Ezekiel
Chapter 42 · King James Version
1Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that
was over against the separate place, and which
was before the building toward the north.
2Before the length of an hundred cubits
was the north door, and the breadth
was fifty cubits.
3Over against the twenty
cubits which
were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which
was for the utter court,
was gallery against gallery in three
stories.
4And before the chambers
was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
5Now the upper chambers
were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than 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 was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7And the wall that
was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof
was fifty cubits.
8For the length of the chambers that
were in the utter court
was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple
were an hundred cubits.
9And from under these chambers
was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
10The chambers
were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
11And 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 goings out
were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12And 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 entereth into them.
13Then 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 meat offering, and the sin offering, and the 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 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.
15Now 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.
16He measured the east side with the 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: 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.
