The Chambers for the Priests
44 From the outside to the (A)inner gate were [a](B)chambers for the (C)singers in the inner court, one of which was at the [b]side of the north gate, with [c]its front toward the south, and one at the [d]side of the [e]south gate facing toward the north. 45 Then he said to me, “This is the (D)chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who (E)keep the responsibility of the house; 46 but the (F)chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who (G)keep the responsibility of the altar. These are the (H)sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi (I)come near to Yahweh to minister to Him.” 47 He measured the court, a perfect square, one (J)hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the house.

Revised Standard Version
44 Then he brought me from without into the inner court, and behold, there were two chambers[a] in the inner court, one[b] at the side of the north gate facing south, the other at the side of the south[c] gate facing north. 45 And he said to me, This chamber which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple, 46 and the chamber which faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, who alone among the sons of Levi may come near to the Lord to minister to him. 47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was in front of the temple.

The Rooms for the Priests
44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one[a] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south[b] gate and facing north. 45 He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,(A) 46 and the room facing north(B) is for the priests who guard the altar.(C) These are the sons of Zadok,(D) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.(E)”
47 Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.(F)
