Ezekiel 42:7

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.

6 For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.

An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.

8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.

9 And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

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.
