New Testament

Ezekiel 42:1-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Then he brought me out into the outer court, toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate yard and which was opposite the building on the north.

2. Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits.

3. Opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

4. In front of the chambers was a passage on the inner side, ten cubits wide and one hundred cubits deep; and their doors faced north.

5. Now the upper chambers were shorter. For the galleries were higher than these, than the lower and the middle ones of the building.

6. For they were in three stories, but had no pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the building was set back more than the lowest and the middle ones from the ground.

7. And a wall that was outside was parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers; its length was fifty cubits.

8. For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And the length of those before the temple was a hundred cubits.

9. From under these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one goes into them from the outer court.

10. The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate yard and opposite the building,

11. with a passage in front of them; they were like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, of the same length and width. And all their exits and arrangements were according to plan.

12. Corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south was a door at the head of the passage way, the passage way directly in front of the wall toward the east.
