Ezekiel 42:5

And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.

Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.

Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.
