1 A nd he bringeth me forth unto the outer court, the way northward, and he bringeth me in unto the chamber that over-against the separate place, and that over-against the building at the north.

Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

2 A t the front of the length a hundred cubits the north opening, and the breadth fifty cubits.

Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door.

3 O ver-against the twenty that are to the inner court, and over-against the pavement that to the outer court, gallery over-against gallery, in the three.

Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

4 A nd at the front of the chambers a walk of ten cubits in breadth unto the inner part, a way of one cubit, and their openings at the north.

In front of the chambers, toward the inside, was a walk ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.

5 A nd the upper chambers short, for the galleries contain more than these, than the lower, and than the middle one, of the building;

Now the upper chambers were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle stories of the building.

6 f or they threefold, and they have no pillars as the pillars of the court, therefore it hath been kept back -- more than the lower and than the middle one -- from the ground.

For they were in three stories and did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper level was shortened more than the lower and middle levels from the ground up.

7 A s to the wall that at the outside, over-against the chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the chambers, its length fifty cubits;

And a wall which was outside ran parallel to the chambers, at the front of the chambers, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.

8 f or the length of the chambers that to the outer court fifty cubits, and of those on the front of the temple a hundred cubits.

The length of the chambers toward the outer court was fifty cubits, whereas that facing the temple was one hundred cubits.

9 A nd under these chambers the entrance from the east, in one's going into them from the outer court.

At the lower chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

10 I n the breadth of the wall of the court eastward, unto the front of the separate place, and unto the front of the building, chambers.

Also there were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separating courtyard and opposite the building.

11 A nd the way before them as the appearance of the chambers that northward, according to their length so their breadth, and all their outlets, and according to their fashions, and according to their openings.

There was a walk in front of them also, and their appearance was like the chambers which were toward the north; they were as long and as wide as the others, and all their exits and entrances were according to plan.

12 A nd according to the openings of the chambers that southward an opening at the head of the way, the way directly in the front of the wall eastward in entering them.

And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, as one enters them, there was a door in front of the walk, the way directly in front of the wall toward the east.

13 A nd he saith unto me, `The north chambers, the south chambers, that at the front of the separate place, they holy chambers, where the priests (who near to Jehovah) eat the most holy things, there they place the most holy things, and the present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, for the place holy.

Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering—for the place is holy.

14 I n the priests' going in, they come not out from the sanctuary unto the outer court, and there they place their garments with which they minister, for they holy, and have put on other garments, and have drawn near unto that which for the people.'

When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy chamber into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.” Outer Dimensions of the Temple
