7. Each level was wider than the one below it, corresponding to the narrowing of the Temple wall as it rose higher. A stairway led up from the bottom level through the middle level to the top level.
8. I saw that the Temple was built on a terrace, which provided a foundation for the side rooms. This terrace was 101/2 feet high.
9. The outer wall of the Temple’s side rooms was 83/4 feet thick. This left an open area between these side rooms
10. and the row of rooms along the outer wall of the inner courtyard. This open area was 35 feet wide, and it went all the way around the Temple.
11. Two doors opened from the side rooms into the terrace yard, which was 83/4 feet wide. One door faced north and the other south.
12. A large building stood on the west, facing the Temple courtyard. It was 1221/2 feet wide and 1571/2 feet long, and its walls were 83/4 feet thick.
