The supports for these side rooms rested on exterior ledges on the Temple wall; they did not extend into the wall.Each level was wider than the one below it, corresponding to the narrowing of the Temple wall as it rose higher.

Ezekiel 42:4-13
Between the two blocks of rooms ran a walkway 17 1/2 feet wide. It extended the entire 175 feet of the complex, and all the doors faced north.Each of the two upper levels of rooms was narrower than the one beneath it because the upper levels had to allow space for walkways in front of them.Since there were three levels and they did not have supporting columns as in the courtyards, each of the upper levels was set back from the level beneath it.There was an outer wall that separated the rooms from the outer courtyard; it was 87 1/2 feet long.This wall added length to the outer block of rooms, which extended for only 87 1/2 feet, while the inner block— the rooms toward the Temple— extended for 175 feet.There was an eastern entrance from the outer courtyard to these rooms.On the south side of the Temple there were two blocks of rooms just south of the inner courtyard between the Temple and the outer courtyard. These rooms were arranged just like the rooms on the north.There was a walkway between the two blocks of rooms just like the complex on the north side of the Temple. This complex of rooms was the same length and width as the other one, and it had the same entrances and doors. The dimensions of each were identical.So there was an entrance in the wall facing the doors of the inner block of rooms, and another on the east at the end of the interior walkway.Then the man told me,“ These rooms that overlook the Temple from the north and south are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. And because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings— the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
