Ezekiel 41:7; Ezekiel 42:5; Ezekiel 42:6

Ezekiel 41:7

7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

Ezekiel 42:5

5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.

Ezekiel 42:6

6 For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.
