Eze 42:1 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.
Eze 42:2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and
the breadth was fifty cubits.
Eze 42:3 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.
Eze 42:4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward,
a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
Eze 42:5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were
higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
building.
Eze 42:6 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.
Eze 42:7 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.
Eze 42:8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was
fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
Eze 42:9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as
one goeth into them from the utter court.
Eze 42:10 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.
Eze 42:11 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.
Eze 42:12 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.
Eze 42:13 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.
Eze 42:14 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.
Eze 42:15 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.
Eze 42:16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred
reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Eze 42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed round about.
Eze 42:18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed.
Eze 42:19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred
reeds with the measuring reed.
Eze 42:20 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. |
