“The width
Of the side chambers was
Four cubits,
All around the temple.
The side chambers were
In three stories,
One over the other,
Thirty in each story.
There were offsets
All around the wall
Of the temple
To serve
As supports
For the side chambers.
Thus,
They would not
Be supported
By the wall
Of the temple.”
Ezekiel explained that there were 90 side chambers that were 4 cubits or 7 feet wide. However, they were stacked on 3 stories, each story with 30 of these small chambers or rooms for storage and treasures. They were not supported by the Temple wall, since these 90 small rooms had their own supports.
