1. Then he led me north to the outer court, bringing me to some chambers on the north that lay across the free area and which were also across from the building.
|
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. Their length was a hundred cubits on the north side, and they were fifty cubits wide.
|
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. Across the twenty cubits of the inner court and the pavement of the outer court, there were three parallel rows of them on different levels.
|
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, to the inside, was a walk ten cubits broad and a wall of one cubit; but the entrances of the chambers 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 outermost chambers were the lowest, for the system of levels set them at a level lower than the closest chambers and those in between;
|
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 in three rows and had no foundations to conform with the foundations of the courts, therefore they were on a lower terrace of the ground than the closest and the middle chambers.
|
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. On the far side there was a wall running parallel to the chambers along the outer court; its length before these chambers was fifty cubits,
|
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 length of the chambers belonging to the outer court was fifty cubits, but along its entire length the wall measured one hundred cubits.
|
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. Below these chambers there was the way in from the east, so that one could enter 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. where the wall of the court began. To the south along the side of the free area and the building there were also chambers,
|
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. before which was a passage. These looked like the chambers to the north, just as long and just as wide, with the same exits and plan and entrances.
|
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. Below the chambers to the south there was an entrance at the beginning of the way which led to the back wall, by which one could enter from the east.
|
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. He said to me, "The north and south chambers which border on the free area are the sanctuary chambers; here the priests who draw near to the LORD shall eat the most sacred meals, and here they shall keep the most sacred offerings: cereal offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings; for it is a holy place.
|
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. When the priests have once entered, they shall not leave the holy place for the outer court until they have left here the clothing in which they ministered, for it is holy. They shall put on other garments, and then approach the place destined for the people."
|
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 had finished measuring the inner temple area, he brought me out by way of the gate which faces east and measured all the limits of the court.
|
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: five hundred cubits by his measuring rod. Then he turned
|
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. and measured the north side: five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. He turned
|
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. to the south and measured five hundred cubits 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 and measured five hundred cubits 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. Thus he measured it in the four directions, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide. It was surrounded by a wall, to separate the sacred from the profane.
|
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 .
