1. Then he led me out into the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chambers opposite the separate area and opposite the building on the north.
2. Along the front, which was a hundred cubits long, was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits.
3. Opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court, gallery faced gallery in three stories.
4. In front of the chambers was a walkway ten cubits wide on the inner side, a way of one cubit, and their doors were on the north.
5. The upper chambers were narrower, because the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.
6. For they were in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts. So the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and middle ones.
7. There was an outer wall parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, in front of the chambers. It was fifty cubits long.
8. For the chambers along the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the main hall were a hundred cubits long.
9. Below these chambers was the entrance on the east side, for one entering them from the outer court.
10. In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, there were chambers,
11. with a passage in front of them. They looked like the chambers on the north. They had the same length and the same width, and all their exits, their arrangements, and their doors were alike.
12. Like the doors of the chambers on the south, there was a door at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east, for those entering them.
13. Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers that face the separate area are the holy chambers where the priests who come near to Yahweh are to eat the most holy offerings. There they are to put the most holy offerings, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, for the place is holy.
14. When the priests enter, they are not to go out of the holy place into the outer court until they have laid there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other garments before they approach the area that is for the people.”
15. When he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out by the gate that faced east and measured the area all around.
16. He measured the east side with the measuring rod: five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.
17. He measured the north side: five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.
18. He measured the south side: five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
19. He turned to the west side and measured it: five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
20. He measured it on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred long and five hundred wide, to separate the holy from the common.
