Ezekiel 42

Ezekiel's guide measures priestly chambers in the outer court north and south of the temple, three stories high with galleries, designated for priests to eat most holy offerings like grain, sin, and guilt offerings and to change garments to maintain holiness.[1][2][3] The temple area is then measured as a square of 500 cubits per side, enclosed by a wall to separate the holy from the common.[1][2]
