42:001
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way
toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the
separate place, and which was over against the building, toward the north
42:002
even to the front of the length of a hundred cubits, with
the door on the north, and the breadth of fifty cubits
42:003
over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner
court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court; with
gallery against gallery in three stories
42:004
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth
inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north
42:005
Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took
away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building
42:006
For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as
the pillars of the courts; therefore room was taken away from the lowest and the
middlemost, in comparison with the ground
42:007
And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers,
toward the outer court in front of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty
cubits
42:008
For the length of the chambers that were toward the outer
court was fifty cubits; and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits
42:009
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east
side, as one goeth into them from the outer court
42:010
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east,
before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers
42:011
with a way before them; like the appearance of the
chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they,
with all their goings out, and according to their fashions; and as their doors
42:012
so were also the doors of the chambers that were toward
the south, there was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before
the wall, toward the way from the east, as one entereth into them
42:013
Then said he unto me: 'The north chambers and the south
chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where
the priests that are near unto HaShem shall eat the most holy things; there
shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the
sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; for the place is holy
42:014
When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of
the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments
wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments,
and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.
42:015
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house,
he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east,
and measured it round about
42:016
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five
hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about
42:017
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed round about
42:018
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed
42:019
He turned about to the west side, and measured five
hundred reeds with the measuring reed
42:020
He measured it by the four sides; it had a wall round
about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a
separation between that which was holy and that which was common
