42:1 他帶我出來向北，到外院，又帶我進入聖屋；這聖屋一排順著空地，一排與北邊鋪石地之屋相對。
42:2 這聖屋長一百肘，寬五十肘，有向北的門。
42:3 對著內院那二十肘寬之空地，又對著外院的鋪石地，在第三層樓上有樓廊對著樓廊。
42:4 在聖屋前有一條夾道，寬十肘，長一百肘。房門都向北。
42:5 聖屋因為樓廊佔去些地方，所以上層比中下兩層窄些。
42:6 聖屋有三層，卻無柱子，不像外院的屋子有柱子；所以上層比中下兩層更窄。
42:7 聖屋外，東邊有牆，靠著外院，長五十肘。
42:8 靠著外院的聖屋長五十肘。殿北面的聖屋長一百肘。
42:9 在聖屋以下，東頭有進入之處，就是從外院進入之處。
42:10 向南（原文是東）在內院牆裡有聖屋，一排與鋪石地之屋相對，一排順著空地。
42:11 這聖屋前的夾道與北邊聖屋的夾道長寬一樣；出入之處與北屋門的樣式相同。
42:12 正在牆前、夾道的東頭，有門可以進入，與向南聖屋的門一樣。
42:13 他對我說：「順著空地的南屋北屋，都是聖屋；親近耶和華的祭司當在那裡吃至聖的物，也當在那裡放至聖的物，就是素祭、贖罪祭，和贖愆祭，因此處為聖。
42:14 祭司進去出了聖所的時候，不可直到外院，但要在聖屋放下他們供職的衣服，因為是聖衣；要穿上別的衣服才可以到屬民的外院。」
42:15 他量完了內殿，就帶我出朝東的門，量院的四圍。
42:16 他用量度的竿量四圍，量東面五百肘（原文是竿；本章下同），
42:17 用竿量北面五百肘，
42:18 用竿量南面五百肘，
42:19 又轉到西面，用竿量五百肘。
42:20 他量四面，四圍有牆，長五百肘，寬五百肘，為要分別聖地與俗地。
Then he led me out into the outer court,
toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers that were opposite the
separate yard and opposite the building on the north. The length of the building whose door faced
north was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits. Facing the twenty cubits that belonged to the
inner court, and facing the pavement that belonged to the outer court, was
gallery against gallery in three stories.
And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a
hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north. Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the
galleries took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers of
the building. For they were in three
stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courts. Thus the upper
chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle
ones. And there was a wall outside
parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty
cubits long. For the chambers on the
outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the nave were a
hundred cubits long. Below these
chambers was an entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer
court.
In
the thickness of the wall of the court, on the south also, opposite the yard
and opposite the building, there were chambers
with a passage in front of them. They were similar to the chambers on
the north, of the same length and breadth, with the same exits and arrangements
and doors, as were the entrances of the
chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage,
the passage before the corresponding wall on the east as one enters them.
Then he said to me, “The north
chambers and the south chambers opposite the yard are the holy chambers, where
the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings. There they
shall put the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the
guilt offering—for the place is holy.
When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into
the outer court without laying there the garments in which they minister, for
these are holy. They shall put on other garments before they go near to that
which is for the people.”
Now
when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out
by the gate that faced east, and measured the temple area all around. He measured the east side with the measuring
reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around. He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the
measuring reed all around. He measured
the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed. Then he turned to the west side and measured,
500 cubits by the measuring reed. He
measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, 500 cubits long and 500
cubits broad, to make a separation between the holy and the common.

在這裡讓我們看見聖殿裡的一切是聖的，連衣服也是。因為聖就是有分別的意思！祭司在聖殿裡要吃聖的食物：吃至聖的物，也當在那裡放至聖的物，就是素祭、贖罪祭，和贖愆祭，因此處為聖。祭司進去出了聖所的時候，不可直到外院，但要在聖屋放下他們供職的衣服，因為是聖衣；要穿上別的衣服才可以到屬民的外院。
同樣，我們成為基督徒也要和別人有所分別，就是我們必須不可以效法這個世界，要心意更新而變化！正如別人可以用「街頭運動」來抗爭，為自己爭權利，或是反抗執政者。但是基督徒是代表上帝，就必須用上帝給我們的法則來處理這樣的情形。因為「因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰（原文是摔跤；下同），乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的，以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。」（以弗所書6:12）
因此，我們必須用禱告，並倚靠基督的方式得力！我們是要與魔鬼征戰，從魔鬼手中將人拯救出來！而勝過魔鬼的，就是藉耶穌基督在十字架上的死，流出寶血！所以，我們不要去用世上的抗爭方式，因為世人是與看的見的相爭，我們是與內看不見的惡者相爭，是不同的！
