New King James Version

Ezekiel 42:1-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

2. Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door.

3. Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

4. In front of the chambers, toward the inside, was a walk ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.

5. Now the upper chambers were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle stories of the building.

6. For they were in three stories and did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper level was shortened more than the lower and middle levels from the ground up.

7. And a wall which was outside ran parallel to the chambers, at the front of the chambers, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.
