1 Then he took me forth unto the outer court, the way toward the north,and brought me unto the chamber which was over against the secluded place and which was over against the enclosing-wall, towards the north.2 Facing the length of the hundred cubits, was the entrance of the north,and the breadth was fifty cubits:3 over against the twenty which pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement which pertained to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery, by the thirties;4 and before the chambers, was a walk ten cubits in breadth inward, a way of one cubit,and their entrances were to the north.5 Now, the highest chambers were shortened, because the galleries took away therefrom more than from the lower or from the middle in structure.6 For three stories, they were; and had not pillars like the pillars of the courts; for this cause, it differed from the lowest and from the middle, from the ground.7 And as for the wall that was without. answering to the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.8 For the length of the chambers which pertained to the outer court was fifty cubits,and lo! in front of the temple a hundred cubits,9 And from under these chambers, was the entry from the east when one goeth in by them from the outer court.10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east facing the secluded place and facing the enclosing wall, were chambers. n11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as was their length, so it was their breadth,and all their exits were both according to their regulations, and according to their entrances.12 And according to the entrances of the chambers which were toward the south, was the entrance at the head of the waythe way in the face of the covered wall, the way toward the east in entering them.13 Then said he unto me, The chambers of the north the chambers of the south which face the secluded place, they are the holy chambers where the priests who draw near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things; there, shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt bearer, for the place is holy!14 When the priests enter them, then shall they not go forth out of the holy place into the outer court, but there, shall they lay their garments wherein they minister for holy they are, and shall put on other garments, and so draw near unto that which pertaineth to the people.15 And when he had ended the measurings of the inner house, then he brought me forth by way of the gate which looked toward the east, and measured it round about on every side.16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed,five hundred reeds by the measuring reed round about,17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed round about.18 The south side, measured he,five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.19 He turned about to the west side,he measured five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.20 Toward the four winds, measured he it a wall, had it round about on every side, in length, five hundred, and in breadth five hundred,to make a separation, between the holy and the common.

1 Depois disso, fez-me sair para fora, ao átrio exterior, para a banda do caminho do norte; e me levou às câmaras que estavam defronte do largo vazio e que estavam defronte do edifício, da banda do norte. 2 Do comprimento de cem côvados era a entrada do norte; e a largura era de cinquenta 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, da banda de dentro, e um caminho de um côvado; e as suas entradas eram para o lado do norte. 5 E as câmaras de cima eram mais estreitas; porque as galerias tomavam aqui mais espaço do que nas de baixo e nas 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 por fora, defronte das câmaras, no caminho do átrio exterior, diante das câmaras, tinha cinquenta côvados de comprimento. 8 Porque o comprimento das câmaras, que estavam no átrio exterior, era de cinquenta côvados; e eis que defronte do templo havia cem côvados. 9 E da parte de 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 caminho do oriente, diante do lugar separado, e diante do edifício, havia também câmaras. 11 E o caminho de diante delas era da feição das câmaras e olhava para o caminho do norte; conforme o seu comprimento, assim era a sua largura; e todas as suas saídas eram também conforme as suas feições e conforme as suas entradas. 12 E conforme as entradas das câmaras, que olhavam para o caminho do sul, havia também uma entrada do topo do caminho, do caminho diante 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, são câmaras santas, em que os sacerdotes, que se chegam ao Senhor, comerão as coisas mais santas; ali porão as coisas mais santas, e as ofertas de comer, e a expiação pelo pecado, e a expiação 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 santidade; e vestir-se-ão de outras vestiduras e assim se aproximarão do lugar pertencente ao povo.

15 E, acabando ele de medir o templo interior, ele me fez sair pelo caminho da porta cuja face olha para o caminho do oriente; e mediu em redor. 16 Mediu a banda oriental com a cana de medir: quinhentas canas com a cana de medir ao redor. 17 Mediu a banda do norte: quinhentas canas com a cana de medir ao redor. 18 A banda do sul também mediu: quinhentas canas com a cana de medir. 19 Deu uma volta para a banda do ocidente e mediu quinhentas canas com a cana de medir. 20 Mediu pelas quatro bandas; e tinha um muro em redor, de quinhentas canas de comprimento e quinhentas de largura, para fazer separação entre o santo e o profano.
