The width of the entrance [was] ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance [were] five cubits on each side. He also measured the length [of the outer sanctuary] [to be] forty cubits, and the width [to be] twenty vvv cubits.

The side rooms… surrounding the temple widened at each successive level…,… because the structure surrounding… the temple ascended by stages corresponding to… the narrowing of the temple wall… as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.
