Berean Standard Bible
In the five
and
twentieth
year of our captivity
, in
the beginning of the year, in
the tenth `
day '
of the month ,
in the fourteenth year after that the
city
was
smitten,
in
the
selfsame
day ,
the hand of Jehovah
was upon me, and he brought
me thither
.
In the twenty-fifth
year of our exile
, at
the beginning of the year, on
the tenth day of the month —
in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem
had
been
struck
down—on
that very
day the hand of the
LORD
was upon me, and He took
me there
.
In the
visions of God brought
he me into
the land of Israel ,
and set me down
upon
a very high mountain, whereon
was as
it
were
the
frame
of
a city on
the
south
.
In visions of God He took
me to
the land of Israel and set me on
a very high mountain, on
whose
southern
slope
was a structure
that
resembled
a
city.
And
he brought
me thither;
and,
behold,
there was
a man ,
whose appearance was like the appearance
of
brass,
with a line
of
flax
in
his
hand,
and a measuring reed;
and
he
stood
in the
gate
.
So
He took
me there ,
and
I
saw
a man whose appearance was like bronze.
He
was
standing
in
the gateway
with a linen
cord
and a measuring rod
in his
hand
.
And
the
man
said
unto
me,
Son of man, behold
with thine
eyes, and
hear with thine
ears, and set
thy
heart
upon
all
that
I
shall
show
thee;
for,
to the
intent
that
I may
show them
unto
thee
, art
thou
brought
hither:
declare
all
that thou
seest
to the house of Israel.
“
Son of man, ”
he
said
to
me,
“look
with your
eyes, hear with your
ears, and pay
attention
to everything
I am
going
to
show you
, for
that is
why
you
have
been
brought
here.
Report
to the house of Israel everything
you
see
. ”
And ,
behold,
a wall on
the outside
of the house
round
about,
and
in the man's
hand a
measuring
reed
six cubits
long ,
of
a cubit and a handbreadth each:
so
he measured the thickness
of
the
building,
one reed;
and the
height,
one reed
.
And I
saw
a wall surrounding
the temple
area.
Now
the
length
of the measuring
rod
in the man’s
hand was
six long cubits
(each
measuring
a cubit and a handbreadth ),
and
he measured the wall
to
be
one rod
thick
and one rod
high
.
Then came
he unto
the gate which
looketh
toward
the
east ,
and went
up
the
steps thereof:
and
he measured the threshold of the gate ,
one
reed
broad;
and
the
other
threshold,
one reed
broad
.
Then he came
to
the gate facing
east and climbed
its
steps .
He measured the threshold of the gate to
be
one rod
deep
.
And
every
lodge
was one reed
long ,
and one reed
broad;
and `the
space'
between
the
lodges
was
five cubits ;
and
the
threshold
of
the gate by
the porch
of the gate toward
the house
was one reed
.
Each
gate
chamber
was one rod
long and one rod
wide,
and there
were
five cubits between
the gate chambers.
The inner
threshold
of the gate by
the portico
facing
inward
was one rod
deep
.
He measured also
the porch
of the gate
toward
the
house,
one
reed.
Then
he measured the portico
of the gateway
inside;
Then
measured
he
the
porch
of
the
gate,
eight cubits ;
and
the
posts
thereof
, two cubits ;
and the porch
of the gate
was
toward
the house
.
it
was
eight cubits deep
, and
its
jambs
were
two cubits thick.
And the portico
of the gateway
faced
the temple
.
And
the
lodges
of
the
gate
eastward
were three on
this
side,
and
three
on that
side ;
they
three
were
of one
measure:
and
the posts
had
one
measure
on
this
side
and on that
side.
There
were three gate
chambers
on each
side of the east
gate,
each
with
the
same
measurements,
and the
gateposts
on either
side also
had
the
same
measurements
.
And he measured the breadth
of
the
opening
of the gate,
ten cubits ;
and the
length of
the
gate,
thirteen cubits ;
And he measured the width
of the gateway
entrance
to
be
ten cubits ,
and its
length was
thirteen cubits .
and
a border
before
the
lodges,
one cubit `on
this
side',
and
a
border
, one
cubit
on
that
side;
and the lodges,
six
cubits
on
this
side,
and
six cubits on
that
side
.
In
front
of
each
gate
chamber
was
a wall
one cubit high
, and the gate
chambers
were
six cubits square
.
And
he measured the gate
from the roof of the
one lodge
to the roof of the other,
a
breadth
of
five
and
twenty cubits ;
door
against
door
.
Then
he measured the gateway
from the roof of one gate
chamber
to the roof of the opposite
one;
the
distance
was
twenty -five
cubits from
doorway
to
doorway
.
He made
also
posts,
threescore
cubits ;
and
the court
`reached'
