New Testament

Ezekiel 42:1-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Then he led me north to the outer courtyard and brought me into the set of chambers opposite the yard and the structure to the north.

2. The length of the facade at the north entrance was one hundred fifty feet, its depth seventy-five feet.

3. It was next to the twenty chambers that belonged to the inner courtyard and next to the pavement of the outer courtyard, and it had three courses of promenades.

4. In front of the chambers there was a passage fifteen feet wide, and to the inside, a passage eighteen inches wide. The entrance to the chambers was on the north.

5. The upper chambers were smaller, because the promenades took up more space from them than from the first and second stories.

6. This was because the promenades were arranged in three levels, but they didn’t have columns like those in the courtyards. For this reason, the top story was narrower than the first and second stories.

7. A stone wall ran parallel to the chambers facing the outer courtyard. It was seventy-five feet long,

8. the same length, seventy-five feet, as the chambers facing the outer courtyard. Those facing the temple were one hundred fifty feet.
