The
Rooms for the Priests
42:1 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.
42:2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north
door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
42:3 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.
42:4 And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits
breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward
the north.
42:5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries
were higher than these, than the lower, and than the
middlemost of the building.
42:6 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.
42:7 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.
42:8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter
court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an
hundred cubits.
42:9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the
east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
42:10 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.
42:11 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.
42:12 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.
42:13 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.
42:14 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.
42:15 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.
42:16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed,
five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with
the measuring reed round about.
42:18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with
the measuring reed.
42:19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five
hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
42:20 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. |
