Ezekiel 42:8

Verse 8 of 20. The 42nd of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

4Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

5Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.

6For they were in three stories, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.

7The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long.

8For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits.

9From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

10In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.

11The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors.

12Like the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
