3 sculptured in the same manner as the gates of the inner court and set off in the same manner as the peristyles of the outer court with a triple range of piazzas in front of the house.
4 And over against the chambers was a walk ten cubits broad and a hundred cubits long and their doors were towards the north.
5 And in like manner there were walks for the upper stories. For the upper piazza was taken from the building and out of that which was a piazza below was made a platform. So there was a piazza and a platform; and this was the case with two of the piazzas,
6 for there were three one above another.; But they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer piazzas; therefore the upper chambers were straightened more than the middle and the middle more than those on the ground.
7 And they had light from without in the same manner as the chambers of the outer court, in front of these chambers on the north, the extent being fifty cubits.
8 For the chambers which looked into the outer court were fifty cubits deep and were the fore front of these. The whole building was a hundred cubits long.
9 Now there were doors of these chambers opening into an entry facing the east. So there was a passage through them from the outer court along this entry to the lighted walk at the head of this passage.
10 And with regard to those on the south in front of that vacancy and in front of that partition wall, both the chambers
11 and the walk before them were of the same measures as those of the chambers on the north. Their length was the same; and their breadth the same. And all their outlets and all their windings were the same; and their lights and their doors the same.
12 And these chambers on the south had in like manner doors from the head of the walk into an entry which was a reed broad and gave a passage to the east.
