Part 40

26:042:003 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.

26:042:004 And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

26:042:005 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.

26:042:006 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.

26:042:007 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.

26:042:008 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.

26:042:009 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.

26:042:010 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.

26:042:011 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.

26:042:012 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.

26:042:013 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.

26:042:014 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.

26:042:015 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.

26:042:016 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

26:042:017 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

26:042:018 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.

26:042:019 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

26:042:020 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.

26:043:001 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

26:043:002 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

26:043:003 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

26:043:004 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

26:043:005 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

26:043:006 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

26:043:007 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

26:043:008 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

26:043:009 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

26:043:010 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
