<h3>The Rooms for the Priests</h3>42 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side. 2 The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide. 3 Both in the section twenty cubits from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels. 4 In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north. 5 Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building. 6 The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors. 7 There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. 8 While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long. 9 The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court. 10 On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms 11 with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north 12 were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms. 13 Then he said to me, “The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests’ rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings —for the place is holy. 14 Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people. ” 15 When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around: 16 He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits. 17 He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 18 He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.

with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north

were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.

Then he said to me, “The north<cr>1</cr> and south rooms<cr>2</cr> facing the temple courtyard<cr>3</cr> are the priests’ rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings.

Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments<cr>1</cr> in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people.<cr>2</cr> ”

Ezekiel 42:14

When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate<cr>1</cr> and measured the area all around:

He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.<ft>1</ft><ft>2</ft>

Ezekiel 42:16

He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits<ft>1</ft> by the measuring rod.

He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.

Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.

So he measured<cr>1</cr> the area<cr>2</cr> on all four sides. It had a wall around it,<cr>3</cr> five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide,<cr>4</cr> to separate the holy from the common.<cr>5</cr>

Ezekiel 42:20

 1 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms   opposite the temple courtyard   and opposite the outer wall on the north side.   2 The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.  3 Both in the section twenty cubits  from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery   faced gallery at the three levels.   4 In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits  long.

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
