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. 2 eBefore the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and fthe breadth was fifty cubits. 3 Over 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. 4 And before bkthe chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, ta way of one cubit; and ktheir doors toward the north. 5 Now the upper bchambers were shorter: for hthe galleries ||lwere higher than these, ||mthan the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. 6 For 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. 7 And othe wall that was without over against bthe chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, fthe length thereof was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before qthe temple rwere an hundred cubits. 9 And ||from under these chambers was ||sthe entry on the east side, ||as one goeth into them from the utter court. 10 The chambers were in the thickness of othe wall of the court toward the east, over against cthe separate place, dand over against the building. 11 And 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. 12 And 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.

13 Then 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. 14 When 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.

15 Now 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. 16 He measured the east †side with fthe measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. 19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20 He 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.
