Ezekiel 42 (WEBP)

[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.

Ezekiel 42:2 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters.

Ezekiel 42 (KJVS)

[1] Then 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 .
[2] Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north door , and the breadth [was] fifty cubits .
[3] Over 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].
[4] And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward , a way of one cubit ; and their doors toward the north .
[5] Now the upper chambers [were] shorter (): for the galleries were higher () than these , than the lower , and than the middlemost of the building .
[6] For 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 .
[7] And 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 .
[8] For the length of the chambers that [were] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits : and, lo, before the temple [were] an hundred cubits .
[9] And from under these chambers [was] the entry () () on the east side , as one goeth () into them from the utter court .
[10] The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east , over against the separate place , and over against the building .
[11] And 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 .
[12] And 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.
[13] Then 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 .
[14] When 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 () (8675) () on other garments , and shall approach () to [those things] which [are] for the people .
[15] Now 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 .
[16] He measured () the east side with the measuring reed , five () hundred reeds , with the measuring reed round about .
[17] He measured () the north side , five hundred reeds , with the measuring reed round about .
[18] He measured () 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 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 .

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 42 (YLT)

[1] And he bringeth me forth unto the outer court, the way northward, and he bringeth me in unto the chamber that is over-against the separate place, and that is over-against the building at the north.
[2] At the front of the length is a hundred cubits at the north opening, and the breadth fifty cubits.
[3] Over-against the twenty cubits that are to the inner court, and over-against the pavement that is to the outer court, is gallery over-against gallery, in the three storeys.
[4] And at the front of the chambers is a walk of ten cubits in breadth unto the inner part, a way of one cubit, and their openings are at the north.
[5] And the upper chambers are short, for the galleries contain more than these, than the lower, and than the middle one, of the building;
[6] for they are 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.
[7] As to the wall that is at the outside, over-against the chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the chambers, its length is fifty cubits;
[8] for the length of the chambers that are to the outer court is fifty cubits, and of those on the front of the temple a hundred cubits.
[9] And under these chambers is the entrance from the east, in one’s going into them from the outer court.
[10] In the breadth of the wall of the court eastward, unto the front of the separate place, and unto the front of the building, are chambers.
[11] And the way before them is as the appearance of the chambers that are northward, according to their length so is their breadth, and all their outlets, and according to their fashions, and according to their openings.
[12] And according to the openings of the chambers that are southward is an opening at the head of the way, the way directly in the front of the wall eastward in entering them.
[13] And he saith unto me, ‘The north chambers, the south chambers, that are at the front of the separate place, they are holy chambers, where the priests (who are 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 is holy.
[14] In 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 are holy, and have put on other garments, and have drawn near unto that which is for the people.’
[15] And he hath finished the measurements of the inner house, and hath brought me forth the way of the gate whose front is eastward, and he hath measured it all round about.
[16] He hath measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
[17] He hath measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
[18] The south side he hath measured, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
[19] He hath turned round unto the west side, he hath measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
[20] At the four sides he hath measured it, a wall is to it all round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to separate between the holy and the profane place.
