Ezekiel

1 Then he brought me forth into the ut­ter court, 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 Be­fore the length of an hun­dred cu­bits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cu­bits. 3 Over against the twen­ty cubits which were for the in­ner court, and over against the pave­ment which was for the ut­ter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. 4 And be­fore the cham­bers was a walk of ten cu­bits breadth in­ward, a way of one cu­bit; and their doors to­ward the north. 5 Now the up­per cham­bers were short­er: for the gal­leries were high­er than these, than the low­er, and than the mid­dle­most of the build­ing. 6 For they were in three stories, but had not pil­lars as the pil­lars of the courts: there­fore the building was strait­ened more than the low­est and the mid­dle­most from the ground. 7 And the wall that was with­out over against the cham­bers, to­ward the ut­ter court on the forepart of the cham­bers, the length there­of was fifty 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 from un­der these cham­bers was the en­try on the east side, as one goeth into them from the ut­ter court. 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 way be­fore them was like the ap­pear­ance of the cham­bers which were to­ward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their go­ings out were both ac­cord­ing to their fash­ions, and ac­cord­ing to their doors. 12 And ac­cord­ing to the doors of the cham­bers that were to­ward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way di­rect­ly be­fore the wall to­ward the east, as one en­tereth into them. 13 Then said he unto me, The north cham­bers and the south cham­bers, which are be­fore the sep­a­rate place, they be holy cham­bers, where 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 When the priests en­ter there­in, then shall they 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 shall ap­proach to those things which are for the peo­ple. 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 He mea­sured the east side with the mea­sur­ing reed, five hun­dred reeds, with the mea­sur­ing reed round about. 17 He mea­sured the north side, five hun­dred reeds, with the mea­sur­ing reed round about. 18 He mea­sured the south side, five hun­dred reeds, with the mea­sur­ing reed. 19 He turned about to the west side, and mea­sured five hun­dred reeds with the mea­sur­ing reed. 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.
