| 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 to the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and opposite the building on the north. |
| 2Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. | 2Its length was 175 feet on the north side, and its width 87 1/2 feet. |
| 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. | 3Opposite the 35 feet that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, gallery faced gallery in the 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. | 4In front of the chambers was a walkway on the inner side, 17 1/2 feet wide at a distance of 1 3/4 feet, and their entrances 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, because the galleries took more space 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 had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and upper 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. | 7As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, it was 87 1/2 feet 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 87 1/2 feet long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet 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 a passage on the east side as one enters 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. | 10At the beginning of the wall of the court toward the south, facing the courtyard and the building, 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 looked like the chambers on the north. Of the same length and width, and all their exits according to their arrangements and entrances |
| 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. | 12were the chambers which were toward the south. There was an opening at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east when one enters. |
| 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 which face the courtyard are holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings--the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, because 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, then they will not go out from the sanctuary to the outer court without taking off their garments in which they minister, for these are holy; they will put on other garments, then they will go near the places where the people are." |
| 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, he led me out by the gate which faces east and measured 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 stick as 875 feet by the measuring stick. |
| 17He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. | 17He measured the north side as 875 feet by the measuring stick. |
| 18He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. | 18He measured the south side as 875 feet by the measuring stick. |
| 19He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. | 19He turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring stick. |
| 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 all four sides. It had a wall around it, 875 feet long and 875 feet wide, to separate the holy and common places. |
