Ezekiel - Chapter 42 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that {cf15I was} over against the separate place, and which {cf15I was} before the building toward the north.
  • 2. Before the length of an hundred cubits {cf15I was} the north door, and the breadth {cf15I was} fifty cubits.
  • 3. Over against the twenty {cf15I cubits} which {cf15I were} for the inner court, and over against the pavement which {cf15I was} for the utter court, {cf15I was} gallery against gallery in three {cf15I stories}.
  • 4. And before the chambers {cf15I was} a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
  • 5. Now the upper chambers {cf15I were} shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
  • 6. For they {cf15I were} in three {cf15I stories}, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore {cf15I the building} was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
  • 7. And the wall that {cf15I was} without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof {cf15I was} fifty cubits.
  • 8. For the length of the chambers that {cf15I were} in the utter court {cf15I was} fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple {cf15I were} an hundred cubits.
  • 9. And from under these chambers {cf15I was} the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
  • 10. The chambers {cf15I were} in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
  • 11. And the way before them {cf15I was} like the appearance of the chambers which {cf15I were} toward the north, as long as they, {cf15I and} as broad as they: and all their goings out {cf15I were} both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
  • 12. And according to the doors of the chambers that {cf15I were} toward the south {cf15I was} a door in the head of the way, {cf15I even} the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
  • 13. Then said he unto me, The north chambers {cf15I and} the south chambers, which {cf15I are} before the separate place, they {cf15I be} holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place {cf15I is} holy.
  • 14. When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy {cf15I place} into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they {cf15I are} holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to {cf15I those things} which {cf15I are} for the people.
  • 15. Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect {cf15I is} toward the east, and measured it round about.
  • 16. He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
  • 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I reeds} long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
