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 utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north. 2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. 4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. 5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. 6 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 7 And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter 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 utter court. 10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building. 11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: 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 holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. 14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. 16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 18 He measured 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 by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
