Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Ezekiel:
Chapter 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.
2. Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the
breadth was fifty cubits.
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.
4. And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a
way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
5. Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher
than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
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.
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.
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.
9. And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one
goeth into them from the utter court.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16. He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred
reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17. He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring
reed round about.
18. He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring
reed.
19. He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed.
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.
