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 were as long as they, and as broad as they: and all the going in 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.

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.
