1 Depois disto fez-me sair para fora, ao átrio exterior, para o lado do caminho do norte; e me levou às câmaras que estavam defronte do lugar separado, e que estavam defronte do edifício, do lado norte.

2 Do comprimento de cem côvados, era a entrada do norte; e a largura era de cinqüenta côvados.

3 Em frente dos vinte côvados, que tinha o átrio interior, e em frente do pavimento que tinha o átrio exterior, havia galeria contra galeria em três andares.

4 E diante das câmaras havia um passeio de dez côvados de largo, do lado de dentro, e um caminho de um côvado, e as suas entradas eram para o lado do norte.

5 E as câmaras superiores eram mais estreitas; porque as galerias tomavam aqui mais espaço do que as de baixo e as do meio do edifício.

6 Porque elas eram de três andares, e não tinham colunas como as colunas dos átrios; por isso desde o chão se iam estreitando, mais do que as de baixo e as do meio.

7 E o muro que estava de fora, defronte das câmaras, no caminho do átrio exterior, diante das câmaras, tinha cinqüenta côvados de comprimento.

8 Pois o comprimento das câmaras, que estavam no átrio exterior, era de cinqüenta côvados; e eis que defronte do templo havia cem côvados.

9 Por baixo destas câmaras estava a entrada do lado do oriente, quando se entra nelas pelo átrio exterior.

10 Na largura do muro do átrio para o lado do oriente, diante do lugar separado, e diante do edifício, havia também câmaras.

11 E o caminho que havia diante delas era da aparência das câmaras, que davam para o norte; conforme o seu comprimento, assim era a sua largura; e todas as suas saídas eram também conforme os seus padrões, e conforme as suas entradas.

12 E conforme as portas das câmaras, que olhavam para o caminho do sul, havia também uma entrada no topo do caminho, isto é, do caminho em frente do muro direito, para o caminho do oriente, quando se entra por elas.

13 Então me disse: As câmaras do norte, e as câmaras do sul, que estão diante do lugar separado, elas são câmaras santas, em que os sacerdotes, que se chegam ao Senhor, comerão as coisas mais santas; ali porão as coisas mais santas, e a oferta de manjar, a oferta pelo pecado, e a oferta pela culpa; porque o lugar é santo.

14 Quando os sacerdotes entrarem, não sairão do santuário para o átrio exterior, mas porão ali as suas vestiduras com que ministraram, porque elas são santas; e vestir-se-ão de outras vestiduras, e assim se aproximarão do lugar pertencente ao povo.

15 E, acabando ele de medir a casa interior, ele me fez sair pelo caminho da porta, cuja face olha para o caminho do oriente; e a mediu em redor.

16 Mediu o lado oriental com a cana de medir, quinhentas canas, com a cana de medir, ao redor.

17 Mediu o lado do norte, com a cana de medir, quinhentas canas ao redor.

18 Mediu também o lado do sul, com a cana de medir, quinhentas canas.

19 Deu uma volta para o lado do ocidente, e mediu, com a cana de medir, quinhentas canas.

20 Mediu pelos quatro lados; e havia um muro em redor, de quinhentas canas de comprimento, e quinhentas de largura, para fazer separação entre o santo e o profano.

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north. 2 Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 3 Over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story. 4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits’ breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. 5 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building. 6 For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 7 And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits. 9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.

10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers. 11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their egresses 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 at 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 are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy. 14 When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. 16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. 18 He measured on 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 on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
