While the author is using the same word here that is translated as addition in the previous verse, here he is using a feminine form to mean one part of the structure, specifically one of its three floors. In the previous verse and in [6:10](../06/10.md), the author uses the masculine form to mean the entire structure. If your language uses forms of different gender in the same way, you could do that here in your translation. If not, you could indicate the meaning explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The lowest floor of the addition]

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and the middle floor … and the third floor]

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

The term third refers here to the highest of the three levels of rooms built alongside the temple walls, as mentioned in verse 5 and in verse 8. If your language would not represent a number in a form such as third, you could represent this number in a form that your language would use. Alternate translation: [and floor three] or [and the highest floor]

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [This was possible because]
