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.

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.
