1 Então ele me fez sair para fora, ao átrio exterior, pelo caminho que guia para o norte; e me levou às câmaras que estavam defronte do lugar separado e que estavam defronte do edifício que olha para o norte.2 Defronte do comprimento de cem cúbitos estava a porta do norte, e a largura era de cinqüenta cúbitos.3 Defronte dos vinte cúbitos que pertenciam ao átrio interior, e defronte do pavimento que pertencia ao átrio exterior havia galeria contra galeria no terceiro andar.4 Diante das câmaras havia um passeio de dez cúbitos de largo para dentro, caminho dum cúbito; e as suas portas olham para o norte.5 Ora as câmaras superiores eram mais estreitas, porque as galerias tiravam destas mais do que das ínfimas e das médias no edifício.6 Pois elas eram de três andares, e não tinham colunas como as colunas dos átrios; por isso as superiores eram mais estreitas do que as ínfimas e as médias do chão.7 O muro que estava de fora ao lado das câmaras, no caminho do átrio exterior diante das câmaras, tinha o comprimento de cinqüenta cúbitos.8 Pois o comprimento das câmaras que estavam no átrio exterior, era de cinqüenta cúbitos; e eis que defronte do templo havia cem cúbitos.9 Por debaixo destas câmaras havia a entrada da banda oriental, quando se entra nelas do átrio exterior.10 Na grossura do muro do átrio que olha para o oriente, diante do lugar separado e diante do edifício, havia câmaras.11 O caminho diante delas tinha a feição do caminho das câmaras que olham para o norte; conforme o seu comprimento, assim era a sua largura: e todas as suas saídas eram conforme as suas formas e conforme as suas portas.12 Tais como eram as portas das câmaras que olham para o sul, tal era a porta no topo do caminho, a saber, do caminho bem em frente do muro para o oriente, para quem por elas entre.13 Então me disse: As câmaras do norte e as câmaras do sul, que estão diante do lugar separado, são as câmaras santas, em que os sacerdotes que estão perto de Jeová comerão as coisas mais santas. Ali porão as coisas santíssimas, e as ofertas de cereais, e as ofertas pelo pecado e as ofertas pela culpa; pois o lugar é santo.14 Quando entrarem os sacerdotes, não sairão do lugar santo para o átrio exterior, mas ali porão as suas vestes, em que exercem o seu ministério (porque são santas), e vestir-se-ão de outras vestes e aproximar-se-ão do que toca ao povo.15 Tendo ele acabado de medir a casa interior, fez-me sair pelo caminho da porta, que olha para o oriente, e a mediu por todos os lados.16 Mediu pela banda do oriente com a cana de medir, quinhentas canas ao redor.17 Mediu pela banda do norte com a cana de medir quinhentas canas ao redor.18 Mediu pela banda do sul com a cana de medir quinhentas canas.19 Voltou-se para a banda do ocidente, e mediu quinhentas canas com a cana de medir.20 Pelas quatro bandas a mediu; tinha ela um muro em redor, de quinhentas canas de comprimento, de quinhentas de largura, para fazer separação entre o que é santo e o que é comum.

1 And he brought me forth into the outward court by the way that leadeth to the north, and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate building, and over against the house toward the north.2 In the face of the north door was the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth of fifty cubits.3 Over against the twenty cubits of the inner court, and over against the pavement of the outward court that was paved with stone, where there was a gallery joined to a triple gallery.4 And before the chambers was a walk ten cubits broad, looking to the inner parts of a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the north.5 Where were the store chambers lower above: because they bore up the galleries, which appeared above out of them from the lower parts, and from the midst of the building.6 For they were of three stories, and had not pillars, as the pillars of the courts: therefore did they appear above out of the lower places, and out of the middle places, fifty cubits from the ground.7 And the outward wall that went about by the chambers, which were towards the outward court on the forepart of the chambers, was fifty cubits long.8 For the length of the chambers of the outward court was fifty cubits: and the length before the face of the temple, a hundred cubits.9 And there was under these chambers, an entrance from the east, for them that went into them out of the outward court.10 In the breadth of the outward wall of the court that was toward the east, over against the separate building, and there were chambers before the building.11 And the way before them was like the chambers which were toward the north: they wore as long as they, and as broad as they: and all the going is to them, and their fashions, and their doors were alike.12 According to the doors of the chambers that were towards the south : there was a door in the head of the way, which way was before the porch, separated towards the east as one entereth in.13 And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place.14 And when the priests shall have entered in, they shall not go out of the holy places into the outward court: but there they shall lay their vestments, wherein they minister, for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and so they shall go forth to the people.15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and he measured it on every side round about.16 And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.17 And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.18 And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.19 And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.20 By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every side round about, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits broad, making a separation between the sanctuary and the place of the people.
