³ Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.

¹⁵ He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at the back of it, and the galleries of it on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

¹⁶ the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings round about, and [from] the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

¹⁰ Between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

³ All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Yahweh was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, [saying], For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.

¹⁷ The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs. Beloved

⁵ Your head on you is like Carmel, The hair of your head like purple; The king is held captive in its tresses.

¹⁷ Then brought he me into the outer court; and, behold, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were on the pavement.

¹⁸ The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

⁵ Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.
