Ezekiel 42:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible
3 Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
4 In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
6 For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
7 An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
