The Sacred Rooms for the Priests

42 1-2 After the man and I left the temple and walked back to the outer courtyard, he showed me a set of rooms on the north side of the west building.[a] This set of rooms was 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. On one side of them was the 10 meters of open space that ran alongside the temple,[b] and on the other side was the sidewalk that circled the outer courtyard.[c] The rooms were arranged in three levels with doors that opened toward the north, and in front of them was a walkway five meters wide and 50 meters long.[d]
