1He brought me out to the outer court by the northern way and brought me to the chamber that faced the cutting and that faced the northern building.2The length in front of the northern entrance was a hundred cubits, and the width was fifty cubits.3It stood before the twenty that belonged to the inner court and before the pavement that belonged to the outer court, a gallery toward the face of a gallery in the third level.4Before the chambers was a passage ten cubits wide toward the inner court, a one-cubit way, and their entrances were toward the north.5The upper chambers were shortened, for galleries ate from them, from the lower and from the middle of the building.6For they were threefold, and there were no pillars for them like the pillars of the courts; therefore space was reserved from the lower and from the middle from the ground.7The wall that was outside, close to the chambers along the outer court in front of the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.8For the length of the chambers that belonged to the outer court was fifty cubits, and behold, before the face of the temple was a hundred cubits.9And from under the chambers and from under these chambers was the entrance that came from the east when one came to them from the outer court.10In the width of the court wall along the eastern way, facing the open area and facing the building, were chambers.11A way lay before them like the appearance of the northern chambers; as their length, so their width, and all their exits and their regulations and their entrances were like them.12And like the entrances of the chambers that were along the southern way, an entrance at the head of the way before the suitable wall on the eastern approach when they entered.13He said to me, 'The northern chambers and the southern chambers that face the cutting, they are the holy chambers where the priests who draw near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things; there they shall lay the most holy things, the offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, because the place is holy.'14When the priests enter, they shall not go out from the holy area into the outer court, and there they shall lay their garments in which they minister, for they are holy; they shall clothe themselves with other garments and approach what belongs to the people.15When he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the gate whose face was toward the east and measured all around.16He measured the eastern side with the measuring rod: five hundred cubits by the measuring rod all around.17He measured the northern side: five hundred cubits by the measuring rod all around.18He measured the southern side: five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.19He turned to the western side and measured five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.20On the four sides he measured it; it had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
