1
In the five[H2568] and twentieth[H6242]year[H8141] of our captivity[H1546], in the beginning[H7218] of the year[H8141], in the tenth[H6218]day[H3117] of the month[H2320], in the fourteenth[H702]year[H8141]after[H310] that the city[H5892] was smitten[H5221], in the selfsame[H6106]day[H3117] the hand[H3027] of the LORD[H3068] was upon me, and brought[H935] me thither.
2
In the visions[H4759] of God[H430]brought[H935] he me into the land[H776] of Israel[H3478], and set[H5117] me upon a very[H3966]high[H1364]mountain[H2022], by which was as the frame[H4011] of a city[H5892] on the south[H5045].
3
And he brought[H935] me thither, and, behold, there was a man[H376], whose appearance[H4758] was like the appearance[H4758] of brass[H5178], with a line[H6616] of flax[H6593] in his hand[H3027], and a measuring[H4060]reed[H7070]; and he stood[H5975] in the gate[H8179].
4
And the man[H376]said[H1696] unto me, Son[H1121] of man[H120], behold[H7200] with thine eyes[H5869], and hear[H8085] with thine ears[H241], and set[H7760] thine heart[H3820] upon all that I shall shew[H7200] thee; for to the intent[H4616] that I might shew[H7200] them unto thee art thou brought[H935] hither: declare[H5046] all that thou seest[H7200] to the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478].
5
And behold a wall[H2346] on the outside[H2351] of the house[H1004] round about[H5439], and in the man's hand[H3027] a measuring[H4060]reed[H7070] of six[H8337]cubits[H520] long by the cubit[H520] and an hand[H3027]breadth[H2948]: so he measured[H4058] the breadth[H7341] of the building[H1146], one[H259]reed[H7070]; and the height[H6967], one[H259]reed[H7070].
6
Then came[H935] he unto the gate[H8179] which looketh[H6440]toward[H1870] the east[H6921], and went up[H5927] the stairs[H4609] thereof, and measured[H4058] the threshold[H5592] of the gate[H8179], which was one[H259]reed[H7070]broad[H7341]; and the other[H259]threshold[H5592] of the gate[H8179], which was one[H259]reed[H7070]broad[H7341].
7
And every little chamber[H8372] was one[H259]reed[H7070]long[H753], and one[H259]reed[H7070]broad[H7341]; and between the little chambers[H8372] were five[H2568]cubits[H520]; and the threshold[H5592] of the gate[H8179]by[H681] the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179]within[H1004] was one[H259]reed[H7070].
8
He measured[H4058] also the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179]within[H1004], one[H259]reed[H7070].
9
Then measured[H4058] he the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179], eight[H8083]cubits[H520]; and the posts[H352] thereof, two[H8147]cubits[H520]; and the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179] was inward[H1004].
10
And the little chambers[H8372] of the gate[H8179]eastward[H1870] were three[H7969] on this side[H6311], and three[H7969] on that side[H6311]; they three[H7969] were of one[H259]measure[H4060]: and the posts[H352] had one[H259]measure[H4060] on this side[H6311] and on that side[H6311].
11
And he measured[H4058] the breadth[H7341] of the entry[H6607] of the gate[H8179], ten[H6235]cubits[H520]; and the length[H753] of the gate[H8179], thirteen[H7969]cubits[H520].
12
The space[H1366] also before[H6440] the little chambers[H8372] was one[H259]cubit[H520] on this side, and the space[H1366] was one[H259]cubit[H520] on that side: and the little chambers[H8372] were six[H8337]cubits[H520] on this side, and six[H8337]cubits[H520] on that side.
13
He measured[H4058] then the gate[H8179] from the roof[H1406] of one little chamber[H8372] to the roof[H1406] of another: the breadth[H7341] was five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520], door[H6607] against door[H6607].
14
He made[H6213] also posts[H352] of threescore[H8346]cubits[H520], even unto the post[H352] of the court[H2691] round about[H5439] the gate[H8179].
15
And from the face[H6440] of the gate[H8179] of the entrance[H2978] unto the face[H6440] of the porch[H197] of the inner[H6442]gate[H8179] were fifty[H2572]cubits[H520].
