Context of Ezekiel 42:9

7There was a wall that went across the outside yard in front of the lowest rooms. The wall was 25 metres long. 8The row of rooms in the outside yard was also 25 metres long. But the other row of rooms in the inside yard, opposite the temple, was 50 metres long. The lowest level of rooms had an entrance from the outside yard at the east end of the building. 10This entrance was at the end of the wall in the outside yard. There was another building like this one on the south side of the temple. It was opposite the other building and it also had two rows of rooms. 11There was path between the two rows. They looked the same as the rooms on the north side. The size of the rooms and the entrances were the same as those of the other building.
