The mishnah states:19Middos 4:4. “The lowest level was five [cubits] wide, the surface above it was six, as indicated by the verse,20I Melachim 6:6. ‘for he made recesses in the House all around.’ ” Rambam and Rav Ovadiah of Bartenura interpret this as meaning that an indentation measuring one cubit was made on all three levels.

On the outside of that wall, there were three balconies, one on top of the other. This structure was called a yetzia in the Beis HaMikdash built by King Shlomoh.21See I Melachim 6:5, 10.
