Today is the 21st day of November. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian. It is wonderful to be here with you around the global campfire as we continue day by day.

This is that week where at least in my life, Thanksgiving week in the United States doesn't necessarily mean something to everybody all over the world, but it's pretty major holiday here in the United States.

And then that's always on another day, right? And then the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday and it's on all the way on the holiday season is upon us.

Here we are and I am especially grateful that we have the global campfire that there is this kind of constant, this place that we can gather this oasis of peace that we can come into and just allow those scriptures to wash into our lives.

And it kind of be together and at least have this place of serenity. Everything else can be a little bit chaotic, but not that we want it that way, but things can be chaotic, but we at least have an oasis that we can come to each day and feast upon the scriptures and enjoy the fact that we are not alone.

We are in this together with our brothers and sisters all over the world. So it's wonderful to be here at the global campfire with you today.

And let's do what we do. Let's take the next step forward together. Next step forward leads us back out into the book of Ezekiel, or reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week. Ezekiel, chapters 42 and 43 today.

Then the man led me out by way of the Northgate into the outer court. He brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple yard and opposite the building to the north.

Along the length of the chambers, which was 175 feet, there was an entrance on the north, the width was 87 and a half feet. Opposite the 35 foot space belonging to the inner court and opposite the paved surface belonging to the outer court, the structure rose gallery by gallery in three tiers.

In front of the chambers was a walkway toward the inside, 17 and a half feet wide and 175 feet long, and their entrances were on the north.

The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.

For they were arranged in three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts. Therefore, the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and middle stories.

A wall on the outside ran in front of the chambers, parallel to them toward the outer court. It was 87 and a half feet long.

For the chambers on the outer court were 87 and a half feet long, while those facing the great hall were 175 feet long.

At the base of these chambers, there was an entryway on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the temple yard and the western building, with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north.

Their length and width as well as all their exits, measurements and entrances were identical.

The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side, and the man said to me.

The northern and southern chambers that faced the court yard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings.

There they will deposit the most holy offerings, the grain offerings, sin offerings and guilt offerings, for the place is holy.

Once the priests have entered, they are not to go out from the holy area to the outer court until they have removed the clothes they minister in. For these are holy.

They are to put on other clothes before they approach the public area.