unto
the posts,
round
about
the gate
.
Next
he measured
the
gateposts
to
be
sixty
cubits high.
The gateway
extended
around
to
the gatepost
of
the courtyard
.
And `
from '
the forefront
of the gate
at
the
entrance
unto
the forefront
of the
inner porch
of
the
gate
were
fifty cubits.
And the
distance
from the entrance
of the gateway
to
the far
end
of its
inner portico
was
fifty cubits.
And
there
were
closed
windows
to
the lodges,
and to
their posts
within
the gate
round
about,
and
likewise
to
the arches;
and
windows were
round
about
inward;
and
upon
`
each '
post
were
palm -
trees.
The gate
chambers
and their side
pillars
had
beveled
windows
all
around
the inside
of
the gateway.
The
porticos
also
had
windows all
around
on
the
inside.
Each side
pillar
was
decorated
with
palm trees.
Then brought
he me into the outer court ;
and
, lo,
there were chambers and a pavement ,
made
for
the court round
about:
thirty chambers were
upon
the pavement .
Then he brought
me into the outer court, and
there were chambers and a pavement laid
out
all
around
the court .
Thirty chambers faced
the pavement ,
And
the
pavement
was
by
the
side
of
the gates,
answerable
unto
the length of the gates ,
even
the lower pavement.
which
flanked
the gateways
and
corresponded
to
the length of the gates ;
this
was
the lower pavement.
Then he measured the breadth
from the forefront
of the lower gate
unto
the forefront
of the inner court without,
a hundred cubits ,
`both'
on the east and
on the north.
Then he measured the distance
from the front
of the lower gateway
to
the outside
of the inner court ;
it
was
a hundred cubits on the east side
as
well
as
on the north.
And the gate
of the outer court whose
prospect
is
toward
the
north ,
he
measured
the
length
thereof
and
the
breadth
thereof
.
He
also
measured
the
length
and width
of
the gateway
of the outer court facing
north.
And
the
lodges
thereof
were
three on this
side and
three
on
that
side ;
and
the
posts
thereof
and the
arches
thereof
were
after
the measure
of
the first gate: the
length
thereof
was
fifty cubits ,
and
the
breadth
five
and twenty cubits.
Its
three gate
chambers
on each
side ,
its
side pillars,
and its
portico
all
had
the same
measurements
as
the first gate: fifty cubits long
and twenty -five
cubits wide
.
And
the
windows thereof
, and
the
arches
thereof
, and the
palm -
trees thereof,
were
after
the measure
of the gate whose
prospect
is
toward
the
east ;
and
they
went
up
unto
it
by
seven steps ;
and
the
arches
thereof
were
before
them.
Its
windows, portico
, and palm trees had
the same
measurements
as
those
of the gate facing
east .
Seven steps led
up
to
it,
with
its
portico
opposite
them.
And
there was a gate to the inner court over
against
the `other'
gate, `both'
on
the
north
and
on the east ;
and
he measured from gate
to gate
a hundred cubits.
There was a gate to the inner court facing
the north
gate, just
as
there
was
on the east .
He measured the
distance
from gateway
to gateway
to
be
a hundred cubits.
And
he led me toward
the south ;
and,
behold
, a gate
toward
the
south :
and
he measured the
posts
thereof
and the arches
thereof
according
to
these
measures
.
Then
he led me to
the south side
, and
I
saw
a gateway
facing
south .
He measured its
side
pillars
and portico,
and
they
had
the same
measurements
as
the
others
.
And there
were
windows in
it
and
in
the
arches
thereof
round
about
, like those
windows:
the length
was fifty cubits ,
and
the
breadth
five
and twenty cubits.
Both
the
gateway
and its
portico
had
windows all
around
, like the other
windows.
It
was fifty cubits long
and twenty -five
cubits wide
.
And
there
were
seven steps to
go
up to it, and the
arches
thereof
were
before
them; and
it had palm -
trees ,
one
on this
side, and
another
on that
side ,
upon
the
posts
thereof
.
Seven steps led
up to it, and its
portico
was
opposite
them; it had palm trees on its
side pillars
, one
on each
side.
And
there
was
a
gate
to
the inner court toward
the
south :
and he measured from gate
to gate
toward the south a hundred cubits.
The inner court also
had
a
gate
facing
south ,
and he measured the
distance
from gateway
to gateway
toward the south to
be
a hundred cubits.
Then
he brought me to
the inner court by
the south gate :
and he measured the south gate according
to
these
measures
;
Next
he brought me into
the inner court through
the south gate ,
and he measured the south gate; it
had
the
same

