'Passageway' in the Bible

And {in front of} the chambers [was] a passageway ten cubits [in] width toward the inside, a walkway of one cubit, and their doorways [were] to the north.

with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north. Their length and width, as well as all their exits, measurements, and entrances, were identical.

The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.
