Ezekiel 40

1In 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.● 2In 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. {by which: or, upon which}● 3And 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.● 4And 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.● 5And 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.● 6Then 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. {which looketh...: Heb. whose face was the way toward the east}● 7And {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.● 8He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.● 9Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate {was} inward.● 10And 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.● 11And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; {and} the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.● 12The 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. {space: Heb. limit, or, bound}● 13He 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.● 14He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.● 15And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate {were} fifty cubits.● 16And {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. {narrow: Heb. closed} {arches: or, galleries, or, porches} {inward: or, within}● 17Then 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.● 18And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates {was} the lower pavement.● 19Then 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. {without: or, from without}● 20And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. {that looked: Heb. whose face was}● 21And 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. {arches: or, galleries, or, porches}● 22And 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.● 23And 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.● 24After 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.● 25And {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.● 26And {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.● 27And {there was} a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.● 28And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;● 29And 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.● 30And the arches round about {were} five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. {broad: Heb. breadth}● 31And 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.● 32And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.● 33And 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.● 34And 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.● 35And he brought me to the north gate, and measured {it} according to these measures;● 36The 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.● 37And 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.● 38And the chambers and the entries thereof {were} by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.● 39And 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.● 40And 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. {as one...: or, at the step}● 41Four tables {were} on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew {their sacrifices}.● 42And 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.● 43And within {were} hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables {was} the flesh of the offering. {hooks: or, andirons, or, the two hearthstones}● 44And 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.● 45And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect {is} toward the south, {is} for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. {charge: or, ward, or, ordinance}● 46And 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.● 47So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar {that was} before the house.● 48And 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.● 49The 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.●
