## The Chambers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the chamber which _was_ opposite the separate area and opposite the building toward the north.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Along the length, _which was_ one hundred cubits, _was_ the north door; the width _was_ fifty cubits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Opposite the twenty _cubits_ which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, _was_ gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Before the chambers _was_ an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one _hundred_ cubits; and their openings _were_ on the north.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Now the upper chambers _were_ smaller because the galleries took more _space_ away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
For they _were_ in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore _the upper chambers_ were set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length _was_ fifty cubits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
For the length of the chambers which _were_ in the outer court _was_ fifty cubits; and behold, _the length of those_ facing the temple _was_ one hundred cubits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Below these chambers _was_ the entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, _there were_ chambers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
The way in front of them _was_ like the appearance of the chambers which _were_ on the north, according to their length so was their width, and all their exits _were_ both according to their arrangements and openings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Then he said to me, "The north chambers _and_ the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
When the priests enter, then they shall not go out into the outer court from the sanctuary without laying there their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they shall come near to that which is for the people."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Then he had finished measuring the inner house; he brought me out by the way of the gate which faced toward the east and measured it all around.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed 500 reeds by the measuring reed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
He measured on the north side 500 reeds by the measuring reed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
On the south side he measured 500 reeds with the measuring reed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
He turned to the west side _and_ measured 500 reeds with the measuring reed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, the length 500 and the width 500, to divide between the holy and the profane.
