Context of Ezekiel 41:10

8I saw that the Temple was built on a terrace, which provided a foundation for the side rooms. This terrace was 10-1/2 feet high. 9The outer wall of the Temple’s side rooms was 8-3/4 feet thick. This left an open area between these side rooms and the row of rooms along the outer wall of the inner courtyard. This open area was 35 feet wide, and it went all the way around the Temple. 11Two doors opened from the side rooms into the terrace yard, which was 8-3/4 feet wide. One door faced north and the other south. 12A large building stood on the west, facing the Temple courtyard. It was 122-1/2 feet wide and 157-1/2 feet long, and its walls were 8-3/4 feet thick.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. the chambers--that is, of the priests in the court: between these and the side chambers was the wideness, &c.
