Ezekiel 42:3

1 Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.

2 The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.

4 In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
