1Then 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. (Eze 40:17; Eze 40:20; Eze 41:12; Eze 41:15; Eze 42:10; Eze 42:13)2The length of the building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits,[1] and the breadth fifty cubits. (Eze 41:13; Eze 42:8)3Facing the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement that belonged to the outer court, was gallery[2] against gallery in three stories. (Eze 40:17; Eze 41:10; Eze 41:15; Eze 42:5)4And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long,[3] and their doors were on the north. (Eze 42:11; Eze 46:19)5Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.6For 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.7And there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long. (Eze 42:2; Eze 42:10; Eze 42:12)8For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the nave[4] were a hundred cubits long. (Eze 41:1; Eze 41:13; Eze 41:21; Eze 41:23)9Below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court. (Eze 44:5; Eze 46:19)10In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south[5] also, opposite the yard and opposite the building, there were chambers (Eze 40:17; Eze 42:1; Eze 42:7)11with 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[6] and arrangements and doors, (Eze 42:4)12as 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.[7] (Eze 42:10)13Then 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. (Le 6:16; Le 6:26; Le 10:13; Le 24:9; Nu 18:9; Eze 40:39; Eze 40:46; Eze 42:10)14When 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.” (Le 6:11; Eze 44:19)15Now 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. (Eze 43:1)16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. (Eze 40:3)17He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.18He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.19Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.20He 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. (Eze 22:26; Eze 40:5; Eze 43:12; Eze 44:23; Eze 45:2; Eze 48:15; Re 21:16)
1Then 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.2The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.[1]3Both in the section twenty cubits[2] from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels.4In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits[3] long.[4] Their doors were on the north.5Now 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.6The 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.7There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.8While 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.9The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.10On the south side[5] along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms11with 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 north12were 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.13Then 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[6] and the guilt offerings – for the place is holy.14Once 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.’15When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:16he measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.[7]17He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits[9] by the measuring rod.18He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.19Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.20So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall round it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
Ezekiel 42
King James Version
1Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.2Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.3Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories .4And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.5Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.6For they were in three stories , but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.7And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.8For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.9And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.10The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.11And 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.12And 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 before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.13Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.14When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.15Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.17He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.18He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.19He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.20He 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.
1Then the man led me north into the outer courtyard of the temple. He brought me to the rooms that were opposite the inner courtyard. They were opposite the outer wall of the temple on the north side.2The rooms were in a building north of the temple. The building had a door that faced north. It was 60 metres long. It was 30 metres wide.3One row of rooms was next to the inner courtyard. The other row was opposite the pavement of the outer courtyard. Each room was 12 metres long. Walkways in front of each row faced each other on all three floors.4Between the two rows was an inner pavement. It was 6 metres wide and 60 metres long. Each of the rooms had a door on the north side.5The rooms on the top floor were narrower than the others. The walkways took up more space from these rooms. The walkways took up less space from the rooms on the other two floors.6The courtyards had pillars. But the rooms on the top floor didn’t. So their floor space was smaller than the space in the rooms on the other floors.7The building had an outer wall. It was even with the outer row of rooms and with the outer courtyard. The wall continued east of the outer row for 30 metres.8So there were two rows of rooms. The row next to the outer courtyard was 30 metres long. The one closest to the temple was 60 metres long.9The first floor of the building had an entrance on the east side. It led to the outer courtyard.10There were also two rows of rooms in a building next to the south side of the inner courtyard. The building was opposite the south wall of the outer courtyard.11Between the two rows was an inner pavement. The rooms were like the ones in the north building. They were as long and wide as the rooms on the north. The doorways of the rooms on the south were like the ones on the north.12People entered the south rooms through the doorway at the east end of the inner pavement. The south wall continued east of the outer row of rooms.13The man said to me, ‘The north and south rooms face the inner courtyard. They are the priests’ rooms. That is where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the very holy offerings. They will also store them there. That includes the grain offerings, sin offerings and guilt offerings. This place is holy.14The priests who enter these holy rooms must leave behind the clothes they served in. Then they can go into the outer courtyard. The clothes they served in are holy. So the priests must put other clothes on. They have to do that before they go near the places where other people go.’15The man finished measuring what was inside the temple area. Then he led me out through the east gate. He measured all around the area.16He measured the east side with his measuring rod. It was 300 metres long.17He measured the north side. It was 300 metres long.18He measured the south side. It was 300 metres long.19Finally, he turned and measured the west side. It was 300 metres long.20So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it. The wall was 300 metres long and 300 metres wide. It separated what was holy from what was not.
