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 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 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.
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
.
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
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
.
“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
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.
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
.
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
.
Then he
came to
the gate facing
east and climbed
its
steps .
He measured the threshold of the gate to
be
one rod
deep
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Then
he measured the portico
of the gateway
inside;
He measured also
the porch
of the gate
toward
the
house,
one
reed.
it
was
eight cubits deep,
and its
jambs
were
two cubits thick.
And the portico
of the gateway
faced
the temple
.
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
.
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
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
.
And he measured the width
of the gateway
entrance
to
be
ten cubits ,
and its
length was
thirteen cubits .
And he measured the breadth
of the opening
of
the
gate,
ten cubits ;
and the
length of
the
gate,
thirteen cubits ;
In
front
of
each
gate
chamber
was
a wall
one cubit high
, and the gate
chambers
were
six cubits square
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Next
he measured
the
gateposts
to
be
sixty
cubits high.
The gateway
extended
around
to
the gatepost
of
the courtyard
.
He made
also
posts,
threescore
cubits ;
and
the court
`reached'
unto
the posts,
round
about
the gate
.
And the
distance
from the entrance
of the gateway
to
the far
end
of its
inner portico
was
fifty cubits.
And `
from '
the forefront
of the gate
at
the entrance
unto
the
forefront
of the
inner porch
of
the
gate
were
fifty cubits.
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.
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.
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 ,
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 .
which
flanked
the
gateways
and corresponded
to
the length of the gates ;
this
was
the lower pavement.
And the pavement
was
by
the
side
of
the
gates,
answerable
unto
the
length of the gates ,
even
the lower pavement.
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.
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.
He
also
measured
the
length
and width
of
the gateway
of the outer court facing
north.
And the gate
of the outer court whose
prospect
is
toward
the
north ,
he
measured
the
length
thereof
and
the
breadth
thereof
.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
.
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
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.
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
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
.
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.
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.
Next
he brought me into
the inner court through
the south gate ,
and he measured the south gate; it
had
the
same
measurements
as
the
others.
Then
he brought me to
the inner court by
the south gate :
and he measured the south gate according
to
these
measures
;
Its
gate
chambers,
side
pillars,
and portico
had
the same

the others.
Both
the gateway
and its

around
the
inner
court
were twenty-
five cubits long and five cubits deep
. )
And
there
were arches
round
about,
five and
twenty
cubits long ,
and five cubits broad
.
Its
portico
faced
the outer court ,
and its

led
up
to it.
And
the arches
thereof
were
toward
the
outer court ;
and palm -
trees were
upon
the
posts
thereof:
and
the

.
And he brought me to
the inner court on
the east side,
and he measured the gateway

.
and the lodges

Then
he brought me to the north gate and measured it.
It had
the

as
the

And
he brought me to the north gate :
and he
measured `

and
there

Eight
steps
led
up

And
the posts
thereof
were
toward
the
outer court ;
and palm -
trees were
upon
the
posts
thereof,
on this
side ,
and
on
that
side:
and
the
ascent
to it had
eight
steps
.
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
a chamber with the
door
thereof
was
by the posts
at
the gates;
there they
washed
the burnt -
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
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
.
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
.
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
.
So
there
were
four tables inside
the
gateway
and four outside—eight
tables in
all—
on which
the sacrifices were
to
be
slaughtered
.
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 '
.
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
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
.
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
the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within
round
about:
and upon
the tables
was
the
flesh of the oblation
.
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
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.
Then
the
man
said to
me :
“The
chamber that
faces
south is for the priests who
keep
charge of the temple,
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;
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 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.
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
.
And
he measured the court, a hundred cubits long ,
and a hundred cubits broad,
foursquare;
and the altar was before
the house
.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
