26 And p there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

11 And the wayd 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 ch.1.3. doors.

The use thereof.

12 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.

13 T Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where e the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they f lay the most holy things, and the g meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; i for the place is holy.

14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but wherein they minister; for they there they shall lay their garments are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. 16 He measured the east 6 side dred reeds, with the measuringwith the measuring-reed, five hunreed round about.

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

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

19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed. 20 He measured it by the fourm sides: it had a wall n round about, five hundred reeds o long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation p between the sanctuary and the profane place.

12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and 4 caused u the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed:
