Ezekiel 40:45-47

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁵ The man said to me, “The room that faces south is for the priests who guard the temple. ⁴⁶ The one that faces north is for the priests who guard the altar. All these priests are the sons of Zadok. They are the only Levites who can approach the Lord to serve him.”

⁴⁷ Then the man measured the courtyard. It was square. It measured 175 feet long and 175 feet wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.