as
the
others.
and
the
lodges
thereof
, and
the
posts

And
the
posts
thereof
were

and
on

and
the
ascent

Its
portico
faced
the outer court ,
and its
side
pillars
were
decorated
with
palm trees on each
side .
Eight steps led
up
to
it
.
And
a chamber with the
door
thereof
was
by the posts
at
the gates;
there they
washed
the burnt -
offering.
There
was
a chamber with a
doorway
by the portico
in
each
of
the inner
gateways.
There the burnt offering was
to
be
washed
.
And
in
the porch
of the gate
were two tables on this
side, and
two
tables
on that
side,
to
slay
thereon
the burnt -offering
and
the
sin -offering
and the
trespass-offering
.
Inside
the portico
of the gateway
were two tables on each
side, on which
the burnt offerings,
sin offerings,
and guilt
offerings
were
to
be
slaughtered
.
And
on
the
`one'
side
without
, as one goeth
up to the entry
of the gate
toward
the
north, were two tables ;
and on the other side ,
which
belonged
to
the
porch
of the gate,
were
two
tables
.
Outside
, as one goes
up to the entrance
of the north gateway
, there
were two tables on
one
side
and two
more
tables
on the other side of the gate’s
portico
.
Four
tables
were on
this
side,
and
four tables on
that
side,
by
the
side
of
the gate;
eight tables ,
whereupon
they
slew
`
the sacrifices '
.
So
there
were four tables inside
the gateway
and
four
outside—
eight tables in
all—on
which
the sacrifices were
to
be
slaughtered
.
And
there were four tables for the burnt -
offering, of
hewn
stone,
a cubit and a half long, and
a cubit and a half broad
, and one
cubit high ;
whereupon
they
laid
the instruments
wherewith
they
slew
the burnt -offering
and the sacrifice
.
There were also
four tables of
dressed
stone
for the burnt offering, each
a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide
, and a
cubit high .
On
these
were
placed
the utensils
used
to
slaughter
the burnt offerings
and the other
sacrifices
.
And
the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within
round
about:
and
upon
the tables
was
the flesh of the oblation
.
The double-pronged
hooks, each
a handbreadth long, were fastened all
around
the inside
of
the room,
and
the
flesh of the offering
was
to
be
placed
on
the
tables
.
And
without
the inner gate were
chambers
for
the
singers
in
the inner court, which
was
at
the
side
of
the north gate ;
and their
prospect
was
toward
the
south ;
one
at
the
side
of
the east
gate having
the
prospect
toward
the
north.
Outside
the inner gate ,
within
the inner court, were
two
chambers,
one
beside
the north gate and facing
south ,
and
another
beside
the south
gate and
facing
north.
And
he
said unto
me ,
This
chamber,
whose
prospect
is
toward
the south ,
is for the priests ,
the
keepers
of
the
charge of the house;
Then
the
man
said to
me :
“
The chamber
that
faces
south is for the priests who
keep
charge of the temple,
and the chamber whose
prospect
is
toward
the
north is for the priests ,
the
keepers
of
the
charge of the altar :
these are the sons of Zadok, who from
among
the sons
of
Levi
come
near
to
Jehovah
to minister unto
him.
and the chamber that
faces
north is for the priests who
keep
charge of the altar .
These are the sons of Zadok, the
only
Levites
who may
approach
the LORD
to minister before
Him. ”
And
he measured the court, a hundred cubits long ,
and a hundred cubits broad,
foursquare;
and the altar was before
the house
.
Next
he measured the court .
It
was
square
, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide.
And the altar was in
front
of
the temple
.
Then he brought me to the porch
of the house,
and measured each
post
of
the porch,
five
cubits
on
this
side ,
and
five cubits on that
side :
and
the breadth
of the gate
was three
cubits on
this
side,
and three cubits on that
side.
Then he brought me to the portico
of the temple
and measured the side pillars
of
the
portico
to
be
five cubits on each
side .
The width
of the gateway
was fourteen
cubits and its
sidewalls
were
three cubits on either
side.
The length
of
the
porch
was twenty cubits ,
and the
breadth
eleven
cubits ;
even
by
the
steps whereby
they
went
up to it :
and
there were pillars
by the posts,
one
on
this
side, and
another
on that
side.
The portico
was twenty cubits wide
and twelve
cubits deep,
and
ten
steps led
up to it .
There were columns
by the side pillars
, one
on each
side.
