Ezekiel 42

Gen Z: Ezekiel 42

1He took me to the outer court, heading north, and showed me this chamber that was all about that separate vibe, right in front of the building.

2The north door was a whole hundred cubits long, and fifty cubits wide, no cap.

3Across from the twenty cubits for the inner court and the pavement for the outer court, there were galleries stacked in three levels, straight bussin.

4In front of the chambers was a walkway ten cubits wide, with a one-cubit path leading to their doors facing north.

5The upper chambers were shorter, 'cause the galleries were way higher than the lower and middle ones, for real.

6They had three stories but no pillars like the courts, so the building was tighter than the lower and middle ones from the ground.

7The wall outside facing the chambers towards the outer court was fifty cubits long, savage.

8The chambers in the outer court were also fifty cubits long, and there was a whole hundred cubits before the temple, periodt.

9Under these chambers, there was an entry on the east side, like walking into them from the outer court, fr.

10The chambers were built into the wall of the court towards the east, across from the separate place and the building.

11The way in front of them looked just like the chambers to the north, same length and width; all their exits were on point, matching their doors.

12There was a door at the start of the way for the chambers facing south, leading straight to the wall on the east side, when you enter.

13He told me, "The north and south chambers in front of the separate place are holy spots where priests can chow down on the most holy stuff; they’ll put the holy things, meat offerings, sin offerings, and trespass offerings there, 'cause it’s holy."

14When the priests go in, they can’t just stroll out to the outer court; they gotta leave their holy fits there and switch it up before dealing with the people.

15After he wrapped up measuring the inner house, he took me to the east gate and measured it all around, lit.

16He measured the east side with a reed, five hundred reeds, going all the way around, you know the vibes.

17The north side was also five hundred reeds, measured all around, no cap.

18The south side? Yup, five hundred reeds, measured with the reed, straight facts.

19He turned to the west side, measuring another five hundred reeds with the reed.

20He measured all four sides: it had a wall around it, five hundred reeds long and wide, creating a separation between the sanctuary and the not-so-holy place.

KJV: Ezekiel 42

1Then 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.

2Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

3Over 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.

4And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

5Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.

6For 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.

7And 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.

8For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.

9And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.

10The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.

11And 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.

12And 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.

13Then 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.

14When 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.

15Now 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.

16He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

17He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

18He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.

19He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

20He 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.
