“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.”
The chambers were in three stories, and did not have pillars like the pillars of the courtyards, therefore the upper chambers set back more than the lower and middle chambers—explaining that the chambers are self-supporting without additional columns, and upper chambers project less than lower ones. This structural arrangement suggests stepped or tiered profile. This verse clarifies the structural design.
