Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way towards the north: and brought me into the chamber that was over against the main wing, and which was before the building towards the north,

to the front of which the length was a hundred cubits with the door on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the outer court, with gallery against gallery in three stories.

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

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

For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore it was set back from the ground more than the lowest and the middlemost.

And the wall that was outside opposite the chambers, toward the outer court on the forefront of the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.

For the length of the chambers that belonged to the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, in front of the temple was an extent of a hundred cubits.

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

Chambers were set in the thickness of the wall of the court towards the east, over against the main wing, and over against the building, with a way before them;

like the appearance of the chambers which were towards the north, as long as they, and as broad as they, with all their exits, and according to their fashions;

and as their doors, so were also the doors of the chambers that were towards the south; there was a door in the head of the way, the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one enters into them.

Then he said to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the main wing, they are holy chambers, where the priests that approach to the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.

When the priests enter there, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which belong to the people.

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

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

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

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

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

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 holy and the common.
