1. Then the man led me out by way of the north gate into the outer court. He brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple yard and opposite the building to the north.
|
1. Then he brought me forth H3318 into H413 the utter H2435 court H2691 , the way H1870 toward H1870 the north H6828 : and he brought H935 me into H413 the chamber H3957 that H834 was over against H5048 the separate place H1508 , and which H834 was before H5048 the building H1146 toward H413 the north H6828 .
|
|
2. Along the length of the chambers, which was 175 feet, there was an entrance on the north; the width was 87 and a half feet.
|
2. Before H413 H6440 the length H753 of a hundred H3967 cubits H520 was the north H6828 door H6607 , and the breadth H7341 was fifty H2572 cubits H520 .
|
|
3. Opposite the 35 foot space belonging to the inner court and opposite the paved surface belonging to the outer court, the structure rose gallery by gallery in three tiers.
|
3. Over against H5048 the twenty H6242 cubits which H834 were for the inner H6442 court H2691 , and , over against H5048 the pavement H7531 which H834 was for the utter H2435 court H2691 , was gallery H862 against H413 H6440 gallery H862 in three H7992 stories .
|
|
4. In front of the chambers was a walkway toward the inside, 17 and a half feet wide and 175 feet long, and their entrances were on the north.
|
4. And before H6440 the chambers H3957 was a walk H4109 of ten H6235 cubits H520 breadth H7341 inward H6442 , a way H1870 of one H259 cubit H520 ; and their doors H6607 toward the north H6828 .
|
|
5. The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.
|
5. Now the upper H5945 chambers H3957 were shorter H7114 : for H3588 the galleries H862 were higher H3201 than these H4480 H2007 , than the lower H4480 H8481 , and than the middlemost H4480 H8484 of the building H1146 .
|
|
6. For they were arranged in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and middle stories.
|
6. For H3588 they H2007 were in three H8027 stories , but had not H369 pillars H5982 as the pillars H5982 of the courts H2691 : therefore H5921 H3651 the building was straitened H680 more than the lowest H4480 H8481 and the middlemost H8484 from the ground H4480 H776 .
|
|
7. A wall on the outside ran in front of the chambers, parallel to them, toward the outer court; it was 87 and a half feet long.
|
7. And the wall H1447 that H834 was without H2351 over against H5980 the chambers H3957 , toward H1870 the utter H2435 court H2691 on H413 the forepart H6440 of the chambers H3957 , the length H753 thereof was fifty H2572 cubits H520 .
|
|
8. For the chambers on the outer court were 87 and a half feet long, while those facing the great hall were 175 feet long.
|
8. For H3588 the length H753 of the chambers H3957 that H834 were in the utter H2435 court H2691 was fifty H2572 cubits H520 : and, lo H2009 , before H5921 H6440 the temple H1964 were a hundred H3967 cubits H520 .
|
|
9. At the base of these chambers there was an entryway on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
|
9. And from under H4480 H8478 these H428 chambers H3957 was the entry H3996 on the east side H4480 H6921 , as one goeth H935 into them H2007 from the utter court H2691 H2435 .
|
|
10. In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the temple yard and the western building,
|
10. The chambers H3957 were in the thickness H7341 of the wall H1444 of the court H2691 toward H1870 the east H6921 , over against H413 H6440 the separate place H1508 , and over against H413 H6440 the building H1146 .
|
|
11. with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north. Their length and width, as well as all their exits, measurements, and entrances, were identical.
|
11. And the way H1870 before H6440 them was like the appearance H4758 of the chambers H3957 which H834 were toward H1870 the north H6828 , as long H753 as they, and as H3651 broad H7341 as they : and all H3605 their goings out H4161 were both according to their fashions H4941 , and according to their doors H6607 .
|
|
12. The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.
|
12. And according to the doors H6607 of the chambers H3957 that H834 were toward H1870 the south H1864 was a door H6607 in the head H7218 of the way H1870 , even the way H1870 directly H1903 before H6440 the wall H1448 toward H1870 the east H6921 , as one entereth H935 into them.
|
|
13. Then the man said to me, "The northern and southern chambers that face the temple yard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will deposit the most holy offerings-- the grain offerings, sin offerings, and restitution offerings-- for the place is holy.
|
13. Then said H559 he unto H413 me , The north H6828 chambers H3957 and the south H1864 chambers H3957 , which H834 are before H413 H6440 the separate place H1508 , they H2007 be holy H6944 chambers H3957 , where H834 H8033 the priests H3548 that H834 approach H7138 unto the LORD H3068 shall eat H398 the most holy things H6944 H6944 : there H8033 shall they lay H5117 the most holy things H6944 H6944 , and the meat offering H4503 , and the sin offering H2403 , and the trespass offering H817 ; for H3588 the place H4725 is holy H6918 .
|
|
14. Once the priests have entered, they must not go out from the holy area to the outer court until they have removed the clothes they minister in, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the public area."
|
14. When the priests H3548 enter H935 therein , then shall they not H3808 go out H3318 of the holy H4480 H6944 place into H413 the utter H2435 court H2691 , but there H8033 they shall lay H5117 their garments H899 wherein H834 they minister H8334 ; for H3588 they H2007 are holy H6944 ; and shall put on H3847 other H312 garments H899 , and shall approach H7126 to H413 those things which H834 are for the people H5971 .

15. When he finished measuring inside the temple complex, he led me out by way of the gate that faced east and measured all around the complex.
|
15. Now when he had made an end H3615 of H853 measuring H4060 the inner H6442 house H1004 , he brought me forth H3318 toward H1870 the gate H8179 whose H834 prospect H6440 is toward H1870 the east H6921 , and measured H4058 it round about H5439 H5439 .
|
|
16. He measured the east side with a measuring rod; it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
|
16. He measured H4058 the east H6921 side H7307 with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 , five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 , with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 round about H5439 .
|
|
17. He measured the north side; it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
|
17. He measured H4058 the north H6828 side H7307 , five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 , with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 round about H5439 .
|
|
18. He measured the south side; it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
|
18. He measured H4058 H853 the south H1864 side H7307 , five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 , with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 .
|
|
19. Then he turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring rod.
|
19. He turned about H5437 to H413 the west H3220 side H7307 , and measured H4058 five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed H7070 .
|
|
20. He measured the temple complex on all four sides. It had a wall all around it, 875 feet long and 875 feet wide, to separate the holy from the common.
|
20. He measured H4058 it by the four H702 sides H7307 : it had a wall H2346 round about H5439 H5439 , five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds long H753 , and five H2568 hundred H3967 broad H7341 , to make a separation H914 between H996 the sanctuary H6944 and the profane place H2455 .
