Ezekiel 42

1 And he led me forth into the outer court, on the way to the north side; and he brought me into the [row of] chambers that was opposite the main wing, and which was opposite 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 On the front side the length [of which] was a hundred cubits, [up to] the north door, while the breadth was fifty cubits.

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

3 Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was corner-pillar before corner-pillar in the three stories.

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 walk of ten cubits in breadth toward the inner house, a way of one cubit [in width]; and their doors were toward 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 Now the upper chambers were shorter [for the corner-pillar took away part of the space from them] than the lowest and than the middle chambers 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 stories, but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones [as one ascended] 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 alongside the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was in its length fifty cubits.

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 outer court was fifty cubits; and lo, [the whole space] in front of the temple was one hundred cubits.

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 beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.

And under these rooms was an entry from the east, as one came to them from the outer court.

10 On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing, and before the building, were chambers.

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 of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side, of the same length and the same breadth; and all their means of egress, and their arrangement, and their doors were of the like manner.

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 so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side, a door being on the head of the way, of the way directly before the wall on the east side, as one entereth into them.

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 And he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing, —these are the holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, namely, the meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; 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 priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall then approach to [the court] which is 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 Now when he had finished the measurings of the inner house, he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction, and measured it all 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, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.

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

17 He measured the north aide, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.

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

18 The south side he measured, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod.

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

19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred rods with the measuring-rod.

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

20 On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about, five hundred rods in length, and in breadth five hundred, to make a separation between the holy place and the profane.

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.
