1Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north. 2Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 3Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story. 4And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits’ breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. 5Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle ones, in the building. 6For they were in three stories, and they did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was narrowed more than the lowest and the middle ones from the ground. 7And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, its length was fifty cubits. 8For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, look, before the temple were a hundred cubits. 9And from under these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court. 10In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers. 11And 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 exits were both according to their arrangements, and according to their doors. 12And 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 enters into them. 13Then he said to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests who are near to Yehovah shall eat the most holy things: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. 14When the priests enter in, 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 they shall put on other garments, and shall approach what pertains to the people. 15Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that faces toward the east, and measured it all around. 16He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around. 17He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around. 18He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 19He turned around to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall all around, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between what was holy and what was common.
