New International Version NIV
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.
1
Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side.
2 The length of the building that was on the north side was one hundred cubits, and the width fifty cubits.
2
The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
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.
3
Both in the section twenty cubits from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels.
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.
4
In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
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.
5
Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building.
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.
6
The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors.
7 There was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long.
7
There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.
8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the temple were one hundred cubits long.
8
While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long.
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.
9
The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
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
10
On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms
