Ezekiel 42:2-20

2AlongH413 H6440 the lengthH753, which was a 1hundredH3967 2cubitsH520, was the northH6828 doorH6607; the widthH7341 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520. 3OppositeH5048 the 3twentyH6242 cubits whichH834 belonged to the innerH6442 courtyardH2691, and oppositeH5048 the 4stoneH7531 pavementH7531 whichH834 belonged to the outerH2435 courtyardH2691, was 5 6galleryH863 correspondingH413 H6440 to 7galleryH863 in threeH7992 stories. 4In frontH6440 of the 8chambersH3957 was an innerH6442 passageH4109 tenH6235 cubitsH520 wideH7341, a wayH1870 of oneH259 hundred cubitsH520; and their openingsH6607 were on the northH6828. 5Now the upperH5945 chambersH3957 were 9smallerH7114 becauseH3588 the 10 11galleriesH863 tookH398 moreH4480 space awayH398 from them thanH4480 from the lowerH8481 and middleH8484 onesH8484 in the buildingH1146. 6For they were inH8027 12threeH8027 stories and hadH369 noH369 pillarsH5982 like the pillarsH5982 of the courtyardsH2691; forH5921 thatH5921 H3651 reasonH5921 H3651 the upper chambers were 13setH680 backH680 from the groundH776 upward, moreH4480 thanH4480 the lowerH8481 and middleH8484 ones. 7As for the 14outerH2351 wallH1447 by the sideH5980 of the chambersH3957, towardH1870 the outerH2435 courtyardH2691 facingH6440 the chambersH3957, its lengthH753 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520. 8For the lengthH753 of the chambersH3957 whichH834 were in the outerH2435 courtyardH2691 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520; and beholdH2009, the length of those facingH6440 the mainH1964 roomH1964 was a 15hundredH3967 cubitsH520. 9And belowH4480 theseH428 chambersH3957 was the 16entranceH3996 on the eastH6921 sideH6921, as one entersH935 them from the outerH2435 courtyardH2691.

10In the 17thicknessH7341 of the 18wallH1447 of the courtyardH2691 towardH1870 the eastH6921, facingH413 H6440 the 19separateH1508 areaH1508 and facingH413 H6440 the buildingH1146, there were 20chambersH3957. 11And the 21wayH1870 in frontH6440 of them was like the appearanceH4758 of the chambersH3957 whichH834 were on the northH6828; according to their lengthH753, soH3651 was their widthH7341, and allH3605 their exitsH4161 were according to their buildingH4941 plansH4941 and openingsH6607. 12Corresponding to the openingsH6607 of the chambersH3957 whichH834 were towardH1870 the southH1864 was an openingH6607 at the headH7218 of the wayH1870, the wayH1870 in frontH6440 of the 22wallH1448 towardH1870 the eastH6921, as one entersH935 them.

13Then he saidH559 to me, “The northH6828 chambersH3957 and the southH1864 chambersH3957, whichH834 are oppositeH413 H6440 the 23separateH1508 areaH1508, they are the 24holyH6944 chambersH3957 whereH834 H8033 the priestsH3548 whoH834 are 25nearH7138 to the LordH3068 shall eatH398 the 26mostH6944 holyH6944 thingsH6944. ThereH8033 they shall setH5117 the mostH6944 holyH6944 thingsH6944, the grain offeringH4503, the sinH2403 offeringH2403, and the guiltH817 offeringH817; for the placeH4725 is holyH6918. 14When the priestsH3548 enterH935, they shall not goH3318 outH3318 into the outerH2435 courtyardH2691 from the sanctuaryH6944 27without 28layingH5117 their 29garmentsH899 thereH8033 in whichH834 they ministerH8334, for they are holyH6944. They shall putH3847 onH3847 otherH312 garmentsH899; then they shall approachH7126 that whichH834 is for the peopleH5971.”

15Now when he had finishedH3615 measuringH4060 the innerH6442 houseH1004, he broughtH3318 me outH3318 by wayH1870 of the 30gateH8179 whichH834 facedH6440 H1870 eastH6921, and measuredH4058 it allH5439 aroundH5439. 16He measuredH4058 on the eastH6921 sideH7307 with the measuringH4060 31rodH7070: fiveH2568 hundredH3967 rodsH7070 by the 32measuringH4060 rodH7070. 17He measuredH4058 on the northH6828 sideH7307: fiveH2568 hundredH3967 rodsH7070 by the measuringH4060 rodH7070. 18On the southH1864 sideH7307 he measuredH4058 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 rodsH7070 with the measuringH4060 rodH7070. 19He turnedH5437 to the westH3220 sideH7307 and measuredH4058 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 rodsH7070 with the measuringH4060 rodH7070. 20He measuredH4058 it 33on the fourH702 sidesH7307; it had a 34wallH2346 allH5439 aroundH5439, the 35lengthH753 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 rods and the 36widthH7341 fiveH2568 hundredH3967, to 37divideH914 betweenH996 the holyH6944 and the 38commonH2455.
