Ezekiel 42

Then he brought me forth into ^athe utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into ^bthe chamber that was over against ^cthe separate place, and ^dwhich was before the building toward the north. ^2eBefore the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and ^fthe breadth was fifty cubits. ³Over against ^gthe twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against ^bthe pavement which was for the utter court, was ^hgallery against gallery in ⁱthree stories. ⁴And before ^bkthe chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, ^ta way of one cubit; and ^ktheir doors toward the north. ⁵Now the upper ^bchambers were shorter: for ^hthe galleries ^lwere higher than these, ^mthan the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. ⁶For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building ⁿwas straitened ^lmmore than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. ⁷And ^othe wall that was without over against ^bthe chambers, towards the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, ^fthe length thereof was fifty cubits. ⁸For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and lo, before ^qthe temple ^rwere an hundred cubits. ⁹And from under these chambers was ^sthe entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court. ¹⁰The chambers were in the thickness of ^othe wall of the court toward the east, over against ^cthe separate place, ^dand over against the building. ¹¹And ^tthe way before them was like the appearance of the chambers ^twhich were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both ^uaccording to their fashions, and ^kaccording to their doors. ¹²And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door ^vin the head of the way, even the way directly before ^othe wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.

¹³Then said he unto me, ^wThe north chambers and the south chambers, which are before ^cthe separate place, they be holy chambers, where ^xthe priests that approach unto the Lord ^yshall eat ^zthe most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and ^zabthe meat offering, and ^zacthe sin offering, and ^zacthe trespass offering; for the place is holy. ¹⁴When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but ^dthere they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and ^dshall put on other garments, and shall approach to ^dthose things which are for the people.

¹⁵Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward ^ethe gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. ¹⁶He measured the east side with ^fthe measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. ¹⁷He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. ¹⁸He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. ¹⁹He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. ²⁰He measured it by the four sides: ^git had a wall round about, ^hfive hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, ⁱto make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
