| NETBible | The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story; 1 for the structure 2 surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple. For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up, and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story. |
| NIV © |
The side rooms all round the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor. |
| NASB © |
The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story. |
| NLT © |
Each level was wider than the one below it, corresponding to the narrowing of the Temple wall as it rose higher. A stairway led up from the bottom level through the middle level to the top level. |
| MSG © |
The side rooms around the Temple became wider from first floor to second floor to third floor. A staircase went from the bottom floor, through the middle, and then to the top floor. |
| BBE © |
The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor. |
| NRSV © |
The passageway of the side chambers widened from story to story; for the structure was supplied with a stairway all around the temple. For this reason the structure became wider from story to story. One ascended from the bottom story to the uppermost story by way of the middle one. |
| NKJV © |
As one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one. |
| KJV | And [there was] an enlarging <07337> (8804)_, and a winding about <05437> (8738) still upward <04605> to the side chambers <06763>_: for the winding about <04141> of the house <01004> went still upward <04605> round about <05439> the house <01004>_: therefore the breadth <07341> of the house <01004> [was still] upward <04605>_, and so increased <05927> (8799) [from] the lowest <08481> [chamber] to the highest <05945> by the midst <08484>_. {there...: Heb. it was made broader, and went round} |
| NASB © |
The side <6763> chambers <6763> surrounding <5437> the temple were wider <7337> at each successive <4605> story <4605> .

| NET Notes |
1 tc The Hebrew is difficult here. The Targum envisions a winding ramp or set of stairs, which entails reading the first word as a noun rather than a verb and reading the second word also not as a verb, supposing that an initial mem has been read as vav and nun. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:549. 2 tn The Hebrew term occurs only here in the OT. |
