1 And he brought me into the [²courtyard ¹outer], according to the east, opposite of the gate of the one towards the north. And he brought me, and behold, [²inner chambers ¹there were five] being next to the space left over, and next to the place separating near the north, 2 [²cubits ¹a hundred] in length towards the north, and the breadth [²cubits ¹fifty], 3 being diagramed in which manner the gates of the [²courtyard ¹inner], and in which manner the peristyles of the [²courtyard ¹outer], were being set in rows facing [²stoas ¹three rank]. 4 And over against the inner chambers was a promenade [²cubits ¹ten] width by [²cubits ¹a hundred] in length, for the inner way [²cubit ¹one]; and their doorways towards the north. 5 And the [²promenades ¹upper] were likewise; for [³protruded ¹the ²peristyle] from out of it, from out of the [²beneath ¹peristyle], and the interval; thus a peristyle and an interval and thus. 6 For they were triple, and [³columns ¹they did not ²have] as the columns of the inner chambers; on account of this they protruded from the ones beneath, and the ones in the middle from the ground. 7 And the doorway outside in which manner the inner chambers of the courtyard of the one outside, the ones looking before the inner chambers of the ones towards the north -- [³in length ²cubits ¹fifty]. 8 For the length of the inner chambers of the ones looking into the [²courtyard ¹outer] -- [²cubits ¹fifty]; and these are the ones facing these others. The whole [²cubits ¹was a hundred]. 9 And the doors of these inner chambers of the entrance of the one towards the east is for one to enter through them from the [²courtyard ¹outer] 10 according to the light opening of the one at the beginning of the promenade; and towards the south, and the face of the south according to the face of the space left over, and according to the face of the space separating, and the inner chambers. 11 And the promenade in front of them, was according to the measures of the inner chambers of the ones towards the north; and according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their exits, and according to their lights, and according to their doorways 12 of the inner chambers of the ones towards the south; according to the doorways at the beginning of the promenade upon a light interval of a reed according to the east of the entering them. 13 And he said to me, The inner chambers, the ones towards the north, and the inner chambers, the ones towards the south, being in front of the intervals, these are the inner chambers of the holy place, in which [⁶eat ⁷there ¹the ²priests ³approaching ⁴to ⁵the lord], the holy things of the holies; and there they shall put the holy things of the holies, and the sacrifice offering, and the things for a sin offering, and the things for an ignorance offering; because the place is holy. 14 There shall not enter there except the priests, and they shall not come forth from out of the holy place into the [²courtyard ¹outer], so that [⁴always ⁶holy ³might ⁵be ¹the ones ²leading forward]; so that they should not touch their uniform in which they officiate in them, for it is holy, and they shall put on [²garments ¹other] whenever they should touch the people.
