Ezekiel 40:44-49 ▼

44 From the outside to the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, one of which was at the side of the north gate, with its front toward the south, and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.

45 Then he said to me, “This is the chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who keep the responsibility of the house;

46 but the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who keep the responsibility of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to Him.”

47 He measured the court, a perfect square, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the house.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house and measured each side pillar of the porch, five cubits on each side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on each side.

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits; and at the stairway by which it was ascended were columns belonging to the side pillars, one on each side.
