2
before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
3
over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];
4
and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
5
And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
6
For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
7
And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
8
for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
9
And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
11
and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12
And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.
