of every side chamber four cubits round about the house on every side.
41:6. And the side chambers one by another, were twice thirty-three: and
they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall of the
house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of
the temple.
One by another... Or one over another; literally, side to side, or side
upon side.
41:7. And there was a broad passage round about, going up by winding
stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round:
therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the
lower parts they went to the higher by the midst.
41:8. And I saw in the house the height round about, the foundations of
the side chambers which were the measure of a reed the space of six
cubits:
41:9. And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber without, which

place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
41:15. And he measured the length of the building over against it, which
