New International VersionChristian Standard Bible
1Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side.1Then the man led me out by way of the north gate into the outer court. He brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple yard and opposite the building to the north.
2The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.2Along the length of the chambers, which was 175 feet, there was an entrance on the north; the width was 87 1/2 feet.
3Both in the section twenty cubits from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels.3Opposite the 35 foot space belonging to the inner court and opposite the paved surface belonging to the outer court, the structure rose gallery by gallery in three tiers.
4In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.4In front of the chambers was a walkway toward the inside, 17 1/2 feet wide and 175 feet long, and their entrances were on the north.
5Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building.5The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.
6The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors.6For they were arranged 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 middle stories.
7There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.7A wall on the outside ran in front of the chambers, parallel to them, toward the outer court; it was 87 1/2 feet long.
8While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long.8For the chambers on the outer court were 87 1/2 feet long, while those facing the great hall were 175 feet long.
9The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.9At the base of these chambers there was an entryway on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms10In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the temple yard and the western building,
11with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north11with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north. Their length and width, as well as all their exits, measurements, and entrances, were identical.
12were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.12The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.
13Then he said to me, "The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests' rooms, where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings--the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings--for the place is holy.13Then the man said to me, "The northern and southern chambers that face the courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will deposit the most holy offerings--the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings--for the place is holy.
14Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people."14Once the priests have entered, they are not to go out from the holy area to the outer court until they have removed the clothes they minister in, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the public area."
15When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:15When he finished measuring inside the temple complex, he led me out by way of the gate that faced east and measured all around the complex.
16He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.16He measured the east side with a measuring rod; it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
17He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.17He measured the north side; it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
18He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.18He measured the south side; it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
19Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.19Then he turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring rod.
20So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.20He measured the temple complex on all four sides. It had a wall all around it, 875 feet long and 875 feet wide, to separate the holy from the common.
