Ezekiel 42:3-5
International Children’s Bible
3 There was 35 feet of the Temple courtyard between this building and the Temple. On the other side, this building faced the stone pavement of the outer courtyard. The building had rooms and balconies on three stories. 4 There was a hallway on the north side of the rooms. It was 17½ feet wide and 175 feet long. Doors led into the rooms from this hallway. 5 The top rooms were narrower. This was because the balconies took more space from them. The rooms on the first and second stories of the building were wider.
