* And he led me forth into the outer court , on the way to the north side ; and he brought me into the chambers that was opposite the main wing , and which was opposite the building toward the north ; * On the front side the length was a hundred cubits , the north door , while the breadth was fifty cubits . * Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court , and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court , was corner –pillar before corner –pillar in the three stories . * And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits in breadth toward the inner house , a way of one cubit ; and their doors were toward the north . * Now the upper chambers were shorter than the lowest and than the middle chambers of the building . * For they were in three stories , but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts : therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones from the ground . * And the wall that was without alongside the chambers , toward the outer court in front of the chambers , was in its length fifty cubits . * For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits ; and lo , in front of the temple was one hundred cubits . * And beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side , as one goeth into them from the outer court . * On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing , and before the building , were chambers . * And the way before them was of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side , of the same length and the same breadth ; and all their means of egress , and their arrangement , and their doors were of the like manner . * And so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side , a door being on the head of the way , of the way directly before the wall on the east side , as one entereth into them . * And he said unto me , The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing ,––these are the holy chambers , where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things : there shall they lay the most holy things , namely , the meat –offering , and the sin –offering , and the trespass –offering ; for the place is holy . * When the priests enter therein , then shall they not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court ; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered ; for they are holy : and they shall put on other garments , and shall then approach to which is for the people . * Now when he had finished the measurings of the inner house , he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction , and measured it all round about . * He measured the east side with the measuring –rod , five hundred rods , with the measuring –rod round about . * He measured the north aide , five hundred rods , with the measuring –rod round about . * The south side he measured , five hundred rods , with the measuring –rod . * He turned about to the west side , and measured five hundred rods with the measuring –rod . * On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about , five hundred rods in length , and in breadth five hundred , to make a separation between the holy place and the profane .
