12. The doors of the south rooms were like the doors of the north rooms. There was a door at the east end of a hall. This hall went to all the rooms.
13. The man said to me, “The north and south rooms across from the Temple courtyard are holy rooms. There the priests who go near the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings: the grain offerings, sin offerings and the penalty offerings.
14. The priests who enter the Holy Place must leave their serving clothes there. Then they may go into the outer courtyard. This is because these clothes are holy. The priests must put on other clothes. Then they may go to the part of the Temple which is for the people.”
15. The man finished measuring inside the Temple. Then he brought me out through the east gate. He measured the area all around.
16. The man measured the east side with the measuring stick. It was 875 feet by the measuring stick.
17. He measured the north side. It was 875 feet by the measuring stick.
18. He measured the south side. It was 875 feet by the measuring stick.
19. He went around to the west side. And it measured 875 feet by the measuring stick.
20. So he measured the Temple on all four sides. The Temple had a wall all around it. It was 875 feet long and 875 feet wide. It separated the holy from that which is not holy.
