The Side Chambers on the Wall

5 Next, he measured the wall of the1 temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.  
6 aThe side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on1 ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but bnot fastened to the wall of the temple.  
7 As one went up from story to story, the side chambers abecame 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, aa 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 the1 temple.

<< Ezekiel 41:6   Ezekiel 41:8 >>


Ezekiel 41:7

An enlarging - Of the side chambers, so much of breadth added to the chamber, as was taken from the thickness of the wall; that is, two cubits in the uppermost, and one cubit in the middle - most, more than in the lowest chambers. A winding about - Winding stairs, which enlarged as the rooms did, and these run up between each two chambers from the bottom to the top; so there were two doors at the head of each pair of stairs, one door opening into one chamber, and the other into the opposite chamber. For the winding about - These stairs, as they rose in height, enlarged themselves too. Round about - On all sides of the house where these chambers were. The breadth - Of each chamber. Increased - Grew broader by one cubit in every upper chamber. From five in the lowest to six in the middle, and to seven in the highest chamber.
