45. He said to me, “This chamber that faces toward the south is for the kohanim who keep charge of the House.
46. The chamber that faces toward the north is for the kohanim who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those from the sons of Levi who come near to Adonai to minister to Him.”
47. Then he measured the court. It was 100 cubits long and 100 cubits wide, a square. The altar was in front of the House.
48. He brought me to the porch of the House. He measured each pillar of the porch, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
49. The length of the porch was 20 cubits and the width 11 cubits. It was ascended by way of steps, where pillars stood, one on each side.
