Ezekiel 42

1 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.

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

Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.

3 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.

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 were toward the north.

And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

5 And the upper rooms were narrower (for the galleries took away room from them) than the lower and middle chambers of the building.

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 they were narrower than the lowest, and than the middlemost from the ground.

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

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 rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; but before the temple it was a hundred cubits.

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

And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.

10 In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place and before the building, were rooms.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 to the gate, whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.

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.

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.

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.

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

19 He turned himself also 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 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.

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.
