4.
And before the rooms, toward the inside, was a walk ten cubits wide, a way of one cubit. And their doors were to the north.

And the upper rooms were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle levels of the building.

And he said to me, 'The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the set-apart rooms where the priests who approach YHWH eat the most set-apart offerings. There they place the most set-apart items, and the grain offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering, for the place is set-apart.
14.
'When the priests enter, they are not to go out of the set-apart room into the outer courtyard, but leave their garments in which they attend there, for they are set-apart, and shall put on other garments and shall draw near to that which is for the people.'

He turned round to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.
