enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side

cubit; and their doors toward the north.

Now the upper
chambers were shorter: for the
galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the
middlemost of the building.
Now the upper
chambers were smaller because the
galleries took more space from the
chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.

And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
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.
On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were
chambers adjoining the
courtyard and opposite the building,
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.
with a
passageway in front of them, just like the
chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
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.
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

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.
Then the man said to me, “The north and south

courtyard are the holy

chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not
transmit holiness to the people with their garments.

After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.

forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the
chambers they renewed, and
