6. For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7. And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
8. For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
9. And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10. In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
11. And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12. And 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.
13. Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.
14. When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.
15. Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
16. He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17. He measured on the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
18. He measured on the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
