was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly
before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
042:013 Then said he to me, The north chambers and the south chambers,
which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers,
where the priests who are near to Yahweh shall eat the most
holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the
meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering;
for the place is holy.
042:014 When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of
the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay
their garments in which they minister; for they are holy:
and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach
to that which pertains to the people.
042:015 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house,
he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect
is toward the east, and measured it round about.
042:016 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five
hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
042:017 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring
reed round about.
042:018 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with
the measuring reed.

and the earth shined with his glory.
043:003 It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw,
even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy
the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw
by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
043:004 The glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate
whose prospect is toward the east.
043:005 The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court;
and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house.

stood by me.
043:007 He said to me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne,
and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will
