Discovery BoxEzekiel 42:2-8 
Context42:2 Its length was 175 feet 1 on the north side, 2 and its width 87½ feet. 3 42:3 Opposite the 35 feet 4 that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, gallery faced gallery in the three stories. 42:4 In front of the chambers was a walkway on the inner side, 17½ feet 5 wide at a distance of 1¾ feet, 6 and their entrances were on the north. 42:5 Now the upper chambers were narrower, because the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building. 42:6 For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers 7 were set back from the ground more than the lower and upper ones. 42:7 As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, it was 87½ feet 8 long. 42:8 For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet 9 long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet 10 long.
