44 From the outside to the (A)inner gate were [a](B)chambers for the (C)singers in the inner courtyard, one of which was at the [b]side of the north gate, with [c]its front toward the south, and one at the [d]side of the [e]south gate facing north. 45 Then he said to me, “This is the (D)chamber which faces south, intended for the priests who [f]are (E)responsible for the [g]temple; 46 but the (F)chamber which faces north is for the priests who [h]are (G)responsible for the altar. They are the (H)sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi (I)come near to the Lord to serve Him.”
