Ezekiel 42:2-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2. Along the length, which was a hundred cubits, was the north door; the width was fifty cubits.

3. Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories.

4. Before the chambers was an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north.

5. Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.

6. For 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 upward, more than the lower and middle ones.

7. As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.

8. For the length of the chambers which were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and behold, the length of those facing the temple was a hundred cubits.

9. Below these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.

10. In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, there were chambers.

11. The way in front of them was like the appearance of the chambers which were on the north, according to their length so was their width, and all their exits were both according to their arrangements and openings.

12. Corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them.
