Ezekiel

ESV

Chapter 42

¹Then he led me out into the outer court, toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers that were opposite the separate yard and opposite the building on the north. ²The length of the building on the north side was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits. ³Facing the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement that belonged to the outer court, were galleries in three stories set back from each other. ⁴And before the chambers was a walk ten cubits wide, opening on the inner court, a way of one cubit; and their doors were on the north. ⁵Now the upper chambers were set back, for the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building. ⁶For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; so the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones. ⁷And a wall ran outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, for the corresponding part of the chambers, fifty cubits long. ⁸For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long. ⁹Below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court. ¹⁰In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south side, opposite the separate yard and opposite the building, were chambers ¹¹with a passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits and arrangements and doors. ¹²And below the chambers on the south side was an entrance, where one enters, by the corresponding wall on the east side. ¹³Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate yard, are the holy chambers, where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall put the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy. ¹⁴When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They shall put on other garments before they go near to the people.” ¹⁵Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faces east, and measured the temple area all around. ¹⁶He measured the east side with the measuring reed, 500 cubits, by the measuring reed all around. ¹⁷He measured the north side, 500 cubits, by the measuring reed all around. ¹⁸He measured the south side, 500 cubits, by the measuring reed. ¹⁹He turned to the west side and measured 500 cubits by the measuring reed. ²⁰He measured it on all four sides. It had a wall all around, 500 cubits long and 500 cubits wide, to make a separation between the holy and the common.
