[1] Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north. [2] Facing the length of one hundred cubitsⓘ was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits. [3] Opposite 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 three stories. [4] Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. [5] Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building. [6] For they were in three stories, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground. [7] The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long. [8] For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits. [9] From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court. [10] In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms. [11] The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors. [12] Like the doors of the rooms 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. [13] Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. [14] When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.” [15] Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces toward the east, and measured it all around. [16] He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around. [17] He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around. [18] He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. [19] He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. [20] He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred cubits, and the width five hundred cubits, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

King James Version
[1] Then he brought me forth H3318 (HiphImpf) into the utter H2435 court, H2691 the way toward H1870 the north: H6828 and he brought H935 (HiphImpf) me into the chamber H3957 that was over against the separate place, H1508 and which was before the building H1146 toward the north. H6828 [2] Before H6440 the length H753 of an hundred H3967 cubits H520 was the north H6828 door, H6607 and the breadth H7341 was fifty H2572 cubits. H520 [3] Over against the twenty H6242 cubits which were for the inner H6442 court, H2691 and over against the pavement H7531 which was for the utter H2435 court, H2691 was gallery H862 against H6440 gallery H862 in three H7992 stories. [4] And before H6440 the chambers H3957 was a walk H4109 of ten H6235 cubits H520 breadth H7341 inward, H6442 a way H1870 of one H259 cubit; H520 and their doors H6607 toward the north. H6828 [5] Now the upper H5945 chambers H3957 were shorter: H7114 (QalPasPtc) for the galleries H862 were higher H398 (QalImpf) than these, H2007 than the lower, H8481 and than the middlemost H8484 of the building. H1146 [6] For they were in three H8027 (PualPtc) stories, but had not pillars H5982 as the pillars H5982 of the courts: H2691 therefore the building was straitened H680 (NiphPerf) more than the lowest H8481 and the middlemost H8484 from the ground. H776 [7] And the wall H1447 that was without H2351 over against H5980 the chambers, H3957 toward H1870 the utter H2435 court H2691 on the forepart H6440 of the chambers, H3957 the length H753 thereof was fifty H2572 cubits. H520 [8] For the length H753 of the chambers H3957 that were in the utter H2435 court H2691 was fifty H2572 cubits: H520 and, lo, before H6440 the temple H1964 were an hundred H3967 cubits. H520 [9] And from under§ these chambers H3957 was the entry§ H3996 (Qere) on the east side, H6921 as one goeth H935 (QalInf)§ into them H2007 from the utter H2435 court. H2691 [10] The chambers H3957 were in the thickness H7341 of the wall H1444 of the court H2691 toward H1870 the east, H6921 over against H6440 the separate place, H1508 and over against H6440 the building. H1146 [11] And the way H1870 before H6440 them was like the appearance H4758 of the chambers H3957 which were toward H1870 the north, H6828 as long as H753 they, and as broad as H3651 they: and all their goings out H4161 were both according to their fashions, H4941 and according to their doors. H6607 [12] And according to the doors H6607 of the chambers H3957 that were toward H1870 the south H1864 was a door H6607 in the head H7218 of the way, H1870 even the way H1870 directly H1903 before H6440 the wall H1448 toward H1870 the east, H6921 as one entereth H935 (QalInf) into them. [13] Then said H559 (QalImpf) he unto me, The north H6828 chambers H3957 and the south H1864 chambers, H3957 which are before H6440 the separate place, H1508 they be holy H6944 chambers, H3957 where the priests H3548 that approach H7138 unto the Lord H3068 shall eat H398 (QalImpf) the most H6944 holy things: H6944 there shall they lay H3240 (HiphImpf) the most H6944 holy things, H6944 and the meat offering, H4503 and the sin offering, H2403 and the trespass offering; H817 for the place H4725 is holy. H6918 [14] When the priests H3548 enter H935 (QalInf) therein, then shall they not go out H3318 (QalImpf) of the holy H6944 place into the utter H2435 court, H2691 but there they shall lay H3240 (HiphImpf) their garments H899 wherein they minister; H8334 (PielImpf) for they are holy; H6944 and shall put H3847 (QalPerf/Qere) on other H312 garments, H899 and shall approach H7126 (QalPerf) to those things which are for the people.

The Whole Enclosure
[15] Now when he had made an end H3615 (PielPerf) of measuring H4060 the inner H6442 house, H1004 he brought me forth H3318 (HiphPerf) toward H1870 the gate H8179 whose prospect H6440 is toward H1870 the east, H6921 and measured H4058 (QalPerf) it round about. H5439 [16] He measured H4058 (QalPerf) the east H6921 side H7307§ with the measuring H4060 reed, H7070 five H2568 (Qere) hundred H3967 reeds, H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 round about. H5439 [17] He measured H4058 (QalPerf) the north H6828 side, H7307 five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds, H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 round about. H5439 [18] He measured H4058 (QalPerf) the south H1864 side, H7307 five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds, H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed. H7070 [19] He turned about H5437 (QalPerf) to the west H3220 side, H7307 and measured H4058 (QalPerf) five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed. H7070 [20] He measured H4058 (QalPerf) it by the four H702 sides: H7307 it had a wall H2346 round about, H5439 five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds long, H753 and five H2568 hundred H3967 broad, H7341 to make a separation H914 (HiphInf) between the sanctuary H6944 and the profane place.
