And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
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.
