Chapter 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. |
| 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 to 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. |
