1 ¶ 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.

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 separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.

2 I n front of the north door the length was one hundred cubits, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

3 O ver 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.

Over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.

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

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

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

Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.

6 F or 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.

For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

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

And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

8 F or 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.

For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.

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

And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.

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

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.

11 A nd 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.

And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

12 A nd 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.

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

13 T hen 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.

Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.

14 W hen 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.

When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.

15 ¶ 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.

Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is 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 on 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 on 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 on 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 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.

He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
