Ezekiel 42:12-19
New American Standard Bible
13Then he said to me, 'The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to the Lord shall eat the most holy things. There they shall set the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.
14When the priests enter, they shall not go out into the outer courtyard from the sanctuary without laying their garments there in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they shall approach that which is for the people.'
15Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by way of the gate which faced east, and measured it all around.
16He measured on the east side with the measuring rod: five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
17He measured on the north side: five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
18On the south side he measured five hundred rods with the measuring rod.
19He turned to the west side and measured five hundred rods with the measuring rod.
King James Version
Chapter 42
12And 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. 13Then 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. 14When 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.
15Now 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.
16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
18He measured 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.
Christian Standard Bible
13Then the man said to me, "The northern and southern chambers that face the courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will deposit the most holy offerings--the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings--for the place is holy.
14Once the priests have entered, they are not to go out from the holy area to the outer court until they have removed the clothes they minister in, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the public area."
New Living Translation
13Then the man told me, 'These rooms that overlook the Temple from the north and south are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. And because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings — the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
14When the priests leave the sanctuary, they must not go directly to the outer courtyard. They must first take off the clothes they wore while ministering, because these clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before entering the parts of the building complex open to the public.'
15When the man had finished measuring the inside of the Temple area, he led me out through the east gateway to measure the entire perimeter.
16He measured the east side with his measuring rod, and it was 875 feet long.
17Then he measured the north side, and it was also 875 feet.
18The south side was also 875 feet,
19and the west side was also 875 feet.
English Standard Version
13Then 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 grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, for the place is holy.
14When 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.”
15Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and measured the temple area all around.
16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.
17He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.
18He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
19Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
New International Version
13Then 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.
14Once 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.'
15When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:
16He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.
17He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
18He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
19Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
New King James Version
13Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings— the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering—for the place is holy.
14When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy chamber into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.”
15Now when he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the gateway that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.
16He measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.
17He measured the north side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.
18He measured the south side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
19He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
