Ezekiel 42:1-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Then he led me north to the outer court, bringing me to some chambers on the north side opposite the restricted area and the north building.

2. They were a hundred cubits long on the north side and fifty cubits wide.

3. Built in rows at three different levels, they stood between the twenty cubits of the inner court and the pavement of the outer court.

4. In front of the chambers was a walkway ten cubits wide on the inside of a wall one cubit wide. The doorways faced north.

5. The upper chambers were shorter because they lost space to the lower and middle tiers of the building.

6. Because they were in three tiers, they did not have foundations like the court, but were set back from the lower and middle levels from the ground up.

7. The outside walls ran parallel to the chambers along the outer court, a length of fifty cubits.

8. The chambers facing the outer court were fifty cubits long; thus the wall along the nave was a hundred cubits.

9. At the base of these chambers, there was an entryway from the east so that one could enter from the outer court

10. where the wall of the court began.To the south along the side of the restricted area and the building there were also chambers
