International Standard Version

New International Version

1Then he brought me to the outer, north-facing courtyard into the chamber that stood opposite the structure that was facing north.

1Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side.

2It stood 100 cubits long and 50 cubits wide, with a door in the middle.

2The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

3Opposite the 20 cubits wide inner court, and opposite the paved area that comprised the outer court, there were three stories of galleries that faced each other.

3Both in the section twenty cubits from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels.

4In front of the chambers there was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and 100 cubits wide, the openings to which were on the north.

4In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

5The upper chambers were narrower, since the galleries required more space than did the lower and middle portions of the building.

5Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building.

6The three part structure had no columns, unlike the courts, which is why the upper chambers were offset from the ground upward, more so than the lower and middle chambers.

6The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors.

7The outer wall by the side of the chambers toward the outer court and facing the chambers was 50 cubits long.

7There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.

8While the chambers in the outer court were 50 cubits in length, the chambers facing the Temple were 100 cubits long.

8While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long.

9Below these chambers, as one might enter from the outer court, was the east side entrance.

9The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

10There were chambers built into the thick part of the wall of the court facing the east; that is, facing the separate area toward the front of the building,

10On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms

11with a passageway in front of them, similar in appearance to the chambers that were on the north, proportional to their length and width, with all of their exits according to their arrangements and doorways.

11with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north

12Corresponding to the chamber doorways facing the south was an opening at the beginning of the passage; that is, the passage in front of the corresponding part of the wall facing east as one might enter.

12were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.

13Then he told me, "The north and south chamber, which are opposite the courtyard, are consecrated areas where the priests who approach the LORD will eat consecrated offerings and lay the consecrated grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings, because the area is holy.

13Then he said to me, "The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests' rooms, where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings--the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings--for the place is holy.

14When the priest enters, they will not enter the outer court from the sanctuary without having removed their garments worn during their time of ministry, because they are holy. They will put on different clothes, and then they will approach the area reserved for the people."

14Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people."

15After he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the east-facing gate and measured it all around.

15When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:

16He measured the east side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

16He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.

17the north side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

17He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.

18the south side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

18He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.

19and the west side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick.

19Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.

20He measured a wall that encompassed all four sides, 500 hundred long and 500 wide, dividing between the sacred and common areas.

20So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
