The Chambers for the Priests
1#Eze 40:17; 40:20Then he brought me out into the outer court, toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate yard and which was opposite the building on the north. 2Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits.#About 175 feet long and 88 feet wide, or 53 meters long and 27 meters wide. 3#Eze 41:15–16; 41:10Opposite the twenty cubits#About 35 feet, or 11 meters. that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. 4#Eze 46:19In front of the chambers was a passage on the inner side, ten cubits wide and one hundred cubits#About 18 feet wide and 175 feet long, or 5.3 meters wide and 53 meters long. deep; and their doors faced north. 5Now the upper chambers were shorter. For the galleries were higher than these, than the lower and the middle ones of the building. 6#Eze 41:6For they were in three stories, but had no pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the building was set back more than the lowest and the middle ones from the ground. 7And a wall that was outside was parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers; its length was fifty cubits. 8For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And the length of those before the temple was a hundred cubits. 9#Eze 46:19; 44:5From under these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one goes into them from the outer court.
10#Eze 42:1; 42:13The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate yard and opposite the building, 11with a passage in front of them; they were like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, of the same length and width. And all their exits and arrangements were according to plan. 12Corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south was a door at the head of the passage way, the passage way directly in front of the wall toward the east.
13#Lev 7:6; 10:17; Eze 40:46Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eatthe most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy. 14#Eze 44:19; Lev 8:7When the priests enter it, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall put on other garments, and shall approach those things which are for the people.”
15#Eze 43:1Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner temple, he brought me out by the gate that faces east, and measured it all around. 16#Eze 40:3He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits#Five hundred cubits equal about 875 feet, or 265 meters; and in vv. 17, 18, and 19. with the measuring reed all around. 17He measured the north side with the measuring reed round about, five hundred reeds. 18He measured the south side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds. 19He turned about to the west side and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20#Eze 45:2; 22:26; 40:5He measured it by the four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred reeds long and five hundred wide,#Five hundred cubits equal about 875 feet, or 265 meters. to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
