8And I saw that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six cubits to the offset.

9The width of the wall that belonged to the side chambers on the outside was five cubits, and the open area between the side chambers of the house.

10And between the chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple, all around.

11And the doorway of the side chamber was toward the free space, one doorway toward the north and one doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.