16
And there were narrow[H331]windows[H2474] to the little chambers[H8372], and to their posts[H352]within[H6441] the gate[H8179] round about[H5439], and likewise to the arches[H361]: and windows[H2474] were round about[H5439]inward[H6441]: and upon each post[H352] were palm trees[H8561].
17
Then brought[H935] he me into the outward[H2435]court[H2691], and, lo, there were chambers[H3957], and a pavement[H7531]made[H6213] for the court[H2691] round about[H5439]: thirty[H7970]chambers[H3957] were upon the pavement[H7531].
18
And the pavement[H7531] by the side[H3802] of the gates[H8179] over against[H5980] the length[H753] of the gates[H8179] was the lower[H8481]pavement[H7531].
19
Then he measured[H4058] the breadth[H7341] from the forefront[H6440] of the lower[H8481]gate[H8179] unto the forefront[H6440] of the inner[H6442]court[H2691]without[H2351], an hundred[H3967]cubits[H520]eastward[H6921] and northward[H6828].
20
And the gate[H8179] of the outward[H2435]court[H2691] that looked[H6440]toward[H1870] the north[H6828], he measured[H4058] the length[H753] thereof, and the breadth[H7341] thereof.
21
And the little chambers[H8372] thereof were three[H7969] on this side and three[H7969] on that side; and the posts[H352] thereof and the arches[H361] thereof were after the measure[H4060] of the first[H7223]gate[H8179]: the length[H753] thereof was fifty[H2572]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341]five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520].
22
And their windows[H2474], and their arches[H361], and their palm trees[H8561], were after the measure[H4060] of the gate[H8179] that looketh[H6440]toward[H1870] the east[H6921]; and they went up[H5927] unto it by seven[H7651]steps[H4609]; and the arches[H361] thereof were before[H6440] them.
23
And the gate[H8179] of the inner[H6442]court[H2691] was over against the gate[H8179] toward the north[H6828], and toward the east[H6921]; and he measured[H4058] from gate[H8179] to gate[H8179] an hundred[H3967]cubits[H520].
24
After that he brought[H3212] me toward[H1870] the south[H1864], and behold a gate[H8179]toward[H1870] the south[H1864]: and he measured[H4058] the posts[H352] thereof and the arches[H361] thereof according to these measures[H4060].
25
And there were windows[H2474] in it and in the arches[H361] thereof round about[H5439], like those windows[H2474]: the length[H753] was fifty[H2572]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341]five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520].
26
And there were seven[H7651]steps[H4609] to go up[H5930] to it, and the arches[H361] thereof were before[H6440] them: and it had palm trees[H8561], one[H259] on this side, and another[H259] on that side, upon the posts[H352] thereof.
27
And there was a gate[H8179] in the inner[H6442]court[H2691]toward[H1870] the south[H1864]: and he measured[H4058] from gate[H8179] to gate[H8179]toward[H1870] the south[H1864] an hundred[H3967]cubits[H520].
28
And he brought[H935] me to the inner[H6442]court[H2691] by the south[H1864]gate[H8179]: and he measured[H4058] the south[H1864]gate[H8179] according to these measures[H4060];
29
And the little chambers[H8372] thereof, and the posts[H352] thereof, and the arches[H361] thereof, according to these measures[H4060]: and there were windows[H2474] in it and in the arches[H361] thereof round about[H5439]: it was fifty[H2572]cubits[H520]long[H753], and five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520]broad[H7341].
30
And the arches[H361] round about[H5439] were five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520]long[H753], and five[H2568]cubits[H520]broad[H7341].
31
And the arches[H361] thereof were toward the utter[H2435]court[H2691]; and palm trees[H8561] were upon the posts[H352] thereof: and the going up[H4608] to it had eight[H8083]steps[H4609].
32
And he brought[H935] me into the inner[H6442]court[H2691]toward[H1870] the east[H6921]: and he measured[H4058] the gate[H8179] according to these measures[H4060].
33
And the little chambers[H8372] thereof, and the posts[H352] thereof, and the arches[H361] thereof, were according to these measures[H4060]: and there were windows[H2474] therein and in the arches[H361] thereof round about[H5439]: it was fifty[H2572]cubits[H520]long[H753], and five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520]broad[H7341].
