Ezekiel 41:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Outside the Temple

⁵ Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 3.2 metres thick. The width of the side rooms all round the temple was 2.1 metres.^{[a](A) 6} The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of thirty rooms each.^[b] There were ledges on the wall of the temple all round to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself.^{(B) 7} The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive storey, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest storey to the highest by means of the middle one.^[c](C)
