New Revised Standard NRS
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.
1
Then he led me out into the outer court, toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers that were opposite the temple yard and opposite the building on the north.
2 In the face of the north door was the length of hundred cubits, and the breadth of fifty cubits.
2
The length of the building that was on the north side was one hundred cubits, and the width 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.
3
Across the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement that belonged to the outer court, the chambers rose gallery by gallery in three stories.
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.
4
In front of the chambers was a passage on the inner side, ten cubits wide and one hundred cubits deep, and its entrances were on the north.
5 Where were the store chambers lower above: because they bore up the galleries, which appeared above out of them from he lower parts, and from the midst of the building.
5
Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers in 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.
6
For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer court; for this reason the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones.
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.
7
There was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, 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.
8
For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the temple were one hundred cubits long.
9 And there was under these chambers, an entrance from the east, for them that went into them out of the outward court.
9
At the foot of these chambers ran a passage that one entered from the east in order to enter them from the outer 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.
10
The width of the passage was fixed by the wall of the court. On the south also, opposite the vacant area and opposite the building, there were chambers
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.
11
with a passage in front of them; they were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and width, with the same exits and arrangements and doors.
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.
12
So the entrances of the chambers to the south were entered through the entrance at the head of the corresponding passage, from the east, along the matching wall.
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.
13
Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers opposite the vacant area are the holy chambers, where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings; there they shall deposit the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy.
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.
14
When the priests enter the holy place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the vestments in which they minister, for these are holy; they shall put on other garments before they go near to the area open 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.
15
When he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faces east, and measured the temple area all around.
16 And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
16
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
17 And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
17
Then he turned and measured the north side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
18 And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
18
Then he turned and measured the south side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
19 And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19
Then he turned to the west side and measured, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
20 By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every side round about, five hundred cubits and five hundred cubits broad, making a separation between the sanctuary and the place of the people.
20
He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to make a separation between the holy and the common.