34
And the arches[H361] thereof were toward the outward[H2435]court[H2691]; and palm trees[H8561] were upon the posts[H352] thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up[H4608] to it had eight[H8083]steps[H4609].
35
And he brought[H935] me to the north[H6828]gate[H8179], and measured[H4058] it according to these measures[H4060];
36
The little chambers[H8372] thereof, the posts[H352] thereof, and the arches[H361] thereof, and the windows[H2474] to it round about[H5439]: the length[H753] was fifty[H2572]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341]five[H2568] and twenty[H6242]cubits[H520].
37
And the posts[H352] thereof were toward the utter[H2435]court[H2691]; and palm trees[H8561] were upon the posts[H352] thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up[H4608] to it had eight[H8083]steps[H4609].
38
And the chambers[H3957] and the entries[H6607] thereof were by the posts[H352] of the gates[H8179], where they washed[H1740] the burnt offering[H5930].
39
And in the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179] were two[H8147]tables[H7979] on this side, and two[H8147]tables[H7979] on that side, to slay[H7819] thereon the burnt offering[H5930] and the sin offering[H2403] and the trespass offering[H817].
40
And at the side[H3802]without[H2351], as one goeth up[H5927] to the entry[H6607] of the north[H6828]gate[H8179], were two[H8147]tables[H7979]; and on the other[H312]side[H3802], which was at the porch[H197] of the gate[H8179], were two[H8147]tables[H7979].
41Four[H702]tables[H7979] were on this side[H3802], and four[H702]tables[H7979] on that side[H3802], by the side[H3802] of the gate[H8179]; eight[H8083]tables[H7979], whereupon they slew[H7819] their sacrifices.
42
And the four[H702]tables[H7979] were of hewn[H1496]stone[H68] for the burnt offering[H5930], of a cubit[H520] and an half[H2677]long[H753], and a cubit[H520] and an half[H2677]broad[H7341], and one[H259]cubit[H520]high[H1363]: whereupon also they laid[H3240] the instruments[H3627] wherewith they slew[H7819] the burnt offering[H5930] and the sacrifice[H2077].
43
And within[H1004] were hooks[H8240], an[H259]hand[H2948] broad, fastened[H3559] round about[H5439]: and upon the tables[H7979] was the flesh[H1320] of the offering[H7133].
44
And without[H2351] the inner[H6442]gate[H8179] were the chambers[H3957] of the singers[H7891] in the inner[H6442]court[H2691], which was at the side[H3802] of the north[H6828]gate[H8179]; and their prospect[H6440] was toward[H1870] the south[H1864]: one[H259] at the side[H3802] of the east[H6921]gate[H8179] having the prospect[H6440]toward[H1870] the north[H6828].
45
And he said[H1696] unto me, This[H2090]chamber[H3957], whose prospect[H6440] is toward[H1870] the south[H1864], is for the priests[H3548], the keepers[H8104] of the charge[H4931] of the house[H1004].
46
And the chamber[H3957] whose prospect[H6440] is toward[H1870] the north[H6828] is for the priests[H3548], the keepers[H8104] of the charge[H4931] of the altar[H4196]: these are the sons[H1121] of Zadok[H6659] among the sons[H1121] of Levi[H3878], which come near[H7131] to the LORD[H3068] to minister[H8334] unto him.
47
So he measured[H4058] the court[H2691], an hundred[H3967]cubits[H520]long[H753], and an hundred[H3967]cubits[H520]broad[H7341], foursquare[H7251]; and the altar[H4196] that was before[H6440] the house[H1004].

And he brought[H935] me to the porch[H197] of the house[H1004], and measured[H4058] each post[H352] of the porch[H197], five[H2568]cubits[H520] on this side, and five[H2568]cubits[H520] on that side: and the breadth[H7341] of the gate[H8179] was three[H7969]cubits[H520] on this side, and three[H7969]cubits[H520] on that side.
49
The length[H753] of the porch[H197] was twenty[H6242]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341]eleven[H6249]cubits[H520]; and he brought me by the steps[H4609] whereby they went up[H5927] to it: and there were pillars[H5982] by the posts[H352], one[H259] on this side, and another[H259] on that side.
