Ezekiel 42

1 Then brought hee me into the vtter court by the way towarde the North, and he brought me into the chamber that was ouer against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the North.

And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.

2 Before ye length of an hundreth cubites, was the North doore, and it was fiftie cubites broad.

On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,

3 Ouer against the twentie cubites which were for the inner court, and ouer against the pauement, which was for the vtter court, was chamber against chamber in three rowes.

Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.

4 And before the chambers was a gallery of ten cubites wide, and within was a way of one cubite, and their doores towarde the North.

And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.

5 Nowe the chambers aboue were narower: for those chambers seemed to eate vp these, to wit, the lower, and those that were in the middes of the building.

And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms.

6 For they were in three rowes, but had not pillars as the pillars of the court: therefore there was a difference from them beneath and from the middlemost, euen from the ground.

For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

7 And the wall that was without ouer against the chambers, toward the vtter court on the forefront of the chambers, was fiftie cubites long.

And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.

8 For the length of the chambers that were in the vtter court, was fiftie cubites: and loe, before the Temple were an hundreth cubites.

For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits.

9 And vnder these chambers was the entrie, on the East side, as one goeth into them from the outward court.

And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall.

10 The chambers were in the thicknesse of the wall of the court towarde the East, ouer against the separate place, and ouer against the building.

(And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.

11 And the way before them was after ye maner of the chambers, which were toward ye North, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their entries were like, both according to their facions, and according to their doores.

And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

12 And according to ye doores of ye chambers that were towarde the South, was a doore in the corner of the way, euen the way directly before the wall toward the East, as one entreth.

And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

13 The said he vnto me, The North chambers and ye South chambers which are before ye separate place, they be holy chambers, wherein the Priests that approch vnto ye Lord, shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meate offering, and the sinne offering, and the trespasse offring: for the place is holy.

And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

14 When the Priestes enter therein, they shall not go out of the holy place into the vtter court, but there they shall lay their garmentes wherein they minister: for they are holy, and shall put on other garmentes, and so shall approch to those things, which are for the people.

When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.

15 Nowe when he had made an ende of measuring the inner house, he brought mee forth toward the gate whose prospect is towarde the East, and measured it round about.

And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

16 He measured the East side with the measuring rod, fiue hundreth reedes, euen with the measuring reede round about.

He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

17 He measured also the Northside, fiue hundreth reedes, euen with the measuring reede rounde about.

And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

18 And he measured the South side fiue hundreth reedes with the measuring reede.

And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

19 He turned about also to the West side, and measured fiue hundreth reedes with the measuring reede.

And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

20 He measured it by the foure sides: it had a wall round about, fiue hundreth reedes long, and fiue hundreth broade to make a separation betweene the Sanctuarie, and the prophane place.

He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.
