Ezekiel 42
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
World English Bible
1Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building, toward the north,
1Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
2even to the front of the length of a hundred cubits, with the door on the north, and the breadth of fifty cubits,
2Facing the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits.
3over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court; with gallery against gallery in three stories.
3Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the three stories.
4And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
4Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
5Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
5Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.
6For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore room was taken away from the lowest and the middlemost, in comparison with the ground.
6For they were in three stories, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
7And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
7The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
8For the length of the chambers that were toward the outer court was fifty cubits; and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
8For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits.
9And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
9From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
10In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers,
10In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.
11with a way before them; like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they, with all their goings out, and according to their fashions; and as their doors,
11The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors.
12so were also the doors of the chambers that were toward the south, there was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall, toward the way from the east, as one entereth into them.
12Like the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
13Then said he unto me: 'The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; for the place is holy.
13Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
14When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.'
14When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.”
15Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
15Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces toward the east, and measured it all around.
16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
16He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.
17He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.
18He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
18He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
19He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
19He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20He measured it by the four sides; it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
20He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred cubits, and the width five hundred cubits, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
