And {there was} an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house {was still} upward, and so increased {from} the lowest {chamber} to the highest by the midst. {there...: Heb. it was made broader, and went round}

I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers {were} a full reed of six great cubits.

The thickness of the wall, which {was} for the side chamber without, {was} five cubits: and {that} which {was} left {was} the place of the side chambers that {were} within.

And between the chambers {was} the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

And the doors of the side chambers {were} toward {the place that was} left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left {was} five cubits round about.
