Ezekiel Chapter 42
So he brought me to the outer court, going north, and showed me this chamber that had a totally different vibe, right in front of the building.
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that {was} over against the separate place, and which {was} before the building toward the north.
The north entrance was a full hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, fr.
Before the length of an hundred cubits {was} the north door, and the breadth {was} fifty cubits.
Facing the twenty cubits for the inner court and the pavement of the outer court, there were three levels of galleries, straight bussin'.
Over against the twenty {cubits} which {were} for the inner court, and over against the pavement which {was} for the utter court, {was} gallery against gallery in three {stories}.
In front of the chambers was a pathway ten cubits wide, plus a one-cubit path leading to their doors that faced north.
And before the chambers {was} a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
The upper chambers were shorter, since the galleries were way higher than the lower and middle levels, no cap.
Now the upper chambers {were} shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. {were higher...: or, did eat of these} {than the lower...: or, and the building consisted of the lower and the middlemost}
They had three tiers but no columns like the courts, so the structure was tighter than the lower and middle ones from the ground up.
For they {were} in three {stories}, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore {the building} was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
The wall outside facing the chambers toward the outer court was fifty cubits long, savage vibes.
And the wall that {was} without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof {was} fifty cubits.
The chambers in the outer court were also fifty cubits long, with a whole hundred cubits before the temple, periodt.
For the length of the chambers that {were} in the utter court {was} fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple {were} an hundred cubits.
Under these chambers, there was an entrance on the east side, like stepping into them from the outer court, fr fr.
And from under these chambers {was} the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court. {from under: or, from the place} {the entry: or, he that brought me} {as...: or, as he came}
The chambers were embedded into the court's wall to the east, right across from the separate place and the building.
The chambers {were} in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
The path in front of them looked just like the northern chambers, same length and width; all their exits were on lock, matching their doors perfectly.
And the way before them {was} like the appearance of the chambers which {were} toward the north, as long as they, {and} as broad as they: and all their goings out {were} both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
There was a door at the beginning of the way for the chambers facing south, leading directly to the wall on the east side upon entry.
And according to the doors of the chambers that {were} toward the south {was} a door in the head of the way, {even} the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
He said to me, "The north and south chambers in front of the separate place are sacred spots where priests can snack on the most holy things; they’ll store the holy stuff, meat offerings, sin offerings, and trespass offerings there, 'cause it’s holy vibes."
Then said he unto me, The north chambers {and} the south chambers, which {are} before the separate place, they {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 {is} holy.
When the priests go in, they can’t just bounce out to the outer court; they gotta leave their holy gear there and switch fits before dealing with the public.
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy {place} into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they {are} holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to {those things} which {are} for the people.
After he finished measuring the inner house, he took me to the east gate and measured it all around, lit for real.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect {is} toward the east, and measured it round about.
He measured the east side with a reed, five hundred reeds, going all the way around, you already know the vibes.
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. {side: Heb. wind}
The north side was also five hundred reeds, measured all around, no cap.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
The south side? Yup, five hundred reeds, measured with the reed, straight facts no lie.
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
He turned to the west side, measuring another five hundred reeds with the reed.
He turned about to the west side, {and} measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
He measured all four sides: it had a wall around it, five hundred reeds long and wide, creating a boundary between the sanctuary and the not-so-holy place.
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred {reeds} long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
