Ezekiel  


42 : 1 Then he led me out intothe outer court,toward the north, and he brought me tothe chambers that were oppositethe separate yard and oppositethe building on the north.
42 : 2 The length of the building whose door faced north wasa hundred cubits,andthe breadth fifty cubits.
42 : 3 Facingthe twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and facingthe pavement that belonged to the outer court, wasgalleryagainst gallery in three stories.
42 : 4 Andbefore the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide anda hundred cubits long,andtheir doors were on the north.
42 : 5 Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.
42 : 6 For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courts. Thus the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones.
42 : 7 Andthere was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers,fifty cubits long.
42 : 8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those oppositethe navewerea hundred cubits long.
42 : 9 Below these chambers wasan entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.
42 : 10 In the thickness ofthe wall of the court, on the southalso, oppositethe yard and oppositethe building, there werechambers
42 : 11 witha passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exitsand arrangements anddoors,
42 : 12 as were the entrances of the chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage, the passage beforethe corresponding wall on the east as one enters them.
42 : 13 Then he said to me,The north chambers and the south chambers oppositethe yard are the holy chambers,where the priests who approach theLordshall eat themost holy offerings. There they shall put the most holy offerings&emdash;the grain offering,the sin offering, andthe guilt offering&emdash;for the place is holy.
42 : 14 When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer courtwithout laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy.They shall put on other garments before they go near to that which is for the people.
42 : 15 Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out bythe gate that faced east, and measured the temple area all around.
42 : 16 He measured the east side withthe measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.
42 : 17 He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.
42 : 18 He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
42 : 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
42 : 20 He measured it on the four sides. It hada wall around it,500 cubits long and500 cubits broad,to make a separation between the holy and the common.
