1 Then he brought me to the outer, north-facing courtyard into the chamber that stood opposite the structure that was facing 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 It stood 100 cubits long and 50 cubits wide, with a door in the middle. 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 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. 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 In front of the chambers there was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and 100 cubits wide, the openings to which were on 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 The upper chambers were narrower, since the galleries required more space than did the lower and middle portions 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 The 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. 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 The outer wall by the side of the chambers toward the outer court and facing the chambers was 50 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 While the chambers in the outer court were 50 cubits in length, the chambers facing the Temple were 100 cubits long. 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 Below these chambers, as one might enter from the outer court, was the east side entrance. 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 There 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, 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 with 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. 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 Corresponding 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. 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 Then 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. 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 When 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.| 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 After he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the east-facing gate and measured it 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 He measured the east side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick, 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 the north side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick, 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 south side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick, 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 the west side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick. 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 He measured a wall that encompassed all four sides, 500 hundred long and 500 wide, dividing between the sacred and common areas. 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.
