19Then he took me through the entrance into the holy rooms for the priests that were located on the north side of the temple, beside the north gatehouse.

21Then he brought me out to the outer courtyard and led me past the four corners of the courtyard. I saw there was a court at each corner of the courtyard—a court in each corner of the courtyard.[#46:21 Many translations omit the repetition of the final words. The double phrase is the equivalent of each and every .]
22In the four corners of the courtyard were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide—the same measurement for each of the four of them.[#46:22 The meaning of this word is uncertain.; #46:22 About 70 feet by 52 feet; #46:22 The last word in the Hebrew text of verse 22 is marked for omission by delete marks written in the Hebrew text. The translation omits this word.]
