Ezekiel 42:14

The above principle was also true about many other things, for example, the priests’ *holy clothes. Ezekiel 44:17-19 contains the rules about these clothes. The priests had to wear special clothes when they carried out their duties in the inner area. But the priest could not wear the same clothes when he was among the people in the outer area. He had to change his clothes. And he had to leave his special clothes in the *holy buildings.

The size of the *temple area – Ezekiel 42:15-20

v15 When the man had measured the *temple area, he led me out by the east gate. He measured all round the area there. v16 He measured the east side with the stick. It was 500 *cubits long. v17 He measured the north side with the stick. It was 500 *cubits long. v18 He measured the south side with the stick. It was 500 *cubits long. v19 Then he turned to the west side and he measured it with the stick. It was 500 *cubits long. v20 So, he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all round it. The wall was 500 *cubits long and 500 *cubits wide. The wall separated the *holy area from the ordinary land.
