'Room' in the Bible
A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.
He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;
and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.
The side rooms were broader as they encompassed [the house] higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher around the house: therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [room] to the highest by the middle [room].
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the room that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.
