And he said to me: "The storerooms of the north, and the storerooms of the south, which are before the separate edifice, these are holy storerooms, in which the priests, who draw near to the Lord in the Holy of Holies, shall eat. There they shall station the Holy of Holies, and the offering for sin, and for trespasses. For it is a holy place.
14. And when the priests will have entered, they shall not depart from the holy places into the outer court. And in that place, they shall set their vestments, in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall be clothed with other vestments, and in this manner they shall go forth to the people."
15. And when he had completed measuring the inner house, he led me out along the way of the gate that looked toward the way of the east. And he measured it on every side all around.
16. Then he measured facing the east wind with the measuring reed: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
17. And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
18. And toward the south wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
19. And toward the west wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
