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.

1 Apoi m'a scos şi m'a dus în curtea deafară din spre miază noapte, şi m'a dus în odăile din faţa locului gol şi din faţa clădirii la miază noapte.

2 Faţa unde se afla uşa de miază noapte, avea o lungime de o sută de coţi; şi lăţimea era de cincizeci de coţi.

3 În dreptul celor douăzeci de coţi ai curţii dinlăuntru, şi în dreptul caldarîmului curţii de afară, se aflau pridvoare lîngă pridvoare în catul al treilea.

4 Pe dinaintea odăilor, era un loc de trecere lat de zece coţi, şi un drum de un cot; uşile lor erau spre miază noapte.

5 Odăile de sus erau mai strîmte decît cele de jos şi decît cele dela mijlocul clădirii, pentrucă le mai luau din loc şi pridvoarele.

6 Erau trei caturi, dar n'aveau stîlpi ca stîlpii curţilor; de aceea, începînd de jos, odăile de sus erau mai strîmte decît cele de jos şi cele dela mijloc.

7 Zidul de afară, care mergea alături cu odăile, dinspre curtea de afară, în faţa odăilor, avea o lungime de cincizeci de coţi;

8 căci lungimea odăilor din spre curtea de afară era de cincizeci de coţi. Dar faţa Templului avea o sută de coţi.

9 Dedesubtul acestor odăi era intrarea dela răsărit, cum veneai din curtea de afară.

10 Mai erau nişte odăi de grosimea zidului curţii dinspre răsărit, în dreptul locului gol şi în dreptul clădirii.

11 În faţa lor, era un loc de trecere, ca şi înaintea odăilor dinspre miază noapte, de aceeaş lungime şi lăţime; ieşirile, întocmirea şi uşile lor erau la fel.

12 Tot aşa era şi cu uşile odăilor dinspre miazăzi. Era o uşă la capul locului de trecere, care se afla drept înaintea zidului dinspre răsărit, pe unde intrai.

13 El mi -a zis: ,,Odăile dela miazănoapte şi odăile de la miazăzi, cari sînt în faţa locului gol, sînt odăile sfinte, unde vor mînca lucrurile prea sfinte preoţii, cari se apropie de Domnul; în ele vor pune lucrurile prea sfinte, darurile de mîncare, vitele aduse ca jertfe de ispăşire şi de vină; căci locul acesta este sfînt.

14 Cînd vor intra preoţii, nu vor ieşi din locul sfînt ca să se ducă în curtea de afară, ci îşi vor lăsa acolo hainele cu cari fac slujba, căci hainele acestea sînt sfinte; se vor îmbrăca în alte haine ca să se apropie de curtea care este pentru popor.``

15 După ce a isprăvit de măsurat casa dinlăuntru, m'a scos pe poarta dinspre răsărit, şi a măsurat -o pe partea de afară de jur împrejur.

16 A măsurat partea de răsărit cu prăjina de măsurat, şi de jur împrejur a găsit cinci sute de prăjini.

17 A măsurat partea de miazănoapte cu prăjina de măsurat, şi a găsit de jur împrejur cinci sute de prăjini.

18 A măsurat partea de miazăzi cu prăjina de măsurat, şi a găsit cinci sute de prăjini.

19 S'a întors apoi spre apus, şi a măsurat cinci sute de prăjini cu prăjina de măsurat.

20 A măsurat astfel în cele patru laturi zidul de jur împrejurul casei; lungimea era de cinci sute de prăjini, şi lăţimea de cinci sute de prăjini; zidul acesta despărţea locul sfînt de cel nesfînt.
