4. And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits width toward the inside, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.
5. Now the upper chambers were narrower: for the galleries took more space away from these, than from the lower, and the middle chambers of the building.
6. For they were in three stories, but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore the upper chambers were narrowed, more than the lower and the middle chambers from the ground.
7. And the wall that was outside, opposite the chambers, toward the outer court at the front of the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.
8. For the length of the chambers that were on the outer court was fifty cubits: while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits.
9. And below these chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
10. There were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate courtyard, and opposite the building.
11. And the walk was before them, and they were like the appearance of the chambers which were facing the north, as long as they, and as wide as they: and all their exits were according to their plans, as were their doors.
12. And like the doors of the chambers that were facing the south there was a door in front of the walk, even the walk directly in front of the wall facing the east, as one enters them.
13. Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate courtyard, they are holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the grain offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
