Nehemiah 13:5
5prepared for Tobiah a large chamber where they had previously put the grain offering, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of grain, wine, and oil, awhich were given by commandment to the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, and the contributions for the priests.Nehemiah 13:8-9
8And I was very angry, and I threw all the household furniture of Tobiah out of the chamber. 9Then I gave orders, and they bcleansed the chambers, and I brought back there the vessels of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.Ezekiel 40:7-13
7And cthe side rooms, one reed long and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed. 8Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed. 9Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; dand its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end. 10And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate. eThe three were of the same size, and the jambs on either side were of the same size. 11Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits. 12There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side. And the side rooms were six cubits on either side. 13Then he measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; the openings faced each other.Ezekiel 40:16
16And the gateway had fwindows all around, narrowing inwards toward the side rooms and toward their gjambs, and likewise the vestibule had windows all around inside, and on the jambs were hpalm trees.Ezekiel 41:5-11
5Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of ithe side chambers, four cubits, jall around the temple. 6And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, kthirty in each story. There were offsets ▼▼Septuagint, compare 1 Kings 6:6; the meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain
all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, mso that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple. 7And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and nso one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story. 8I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of osix long cubits. 9The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. pThe free space between the side chambers of the temple and the 10 qother chambers was a breadth of rtwenty cubits all around the temple on every side. 11And the doors of the sside chambers opened on tthe free space, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. And the breadth of the free space was five cubits all around. Ezekiel 42:4-13
4And ubefore the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and va hundred cubits long, ▼▼Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew and a way of one cubit
and xtheir doors were on the north. 5Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building. 6For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courts. Thus the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones. 7And ythere was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, zfifty cubits long. 8For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite aathe nave ▼▼Or temple
were aca hundred cubits long. 9Below these chambers was adan entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court. 10In the thickness of aethe wall of the court, on the south ▼
▼Septuagint; Hebrew east
also, opposite agthe yard and opposite ahthe building, there were aichambers 11with aja passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits ▼▼Hebrew and all their exits
and arrangements and aldoors, 12as were the entrances of the chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage, the passage before amthe corresponding wall on the east as one enters them. ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain
13Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers opposite aothe yard are the holy chambers, apwhere the priests who approach the Lord aqshall eat the armost holy offerings. There they shall put the most holy offerings— asthe grain offering, atthe sin offering, and authe guilt offering—for the place is holy.
