42:1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.
42:1 Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the chamber which [was] opposite the separate area and opposite the building toward the north.

42:2 Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
42:2 Along the length, [which was] a hundred cubits, [was] the north door; the width [was] fifty cubits.

42:3 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 in the third story.
42:3 Opposite the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, [was] gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories.

42:4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
42:4 And before the chambers [was] an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one [hundred] cubits; and their openings [were] on the north.

42:5 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
42:5 Now the upper chambers [were] smaller because the galleries took more [space] away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.

42:6 For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore (the uppermost) was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
42:6 For they [were] in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore [the upper chambers] were set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.

42:7 And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
42:7 As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length [was] fifty cubits.

42:8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
42:8 For the length of the chambers which [were] in the outer court [was] fifty cubits; and behold, [the length of those] facing the temple [was] a hundred cubits.

42:9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
42:9 And below these chambers [was] the entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.

42:10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
42:10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, facing the separate area and facing the building, [there were] chambers.

42:11 And the way before them was like the appearance of (the way of) the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so as their breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
42:11 And the way in front of them [was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were] on the north, according to their length so was their width; and all their exits [were] both according to their arrangements and openings.

42:12 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
42:12 And corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them.

42:13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.
42:13 Then he said to me, "The north chambers [and] the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.

42:14 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.
42:14 "When the priests enter, then they shall not go out into the outer court from the sanctuary without laying there their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they shall approach that which is for the people."

42:15 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.
42:15 Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faced toward the east, and measured it all around.

42:16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
42:16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.

42:17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
42:17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds by the measuring reed.

42:18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
42:18 On the south side he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

42:19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
42:19 He turned to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

42:20 He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
42:20 He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, the length five hundred and the width five hundred, to divide between the holy and the profane.
