Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
Over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery {Or, in three stories}in the third story.

In the thickness of the {Or, fence}wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; {Or, they were as long as they, and as broad as they}according to their length so was their breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
He measured on the east {Hebrew: wind.}side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
He measured on the north {Hebrew: wind.}side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
He measured on the south {Hebrew: wind.}side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
He turned about to the west {Hebrew: wind.}side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
