1 Então ele me fez sair para fora, ao átrio exterior, pelo caminho que guia para o norte; e me levou às câmaras que estavam defronte do lugar separado e que estavam defronte do edifício que olha para o norte.

2 Defronte do comprimento de cem cúbitos estava a porta do norte, e a largura era de cinqüenta cúbitos.

3 Defronte dos vinte cúbitos que pertenciam ao átrio interior, e defronte do pavimento que pertencia ao átrio exterior havia galeria contra galeria no terceiro andar.

4 Diante das câmaras havia um passeio de dez cúbitos de largo para dentro, caminho dum cúbito; e as suas portas olham para o norte.

5 Ora as câmaras superiores eram mais estreitas, porque as galerias tiravam destas mais do que das ínfimas e das médias no edifício.

6 Pois elas eram de três andares, e não tinham colunas como as colunas dos átrios; por isso as superiores eram mais estreitas do que as ínfimas e as médias do chão.

7 O muro que estava de fora ao lado das câmaras, no caminho do átrio exterior diante das câmaras, tinha o comprimento de cinqüenta cúbitos.

8 Pois o comprimento das câmaras que estavam no átrio exterior, era de cinqüenta cúbitos; e eis que defronte do templo havia cem cúbitos.

9 Por debaixo destas câmaras havia a entrada da banda oriental, quando se entra nelas do átrio exterior.

10 Na grossura do muro do átrio que olha para o oriente, diante do lugar separado e diante do edifício, havia câmaras.

11 O caminho diante delas tinha a feição do caminho das câmaras que olham para o norte; conforme o seu comprimento, assim era a sua largura: e todas as suas saídas eram conforme as suas formas e conforme as suas portas.

12 Tais como eram as portas das câmaras que olham para o sul, tal era a porta no topo do caminho, a saber, do caminho bem em frente do muro para o oriente, para quem por elas entre.

13 Então me disse: As câmaras do norte e as câmaras do sul, que estão diante do lugar separado, são as câmaras santas, em que os sacerdotes que estão perto de Jeová comerão as coisas mais santas. Ali porão as coisas santíssimas, e as ofertas de cereais, e as ofertas pelo pecado e as ofertas pela culpa; pois o lugar é santo.

14 Quando entrarem os sacerdotes, não sairão do lugar santo para o átrio exterior, mas ali porão as suas vestes, em que exercem o seu ministério (porque são santas), e vestir-se-ão de outras vestes e aproximar-se-ão do que toca ao povo.

15 Tendo ele acabado de medir a casa interior, fez-me sair pelo caminho da porta, que olha para o oriente, e a mediu por todos os lados.

16 Mediu pela banda do oriente com a cana de medir, quinhentas canas ao redor.

17 Mediu pela banda do norte com a cana de medir quinhentas canas ao redor.

18 Mediu pela banda do sul com a cana de medir quinhentas canas.

19 Voltou-se para a banda do ocidente, e mediu quinhentas canas com a cana de medir.

20 Pelas quatro bandas a mediu; tinha ela um muro em redor, de quinhentas canas de comprimento, de quinhentas de largura, para fazer separação entre o que é santo e o que é comum.

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north. 2 Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 3 Over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story. 4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits’ breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. 5 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building. 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 a 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 egresses 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 at 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 are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-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. 19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20 He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
