Ezekiel 40:44-47
Amplified Bible
44 From the outside to the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner courtyard, one of which was [a]beside the north gate, with its front toward the south, and one [b]beside the [c]south gate facing toward the north. 45 He [who was guiding me] said to me, “This is the chamber which faces toward the south; it is for the priests who have the responsibility and take care of the temple; 46 but the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who have the responsibility and take care of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who [alone] from the sons of Levi come near to the Lord to minister to Him.” 47 He measured the courtyard, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, a perfect square; and the altar was in front of the temple.
