Ezekiel 42:1-6

1 Then he led me out into the inner court, toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers which were opposite the temple yard and opposite the building on the north.

2 The length of the building which was on the north side was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits.

3 Adjoining the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

4 And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north.

5 Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers in the building.

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