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.

1 וַיֹּוצִאֵ֗נִי אֶל־הֶֽחָצֵר֙ הַחִ֣יצֹונָ֔ה הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַצָּפֹ֑ון וַיְבִאֵ֣נִי אֶל־הַלִּשְׁכָּ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר נֶ֧גֶד הַגִּזְרָ֛ה וַאֲשֶֽׁר־נֶ֥גֶד הַבִּנְיָ֖ן אֶל־הַצָּפֹֽון׃

2 Before the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

2 אֶל־פְּנֵי־אֹ֙רֶךְ֙ אַמֹּ֣ות הַמֵּאָ֔ה פֶּ֖תַח הַצָּפֹ֑ון וְהָרֹ֖חַב חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמֹּֽות׃

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.

3 נֶ֣גֶד הָֽעֶשְׂרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר֙ לֶחָצֵ֣ר הַפְּנִימִ֔י וְנֶ֣גֶד רִֽצְפָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֶחָצֵ֣ר הַחִֽיצֹונָ֑ה אַתִּ֥יק אֶל־פְּנֵֽי־אַתִּ֖יק בַּשְּׁלִשִֽׁים׃

4 Before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

4 וְלִפְנֵ֨י הַלְּשָׁכֹ֜ות מַהֲלַךְ֩ עֶ֨שֶׂר אַמֹּ֥ות רֹ֙חַב֙ אֶל־הַפְּנִימִ֔ית דֶּ֖רֶךְ אַמָּ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת וּפִתְחֵיהֶ֖ם לַצָּפֹֽון׃

5 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.

5 וְהַלְּשָׁכֹ֥ות הָעֶלְיֹונֹ֖ת קְצֻרֹ֑ות כִּֽי־יֹוכְל֨וּ אַתִּיקִ֜ים מֵהֵ֗נָה מֵֽהַתַּחְתֹּנֹ֛ות וּמֵהַתִּֽכֹנֹ֖ות בִּנְיָֽן׃

6 For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.

6 כִּ֤י מְשֻׁלָּשֹׁות֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְאֵ֤ין לָהֶן֙ עַמּוּדִ֔ים כְּעַמּוּדֵ֖י הַחֲצֵרֹ֑ות עַל־כֵּ֣ן נֶאֱצַ֗ל מֵהַתַּחְתֹּונֹ֛ות וּמֵהַתִּֽיכֹנֹ֖ות מֵהָאָֽרֶץ׃

7 The wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.

7 וְגָדֵ֤ר אֲשֶׁר־לַחוּץ֙ לְעֻמַּ֣ת הַלְּשָׁכֹ֔ות דֶּ֛רֶךְ הֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחִֽצֹונָ֖ה אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַלְּשָׁכֹ֑ות אָרְכֹּ֖ו חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמָּֽה׃

8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, behold, before the temple were one hundred cubits.

8 כִּֽי־אֹ֣רֶךְ הַלְּשָׁכֹ֗ות אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחִֽצֹונָ֖ה חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אַמָּ֑ה וְהִנֵּ֛ה עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַהֵיכָ֖ל מֵאָ֥ה אַמָּֽה׃

9 From under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

9 וּמִתַּחֲתָה לְּשָׁכֹות וּמִתַּ֖חַת הַלְּשָׁכֹ֣ות הָאֵ֑לֶּה הַמָּבֹוא הַמֵּבִיא֙ מֵֽהַקָּדִ֔ים בְּבֹאֹ֣ו לָהֵ֔נָּה מֵֽהֶחָצֵ֖ר הַחִצֹנָֽה׃

10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.

