The Prophecy
of Ezechiel 42
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.
In the face of the north door was the length of a hundred
cubits, and the breadth of fifty cubits.
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.
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.
Where were the store chambers lower above: because they
bore up the galleries, which appeared above out of them
from the lower parts, and from the midst of the building.
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.
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.
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.
And there was under these chambers, an entrance from
the east, for them that went into them out of the outward
court.
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.
And the way before them was like the chambers which
were toward the north: they wore as long as they, and
as broad as they: and all the going is to them, and
their fashions, and their doors were alike.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed,
five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed round about.
And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed round about.
And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds,
with the measuring reed.
By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every
side round about, five hundred cubits long and five
hundred cubits broad, making a separation between the
sanctuary and the place of the people. |
