1Then he brought me out to the outer court, the way toward the north gate, and he brought me to the chambers that were opposite the separating wall and opposite the building on the north side.2It was one hundred cubits long on the front, the entrance of the north, and fifty cubits wide.3opposite the twenty cubits to the inner courtyard and opposite the pavement that belongs to the outer courtyard, gallery to gallery in three stories.4And before the chambers was a walkway ten cubits wide to the inner way: one cubit wide, and their doors were to the north.5Now the upper chambers were narrower, because the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers in the building.6For they are three-storied, and they have no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore they are narrower than the lower ones and than the middle ones from the ground.7And a wall that was outside, opposite the chambers, a way of the outer court to the face of the chambers—its length fifty cubits.8For the length of the chambers that are to the outer court is fifty cubits, and behold, the front of the temple is one hundred cubits.9And from below these chambers was the entrance for the one coming from the east as he entered from the outer court.10In the breadth of the wall of the court, by way of the east, toward the face of the partition and toward the face of the building, there were chambers.11And there was a way before them like the appearance of the chambers, which is a way of the north; like their length, so their width, and all their exits and their entrances were like their doors.12And like the entrances of the chambers that were by way of the south, an entrance was at the head of the way, the way before the face of the partition of the garden, the way of the east in their coming.13He said to me, "The north chambers, the south chambers which are in front of the separated area—these are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy things. There they will deposit the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, for the place is holy."14When the priests enter, they shall not go out from the holy place to the outer courtyard; they shall put off there their garments in which they serve, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments and approach that which is for the people.15And he finished the measures of the house, the inner one, and he brought me out the way of the gate which faces the way of the east, and they measured it all around.16He measured the east side with the measuring rod: five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.17He measured the north side at five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.18He measured the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring rod.19He went around to the direction of the sea; he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.20They measured a wall for it all around to the four winds. All around: length five hundred and width five hundred, to distinguish between the holy and the profane.
