5 And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
6 For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
7 And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
8 for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
9 And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
