< Ezekiel 42 >

1 And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.
And he brought out me to the courtyard outer the way [the] direction of the north and he brought me to the room which [was] before the separate place and which [was] before the structure to the north.
2 On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,
To [the] face of length cubits the hundred [the] entrance of the north and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.
3 Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.
Before the twenty [cubits] which [belonged] to the courtyard inner and before [the] pavement which [belonged] to the courtyard outer a gallery [was] to [the] face of a gallery in the thirds.
4 And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.
And [was] before the rooms a passage of ten cubits breadth to the inner [court] a way of a cubit one and entrances their [were] to the north.
5 And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms.
And the rooms upper [were] short for they consumed galleries from them more than the lower [rooms] and more than the middle [rooms] [the] structure.
6 For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.
For [were] divided into three parts they and not [belonged] to them columns like [the] columns of the courtyards there-fore it was shortened more than the lower [rooms] and more than the middle [rooms] from the ground.
7 And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
And [the] wall which [was] to the outside close to the rooms [the] direction of the courtyard outer to [the] face of the rooms length its [was] fifty cubit[s].
8 For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits.
For [the] length of the rooms which [belonged] to the courtyard outer [was] fifty cubit[s] and there! on [the] face of the temple a hundred cubit[s].
9 And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall.
(And [was] from under the rooms *Q(K)*) these (the [one] bringing *Q(K)*) from the east when comes he to them from the courtyard outer.
10 (And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.
In [the] breadth of - [the] wall of the courtyard [the] direction of the east [were] to [the] face of the separate place and to [the] face of the structure rooms.
11 And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.
And a way [was] before them like [the] appearance of the rooms which [were] [the] direction of the north like length their [was] so breadth their and all exits their and like plans their and like entrances their.
12 And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.
And like [the] entrances of the rooms which [were] [the] direction of the south an entrance [was] at [the] head of a way a way in front of the wall corresponding [the] direction of the east when come [to] them.
13 And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.
And he said to me [the] rooms of the north [the] rooms of the south which [are] to [the] face of the separate place they - [are] [the] rooms of holiness where they will eat there the priests who [are] near to Yahweh [the] holy things of the holy things there they will set down - [the] holy things of the holy things and the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering for the place [is] holy.
14 When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.
When go they the priests and not they will go out from the holy place into the courtyard outer and there they will set down clothes their which they will serve in them for [are] a holy thing they (and they will put on *Q(K)*) clothes other and they will draw near to [that] which [is] for the people.
15 And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.
And he had completed [the] measurements of the house inner and he brought out me [the] way of the gate which face its [was] [the] direction of the east and he measured it all around - all around.
16 He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
He measured [the] side of the east with [the] reed of measurement five (hundred *Q(K)*) reeds by [the] reed of measurement all around.
17 And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
He measured [the] side of the north five hundred reeds by [the] reed of measurement all around.
18 And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
[the] side of The south he measured five hundred reeds by [the] reed of measurement.
19 And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
He turned to [the] side of the sea he measured [it] five hundred reeds by [the] reed of measurement.
20 He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.
To four sides he measured it a wall [belonged] to it all around - all around [the] length [was] five hundred [cubits] and [the] breadth [was] five hundred [cubits] to make a distinction between holy thing and a profane thing.
