* The man led me out to the north to the outer courtyard . He brought me to the side rooms opposite both the open area and the northern building . * The building that faced north was one hundred and seventy-five feet long and eighty-seven and one half feet wide . * Opposite the inner courtyard was an area that was thirty-five feet wide , and opposite the pavement of the outer courtyard were corridors facing corridors on all three stories . * In front of the side rooms was a walkway . It was seventeen and one half feet wide and one hundred and seventy-five feet long . The doors of these side rooms faced north . * The side rooms on the third story were narrower than those on the first or second stories of the building because the corridors took space away from them . * The rooms were in three stories . They did not have pillars like the pillars in the courtyards . That is why the rooms on the third story were set farther back than those on the first and second stories . * There was a wall that ran parallel to the side rooms and the outer courtyard . It ran alongside the side rooms for eighty-seven and one half feet . * The row of rooms in the outer courtyard was eighty-seven and one half feet long . The rooms that faced the temple were one hundred and seventy-five feet long . * These lower side rooms had an entrance on the east side . A person was able to enter the outer courtyard through them . * There were side rooms parallel to the wall of the courtyard on the south side . They faced the open area and the building . * There was a walkway in front of them . It was like the one that was in front of the side rooms on the north side . These side rooms were as long and as wide as the northern rooms . They had similar exits , dimensions , and doors . * The doors to the south rooms were the same as the doors to the north rooms . There was a doorway at the other end of the walkway that was parallel to the corresponding wall that ran eastward . People entered through that doorway . * The man said : »The northern and southern side rooms that face the open area are holy rooms . These rooms are where the priests who come near Jehovah eat the holiest offerings . Because these rooms are holy , the priests keep the holiest offerings there : the grain offerings , the offerings for sin , and the guilt offerings . * Once the priests enter the Holy Place , they must not go out of the Holy Place into the outer courtyard until they leave behind the clothes that they wore as they served . These clothes are holy . The priests must put on other clothes . Then they can go into the area that is for the people . * When the man had finished measuring the inner part of the temple area , he led me out through the east gate . Then he measured all the way around the outer area . * He measured the east side with a measuring stick . It was eight hundred and seventy-five feet long according to the measuring stick . * He measured the north side . It was eight hundred and seventy-five feet long according to the measuring stick . * He measured the south side . It was eight hundred and seventy-five feet long according to the measuring stick . * He came around to the west side and measured it . It was eight hundred and seventy-five feet long according to the measuring stick . * He measured all four sides . There was a wall all around it . The wall was eight hundred and seventy-five feet long and eight hundred and seventy-five feet wide . It separated what was holy from what was unholy .
