The Chambers for the Priests
The Priests’ Rooms and the Outer Measurements
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:1 - Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:2 - Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:3 - Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:4 - In front of the chambers, toward the inside, was a walk ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:5 - Now the upper chambers were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle stories of the building.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:6 - For they were in three stories and did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper level was shortened more than the lower and middle levels from the ground up.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:7 - And a wall which was outside ran parallel to the chambers, at the front of the chambers, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:8 - The length of the chambers toward the outer court was fifty cubits, whereas that facing the temple was one hundred cubits.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:9 - At the lower chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:10 - Also there were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separating courtyard and opposite the building.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:11 - There was a walk in front of them also, and their appearance was like the chambers which were toward the north; they were as long and as wide as the others, and all their exits and entrances were according to plan.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:12 - And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, as one enters them, there was a door in front of the walk, the way directly in front of the wall toward the east.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:13 - Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering—for the place is holy.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:14 - “When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy chamber into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.”
Outer Dimensions of the Temple
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:15 - Now when he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the gateway that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:17 - He measured the north side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:19 - He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:20 - He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred wide, to separate the holy areas from the common.
