Ezekiel 42

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north. And he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,

2 In front was the north door, the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,

3 Opposite the twenty which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.

over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];

4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit, and their doors were toward the north.

and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.

5 Now the upper chambers were shorter, for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.

And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.

6 For they were in three stories, and they did not have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was narrowed more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.

7 And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.

And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:

8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And, lo, of those on the front of the temple were a hundred cubits.

for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.

9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as going into them from the outer court.

And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth 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 chambers.

In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;

11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north. According to their length so was their breadth. And all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and 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 at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as entering into them.

And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.

13 Then he said to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near to Jehovah shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering, for the place is holy.

And he said unto me, The north cells [and] the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and 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, but they shall lay their garments there in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people.

When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which is for the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose view is toward the east, and measured it round about.

And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] round about.

16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.

17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.

18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

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.

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 round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
