8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And the length of those before the temple was a hundred cubits.
9 From under these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one goes into them from the outer court.
10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate yard and opposite the building,
11 with a passage in front of them; they were like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, of the same length and width. And all their exits and arrangements were according to plan.
12 Corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south was a door at the head of the passage way, the passage way directly in front of the wall toward the east.
13 Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eatthe most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy.
14 When the priests enter it, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall put on other garments, and shall approach those things which are for the people.”
