⁴ In front of the chambers was a passage on the inner side, ten cubits wide and one hundred cubits^[a] deep; and their doors faced north. ⁵ Now the upper chambers were shorter. For the galleries were higher than these, than the lower and the middle ones of the building. ⁶ For they were in three stories, but had no pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the building was set back more than the lowest and the middle ones from the ground.
