1 And he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separating courtyard, and that opposite the building toward the north. Then 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. Then 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.
2 Toward the face of its length was a hundred cubits, with the door to the north, and the width was fifty cubits. The length of the building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits. The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 Opposite the twenty cubits that were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement for the outer court, was a gallery to the face of a gallery in three parts. Facing 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. Both 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.
4 And before the face of the chambers was a walkway, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were to the north. And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north. In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
5 And the upper chambers were shorter, for the galleries took away from them, on the lower and middle of the building. Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building. Now 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.
6 For they were in three parts, and there was not unto them pillars like the pillars of the courts; upon thus it was shortened from the ground more than the lower and middle. 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. The 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.
7 And a wall that was on the outside was over against the chambers, toward the outer court, toward the face of the chambers; its length was fifty cubits. And there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long. There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.
8 For the length of the chambers that were toward the outer court was fifty cubits, and, behold, upon those facing the temple was a hundred cubits. For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the nave were a hundred cubits long. While 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.
9 And below these chambers was the entry on the east, as one enters them from the outer court. Below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court. The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10 Along the length of the wall of the court toward the south, toward the face of the separating courtyard, and toward the face of the building, were chambers In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south also, opposite the yard and opposite the building, there were chambers On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms
11 and a pathway before them, the appearance of the chambers that were toward the north, like their length so their width, and all their exits and according to their doors and according to their fashions, with 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, with 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 north
12 and according to their doors of the chambers that were toward the south. A door was at the head of the walkway, directly at the face of the wall toward the east in entering them. as 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. were 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.
13 And he said to me: “The chambers to the north and the chambers to the south, which are toward the face of the separating courtyard, they are the holy chambers in which the priests, those who nearest to YHWH, will eat there the holy of holies; they will lay the holy of holies there—the grain offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy. Then 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. Then 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.
14 With the entering of the priests, they will not go out the holy area into the outer court, and there they will leave their garments in which they minister—for they are holy—and they will put on other garments, they may come near to that which is for the people.” When 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.” Once 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.”
15 And he had completed the measurements of the inner temple, and he brought me out through the gateway that has its face toward the east, and he measured it round about. Now 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. When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:
16 He measured the side to the east with a measuring rod, five hundred cubits, by the measuring rod, all around. He measured the east side with the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.
17 He measured the side to the north, five hundred cubits, by the measuring rod, all around. He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
18 The side to the south he measured, five hundred cubits, by the measuring rod. He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
19 He came around to the side to the west; he measured five hundred cubits, by the measuring rod. Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
20 At the four sides he measured it. A wall was unto it round about, a length of five hundred cubits, and a width of five hundred, to separate between the holy and the common. He 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. So 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.
