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 H3318 (8686) into the utter H2435 court H2691, the way toward H1870 the north H6828: and he brought H935 (8686) 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 (8803): for the galleries H862 were higher H398 (8799) than these H2007, than the lower H8481, and than the middlemost H8484 of the building H1146.
[6] For they [were] in three H8027 (8794) [stories], but had not pillars H5982 as the pillars H5982 of the courts H2691: therefore [the building] was straitened H680 (8738) 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 (8675) H935 (8688) on the east side H6921, as one goeth H935 (8800) 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 H7341 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 (8800) into them.
[13] Then said H559 (8799) 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 (8799) the most H6944 holy things H6944: there shall they lay H3240 (8686) 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 (8800) therein, then shall they not go out H3318 (8799) of the holy H6944 [place] into the utter H2435 court H2691, but there they shall lay H3240 (8686) their garments H899 wherein they minister H8334 (8762); for they [are] holy H6944; and shall put H3847 (8804) (8675) H3847 (8799) on other H312 garments H899, and shall approach H7126 (8804) to [those things] which [are] for the people H5971.
[15] Now when he had made an end H3615 (8765) of measuring H4060 the inner H6442 house H1004, he brought me forth H3318 (8689) toward H1870 the gate H8179 whose prospect H6440 [is] toward H1870 the east H6921, and measured H4058 (8804) it round about H5439.
[16] He measured H4058 (8804) the east H6921 side H7307 with the measuring H4060 reed H7070, five H2568 (8675) H520 hundred H3967 reeds H7070, with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 round about H5439.
[17] He measured H4058 (8804) the north H6828 side H7307, five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070, with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 round about H5439.
[18] He measured H4058 (8804) the south H1864 side H7307, five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070, with the measuring H4060 reed H7070.
[19] He turned about H5437 (8804) to the west H3220 side H7307, [and] measured H4058 (8804) five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed H7070.
[20] He measured H4058 (8804) 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 (8687) between the sanctuary H6944 and the profane place H2455.
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.
