Matthew's Bible 1537
| 42:1 | Then caryed he me out in to the fore court towarde the north, & brought me in to the chambre that stode ouer agaynst the backebuyldynge north warde, |
| 42:2 | which had the length of an .C. cubytes whose dore turned toward the north. The wydenesse conteyned .C. cubites: |
| 42:3 | ouer agaynst the .xx. cubites of the ynnermer courte, and agaynst the paued worke that was in the fore court. Besyde all these thre, therestode pylers, one ouer agaynst another: |
| 42:4 | And before thys chambre there was a walkynge place of .x. cubites wyde, and within was a waye of one cubite wyde, & their dores towarde the north. |
| 42:5 | Thus the hyest chambres were allwaye narower then the loweste and myddell moste of the buylding: |
| 42:6 | for they bare chambre vpon chambre, and stode thre together one vpon another not hauynge pilers lyke the fore courte: therfore were they smaller then those beneth and in the myddeste, to reken from the grounde vpwarde. |
| 42:7 | The wall with out that stode by the chambres towarde the vtter moste courte vpon the fore syde of the chambres, was .C. cubytes longe: |
| 42:8 | for the length of the vttemost chambres in the fore courte was .C. cubytes also: but the length therof before the temple was an .C. cubytes. |
| 42:9 | These chambres had vnder them an intraunce of the east syde, wherby a man myght go in to them out of the fore courte, |
| 42:10 | thorow the thicke wall of the fore courte towarde the east, right ouer agaynst the separated buyldinge. |
| 42:11 | Before the same buyldynge vpon thys syde there were chambers also whych had awaye vnto them, lyke as the chambers on the north syde of the same length and wydenesse. Their intraunce, fashyon and dores were also of the same maner. |
| 42:12 | Yee euen lyke as the other chamber dores were, so were those also of the south syd. And before the waye toward the fingers steppes on the east side, there stode a dore to go in at. |
| 42:13 | Then sayde he vnto me: The chambers towarde the north and the south whych stande before the backe buyldynge: those be holye habitatyons, wheryn the prestes that do seruyce before the Lorde, muste eate the most holy offeringes: and there must they laye the most holye offerynges: meatofferinges, synne offringes & trespace offerynges, for it is an holy place. |
| 42:14 | When the prestes come therin, they shall not go out in to the fore courte: but (seyenge they be holye) they shall leaue the clothes of their ministracyon, and put on other garmentes, when they haue eny thynge to do with the people. |
| 42:15 | Now when he had measured al the ynnermer house, he brought me forth thorowe the east porte, & measured the same rounde aboute. |
| 42:16 | He measured the east syde with the meterodde, whych rounde aboute conteyned .v.C. meteroddes. |
| 42:17 | And the north syne measured he, whiche conteyned rounde aboute euen so much. |
| 42:18 | The other two sydes also towarde the south |
| 42:19 | and the west (which he measured) conteyned ether of them .v.C. meteroddes. |
| 42:20 | So he measured all the foure sydes where there wente a wall rounde aboute .v.C. meteroddes long and as brode also whych separated the holye from the vnholy. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
