Ezekiel 42:2

Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the three stories.

Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.
