Ezekiel 41:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
6 The side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets[a] all round the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple. 7 The passageway[b] of the side chambers widened from story to story; for the structure was supplied with a stairway all round the temple. For this reason the structure became wider from story to story. One ascended from the bottom story to the uppermost story by way of the middle one. 8 I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits.
