Of the chambers of the Temple for the Priests, and the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 things.

1 THen broght he me into the vtter court* 1.1 by the waie towarde the North, and he broght me into the chamber that was ouer against the separate place, and which was be fore the buylding towarde the North.

2 Before the length of an hundreth cubites (was) the North dore, and (it was) fiftie cu∣bites broad.

3 Ouer against the twentie (cubites) which were for the inner court, and ouer against the pauemēt, which was for the vtter court, was chābre against chambre in thre rowes.

4 And before the chābres (was) a galerie of tē cubites wide, (&) within (was) a waie of one cubite, and their dores towarde the North.* 1.2

5 Now the chambres aboue were narower: fortho e chambres (semed) to eat vp these, (to wit,) the lower, ād those that were in the middes of the buylding.

6 For thei were in thre rowes, but had not* 1.3 pillers as the pillers of the court: therefore there was a differēce frō thē beneth & from the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, (euen) 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the ground.* 1.4

7 And the wall that was without ouer against the chambres, towarde the vtter court on the fore front of the chambers, (was) fiftie cubites long.

8 For the length of the chambers that were* 1.5 in the vtter court, (was) fistie cubites: and lo, before the Temple (were) an hundreth cu bites.

9 And vnder these chambres (was) the entrie, on the East side, as one goeth into thē from the outwarde court.

10 The chambres (were) in the thickenes of* 1.6 the wall of the court towarde the East, ouer against the separate place, and ouer against the buylding.

11 And the waye before them (was) after the maner of the chambres, which were toward the North as long as thei, (and) as broad as* 1.7 thei: and all their entries were like, bothe ac cording to their facions, and according to their dores.

12 And according to the dores of the chābres that were to warde the South, (was) a dore in the corner of the waie, (euen) the waie directly before the wall to warde the East, as one entreth.

13 Then said he vnto me, The North* 1.8 cham∣bres (and) the South chambres which are be fore the separate place, thei be holy cham∣bers, wherein the Priests that approche vn∣to the Lord, shal eat the moste holie things: there shalthei laye the moste holy things, and the meat offring, and the sinoffring and the trespasse offring: for the place (is) holy.

14 When the Priests entre therein, thei shal not go out of the holie place into the vtter court but there thei shallaie their garments where in thei minister: for thei are holie, (and) shal put on other garments, and so shal approche to those things, which are for the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measu∣ring the inner house, he broght me forthe towarde the gate whose prospect is towarde the East, and measured it rounde about.

16 He measured the East side with the measu∣ring rod, fiue hundreth redes, (euē) with the measuring rede rounde about.

17 He measured (also) the North side, fiue hun dreth redes, (euen) with the measuring rede rounde about.

18 And he measured the South“ 1.9 side fiue hun∣dreth

redes with the measuring rede.

19 He turned about (also) to the West side, (&) measured fiue hundreth redes with the mea∣suring rede.

20 He measured it by the foure sides: it had a wall rounde about, fiue hundreth (redes) lōg and fiue hundreth broad to make a separa∣tion betwene the Sanctuarie, and the pro∣phane place.
