and on the outer side, approaching the northern gateway, there were two tables, as well as two tables on the opposite side of the porch in front of the gate.
The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple's side chambers

Then he brought me to the outer, north-facing courtyard into the chamber that stood opposite the structure that was facing north.

The outer wall by the side of the chambers toward the outer court and facing the chambers was 50 cubits long.
While the chambers in the outer court were 50 cubits in length, the chambers facing the Temple were 100 cubits long.
Below these chambers, as one might enter from the outer court, was the east side entrance.

"When they enter the outer courtyard, that is, the outer courtyard where the people are, they are to take off their garments in which they were ministering, lay them in the consecrated chambers, and put on different garments so they will not transfer holiness to the people through their garments.
about which he said, "This is where the priests will be boiling the guilt and sin offerings and baking the grain offerings so they don't bring them through the outer courtyard, thus diminishing the people's holiness."
