1. THEN the man [an angel] brought me forth into the outer court northward, and he brought me to the attached chambers that were opposite the temple yard and were opposite the building on the north.
2. Before the long side of one hundred cubits was the door toward the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
3. Adjoining the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was balcony facing balcony in three stories.
4. And before the attached chambers was a walk inward of ten cubits breadth and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north.
5. Now the upper chambers were shorter, for the balconies took off from these more than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.
6. For they were in three stories, but did not have pillars as the pillars of the [outer] court; therefore the upper chambers were set back more than the lower and the middle ones from the ground.
7. And the wall or fence that was outside, opposite and parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, was fifty cubits long,
8. For the length of the [combined] chambers that were on the outer court was fifty cubits, while [the length] of those opposite the temple was a hundred cubits.
9. And under these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one approached them from the outer court.
10. In the breadth of the wall of the court going toward the east, before the yard and before the building, were the chambers
11. With a passage before them that gave the appearance of the attached chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with similar exits and arrangements and doors.
