'Side chambers' in the Bible
Against the wall of the Temple he built a series of rooms that encompassed the exterior of the Temple walls around the inner sanctuary. He built these side chambers all around the building.
There were 45 pillars paneled with cedar above the side chambers, with rows of fifteen pillars,
Next, he measured the Temple walls at six cubits high and the width of the side chambers at four cubits around all four sides of the Temple.
The side chambers consisted of three stories, each above the other, with 30 chambers in each story. The side chambers extended out from the wall that faced the inside of the chambers where the chambers were fastened together, but the chamber walls were not fastened directly into the Temple walls themselves.
The side chambers surrounding the Temple were wider at each successive story, because the surrounding structure ascended by proportional increments as it rose, ascending to the highest story by going up successively from the lowest.
I observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits deep.
The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple's side chambers
Shielded windows and palm trees were visible on both sides; that is, on the sides of the porch, the side chambers of the Temple, and on its thresholds.
