Ezekiel 42:5
“Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.”
Verse in context — Ezekiel 42
Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits' breadth 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.
For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.
