| [1]And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition, |
[1]Then brought he me into the utter court by 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]a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty, |
[2]Before the length of an hundred cubits, was the north door, and it was fifty cubits broad. |
| [3]ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, with triple porticos fronting one another. |
[3]Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement, which was for the utter court, was chamber against chamber in three rows. |
| [4]And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length reaching to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward. |
[4]And before the chambers was a gallery of ten cubits wide, and within was a way of one cubit, and their doors toward the north. |
| [5]And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, even from the range of columns below, and there was a space between; so were there a peristyle and a space between, and so were there two porticos. |
[5]Now the chambers above were narrower: for those chambers seemed to eat up these, to wit, the lower, and those that were in the midst of the building. |
| [6]For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground. |
[6]For they were in three rows, but had not pillars as the pillars of the court: therefore there was a difference from them beneath and from the middlemost, even from the ground. |
| [7]And there was light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length of them was fifty cubits. |
[7]And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forefront of the chambers, was fifty cubits long. |
| [8]For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred 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 there were doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court, |
[9]And under these chambers was the entry, on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outward court. |
| [10]by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and so were the chambers. |
[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 walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors. |
[11]And the way before them was after the manner of the chambers, which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their entries were like, both according to their fashions, and according to their doors. |
| [12]So were the measures of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them. |
[12]And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south, was a door in the corner of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth. |
| [13]And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy. |
[13]Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, wherein 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]None shall go in thither except the priests, and they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw nigh to me may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, with defilement, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people. |
[14]When the priests enter therein, they shall 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 so shall approach to those things, which are for the people. |
| [15]So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order. |
[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]And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred cubits with the measuring reed. |
[16]He measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred reeds, even with the measuring reed round about. |
| [17]And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north side five hundred cubits with the measuring reed. |
[17]He measured also the north side, five hundred reeds, even with the measuring reed round about. |
| [18]And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred cubits with the measuring reed. |
[18]And he measured the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. |
| [19]And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed. |
[19]He turned about also to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. |
| [20]The four sides he measured by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, a space of five hundred cubits eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that belonged to the design of the house. |
[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. |
