10. In the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south also, opposite the yard and opposite the building, there were chambers
11. with a passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits and arrangements and doors,
12. as were the entrances of the chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage, the passage before the corresponding wall on the east as one enters them.

There they shall put the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy.
14. When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They shall put on other garments before they go near to that which is for the people.”
