2
Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
3
Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
4
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
5
Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
6
For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7
And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
8
For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
9
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
11
And the way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
