Ezekiel 42:13-20

English Standard Version

¹³ Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers opposite ^(A)the yard are the holy chambers, ^(B)where the priests who approach the Lord ^(C)shall eat the ^(D)most holy offerings. There they shall put the most holy offerings—^(E)the grain offering, ^(F)the sin offering, and ^(G)the guilt offering—for the place is holy. ¹⁴ When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court ^(H)without laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. ^(I)They shall put on other garments before they go near to that which is for the people.”

¹⁵ Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by ^(J)the gate that faced east, and measured the temple area all around. ¹⁶ He measured the east side with ^(K)the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. ¹⁷ He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. ¹⁸ He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. ¹⁹ Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. ²⁰ He measured it on the four sides. It had ^(L)a wall around it, ^(M)500 cubits long and ^(N)500 cubits broad, ^(O)to make a separation between the holy and the common.
