King James Version

Berean Standard Bible
Then 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.
Then the
man
led
me out
northward
into the outer
court, and he brought me to
the group
of
chambers
opposite
the temple
courtyard
and the outer
wall
on
the north side
.
Before
the length
of
an
hundred
cubits
was
the north
door ,
and
the
breadth
was fifty cubits.
The building
with
the door facing
north
was a
hundred
cubits
long
and
fifty cubits wide
.
Over
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
.
Gallery
faced
gallery
in
three
levels
opposite
the twenty cubits that
belonged
to
the inner court and opposite
the pavement that
belonged
to
the outer
court.
And
before
the chambers was a
walk
to
ten cubits breadth
inward,
a
way
of
one
cubit;
and their doors toward
the north.
In
front
of
the chambers was an
inner
walkway
ten cubits wide
and a
hundred
cubits
long.
Their doors were
on
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.
Now the upper chambers were smaller
because
the galleries took
more
space
from
the chambers
on
the
lower and middle
floors
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 lowest
and the
middlemost
from
the
ground
.
For they were arranged
in three stories, and
unlike
the courts ,
they
had
no
pillars.
So
the upper
chambers
were
set
back
further
than the lower
and middle
floors
.
And
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.
An
outer
wall in
front
of the chambers was fifty cubits long
and
ran
parallel
to
the
chambers
and
the
outer
court
.
For the length
of
the
chambers that
were
in
the utter
court was
fifty cubits :
and,
lo
, before
the temple were an
hundred cubits.
For the chambers on
the outer
court were
fifty cubits long
, while
those
facing
the temple were a
hundred cubits long
.
And from
under
these chambers was the entry
on the east side ,
as one goeth
into
them from the utter
court.
And below
these chambers was the entrance
on the east side as one enters
them from the outer
court.
The chambers
were
in
the thickness
of the wall of the court toward
the
east,
over
against
the separate
place,
and over
against
the building .
On
the south
side
along
the length
of the wall of the outer
court were
chambers
adjoining
the courtyard
and opposite
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
goings
out
were
both
according
to
their
fashions
, and according
to
their
doors
.
with
a
passageway
in
front
of
them ,
just
like the chambers that
were on
the north .
They had
the
same
length
and width
, with
similar
exits
and dimensions
.
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
entereth
into
them
.
And corresponding
to the doors of the chambers that were facing
south ,
there
was a door in front
of the walkway
that
was
parallel
to
the wall extending
eastward
.
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 meat
offering
, and
the sin offering
, and the trespass
offering;
for the place is holy.
Then the
man
said to
me, “
The north and south chambers facing
the
temple
courtyard
are the holy chambers where the priests who
approach the LORD will
eat the most holy offerings.
There they will
place
the most holy offerings—
the grain
offerings
, the sin offerings
, and the guilt
offerings—
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.
Once
the priests have
entered
the
holy
area
, they must
not go out into the outer
court until
they have
left
behind
the
garments in
which
they minister ,
for these
are holy .
They
are
to
put on other clothes
before
they
approach the
places
that
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.
Now when the
man
had finished
measuring the interior
of
the
temple
area
, he led
me out
by
the gate that
faced
east, and he
measured the
area
all
around:
He measured the east side with
the
measuring
reed,
five hundred reeds,
with
the
measuring
reed
round
about
.
With
a
measuring
rod
he measured the east side to
be
five hundred cubits
long
.
He measured the north side ,
five hundred reeds,
with
the
measuring
reed
round
about
.
He measured the north side to
be
five hundred cubits
long
.
He measured the south side ,
five hundred reeds,
with
the
measuring
reed
.
He measured the south side to
be
five hundred cubits
long
.
He turned
about
to
the west side ,
and
measured
five hundred reeds
with
the
measuring
reed
.
And
he came
around
and
measured
the west side to
be
five hundred cubits
long
.
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
.
So
he measured the area
on
all
four sides .
It had a wall all
around
, five hundred cubits
long and five hundred cubits
wide
, to separate
the holy
from
the common
.
