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.

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.

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.
