Ezekiel 41:5-11
Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10½ feet thick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was 7 feet.The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of thirty rooms each. There were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself.The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one.I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10½ feet high.The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8¾ feet. The free space between the side rooms of the templeand the outer chambers was 35 feet wide all around the temple.The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8¾ feet wide all around.

Ezekiel 42:3-12
Opposite the 35 foot space belonging to the inner court and opposite the paved surface belonging to the outer court, the structure rose gallery by gallery in three tiers.In front of the chambers was a walkway toward the inside, 17½ feet wide and 175 feet long, and their entrances were on the north.The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.For they were arranged in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and middle stories.A wall on the outside ran in front of the chambers, parallel to them, toward the outer court; it was 87½ feet long.For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet long, while those facing the great hall were 175 feet long.At the base of these chambers there was an entryway on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the temple yard and the western building,with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north. Their length and width, as well as all their exits, measurements, and entrances, were identical.The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.

It was only later that I asked the king for a leave of absenceso I could return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of God’s house.I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household possessions out of the room.I ordered that the rooms be purified, and I had the articles of the house of God restored there, along with the grain offering and frankincense.
