Ezekiel 41:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ Afterward he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits, and the width of every side chamber, four cubits,^[a] all around the temple on every side. ⁶ The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty in each story. There were offsets all around to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple. ⁷ The side chambers became wider with each successive story going up because the structures went up all around the temple. Therefore the width of the temple increased going upwards and thus one went up from the lowest to the highest level through the middle level.
