Ezekiel 42:1-9

1Then he led me out to the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and opposite the building on the north.

2Its length was 175 feet on the north side, and its width 87½ feet.

3Opposite the 35 feet that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, gallery faced gallery in the three stories.

4In front of the chambers was a walkway on the inner side, 17½ feet wide at a distance of 1¾ feet, and their entrances were on the north.

5Now the upper chambers were narrower, because the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.

6For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and upper ones.

7As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, it was 87½ feet long.

8For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet long.

9Below these chambers was a passage on the east side as one enters from the outer court.
