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 selfsame day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and brought me. 2 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. 3 And He brought me. 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. 4 And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your mind upon all that I shall show you; for to the intent that I might show them to you are you brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel. 5 [There was] a wall on the outside of the house on every side, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and a hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. 6 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the East, and went up the stairs, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad. 7 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. 8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. 9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. 10 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. 11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 12 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. 13 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. 14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even to the post of the court on every side of the gate. 15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. 16 And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate on every side, and likewise to the arches: and windows were on every side inward: and upon each post were palm trees. 17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court on every side: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits Eastward and Northward. 20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the North, he measured the length, and the breadth. 21 And the little chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts and the arches were after the measure of the first gate: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looks toward the East; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the arches were before them. 23 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 a hundred cubits. 24 After that he brought me toward the South, and a gate toward the South: and he measured the posts and the arches according to these measures. 25 And there were windows in it and in the arches on every side, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts. 27 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the South: and he measured from gate to gate toward the South a hundred cubits. 28 And he brought me to the inner court by the South gate: and he measured the South gate according to these measures; 29 And the little chambers, and the posts, and the arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches on every side: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 30 And the arches on every side were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. 31 And the arches were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts: and the going up to it had eight steps. 32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the East: and he measured the gate according to these measures. 33 And the little chambers, and the posts, and the arches, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches on every side: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 34 And the arches were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps. 35 And he brought me to the North gate, and measured it according to these measures; 36 The little chambers, the posts, and the arches, and the windows to it on every side: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 37 And the posts were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps. 38 And the chambers and the entries were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering. 39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering. 40 And at the side without, as one goes 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. 41 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. 42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 And within were hooks, a hand broad, fastened on every side: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering. 44 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. 45 And he said to me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the South, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. 46 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 Jehovah to serve him. 47 So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house. 48 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. 49 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.
