Berean Study Bible

International Standard Version

1Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.

1Then he brought me to the outer, north-facing courtyard into the chamber that stood opposite the structure that was facing north.

2The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

2It stood 100 cubits long and 50 cubits wide, with a door in the middle.

3Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.

3Opposite the 20 cubits wide inner court, and opposite the paved area that comprised the outer court, there were three stories of galleries that faced each other.

4In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

4In front of the chambers there was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and 100 cubits wide, the openings to which were on the north.

5Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.

5The upper chambers were narrower, since the galleries required more space than did the lower and middle portions of the building.

6For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.

6The three part structure had no columns, unlike the courts, which is why the upper chambers were offset from the ground upward, more so than the lower and middle chambers.

7An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.

7The outer wall by the side of the chambers toward the outer court and facing the chambers was 50 cubits long.

8For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.

8While the chambers in the outer court were 50 cubits in length, the chambers facing the Temple were 100 cubits long.

9And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

9Below these chambers, as one might enter from the outer court, was the east side entrance.

10On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,

10There were chambers built into the thick part of the wall of the court facing the east; that is, facing the separate area toward the front of the building,

11with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.

11with a passageway in front of them, similar in appearance to the chambers that were on the north, proportional to their length and width, with all of their exits according to their arrangements and doorways.

12And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

12Corresponding to the chamber doorways facing the south was an opening at the beginning of the passage; that is, the passage in front of the corresponding part of the wall facing east as one might enter.

13Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.

13Then he told me, "The north and south chamber, which are opposite the courtyard, are consecrated areas where the priests who approach the LORD will eat consecrated offerings and lay the consecrated grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings, because the area is holy.

14Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”

14When the priest enters, they will not enter the outer court from the sanctuary without having removed their garments worn during their time of ministry, because they are holy. They will put on different clothes, and then they will approach the area reserved for the people."

15Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:

15After he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the east-facing gate and measured it all around.

16With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.

16He measured the east side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

17He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.

17the north side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

18He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.

18the south side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick,

19And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.

19and the west side at 500 reeds, according to the length of the measuring stick.

20So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.

20He measured a wall that encompassed all four sides, 500 hundred long and 500 wide, dividing between the sacred and common areas.
