Commentators agree on the physical layout described. The verse details a large block of chambers, 100 cubits long (about 150-175 feet) and 50 cubits wide. The entrance was on the north side, facing the outer court. Scholars note these are external measurements, as the prophet viewed the structure from the outside.
