Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, so that they could be attached, but not be attached to the wall of the temple itself.

And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

And the side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.

I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.

and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width around the temple on every side.

And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north, and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.

And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
