5. The rooms on the top floor were narrower than the others. The walkways took up more space from them than they did from the rooms on the other two floors.
6. The courtyards had pillars. But the rooms on the third floor didn't. So their floor space was smaller than the space in the rooms on the other floors.
7. The building had an outer wall that was even with the outer row of rooms and with the outer courtyard. The wall continued east of the outer row for 87 and a half feet.
8. So there were two rows of rooms. The row next to the outer courtyard was 87 and a half feet long. The one closest to the temple was 175 feet long.
9. The first floor of the building had an entrance on the east side. It led to the outer courtyard.
10. There were also two rows of rooms in a building next to the south side of the inner courtyard. The building was across from the south wall of the outer courtyard.
11. Between the two rows was an inner sidewalk. The rooms were like the ones in the north building. They were as long and wide as the rooms on the north. The doorways of the rooms on the south were like the ones on the north.
12. People entered the south rooms through the doorway at the east end of the inner sidewalk. The south wall continued east of the outer row of rooms.
13. The man said to me, "The north and south rooms face the inner courtyard. They are the priests' rooms. That is where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the very holy offerings. They will also store them there. That includes the grain offerings, sin offerings and guilt offerings. This place is holy.
