According to Ezekiel, the temple had three levels of rooms built one on top of the other, making thirty rooms. These rooms were attached to the temple in a way that didn't need support from the building's main wall.

Ezekiel 41:6: And the side chambers [were] three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house. [one...: Heb. side chamber over side chamber] [thirty...: or, three and thirty times, or, foot] [have hold: Heb. be holden]

Contradiction with 1 Kings 6:5

Describes the temple built by Solomon having chambers all around, but with a different layout and number of stories, contradicting the description in Ezekiel 41:6.

1 Kings 6:5: And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, [against] the walls of the house round about, [both] of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about: [against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall] [built chambers: Heb. built floors] [made chambers: Heb. made ribs]

Contradiction with Exodus 25:9

Contradicts by stating that the tabernacle and its furnishings should be made exactly as shown to Moses on the mountain, differing from Ezekiel’s temple vision design.

Describes an earthly sanctuary with specific elements like the candlestick and table, opposing Ezekiel 41:6, where such details are notably absent in the temple vision.

Hebrews 9:1-2: Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. [ordinances: or, ceremonies]

Contradiction with Revelation 21:22

States there is no temple in the New Jerusalem, which contrasts with Ezekiel 41:6 where a temple structure is explicitly detailed.
