The Chambers for the Priests
Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
Chambers for the Priests
And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door.
before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.
over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];
In front of the chambers, toward the inside, was a walk ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.
and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
Now the upper chambers were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle stories of the building.
And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
And a wall which was outside ran parallel to the chambers, at the front of the chambers, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.
And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
The length of the chambers toward the outer court was fifty cubits, whereas that facing the temple was one hundred cubits.
for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
At the lower chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
Also there were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separating courtyard and opposite the building.
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
There was a walk in front of them also, and their appearance was like the chambers which were toward the north; they were as long and as wide as the others, and all their exits and entrances were according to plan.
and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, as one enters them, there was a door in front of the walk, the way directly in front of the wall toward the east.
And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.
Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings — the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering — for the place is holy.
And he said unto me, The north cells [and] the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering: for the place is holy.
When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy chamber into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.”
When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which is for the people.
Outer Measurements
And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] round about.
And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] 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 rods by the measuring rod all around.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
He measured the south side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
