He took me out to the north, to the outer courtyard, and then led me into the Holy House. This sacred house runs in a row along the open space, facing the house on the paved stone ground to the north.

This holy house is one hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with a door facing north.

Facing the twenty cubit wide open space in the inner courtyard and the paved area in the outer courtyard, there is a corridor on the third floor facing the corridor.

There is a narrow path in front of the Holy House, ten cubits wide and one hundred cubits long. The doors all face north.

The Holy House has a narrower upper floor than the middle and lower floors because the corridors take up some space.

The holy house has three floors but no pillars, unlike the houses in the outer courtyard that have pillars. So the upper layer is narrower than the middle and lower layers.

Outside the Holy House, there is a wall to the east, leaning against the outer courtyard, which is fifty cubits long.

The holy house leaning against the outer courtyard is fifty cubits long. The holy house to the north of the temple is one hundred cubits long.

Below the Holy House, there is an entrance at the east end, which is the entrance from the outer courtyard.

To the south, there is a sacred house within the inner courtyard wall, with one row facing the stone paved house and the other following the open space.

The aisle in front of this holy house is the same length and width as the aisle in the north holy house. The style of the entrance and exit is the same as that of the North Gate.

In front of the wall, at the east end of the aisle, there is a door that allows entry, just like the door of the south facing holy house.

He told me that the southern and northern houses along the open space are all sacred houses. Priests who are close to the Lord shall eat the most holy things there, and shall put the most holy things there, which are the meat offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering: therefore the place shall be holy.

When the priests enter and leave the sanctuary, they shall not go to the outer court, but they shall put down the clothes of their service in the holy house, because they are holy garments. You need to wear other clothes before you can go to the outer courtyard of the people.

After measuring the inner hall, he took me out of the gate facing east and measured the surroundings of the courtyard.

He measured the circumference with a measuring rod, measuring five hundred cubits on the east side,

Measure 500 cubits north with a rod,

Measure 500 cubits south with a rod,

Turning to the west, measure five hundred cubits with a rod.

He measured on all four sides, with walls around him, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to distinguish between the holy land and the secular land.
