1 T hen the man brought me forth into the outer court northward, and he brought me to the attached chambers that were opposite the temple yard and were opposite the building on the north.

¶ Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the space which was in front of the building toward the north.

2 B efore the long side of one hundred cubits was the door toward the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

In front of the north door the length was one hundred cubits, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

3 A djoining the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was balcony facing balcony in three stories.

Over against the twenty cubits which were in the inner court, and over against the pavement which was in the outer court, were the chambers in three stories.

4 A nd before the attached chambers was a walk inward of ten cubits breadth and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north.

And in front of the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

5 N ow the upper chambers were shorter, for the balconies took off from these more than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.

Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from the others, from the lower ones and from the middle ones.

6 F or they were in three stories, but did not have pillars as the pillars of the court; therefore the upper chambers were set back more than the lower and the middle ones from the ground.

For they were in three stories, but did not have pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore they were narrower than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

7 A nd the wall or fence that was outside, opposite and parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, was fifty cubits long,

And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was fifty cubits long.

8 F or the length of the chambers that were on the outer court was fifty cubits, while of those opposite the temple was a hundred cubits.

For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and before the front of the temple were one hundred cubits.

9 A nd under these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one approached them from the outer court.

And under these chambers was the entry to the temple on the east side, to enter in to it from the outer court.

10 I n the breadth of the wall of the court going toward the east, before the yard and before the building, were the chambers

All along the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and in front of the building were chambers.

11 W ith a passage before them that gave the appearance of the attached chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with similar exits and arrangements and doors.

And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they; and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

12 A nd like the doors of the chambers that were toward the south there was an entrance at the head of the way, the way before the dividing wall toward the east, as one enters them.

And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.

13 T hen said the man to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the yard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings; there shall they lay the most holy things—the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass or guilt offering—for the place is holy.

Then he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the holy offerings; there they shall lay the holy offerings, and the present, and that which was offered as sin, and as guilt; for the place is holy.

14 W hen the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court unless they lay aside there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy, separate, and set apart. They shall put on other garments before they approach that which is for the people.

When the priests enter therein, then 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 shall put on other garments, and in this manner shall approach unto that which is of the people.

15 N ow when he had finished measuring the inner temple area, he brought me forth toward the gate which faces east and measured it round about.

¶ Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate facing toward the east and measured it round about.

16 H e measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

17 H e measured the north side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

He measured the north side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

18 H e measured the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

He measured the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

19 H e turned about to the west side and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

20 H e measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, the length five hundred reeds and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
