Yehezkiel 40:17

40:17 Then he brought me to the outer court. I saw ¹  chambers there, and a pavement made for the court all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement.

Yehezkiel 42:7

42:7 As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, it was 87½ feet ²  long.

Yehezkiel 40:38

40:38 There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; ³  there they washed the burnt offering.

Yehezkiel 42:13

42:13 Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers which face the courtyard are holy chambers where the priests ⁴  who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings – the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, because the place is holy.

Yehezkiel 40:45

40:45 He said to me, “This chamber which faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple, ⁵ 

Yehezkiel 41:10

41:10 and the chambers of the court was 35 feet ⁶  in width all around the temple on every side.

Yehezkiel 42:5

42:5 Now the upper chambers were narrower, because the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.

Yehezkiel 42:9-10

42:9 Below these chambers was a passage on the east side as one enters from the outer court.

42:10 At the beginning ⁷  of the wall of the court toward the south, ⁸  facing the courtyard and the building, were chambers

Yehezkiel 40:46

40:46 and the chamber which faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the descendants of Zadok, from the descendants of Levi, who may approach the Lord to minister to him.”

Yehezkiel 42:1

Chambers for the Temple

42:1 Then he led me out to the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and opposite the building on the north.

Yehezkiel 42:4

42:4 In front of the chambers was a walkway on the inner side, 17½ feet ⁹  wide at a distance of 1¾ feet, ¹⁰  and their entrances were on the north.

Yehezkiel 42:8

42:8 For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet ¹¹  long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet ¹²  long.

Yehezkiel 42:11-12

42:11 with a passage in front of them. They looked like the chambers on the north. Of the same length and width, and all their exits according to their arrangements and entrances 42:12 were the chambers ¹³  which were toward the south. There was an opening at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east when one enters.

Yehezkiel 45:5

45:5 An area eight and a quarter miles ¹⁴  in length and three and one-third miles ¹⁵  in width will be for the Levites, who minister at the temple, as the place for the cities ¹⁶  in which they will live.

Yehezkiel 40:44

40:44 On the outside of the inner gate were chambers for the singers of the inner court, one ¹⁷  at the side of the north gate facing south, and the other at the side of the south ¹⁸  gate facing north.

Yehezkiel 44:19

44:19 When they go out to the outer court to the people, they must remove the garments they were ministering in, and place them in the holy chambers; they must put on other garments so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments. ¹⁹ 

Yehezkiel 46:19

46:19 Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests which faced north. There I saw ²⁰  a place at the extreme western end.

¹ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

² tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

³ tc The MT reads “jambs of the gates” which does not make sense in a context discussing one chamber. The emendation to “porch” is similar to v. 14. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:530.

⁴ sn The priests are from the Zadokite family (Ezek 40:6; 44:15).

⁵ tn Heb “the house.”

⁶ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (i.e., 10.5 meters).

⁷ tc The reading is supported by the LXX.

⁸ tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

⁹ tn Heb “ten cubits” (i.e., 5.25 meters).

¹⁰ tc Heb “one cubit” (i.e., 52.5 cm). The LXX and the Syriac read “one hundred cubits” (= 175 feet).

¹¹ tn Heb “fifty cubits” (i.e., 26.25 meters).

¹² tn Heb “one hundred cubits” (i.e., 52.5 meters).

¹³ tc The MT apparently evidences dittography, repeating most of the last word of the previous verse: “and like the openings of.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

¹⁵ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

¹⁶ tc The translation follows the LXX here. The MT reads “twenty.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:246.

¹⁷ tn “One” is not in the Hebrew text but is supplied for clarity in the translation.

¹⁸ tc This reading is supported by the LXX; the MT reads “east.”

¹⁹ sn For a similar concept of the transmitting of holiness, see Exod 19:12-14; Lev 10:1-2; 2 Sam 6:7. Similar laws concerning the priest are found in Lev 10 and 21.
