Ezechiel 41:7
And there was a broad passage round about, going up by winding stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round: therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the lower parts they went to the higher by the midst.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in cœnaculum templi deferebat per gyrum : idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus : et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ τὸ εὖρος τῆς ἀνωτέρας τῶν πλευρῶν κατὰ τὸ πρόσθεμα ἐκ τοῦ τοίχου, πρὸς τὴν ἀνωτέραν κύκλῳ τοῦ οἴκου, ὅπως διαπλατύνηται ἄνωθεν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν κάτωθεν ἀναβαίνωσιν ἐπὶ τὰ ὑπερῷα καὶ ἐκ τῶν γεισῶν ἐπὶ τὰ τριώροφα,

Haydock's commentary
Broader, as the wall was not so thick. (Haydock)
Midst. The two staircases were round in the hollow of the wall, (Menochius) at the eastern end of the chambers. (Josephus) See 3 Kings. (Calmet)
