They were supported by wall offsets in the temple, so that they were not fastened into the wall of the temple itself. 7 The side rooms became wider as they went higher, because the temple walls narrowed at each upward level. A stairway allowed access from the lower story to the upper story through the middle story. 8 I also saw that the temple had a raised base all around it. This foundation for the side chambers was six cubits high. 9 The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was a free space of open ground around the temple. 10 There was a space of twenty cubits between the side chambers and the outer chambers, all around the temple. 11 The entrances to the side chambers opened into the free space, with one entrance facing north and another facing south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.

Therefore, they were set back from the lower and middle tiers, starting from the ground. 7 There was a wall on the outside beside the chambers, parallel to the outer court—a wall fifty cubits long. 8 For the length of the chambers belonging to the outer court was fifty cubits, whereas those that faced the temple were one hundred cubits long. 9 Underneath these chambers was the entrance from the east, which one could use when coming into them from the outer court. 10 On the width of the wall of the courtyard, facing the separated area and the building, on the east side, were chambers. 11 The passageway in front of them matched the appearance of the chambers on the north; they had the same length and width, with identical exits, designs, and entrances. 12 Just like the entrances of the chambers facing south, there was an entrance at the head of the way that ran before the wall, directly eastward as one approached them. 13 Then he said to me, "The chambers on the north and the chambers on the south, which face the separated area, are the holy chambers where the priests who draw near to the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. They will place the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—there, for the place is holy.
