Ezekiel 42:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The twenty cubits space of the inner court, or court of the temple, faced the south front of this row of chambers, their southern lights looked into this space, and to the north of the temple: The pavement, which was in the priests court, and on the north side of this building, into which pavement the north windows looked. Gallery against gallery; that is, a gallery on the south part toward the inner court, and a gallery toward the pavement northward, and between the backs of these galleries were chambers. In three stories; either in height, or else in three ranks, as now placed, two galleries on the sides, and a chamber in the midst; or two rows of chambers, and one long gallery in the middle.
