Ezekiel 42:1-6

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the space which was in front of the building toward the north.

2 In front of the north door the length was one hundred cubits, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

3 Over against the twenty cubits which were in the inner court, and over against the pavement which was in the outer court, were the chambers in three stories.

4 And in front of the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

5 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from the others, from the lower ones and from the middle ones.

6 For they were in three stories, but did not have pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore they were narrower than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
