1. Then the man led me out by way of the north gate into the outer court. He brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple yard and opposite the building to the north.
2. Along the length of the chambers, which was 175 feet, there was an entrance on the north; the width was 87 1/2 feet.
3. Opposite the 35 foot space belonging to the inner court and opposite the paved surface belonging to the outer court, the structure rose gallery by gallery in three tiers.
4. In front of the chambers was a walkway toward the inside, 17 1/2 feet wide and 175 feet long, and their entrances were on the north.
5. The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.
6. For they were arranged 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 middle stories.
7. A wall on the outside ran in front of the chambers, parallel to them, toward the outer court; it was 87 1/2 feet long.
