(Eze 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 smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me thither.
(Eze 40:2) 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.
(Eze 40:3) 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.
(Eze 40:4) 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.
(Eze 40:5) 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.
(Eze 40:6) 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.
(Eze 40:7) 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.
(Eze 40:8) He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
(Eze 40:9) Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate {was} inward.
(Eze 40:10) 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.
(Eze 40:11) And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; {and} the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
(Eze 40:12) 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.
(Eze 40:13) 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.
(Eze 40:14) He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
(Eze 40:15) And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate {were} fifty cubits.
(Eze 40:16) 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.
(Eze 40:17) 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.
(Eze 40:18) And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates {was} the lower pavement.
(Eze 40:19) 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.
(Eze 40:20) And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
(Eze 40:21) 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.
(Eze 40:22) 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.
(Eze 40:23) 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 an hundred cubits.
(Eze 40:24) 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.
(Eze 40:25) 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.
(Eze 40:26) 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.
(Eze 40:27) 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.
(Eze 40:28) And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
(Eze 40:29) 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.
(Eze 40:30) And the arches round about {were} five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
(Eze 40:31) 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.
(Eze 40:32) And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
(Eze 40:33) 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.
(Eze 40:34) 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.
(Eze 40:35) And he brought me to the north gate, and measured {it} according to these measures;
(Eze 40:36) 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.
(Eze 40:37) 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.
(Eze 40:38) And the chambers and the entries thereof {were} by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
(Eze 40:39) 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.
(Eze 40:40) 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.
(Eze 40:41) 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}.
(Eze 40:42) 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.
(Eze 40:43) And within {were} hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables {was} the flesh of the offering.
(Eze 40:44) 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.
(Eze 40:45) 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.
(Eze 40:46) 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 the Lord to minister unto him.
(Eze 40:47) So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar {that was} before the house.
(Eze 40:48) 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.
(Eze 40:49) 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. Previous chapter, Next chapter, Previous Book, Next Book
