Context of Ezekiel 42:10

8For the length of the chambers which were in the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, while the length of those facing the temple was a hundred cubits. 9Below these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer courtyard. In the width of the wall of the courtyard toward the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, were chambers; 11and a passage in front of them was like the appearance of the [attached] chambers on the north, and they had the same length and width, and all their exits were like both their arrangements and their entrances. 12And like the entrances of the chambers that were toward the south there was an entrance at the head of the walkway, the walkway in front of the dividing wall toward the east, as one enters them.
