Ezekiel 42:6 Context
4And before the chambers was a walke of ten cubites breadth inward, a way of one cubite, and their doores toward the North. 5Now the vpper-chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher then these, then the lower, and then the middlemost of the building. 6For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitned more then the lowest, and the middlemost from the ground. 7And the wall that was without ouer against the chambers towards the vtter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fiftie cubites. 8For the length of the chambers that were in the vtter court was fiftie cubites: and loe, before the Temple were an hundreth cubites.
