| King James Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north. | 1Then he led me out into the outer court, toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers that were opposite the separate yard and opposite the building on the north. |
| 2Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. | 2The length of the building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits. |
| 3Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. | 3Facing the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement that belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. |
| 4And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. | 4And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north. |
| 5Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. | 5Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building. |
| 6For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. | 6For 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. |
| 7And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. | 7And there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long. |
| 8For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits. | 8For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the nave were a hundred cubits long. |
| 9And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court. | 9Below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court. |
| 10The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building. | 10In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south also, opposite the yard and opposite the building, there were chambers |
| 11And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors. | 11with a passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits and arrangements and doors, |
| 12And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them. | 12as were the entrances of the chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage, the passage before the corresponding wall on the east as one enters them. |
| 13Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. | 13Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers opposite the yard are the holy chambers, where the priests who approach the LORD shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall put the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy. |
| 14When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people. | 14When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without 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.” |
| 15Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. | 15Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and measured the temple area all around. |
| 16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. | 16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. |
| 17He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. | 17He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. |
| 18He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. | 18He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. |
| 19He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. | 19Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. |
| 20He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. | 20He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, 500 cubits long and 500 cubits broad, to make a separation between the holy and the common. |
