Ezekiel 40:46 Context
44¶ And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the North gate: and their prospect was toward the South, one at the side of the East gate, hauing the prospect toward the North. 45And hee said vnto me; This chamber whose prospect is toward the South, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. 46And the chamber whose prospect is toward the North, is for the priests the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sonnes of Zadok among the sonnes of Leui, which come neere to the Lord to minister vnto him. 47So he measured the court, an hundreth cubites long, and an hundreth cubites broad foure square, and the altar that was before the house. 48¶ And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, fiue cubites on this side, and fiue cubites on that side: and the bredth of the gate was three cubites on this side, and three cubites on that side.
