Then the man led me north out into the outer courtyard and to the rooms across from the private area and the building.
2
These rooms on the north side were one hundred seventy-five feet long and eighty-seven and one-half feet wide.
3
There was thirty-five feet of the inner courtyard between them and the Temple. On the other side, they faced the stone pavement of the outer courtyard. The rooms were built in three stories like steps and had balconies.
4
There was a path on the north side of the rooms, which was seventeen and one-half feet wide and one hundred seventy-five feet long. Doors led into the rooms from this path.
5
The top rooms were narrower, because the balconies took more space from them. The rooms on the first and second stories of the building were wider.
6
The rooms were on three stories. They did not have pillars like the pillars of the courtyards. So the top rooms were farther back than those on the first and second stories.
7
There was a wall outside parallel to the rooms and to the outer courtyard. It ran in front of the rooms for eighty-seven and one-half feet.
8
The row of rooms along the outer courtyard was eighty-seven and one-half feet long, and the rooms that faced the Temple were about one hundred seventy-five feet long.
9
The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side so a person could enter them from the outer courtyard,
10
at the start of the wall beside the courtyard. There were rooms on the south side, which were across from the private area and the building.
