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.

Rooms for Priests and Other Worship Leaders
44 And on the outside of the inner gate, there were chambers for[a] singers in the inner courtyard, which was to the side of the north gate, and their faces[b] were to the south[c] with respect to one, and on the side of the east gate one facing to the north. 45 And he said to me, “This chamber with its face toward the south[d] is for the priests who are taking care of the responsibility of the temple. 46 And the chamber with its face to the north[e] is for the priests who are taking care of the responsibility of the altar. They are the descendants[f] of Zadok, the ones who approach from among the descendants[g] of Levi to Yahweh to serve him.”
