^[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.

^[1] Then he brought me forthH3318(HiphImpf) into the utterH2435 court,H2691 the way towardH1870 the north:H6828 and he broughtH935(HiphImpf) me into the chamberH3957 that [was] over against the separate place,H1508 and which [was] before the buildingH1146 toward the north.H6828 ^[2] BeforeH6440 the lengthH753 of an hundredH3967 cubitsH520 [was] the northH6828 door,H6607 and the breadthH7341 [was] fiftyH2572 cubits.H520 ^[3] Over against the twentyH6242 [cubits] which [were] for the innerH6442 court,H2691 and over against the pavementH7531 which [was] for the utterH2435 court,H2691 [was] galleryH862 againstH6440 galleryH862 in threeH7992 [stories]. ^[4] And beforeH6440 the chambersH3957 [was] a walkH4109 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 breadthH7341 inward,H6442 a wayH1870 of oneH259 cubit;H520 and their doorsH6607 toward the north.H6828 ^[5] Now the upperH5945 chambersH3957 [were] shorter:H7114(QalPasPtc) for the galleriesH862 were higherH398(QalImpf) than these,H2007 than the lower,H8481 and than the middlemostH8484 of the building.H1146 ^[6] For they [were] in threeH8027(PualPtc) [stories], but had not pillarsH5982 as the pillarsH5982 of the courts:H2691 therefore [the building] was straitenedH680(NiphPerf) more than the lowestH8481 and the middlemostH8484 from the ground.H776 ^[7] And the wallH1447 that [was] withoutH2351 over againstH5980 the chambers,H3957 towardH1870 the utterH2435 courtH2691 on the forepartH6440 of the chambers,H3957 the lengthH753 thereof [was] fiftyH2572 cubits.H520 ^[8] For the lengthH753 of the chambersH3957 that [were] in the utterH2435 courtH2691 [was] fiftyH2572 cubits:H520 and, lo, beforeH6440 the templeH1964 [were] an hundredH3967 cubits.H520 ^[9] And from under these chambersH3957 [was] the entryH3996(Qere) on the east side,H6921 as one goethH935(QalInf) into themH2007 from the utterH2435 court.H2691 ^[10] The chambersH3957 [were] in the thicknessH7341 of the wallH1444 of the courtH2691 towardH1870 the east,H6921 over againstH6440 the separate place,H1508 and over againstH6440 the building.H1146 ^[11] And the wayH1870 beforeH6440 them [was] like the appearanceH4758 of the chambersH3957 which [were] towardH1870 the north,H6828 as long asH753 they, [and] as broad asH3651 they: and all their goings outH4161 [were] both according to their fashions,H4941 and according to their doors.H6607 ^[12] And according to the doorsH6607 of the chambersH3957 that [were] towardH1870 the southH1864 [was] a doorH6607 in the headH7218 of the way,H1870 [even] the wayH1870 directlyH1903 beforeH6440 the wallH1448 towardH1870 the east,H6921 as one enterethH935(QalInf) into them. ^[13] Then saidH559(QalImpf) he unto me, The northH6828 chambersH3957 [and] the southH1864 chambers,H3957 which [are] beforeH6440 the separate place,H1508 they [be] holyH6944 chambers,H3957 where the priestsH3548 that approachH7138 unto the LordH3068 shall eatH398(QalImpf) the mostH6944 holy things:H6944 there shall they layH3240(HiphImpf) the mostH6944 holy things,H6944 and the meat offering,H4503 and the sin offering,H2403 and the trespass offering;H817 for the placeH4725 [is] holy.H6918 ^[14] When the priestsH3548 enterH935(QalInf) therein, then shall they not go outH3318(QalImpf) of the holyH6944 [place] into the utterH2435 court,H2691 but there they shall layH3240(HiphImpf) their garmentsH899 wherein they minister;H8334(PielImpf) for they [are] holy;H6944 and shall putH3847(QalPerf/Qere) on otherH312 garments,H899 and shall approachH7126(QalPerf) to [those things] which [are] for the people.H5971 ^[15] Now when he had made an endH3615(PielPerf) of measuringH4060 the innerH6442 house,H1004 he brought me forthH3318(HiphPerf) towardH1870 the gateH8179 whose prospectH6440 [is] towardH1870 the east,H6921 and measuredH4058(QalPerf) it round about.H5439 ^[16] He measuredH4058(QalPerf) the eastH6921 sideH7307 with the measuringH4060 reed,H7070 fiveH2568(Qere) hundredH3967 reeds,H7070 with the measuringH4060 reedH7070 round about.H5439 ^[17] He measuredH4058(QalPerf) the northH6828 side,H7307 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds,H7070 with the measuringH4060 reedH7070 round about.H5439 ^[18] He measuredH4058(QalPerf) the southH1864 side,H7307 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds,H7070 with the measuringH4060 reed.H7070 ^[19] He turned aboutH5437(QalPerf) to the westH3220 side,H7307 [and] measuredH4058(QalPerf) fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reedsH7070 with the measuringH4060 reed.H7070 ^[20] He measuredH4058(QalPerf) it by the fourH702 sides:H7307 it had a wallH2346 round about,H5439 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 [reeds] long,H753 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 broad,H7341 to make a separationH914(HiphInf) between the sanctuaryH6944 and the profane place.H2455
