13. Then he said to me, "The north and south chambers that face the building and the yard are the holy chambers where the priests eat the offerings that have been brought to the Lord. They are most holy. Here they will place the most holy things, the grain offering, the purification offering, and the compensation offering. The place is holy.

16. He used the same measuring rod on all four sides. He measured the east side, seven hundred fifty feet;
17. the north side, seven hundred fifty feet; and
18. the south side, seven hundred fifty feet.
