Ezekiel 42

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Then he led me out into the inner court, toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers which were opposite the temple yard and opposite the building on the north.	1 And he led me into the outer court by the way that leads to the north, and he led me into the storeroom that was opposite the separate edifice, and opposite the shrine that verges toward the north.
2 The length of the building which was on the north side was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits.	2 The length of the face of the north gate was one hundred cubits, and the width was fifty cubits.
3 Adjoining the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.	3 Opposite the twenty cubits of the interior court, and opposite the layer of pavement stones in the outer court, in that place, there was a portico joined to a triple portico.
4 And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north.	4 And before the storerooms, there was a walkway of ten cubits in width, looking toward the interior along a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward 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 In that place, there were storerooms in the upper part of the lower level. For they supported the porticos, which projected from them out of the lower level, and out of the middle of the building.
6 For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer court; hence the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones.	6 For they were of three levels, and they did not have pillars, as they were like the pillars of the courts. Because of this, they projected from the lower levels and from the middle, fifty cubits from the ground.
7 And there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long.	7 And the exterior enclosing wall, adjacent to the storerooms that were along the way of the exterior court in front of the storerooms, was fifty cubits long.
8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the temple were a hundred cubits long.	8 For the length of the storerooms of the exterior court was fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 Below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court,	9 And under these storerooms, there was an entrance from the east, for those who were entering into it from the outer court.
10 where the outside wall begins. On the south also, opposite the yard and opposite the building, there were chambers	10 In the width of the enclosing wall of the court that was opposite the way of the east, at the face of the separate edifice, there were also storerooms, before the edifice.
11 with a passage in front of them; they were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits and arrangements and doors.	11 And the way before their face was in accord with the form of the storerooms which were along the way of the north. As was their length, so also was their width. And the entire entrance, and the likenesses, and their doors
12 And below the south chambers was an entrance on the east side, where one enters the passage, and opposite them was a dividing wall.	12 were in accord with the doors of the storerooms that were on the way looking toward the Renown. There was a door at the head of the way, and the way was before a separate vestibule, along the way entering toward the east.
13 Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers opposite the yard are the holy chambers, where the priests who approach the LORD shall eat the most holy offerings; there they shall put the most holy offerings--the cereal offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, for the place is holy.	13 And he said to me: “The storerooms of the north, and the storerooms of the south, which are before the separate edifice, these are holy storerooms, in which the priests, who draw near to the Lord in the Holy of Holies, shall eat. There they shall station the Holy of Holies, and the offering for sin, and for trespasses. For it is a holy place.
14 When the priests enter the holy place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy; they shall put on other garments before they go near to that which is for the people."	14 And when the priests will have entered, they shall not depart from the holy places into the outer court. And in that place, they shall set their vestments, in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall be clothed with other vestments, and in this manner they shall go forth to the people.”
15 Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate which faced east, and measured the temple area round about.	15 And when he had completed measuring the inner house, he led me out along the way of the gate that looked toward the way of the east. And he measured it on every side all around.
16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.	16 Then he measured facing the east wind with the measuring reed: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
17 Then he turned and measured the north side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.	17 And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
18 Then he turned and measured the south side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.	18 And toward the south wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
19 Then he turned to the west side and measured, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.	19 And toward the west wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20 He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits broad, to make a separation between the holy and the common.	20 By the four winds, he measured its wall, on every side throughout the course: five hundred cubits in length and five hundred cubits in width, dividing between the sanctuary and the place of the common people.
