Ezekiel 42:3-14 ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, with three porches fronting one another.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, with three porches fronting one another. ⁴ And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length reaching to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward. ⁵ And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, even from the range of columns below, and there was a space between; so were there a peristyle and a space between, and so were there two porches. ⁶ For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones; therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground. ⁷ And there was light outside, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length of them was fifty cubits. ⁸ For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits. ⁹ And there were doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court, ¹⁰ by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and so were the chambers. ¹¹ And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, and according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors. ¹² So were the measures of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them. ¹³ And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the empty spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, in which the priests, the sons of Zadok, who draw near to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offerings, and the trespass offerings; because the place is holy. ¹⁴ None shall go in there except the priests, and they shall not go forth into the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw near to Me may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, with defilement, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.