10 בְּרֹ֣חַב׀ גֶּ֣דֶר הֶחָצֵ֗ר דֶּ֧רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֛ים אֶל־פְּנֵ֧י הַגִּזְרָ֛ה וְאֶל־פְּנֵ֥י הַבִּנְיָ֖ן לְשָׁכֹֽות׃

11 The way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

11 וְדֶ֙רֶךְ֙ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם כְּמַרְאֵ֣ה הַלְּשָׁכֹ֗ות אֲשֶׁר֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַצָּפֹ֔ון כְּאָרְכָּ֖ן כֵּ֣ן רָחְבָּ֑ן וְכֹל֙ מֹוצָ֣אֵיהֶ֔ן וּכְמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶ֖ן וּכְפִתְחֵיהֶֽן׃

12 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 enters into them.

12 וּכְפִתְחֵ֣י הַלְּשָׁכֹ֗ות אֲשֶׁר֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַדָּרֹ֔ום פֶּ֖תַח בְּרֹ֣אשׁ דָּ֑רֶךְ דֶּ֗רֶךְ בִּפְנֵי֙ הַגְּדֶ֣רֶת הֲגִינָ֔ה דֶּ֥רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֖ים בְּבֹואָֽן׃

13 Then said he to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests who are near to Yahweh 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.

13 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י לִֽשְׁכֹ֨ות הַצָּפֹ֜ון לִֽשְׁכֹ֣ות הַדָּרֹום֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַגִּזְרָה֒ הֵ֣נָּה׀ לִֽשְׁכֹ֣ות הַקֹּ֗דֶשׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֹאכְלוּ־שָׁ֧ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־קְרֹובִ֥ים לַֽיהוָ֖ה קָדְשֵׁ֣י הַקֳּדָשִׁ֑ים שָׁ֞ם יַנִּ֣יחוּ׀ קָדְשֵׁ֣י הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים וְהַמִּנְחָה֙ וְהַחַטָּ֣את וְהָאָשָׁ֔ם כִּ֥י הַמָּקֹ֖ום קָדֹֽשׁ׃

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 in which they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people.

14 בְּבֹאָ֣ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים וְלֹֽא־יֵצְא֤וּ מֵהַקֹּ֙דֶשׁ֙ אֶל־הֶחָצֵ֣ר הַחִיצֹונָ֔ה וְשָׁ֞ם יַנִּ֧יחוּ בִגְדֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־יְשָׁרְת֥וּ בָהֶ֖ן כִּֽי־קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֑נָּה יִלְבְּשׁוּ וְלָבְשׁוּ֙ בְּגָדִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וְקָרְב֖וּ אֶל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָעָֽם׃

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.

15 וְכִלָּ֗ה אֶת־מִדֹּות֙ הַבַּ֣יִת הַפְּנִימִ֔י וְהֹוצִיאַ֙נִי֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַשַּׁ֔עַר אֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּנָ֖יו דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֑ים וּמְדָדֹ֖ו סָבִ֥יב׀ סָבִֽיב׃

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

16 מָדַ֛ד ר֥וּחַ הַקָּדִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֣ה הַמִּדָּ֑ה חֲמֵשׁ־ אֵמֹות מֵאֹ֥ות קָנִ֛ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃

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

17 מָדַ֖ד ר֣וּחַ הַצָּפֹ֑ון חֲמֵשׁ־מֵאֹ֥ות קָנִ֛ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃

18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

18 אֵ֛ת ר֥וּחַ הַדָּרֹ֖ום מָדָ֑ד חֲמֵשׁ־מֵאֹ֥ות קָנִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּֽה׃

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

19 סָבַ֖ב אֶל־ר֣וּחַ הַיָּ֑ם מָדַ֛ד חֲמֵשׁ־מֵאֹ֥ות קָנִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּֽה׃

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.

20 לְאַרְבַּ֨ע רוּחֹ֜ות מְדָדֹ֗ו חֹ֤ומָה לֹו֙ סָבִ֣יב׀ סָבִ֔יב אֹ֚רֶךְ חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵאֹ֔ות וְרֹ֖חַב חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵאֹ֑ות לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַקֹּ֖דֶשׁ לְחֹֽל׃
