Chambers
of the Temple |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 42:1
|
|
Then he brought me out into the outer court,
the way toward the north; and he brought me to the chamber which was opposite
the separate area and opposite the building toward the north. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:2
|
|
Along the length, which was a hundred cubits,
was the north door; the width was fifty cubits. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:3
|
|
Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to
the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court,
was gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:4
|
|
Before the chambers was an inner walk ten cubits
wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:5
|
|
Now the upper chambers were smaller because
the galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones
in the building. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:6
|
|
For they were in three stories and had no pillars
like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were set back from
the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:7
|
|
As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers,
toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length was fifty cubits. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:8
|
|
For the length of the chambers which were in
the outer court was fifty cubits; and behold, the length of those facing the temple
was a hundred cubits. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:9
|
|
Below these chambers was the entrance on the
east side, as one enters them from the outer court. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:10
|
|
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward
the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, there were chambers. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:11
|
|
The way in front of them was like the appearance
of the chambers which were on the north, according to their length so was their
width, and all their exits were both according to their arrangements and openings. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:12
|
|
Corresponding to the openings of the chambers
which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in
front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:13
|
|
Then he said to me, "The north chambers and
the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers
where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There
they shall lay the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering and
the guilt offering; for the place is holy. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:14
|
|
"When the priests enter, then they shall not
go out into the outer court from the sanctuary without laying there their garments
in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then
they shall approach that which is for the people." |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:15
|
|
Now when he had finished measuring the inner
house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faced toward the east and
measured it all around. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:16
|
|
He measured on the east side with the measuring
reed five hundred reeds by the measuring reed. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:17
|
|
He measured on the north side five hundred reeds
by the measuring reed. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:18
|
|
On the south side he measured five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:19
|
|
He turned to the west side and measured five
hundred reeds with the measuring reed. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 42:20
|
|
He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall
all around, the length five hundred and the width five hundred, to divide between
the holy and the profane. |
