Next, he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.
6
The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but not fastened to the wall of the temple.
7
As one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.
8
I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, a full rod, that is, six cubits high.
9
The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and so also the remaining terrace by the place of the side chambers of the temple.
10
And between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.
11
The doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace was five cubits all around.
12
The building that faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
13
So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long;
14
also the width of the eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one hundred cubits.
15
He measured the length of the building behind it, facing the separating courtyard, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner temple and the porches of the court,
