1 Tad viņš izveda mani ārējā pagalmā un tad virzienā uz ziemeļiem, un pieveda mani pie mazajām telpām, kas atradās pretī pagalma laukumam un pretī pakaļējai ēkai virzienā uz ziemeļiem. 2 To garums bija simts olekšu un platums piecdesmit olekšu. 3 Pretī tām divdesmit olektīm, kas bija iekšējam pagalmam, un pretī tam akmeņu segumam, kas bija ārējam pagalmam, gāja divas stabu ailes trijos stāvos. 4 Mazo telpu priekšpusē bija desmit olekšu plata un simts olekšu gara eja; no šīs ejas durvis bija virzienā uz ziemeļiem. 5 Augšējās mazās telpas bija šaurākas nekā apakšējās un vidējās, jo stabu ailes sašaurināja telpu. 6 Mazajām telpām arī bija trīs stāvi, bet tām nebija stabu līdzīgi stabiem ārējā pagalmā; tāpēc bija sašaurinātas apakšējās un vidējās telpas. 7 Tur bija gan vēl mūris, kas gar telpu ārpusi gāja līdzās uz ārējo pagalmu, tā garums bija piecdesmit olekšu. 8 Telpu garums, cik tālu tās izgāja uz ārējo pagalmu, bija piecdesmit olekšu, bet to kopējais garums, kas bija vērsts pret svētnīcu, bija simts olekšu. 9 Zem šīm telpām bija ieeja no rītu puses, nākot no ārējā pagalma, 10 kur sākās ārējā pagalma mūris. Uz dienvidiem ierobežotā laukuma priekšā un pie pakaļējās ēkas arī bija telpas un to priekšā 11 ceļš; šīs telpas bija tādas pašas kā ziemeļpusē, tikpat garas un platas, un to ieeja un iekārta bija tāda pati; 12 tādas pašas bija arī ieejas telpas, kas atradās pret dienvidiem, - ieeja ceļa sākumā, kurš veda uz ārējo pagalmu pret austrumiem, pa kurieni varēja ienākt. 13 Tad viņš man sacīja: "Telpas ziemeļu pusē un telpas dienvidu pusē, kas atrodas ierobežotā laukuma priekšā, ir svētas telpas, kur priesteri, kas drīkst tuvoties Tam Kungam, ēd svētītās upura dāvanas; tur tiem jānoliek svētītās dāvanas, ēdamais upuris, grēku upuris un nozieguma upuris, jo tā vieta ir svēta. 14 Kad priesteri te ienāk - viņi nedrīkst iziet no svētnīcas tieši ārējā pagalmā, - tiem jānoliek vispirms savas drēbes, kurās tie kalpojuši, jo tās ir svētas. Tiem jāuzvelk citas drēbes, un tikai tad viņi var iziet tautai paredzētās telpās." 15 Un, kad viņš bija pabeidzis mērīt Tempļa iekšpusi, viņš mani veda virzienā uz vārtiem, kuru priekšpuse bija vērsta pret rītu pusi, un viņš izmērīja visu apjomu. 16 Viņš izmērīja mūra rītu pusi ar mērkoku - pieci simti mēru pavisam. 17 Tad viņš pagriezās uz ziemeļu pusi - pieci simti mēru pavisam. Tad viņš apgāja apkārt 18 un mērīja dienvidu pusi - pieci simti mēru pavisam. 19 Tad viņš griezās uz vakaru pusi un mērīja - pieci simti mēru. 20 Viņš to mērīja no visām četrām pusēm. Visapkārt bija mūris, tā garums pieci simti mēru un platums pieci simti mēru, lai atšķirtu svēto telpu no nesvētās.
1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north. 2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories . 4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. 5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. 6 For they were in three stories , but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 7 And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits. 9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court. 10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building. 11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors. 12 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
13 ¶ Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. 14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.
15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. 16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19 ¶ He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
