Ezekiel 42:5-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. The upper chambers were smaller, because the promenades took up more space from them than from the first and second stories.

6. This was because the promenades were arranged in three levels, but they didn’t have columns like those in the courtyards. For this reason, the top story was narrower than the first and second stories.

7. A stone wall ran parallel to the chambers facing the outer courtyard. It was seventy-five feet long,

8. the same length, seventy-five feet, as the chambers facing the outer courtyard. Those facing the temple were one hundred fifty feet.

9. -

10. These chambers were entered from the outer courtyard at the end of the courtyard wall, because the entrance was at the end of the chambers at the east. South of the yard and the building, there were more chambers with a passage

11. in front of them. The design of the chambers resembled the ones to the north in length and width, as well as in all their exits. The arrangement of the entrances

12. to the chambers on the south side was identical as well. One entered from the east at the beginning of the corresponding wall.
