Ezekiel

Ezekiel 42:1-14

These 3 stories of chambers are along the wall separating the inner and outer court on the north side.  They are accessed from the outer court on the east side of the structure.  The priests chambers were for the priests to eat their holy offerings.  This was their provision from the Lord.  These were combination dining room and changing room.  This is where t hey changed from their ministry clothes, fit for the holy place of the inner court, to their every day clothes they wore outside the temple. 

Ezekiel 42:15-20

The temple complex was measured as 500 cubits square or 875 ft on all four sides.  This covers 17.5 acres of land.  This is larger than Solomon's complex.
