1 THEN he brought me forth into the outer court, to the way toward the north; and he brought me into the room opposite the separate place and 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 Towards the place where he measured a hundred cubits, which is at the north gate, and the breadth of it 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 gate of the inner court, over against the pavement of the outer court, was gallery above gallery in three stories. 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 rooms was a passage ten cubits broad, and its length a hundred cubits; and the door of the passage was 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 Now the upper rooms were smaller because the stairway went through them. 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 stories, but had no pillars like the pillars of the court; therefore the upper rooms were smaller than the lower rooms and the middle ones. 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 wall that was outside, which is opposite the rooms, 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 rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and those before the temple were 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 the door of the room of the vestibule which goes into the outer court was on the east. 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 The rooms were in the breadth of the wall of the court at the eastern gate opposite the separate place, and in front of the building where the rooms were. 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 passage in front of them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north, and the rooms were of the same length and breadth; and all their exits, entrances, their appearance, and their doors were alike. 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 Like to the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way which was directly before the wall toward the place where the eastern valley starts. 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 said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are in front of the separate place, they are rooms where the priests who make offerings to the LORD eat the most holy things; there they lay the most holy things, the meat offering, the sin offering, and the trespass 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 When the priests enter therein, they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments; then they can make offerings on behalf of 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 Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he took me out toward the gate that looks 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 east side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. 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 north side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. 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 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 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 measured the west side, 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 He measured it on the four sides; and the wall round about, five hundred reeds long and five hundred broad, making a separation between the sanctuary and the unconsecrated ground. 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.
