Ezechiel 42:6

Want zij lagen in drie verdiepingen en hadden geen zuilen, zoals de zuilen van de voorhoven; daarom was er van de onderste en middelste iets afgenomen, van de grond af.

For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
