Eze 42:6

Eze 42:6For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

Eze 42:12

Eze 42:12And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

Eze 42:13

Eze 42:13And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

Eze 42:14

Eze 42:14When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.
