Ezekiel 42:12 — Meaning and Application

The chambers {were} in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.

And the way before them {was} like the appearance of the chambers which {were} toward the north, as long as they, {and} as broad as they: and all their goings out {were} both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

And according to the doors of the chambers that {were} toward the south {was} a door in the head of the way, {even} the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.

Then said he unto me, The north chambers {and} the south chambers, which {are} before the separate place, they {be} holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place {is} holy.

When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy {place} into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they {are} holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to {those things} which {are} for the people.
