| 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 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. |
