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.”

47 And he measured the courtyard as to its length, a hundred cubits,[h] and a hundred cubits[i] wide, squared, and the altar is in front of[j] the temple.

Common English Bible
44 Outside the inner gate there were two[a] chambers in the inner courtyard. The one beside the north gate faced south, and the one beside the east gate faced north. 45 He spoke to me: “The chamber facing south is for the priests who keep watch over the temple, 46 and the chamber facing north is for the priests who keep watch over the altar. Of all the Levites, only the Zadokites may draw near to serve the Lord.” 47 Then he measured the courtyard. It was square, one hundred fifty feet long and one hundred fifty feet wide. The altar was in front of the temple.
