King James Version
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 the LORD was upon me, and 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 upon
a very high mountain, by
which
was as
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
thine
heart
upon
all
that
I shall
shew
thee;
for to
the
intent
that I
might
shew
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
of
six cubits long
by
the
cubit and an
hand
breadth:
so
he measured the breadth
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
stairs
thereof,
and
measured the threshold of the gate ,
which
was
one reed
broad;
and
the
other
threshold
of
the
gate,
which
was
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
little
chamber was one reed
long ,
and one reed
broad;
and between the little
chambers were
five
cubits;
and
the threshold of the gate by the porch
of
the
gate
within
was one reed
.
Then
he measured the portico
of the gateway
inside;
He measured also
the porch
of the gate
within,
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
inward
.
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
little
chambers 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 entry
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
.
The
space
also
before
the
little
chambers
was one cubit on
this
side
, and the space
was
one
cubit
on
that
side:
and
the
little
chambers were 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
.
He measured then
the gate
from the roof of one little
chamber to the roof of another:
the breadth
was 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
of
threescore
cubits ,
even
unto
the post
of the court
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 face
of the gate
of
the entrance
unto
the
face
of the
porch
of
the
inner 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
narrow
windows
to
the little
chambers ,
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 outward
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
by
the
side
of
the
gates
over
against
the
length of the gates was 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,
an
hundred cubits eastward
and
northward
.
He
also
measured
the
length
and width
of
the gateway
of the outer
court facing
north.
And the gate
of the outward
court that
looked
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
little
chambers 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
their
windows, and
their
arches
, and their
palm trees ,
were
after
the measure
of the gate that
looketh
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
the
gate of
the inner court was
over
against
the gate toward
the
north
, and
toward
the east ;
and
he measured from gate
to gate
an
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
.
After
that
he brought
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
in
the inner court toward
the
south :
and he measured from gate
to gate
toward the south an
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.
And
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
measurements
as
the
others.
Both
the gateway
and its
portico
had
windows all
around;
it was fifty cubits long and twenty-
five cubits wide
.
And
the
little
chambers thereof
, and the posts
thereof,
and
the arches
thereof,
according
to
these
measures:
and there
were
windows in
it and
in
the
arches
thereof
round
about:
it
was fifty cubits long ,
and five and
twenty
cubits broad
.
(The
porticoes
around
the inner
court
were twenty-
five cubits long and five cubits deep
. )
And
the arches
round
about
were five and
twenty
cubits long ,
and five cubits broad
.
Its
portico
faced
the outer
court ,
and its
side
pillars
were
decorated
with
palm trees .
Eight
steps
led
up to it.
And
the arches
thereof
were
toward
the
utter
court ;
and palm trees were
upon
the
posts
thereof:
and
the
going
up to it had
eight
steps
.
And he brought me to
the inner court on
the east side,
and he measured the gateway;
it
had
the
same
measurements
as
the
others
.
And he brought me into
the inner court toward
the east :
and he measured the gate
according
to
these
measures
.
Its
gate
chambers ,
side
pillars
, and portico
had
the same
measurements
as
the
others.
Both
the gateway
and its
portico
had
windows all
around.
It was fifty cubits long and twenty-
five cubits wide
.
And
the
little
chambers thereof
, and the posts
thereof,
and
the arches
thereof,
were
according
to
these
measures:
and there
were
windows therein
and
in
the
arches
thereof
round
about:
it was fifty cubits long ,
and five and
twenty
cubits broad
.
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
the arches
thereof
were
toward
the
outward
court ;
and palm trees were
upon
the
posts
thereof,
on this
side ,
and
on
that
side:
and
the
going
up to it had
eight
steps
.
Then
he brought me to the north gate and measured it .
It
had
the
same
measurements
as
the
others,
And
he brought me to the north gate ,
and measured it according
to
these
measures;
as
did
its
gate
chambers, side
pillars
, and portico.
It
also
had
windows all
around.
It was fifty cubits long
and twenty-
five cubits wide
.
The
little
chambers thereof
, the
posts
thereof
, and the
arches
thereof,
and
the
windows to
it round
about:
the
length
was fifty cubits ,
and the
breadth
five and
twenty
cubits.
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
the posts
thereof
were
toward
the
utter
court ;
and palm trees were
upon
the
posts
thereof,
on this
side ,
and
on
that
side:
and
the
going
up 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
the
chambers
and
the
entries
thereof
were
by the posts
of the gates,
where
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
at
the
side
without
, as one goeth
up to the entry
of the north gate
, were two tables ;
and on the other side ,
which
was
at
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
their
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
the
four tables were
of hewn
stone for the burnt offering, of
a cubit and an
half long, and
a cubit and an
half broad
, and one
cubit high :
whereupon
also
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
within
were
hooks, an
hand
broad
, fastened round
about:
and upon
the tables
was
the
flesh of the offering.
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
the chambers
of
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 among
the sons
of
Levi,
which
come
near
to
the LORD 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
.
So
he measured the court, an
hundred cubits long ,
and an
hundred cubits broad,
foursquare;
and the altar that
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.
And
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, and he
brought
me
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
.
