New International Version NIV
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
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.
11
with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north
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.
12
were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.
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.
13
Then he said to me, “The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests’ rooms, where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
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."
14
Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people.”
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.
15
When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:
16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
16
He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.
17 Then he turned and measured the north side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
17
He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
