Ezekiel 42
|
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 before 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 were for the inner court, and over against the pavement
which was for the outer court, was gallery against
gallery in three stories.
|
4 |
And before the chambers was a walk
of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors
toward the north.
|
5 |
Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower,
and than the middlemost of the building.
|
6 |
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts:
therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest
and the middlemost from the ground.
|
7 |
And the wall that was without over
against the chambers, toward the outer court on the forepart of 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 |
The chambers were in the
thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the
separate place, and over against the building.
|
11 |
And the way before them was like
the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north,
as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings
out 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 in 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 be holy chambers, where the priests that
approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy
things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat
offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the
place is holy.
|
14 |
When the priests enter therein, 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 shall put on other garments, and shall
approach to those things which are for the
people.
|
15 |
Now when he had made an end of
measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose
prospect is toward the east, and measured it round
about.
|
16 |
He measured the east side with the
measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round
about.
|
17 |
He measured the north side, five hundred
reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
|
18 |
He measured 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 by the four sides: it had
a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred
broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane
place. 1 Kgs. 6.1-38 · 2 Chr. 3.1-9
