'Encompassed' in the Bible

For [a pack of] dogs have surrounded me;A gang of evildoers has encircled me,They pierced my hands and my feet.

The side chambers became wider at each successive level as they encompassed the temple. Because the structure surrounding the temple went higher by stages on all sides of the temple, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest one by way of the second story.
