Ezekiel Chapter 41 Vs. 5

 The Inner Temple

After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. Eze 41:5

house, six cubits... This would be 10 feet 6 inches.

chamber, four cubits... This would be 7 feet.

round about the... The rooms round about the temple on the outside walls were 3 stories high and numbered 30 in each row (Eze. 41:5-6). These were perhaps planned for use as storehouses for the tithes and offerings, for furniture, and whatever would be used in the eternal sacrifices. They were connected to walls other than the walls of the temple itself, but were considered part of the temple. The openings of the rooms faced the temple walls and the space between them and the walls was a passage or corridor around the temple on the two sides and the west end. There was a winding stairway leading from the first to the second and third stories of the rooms.

The wall of the house was 10 feet 6 inches. The width of these side chambers were 7 feet. They were for the priests, who were serving in the temple. There appeared to be a 10 foot 6 inches wall, separating the most Holy Place, from the chambers for the priests.
