Yechezkel 40:44-46

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴⁴ And outside the sha’ar hapenimi were the lishkhot of the sharim (singers) in the khatzer hapenimi, which was at the side of the northern sha’ar; and their view was toward the south; one at the side of the eastern sha’ar having the view toward the north.

⁴⁵ And he [the angelic being] said unto me, This lishka, whose view is toward the south, is for the Kohanim, the Shomrei Mishmeret HaBeis [HaMikdash].

⁴⁶ And the lishka whose view is toward the north is for the Kohanim, the Shomrei Mishmeret HaMizbe’ach; these are the Bnei Tzadok among the Bnei Levi, which come near to Hashem to minister unto Him.
