New King James Version

International Standard Version

1Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

1Then he brought me to the outer, north-facing courtyard into the chamber that stood opposite the structure that was facing north.

2Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door.

2It stood 100 cubits long and 50 cubits wide, with a door in the middle.

3Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

3Opposite the 20 cubits wide inner court, and opposite the paved area that comprised the outer court, there were three stories of galleries that faced each other.

4In front of the chambers, toward the inside, was a walk ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.

4In front of the chambers there was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and 100 cubits wide, the openings to which were on the north.

5Now the upper chambers were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle stories of the building.

5The upper chambers were narrower, since the galleries required more space than did the lower and middle portions of the building.

6For they were in three stories and did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper level was shortened more than the lower and middle levels from the ground up.

6The three part structure had no columns, unlike the courts, which is why the upper chambers were offset from the ground upward, more so than the lower and middle chambers.

7And a wall which was outside ran parallel to the chambers, at the front of the chambers, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.

7The outer wall by the side of the chambers toward the outer court and facing the chambers was 50 cubits long.

8The length of the chambers toward the outer court was fifty cubits, whereas that facing the temple was one hundred cubits.

8While the chambers in the outer court were 50 cubits in length, the chambers facing the Temple were 100 cubits long.

9At the lower chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

9Below these chambers, as one might enter from the outer court, was the east side entrance.

10Also there were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separating courtyard and opposite the building.

10There were chambers built into the thick part of the wall of the court facing the east; that is, facing the separate area toward the front of the building,

11There was a walk in front of them also, and their appearance was like the chambers which were toward the north; they were as long and as wide as the others, and all their exits and entrances were according to plan.

11with a passageway in front of them, similar in appearance to the chambers that were on the north, proportional to their length and width, with all of their exits according to their arrangements and doorways.

12And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, as one enters them, there was a door in front of the walk, the way directly in front of the wall toward the east.

12Corresponding to the chamber doorways facing the south was an opening at the beginning of the passage; that is, the passage in front of the corresponding part of the wall facing east as one might enter.

13Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering—for the place is holy.

13Then he told me, "The north and south chamber, which are opposite the courtyard, are consecrated areas where the priests who approach the LORD will eat consecrated offerings and lay the consecrated grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings, because the area is holy.

14When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy chamber into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.”

14When the priest enters, they will not enter the outer court from the sanctuary without having removed their garments worn during their time of ministry, because they are holy. They will put on different clothes, and then they will approach the area reserved for the people."

15Now when he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the gateway that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.

15After he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the east-facing gate and measured it all around.

16He measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

16He measured the east side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

17He measured the north side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

17the north side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

18He measured the south side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod.

18the south side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

19He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.

19and the west side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick.

20He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred wide, to separate the holy areas from the common.

20He measured a wall that encompassed all four sides, 500 hundred long and 500 wide, dividing between the sacred and common areas.
