Ezekiel, starting at chapter 40
{40:1} 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 struck, in the same day, the
hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me there. {40:2} In the
visions of God brought he me into Eretz-Israel, and set me down on a
very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the
south. {40:3} He brought me there; 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. {40:4} The
man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your
ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the
intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all
that you see to the house of Israel. {40:5} Behold, a wall on the
outside of the house all around, 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. {40:6} Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and
went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed
broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad. {40:7} 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. {40:8} He measured also the porch
of the gate toward the house, one reed. {40:9} Then measured he the
porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the
porch of the gate was toward the house. {40:10} 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. {40:11} He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate,
ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; {40:12} 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. {40:13} He measured the gate from the roof of the
one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits;
door against door. {40:14} He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the
court [reached] to the posts, around the gate. {40:15} [From] the
forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner
porch of the gate were fifty cubits. {40:16} There were closed windows
to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and
likewise to the arches; and windows were around inward; and on [each]
post were palm trees. {40:17} Then brought he me into the outer court;
and behold, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all
around: thirty rooms were on the pavement. {40:18} The pavement was by
the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the
lower pavement. {40:19} Then he measured the breadth from the
forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court
outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.
{40:20} The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the
north, he measured its length and its breadth. {40:21} The lodges of
it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and
its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was
fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits. {40:22} The windows
of it, and its arches, and the palm trees of it, were after the
measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went
up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them. {40:23}
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
one hundred cubits. {40:24} He led me toward the south; and behold, a
gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches
according to these measures. {40:25} There were windows in it and in
its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty
cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits. {40:26} There were seven
steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm
trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
{40:27} There was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he
measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits. {40:28}
Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he
measured the south gate according to these measures; {40:29} and its
lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures:
and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was
fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad. {40:30} There were
arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.
{40:31} The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees
were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps. {40:32} He
brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the
gate according to these measures; {40:33} and its lodges, and its
posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were
windows therein and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits
long, and twenty-five cubits broad. {40:34} The arches of it were
toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this
side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps. {40:35}
He brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to
these measures; {40:36} its lodges, its posts, and its arches: and
there were windows therein all around; the length was fifty cubits,
and the breadth twenty-five cubits. {40:37} The posts of it were
toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this
side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps. {40:38}
A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed
the burnt offering. {40:39} In the porch of the gate were two tables
on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill thereon the burnt
offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering. {40:40} On
the [one] side outside, as one goes 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. {40:41} Four tables were on
this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate;
eight tables, whereupon they killed [the sacrifices]. {40:42} There
were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a
half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon
they laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering
and the sacrifice. {40:43} The hooks, a handbreadth long, were
fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the
offering. {40:44} Outside of the inner gate were rooms 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. {40:45} He said to me, This room, whose
prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the
duty of the house; {40:46} and the room whose prospect is toward the
north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these
are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to
the LORD to minister to him. {40:47} He measured the court, one
hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the
altar was before the house. {40:48} 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. {40:49} The
length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits;
even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars
by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
{41:1} He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six
cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side,
which was the breadth of the tent. {41:2} The breadth of the entrance
was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the
one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its
length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. {41:3} Then went
he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the
entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
{41:4} He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty
cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy
place. {41:5} Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and
the breadth of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on
every side. {41:6} The side rooms were in three stories, one over
another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which
belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might
have hold [therein], and not have hold in the wall of the house.
{41:7} The side rooms were broader as they encompassed [the house]
higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and
higher around the house: therefore the breadth of the house
[continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [room] to the
highest by the middle [room]. {41:8} I saw also that the house had a
raised base all around: the foundations of the side rooms were a full
reed of six great cubits. {41:9} The thickness of the wall, which was
for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which
was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.
{41:10} Between the rooms was a breadth of twenty cubits around the
house on every side. {41:11} The doors of the side rooms were toward
[the place] that was left, one door toward the north, and another door
toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five
cubits all around. {41:12} The building that was before the separate
place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the
wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length
ninety cubits. {41:13} So he measured the house, one hundred cubits
long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one
hundred cubits long; {41:14} also the breadth of the face of the
house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.
{41:15} He measured the length of the building before the separate
place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on
the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the
porches of the court; {41:16} the thresholds, and the closed windows,
and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the
threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and [from] the ground up to
the windows, (now the windows were covered), {41:17} to [the space]
above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the
wall all around inside and outside, by measure. {41:18} It was made
with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and
cherub, and every cherub had two faces; {41:19} so that there was the
face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a
young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. [thus was it] made
through all the house all around: {41:20} from the ground to above the
door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the
temple. {41:21} As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as
for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance [of it] was as the
appearance [of the temple]. {41:22} The altar was of wood, three
cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its
length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the
table that is before the LORD. {41:23} The temple and the sanctuary
had two doors. {41:24} The doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning
leaves: two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
{41:25} There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim
and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a
threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside. {41:26} There were
closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side,
on the sides of the porch: thus were the side rooms of the house, and
the thresholds.
{42:1} Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward
the north: and he brought me into the room that was over against the
separate place, and which was over against the building toward the
north. {42:2} Before the length of one hundred cubits was the north
door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. {42:3} Over against the twenty
[cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the
pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against
gallery in the third story. {42:4} Before the rooms was a walk of ten
cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were
toward the north. {42:5} Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the
galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the
middle, in the building. {42:6} For they were in three stories, and
they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the
uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the
ground. {42:7} The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms,
toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.
{42:8} For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was
fifty cubits: and behold, before the temple were one hundred cubits.
{42:9} From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one
goes into them from the outer court. {42:10} In the thickness of the
wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and
before the building, there were rooms. {42:11} The way before them was
like the appearance of [the way of] the rooms which were toward the
north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their
exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their
doors. {42:12} According to the doors of the rooms that were toward
the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly
before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them. {42:13} Then
he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before
the separate place, they are the holy rooms, where the priests who are
near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay
the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and
the trespass offering; for the place is holy. {42:14} When the priests
enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer
court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister;
for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall
approach to that which pertains to the people. {42:15} Now when he had
made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the
way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it all
around. {42:16} He measured on the east side with the measuring reed
five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around. {42:17} He
measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed
all around. {42:18} He measured on the south side five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed. {42:19} He turned about to the west side, and
measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. {42:20} He
measured it on the four sides: it had a wall around it, the length
five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation
between that which was holy and that which was common.
