Then he said unto me, The north chambers
and the south chambers, which
are before the separate place, they
are holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the holy offerings; there they shall lay the holy offerings, and the present, and
that which was offered as sin, and as guilt; for the place
is holy.
14
When the priests enter therein, then they shall not go out of the holy
place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they
are holy; and shall put on other garments, and in this manner shall approach unto that which
is of the people.

17
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
18
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
19
He turned about to the west side,
and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred
reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
