- chamber:
- This seems to denote a row of chambers in three stories; which appear to have been situated in the inner court (here called the outer court in reference to the temple, "Then saidª° he unto¹ me, The northª chambersª [and] the southª chambers,ª which¹ [are] beforeª¹ the separate place,ª they¹ [be] holyª chambers,ª where¹¹ the priestsª that¹ approachª unto the LORDª shall eatª° the most² holy things:ª there¹ shall they lay²°¹ the most² holy things,ª and the meat offering,ª and the sin offering,ª and the trespass offering;ª for¹ the placeª [is] holy.ª ... When the priestsª enterª° therein, then shall they not¹ go outª° of the holyª¹ [place] into¹ the utterª court,ª but there¹ they shall lay²°¹ their garmentsª wherein¹ they minister;ª° for¹ they¹ [are] holy;ª and shall putª°°° on¹ otherª garments,ª and shall approachª° to¹ [those things] which¹ [are] for the people.ª" {Ezk 42:13-14}), just before the separate place, at the entrance from the north. "And beforeª the chambersª [was] a walkª of tenª cubitsª breadthª inward,ª a wayª of oneª cubit;ª and their doorsª toward the north.ª" {Ezk 42:4} + "The thicknessª of the wall,ª which¹ [was] for the side chamberª without,ª [was] fiveª cubits:ª and [that] which¹ [was] left²°¹ [was] the placeª of the side chambersª that¹ [were] within.ª" {Ezk 41:9} + "Now the buildingª that¹ [was] beforeª¹ the separate placeª at the endª towardª the westª [was] seventyª cubitsª broad;ª and the wallª of the buildingª [was] fiveª cubitsª thickª round about,ª and the lengthª thereof ninetyª cubits.ª ... And he measuredª° the lengthª of the buildingª over againstª¹ the separate placeª which¹ [was] behindª¹ it, and the galleriesª thereof on the one side¹¹ and on the other side,¹¹ an hundredª cubits,ª with the innerª temple,ª and the porchesª of the court;ª" {Ezk 41:12-15}
