Ezekiel 42:5 — Meaning and Application

Over against the twenty {cubits} which {were} for the inner court, and over against the pavement which {was} for the utter court, {was} gallery against gallery in three {stories}.

And before the chambers {was} a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

Now the upper chambers {were} shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. {were higher...: or, did eat of these} {than the lower...: or, and the building consisted of the lower and the middlemost}

For they {were} in three {stories}, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore {the building} was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

And the wall that {was} without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof {was} fifty cubits.
