1Then he brought me foorth into the vtter court, the way toward the North, and hee brought mee into the chamber, that was ouer against the separate place, & which was before the building toward the North.Select Ezekiel 42:1

2Before the length of an hundreth cubites was the North doore, and the breadth was fiftie cubits.Select Ezekiel 42:2

3Ouer against the twentie cubites which were for the inner court, and ouer against the pauement which was for the vtter court, was gallerie against gallery in three stories.Select Ezekiel 42:3

4And before the chambers was a walke of ten cubites breadth inward, a way of one cubite, and their doores toward the North.Select Ezekiel 42:4

5Now the vpper-chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher then these, then the lower, and then the middlemost of the building.Select Ezekiel 42:5

6For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitned more then the lowest, and the middlemost from the ground.Select Ezekiel 42:6

7And the wall that was without ouer against the chambers towards the vtter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fiftie cubites.Select Ezekiel 42:7

8For the length of the chambers that were in the vtter court was fiftie cubites: and loe, before the Temple were an hundreth cubites.Select Ezekiel 42:8

9And from vnder these chambers was the entrie on the East side, as one goeth into them from the vtter court.Select Ezekiel 42:9

10The chambers were in the thickenes of the wall of the court toward the East, ouer against the separate place, and ouer against the building.Select Ezekiel 42:10

11And 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 doores.Select Ezekiel 42:11

12And according to the doores of the chambers that were toward the South, was a doore in the head of the way, euen the way directly before ye wall toward the East, as one entreth into them.Select Ezekiel 42:12

13Then sayd hee vnto mee, The North chambers, and the South chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where þe Priests that approach vnto the Lord shall eate the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, & the sinne offering, and the trespasse offring, for the place is holy.Select Ezekiel 42:13

14When the Priests enter therein, then shall they not goe out of the holy place into the vtter court, but there they shall lay their garments, wherein they minister: for they are holy, and shall put on other garments, and shall approch to those things which are for the people.Select Ezekiel 42:14

15Now when hee had made an end of measuring the inner house, hee brought mee foorth toward the gate, whose prospect is toward the East, and measured it round about.Select Ezekiel 42:15

16He measured the East side with the measuring reede, fiue hundreth reedes, with the measuring reed round about.Select Ezekiel 42:16

17Hee measured the North side fiue hundreth reedes, with a measuring reed round about.Select Ezekiel 42:17

18Hee measured the South side fiue hundreth reedes, with the measuring reede.Select Ezekiel 42:18

19Hee turned about to the West side, and measured fiue hundreth reedes with the measuring reed.Select Ezekiel 42:19

20He measured it by the foure sides: it had a wall round about fiue hundreth reedes long, and fiue hundreth broad, to make a separation betweene the Sanctuary and the prophane place.Select Ezekiel 42:20
