The side chambers widened with each ascending level — for the Temple wall stepped outward as it rose, broadening the whole structure upward. One climbed from the lowest floor to the uppermost through the middle level.
The side-chambers grew broader as they rose, tier by tier, for the House had a surrounding ledge ascending all around it — and so the House widened as it rose. One ascended from the lowest storey to the highest by way of the middle storey.
And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
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.
