separating courtyard with the building and its walls was
100 cubits long;
14
The width of the eastern face of the temple,
including the separating courtyard, was 100 cubits. NKJV
DESCRIBE THE BUILDING ON THE WESTERN END:
‘Length 90 cubits, Width 70 cubits & Walls 5 cubits thick

In front of the chambers, toward the inside, was a
walk ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their
doors faced north.
5
Now the upper chambers were shorter, because
the galleries took away space from them more than from
the lower and middle stories of the building.
6
For they were in three stories and did not have
pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper
level was shortened more than the lower and middle
levels from the ground up.
