Chambers for the Priests

1And he will bring me forth to the enclosure without, the way a way of the north: and he will bring me to the cell which was over against the separated place, and which was over against the building to the north. 2To the face of the length a hundred cubits the door of the north, and the breadth, fifty cubits. 3Over against the twenty which were for the inner enclosure, add over against the tesselated pavement which was to the court without, an offset to the face of an offset in threes. 4And before the cells a walk, ten cubits the breadth of the inside, a way of one cubit; and their doors to the north. 5And the upper cells shortened, for the offsets will prevail above these, from the lower and from the middle of the building: 6For they were from threes, and no pillars to them as the pillars of the enclosures: for this it was contracted from the lower and from the middle from the earth. 7And the wall that was without over against the cells, the way of the enclosure without to the face of the cells, its length, fifty cubits. 8For the length of the cells which were to the enclosure without, fifty cubits: and behold, at the face of the temple a hundred cubits. 9And from under to these cells the entrance from the east, in his going to them from the enclosure without.

10In the breadth of the wall of the enclosure the way of the east to the separated place and to the face of the building, the cells. 11And the way before them as the appearance of the cells which were the way of the north, as the length so the breadth: and all their goings out according to their judgments and according to their entrances. 12And according to the doors of the cells which were the way of the south, a door in the head of the way, the way in the face of the wall suitable the way of the east in entering.

13And he will say to me, The cells of the north, the cells of the south which are at the face of the separated place, they the cells of the holy place, where the priests shall eat there, that draw near to Jehovah, the holies of holies: there shall they set the holies of holies, and the gift, and the sin, and the trespass; for the place is holy. 14On the priests coming in, and they shall go not forth from the holy place to the enclosure without, and there they shall set their garments which they shall serve in them; for they are holy; they shall put on other garments, and approach to that for the people.
