Chambers for the Priests
44 On the outside of the inner gateway there were two (A)chambers[a] in the (B)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 that faces south is for the priests (C)who have charge of the temple, 46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests (D)who have charge of the altar. These are (E)the sons of Zadok, who alone[d] among the sons of Levi may come (F)near to the Lord to minister to him.” 47 And he measured the court, (G)a hundred cubits long and (H)a hundred cubits broad, a square. And (I)the altar was in front of the temple.
