Midrasch zu Jechezkiel 41:6
וְהַצְּלָעוֹת֩ צֵלָ֨ע אֶל־צֵלָ֜ע שָׁל֧וֹשׁ וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים פְּעָמִ֗ים וּ֠בָאוֹת בַּקִּ֨יר אֲשֶׁר־לַבַּ֧יִת לַצְּלָע֛וֹת סָבִ֥יב ׀ סָבִ֖יב לִהְי֣וֹת אֲחוּזִ֑ים וְלֹֽא־יִהְי֥וּ אֲחוּזִ֖ים בְּקִ֥יר הַבָּֽיִת׃
Und die Seitenkammern waren drei- und dreißigmal übereinander; und es gab Gesimse in der Wand, die dem Haus für die Seitenkammern ringsum gehörten, damit sie darin halten und nicht in der Wand des Hauses halten konnten.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
R. Simon b. Lakish said: "In the future the Holy One, praised be He! will add to Jerusalem one thousand times the area of Tefef for gardens, one thousand times the area of Kefel for towers, a thousand times the area of Litsuy, containing county seats, and an area of one thousand and two times that of Shiloh, built with prominent mansions, and each of these above mentioned will be like Ziporias in her glory. And there is a Baraitha which states that R. Jose said: "I have seen Ziporias in her glory, and there were one hundred and eighty thousand markets in which only spices for the ingredients for puddings were sold." (Ezek. 41, 6) And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty times. What does that meau? R. Levi said in the name of R. Papi, quoting R. Joshua of Sichni: "If there were three Jerusalems, each of them had thirty chambers on the top; and if there were thirty Jerusalems, each of them had three chambers on the top."
