Chapter 42
Ezek ACV 42:1  Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north. And he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
Ezek ACV 42:2  In front was the north door, the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
Ezek ACV 42:3  Opposite the twenty which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
Ezek ACV 42:4  And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit, and their doors were toward the north.
Ezek ACV 42:5  Now the upper chambers were shorter, for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
Ezek ACV 42:6  For they were in three stories, and they did not have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was narrowed more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
Ezek ACV 42:7  And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.
Ezek ACV 42:8  For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And, lo, of those on the front of the temple were a hundred cubits.
Ezek ACV 42:9  And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as going into them from the outer court.
Ezek ACV 42:10  In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
Ezek ACV 42:11  And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north. According to their length so was their breadth. And all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
Ezek ACV 42:12  And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as entering into them.
Ezek ACV 42:13  Then he said to 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 to Jehovah shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering, for the place is holy.
Ezek ACV 42:14  When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but they shall lay their garments there in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people.
Ezek ACV 42:15  Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose view is toward the east, and measured it round about.
Ezek ACV 42:16  He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Ezek ACV 42:17  He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
Ezek ACV 42:18  He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Ezek ACV 42:19  He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Ezek ACV 42:20  He measured it on 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.
