Yechezkel 42:2-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

2. Before the length of a hundred cubits was the Petach HaTzafon, and the width was fifty cubits.

3. Opposite the twenty cubits of the khatzer hapenimah, and opposite the ritzpah which was for the khatzer hakhitzonah, was atik (balcony) against atik in three stories.

4. And before the leshakhot was a mahalach (walkway) ten cubits in width leading inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

5. Now the upper leshakhot were narrow; for the atikim took space from these, from the lower, and from the middlemost of the Binyan.

6. For they were in three stories, but had not ammudim like the ammudim of the khatzerot; therefore they were set back from the ground more than the lowest and the middlemost.

7. And the wall that was outside over against the leshakhot, toward the khatzer hakhitzonah on the forepart of the leshakhot, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

8. For the length of the leshakhot that were in the khatzer hakhitzonah was fifty cubits; and, hineh, before the Heikhal were a hundred cubits.

9. And from below these leshakhot was the entrance on the east side, as one goeth into them from the khatzer hakhitzonah.

10. In the thickness of the wall of the khatzer toward the east, facing the Gizrah, and over against the Binyan, were leshakhot (side rooms).
