1 And he led me into the outer court by the way that leads to the north, and he led me into the storeroom that was opposite the separate edifice, and opposite the shrine that verges 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 The length of the face of the north gate was one hundred cubits, 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 of the interior court, and opposite the layer of pavement stones in the outer court, in that place, there was a portico joined to a triple portico. 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 storerooms, there was a walkway of ten cubits in width, looking toward the interior along a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward 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 In that place, there were storerooms in the upper part of the lower level. For they supported the porticos, which projected from them out of the lower level, and out of the 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 of three levels, and they did not have pillars, as they were like the pillars of the courts. Because of this, they projected from the lower levels and from the middle, fifty cubits from the ground. 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 the exterior enclosing wall, adjacent to the storerooms that were along the way of the exterior court in front of the storerooms, was fifty cubits long. 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 storerooms of the exterior court was fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was one 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 under these storerooms, there was an entrance from the east, for those who were entering into it 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 In the width of the enclosing wall of the court that was opposite the way of the east, at the face of the separate edifice, there were also storerooms, before the edifice. 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 the way before their face was in accord with the form of the storerooms which were along the way of the north. As was their length, so also was their width. And the entire entrance, and the likenesses, and their doors 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 were in accord with the doors of the storerooms that were on the way looking toward the Renown. There was a door at the head of the way, and the way was before a separate vestibule, along the way entering toward the east. 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 storerooms of the north, and the storerooms of the south, which are before the separate edifice, these are holy storerooms, in which the priests, who draw near to the Lord in the Holy of Holies, shall eat. There they shall station the Holy of Holies, and the offering for sin, and for trespasses. For it is a holy place. 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 And when the priests will have entered, they shall not depart from the holy places into the outer court. And in that place, they shall set their vestments, in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall be clothed with other vestments, and in this manner they shall go forth to 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 when he had completed measuring the inner house, he led me out along the way of the gate that looked toward the way of the east. And he measured it on every side all around. 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 Then he measured facing the east wind with the measuring reed: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course. 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 And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course. 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 And toward the south wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course. 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 And toward the west wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 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 By the four winds, he measured its wall, on every side throughout the course: five hundred cubits in length and five hundred cubits in width, dividing between the sanctuary and the place of the common people. 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.
