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.

Then he led me forth to the outer court, in the direction toward the north, and he brought me to the rooms which were before the separate place, and before the building toward the north.

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

The length was a hundred cubits before the gate toward the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits;

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.

over against the twenty cubits in the inner court, and over against the pavement in the outer court, was gallery before gallery, in three rows.

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 before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the 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 upper rooms were narrower (for the galleries took away room from them) than the lower and middle chambers of the building.

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 in three stories; but had not pillars, as the pillars of the courts; therefore they were narrower than the lowest, and than the middlemost from the ground.

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 as to the wall that was without, over against the chambers, toward the outer court, before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

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 length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; but before the temple it was 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 an entry from the east, as one came to them from the outer court.

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.

In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place and before the building, 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 way before them similar to that before the rooms toward the north. Both their length and their breadth were the same, and all their goings out and their fashions and their doors were the same.

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 so also were the doors of the rooms toward the south; there was a door at the head of the way, before the well-built wall in the way toward the east, as one entered into them.

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.

Then he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, are holy rooms, where the priests, when they come near to Jehovah, eat the most holy things. There shall they lay the most holy things, both the flour-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering; 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 enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but shall leave there the garments in which they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and approach to the place which belongeth to 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He turned himself also to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.

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.

On all the four sides measured he the wall round about five hundred reeds in length, and five hundred in breadth, to make a separation between the holy and the unholy place.
