Rooms for Priests and Other Worship Leaders

44 And on the outside of the inner gate, there were chambers for[a] singers in the inner courtyard, which was to the side of the north gate, and their faces[b] were to the south[c] with respect to one, and on the side of the east gate one facing to the north. 45 And he said to me, “This chamber with its face toward the south[d] is for the priests who are taking care of the responsibility of the temple. 46 And the chamber with its face to the north[e] is for the priests who are taking care of the responsibility of the altar. They are the descendants[f] of Zadok, the ones who approach from among the descendants[g] of Levi to Yahweh to serve him.”
