Ezekiel:42
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then he brought me forth into the utter court ,
the way toward the north :
and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite to the separate place ,
and which was before the building toward the north .
*
Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door ,
and the breadth was fifty cubits .
*
Opposite to the twenty cubits which were for the inner court ,
and opposite to the pavement which was for the utter court ,
was gallery against gallery in three stories .
*
And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits breadth inward ,
a way of one cubit ;
and their doors toward the north .
*
Now the upper chambers were shorter :
for the galleries were higher than these ,
than the lower ,
and than the middlemost of the building .
*
For they were in three stories ,
but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts :
therefore the building was straitened more than the low and the middlemost from the ground .
*
And the wall that was without opposite to the chambers ,
toward the utter court on the front part of the chambers ,
the length thereof was fifty cubits .
*
For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits :
and ,
lo ,
before the temple were an hundred cubits .
*
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side ,
as one goes into them from the utter court .
*
The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east ,
opposite to the separate place ,
and opposite to the building .
*
And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north ,
as long as they ,
and as broad as they :
and all their activities out were both according to their fashions ,
and according to their doors .
*
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way ,
even the way directly before the wall toward the east ,
as one enters into them .
*
Then said he unto me ,
The north chambers and the south chambers ,
which are before the separate place ,
they be holy chambers ,
where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things :
there shall they lay the most holy things ,
and the food 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 holy place into the utter court ,
but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister ;
for they are holy ;
and shall put on other garments ,
and shall approach to those things which are for the people .
*
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house ,
he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east ,
and measured it round about .
*
He measured the east side with the measuring reed ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed round about .
*
He measured the north side ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed round about .
*
He measured the south side ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed .
*
He turned about to the west side ,
and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed .
*
He measured it by the four sides :
it had a wall round about ,
five hundred reeds long ,
and five hundred broad ,
to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place .
