Ezekiel 40:44-47
New International Version
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)

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.”
