Now the building that was before the separate place at the end
toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the
building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof
ninety cubits. So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and
the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an
hundred cubits long; also the breadth of the face of the house, and
of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. And he
measured the length of the building over against the separate place
which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and
on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the
porches of the court (verses 12-15).
Here a new building comes into view which is behind the temple building
toward the West. Its dimensions are seventy cubits broad, ninety cubits
long and the wall is five cubits in thickness round about. The use of
this building is not stated. Its use is probably for the disposal of the
refuse from the sacrifices and other unclean things. No other
description is given of this hinder building, this separate place.
Verses 12 and 14 give the total measurement of the house, a hundred
cubits, which is the total of the previously given measures.
