7. The side rooms grew wider all the way around as they went up, story after story. The surrounding structure went from story to story all around the temple. The structure grew wider as it went higher. A stairway went from the first story through the second story to the third story.
8. I also saw a raised base all around the temple. This base was the foundation for the side rooms. It measured the full length of the measuring rod, 10½ feet.
9. The outer wall of the side rooms was 9 feet thick. There was an open area between the side rooms connected to the temple
10. and the priests’ rooms. It was 35 feet wide and went all around the temple.
