Ezekiel 41:5-11
Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10 1/2 feet thick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was seven feet.The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of 30 rooms each. There were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself.The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one.I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10 1/2 feet high.The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8 3/4 feet. The free space between the side rooms of the templeand the outer chambers was 35 feet wide all around the temple.The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8 3/4 feet wide all around.

Ezekiel 42:4-13
In front of the chambers was a walkway toward the inside, 17 1/2 feet wide and 175 feet long, and their entrances were on the north.The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.For they were arranged in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and middle stories.A wall on the outside ran in front of the chambers, parallel to them, toward the outer court; it was 87 1/2 feet long.For the chambers on the outer court were 87 1/2 feet long, while those facing the great hall were 175 feet long.At the base of these chambers there was an entryway on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the temple yard and the western building,with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north. Their length and width, as well as all their exits, measurements, and entrances, were identical.The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.Then the man said to me,“ The northern and southern chambers that face the temple yard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will deposit the most holy offerings— the grain offerings, sin offerings, and restitution offerings— for the place is holy.
