1. On the tenth day of the month beginning the twenty-fifth year of our exile, fourteen years after the city was taken, that very day the hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me
|
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 of the month H2320 , in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 after H310 that H834 the city H5892 was smitten H5221 , in the selfsame H2088 H6106 day H3117 the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 upon H5921 me , and brought H935 me thither H8033 .
|
|
2. in divine visions to the land of Israel, where he set me down on a very high mountain. On it there seemed to be a city being built before me.
|
2. In the visions H4759 of God H430 brought H935 he me into H413 the land H776 of Israel H3478 , and set H5117 me upon H413 a very H3966 high H1364 mountain H2022 , by H5921 which was as the frame H4011 of a city H5892 on the south H4480 H5045 .
|
|
3. When he had brought me there, all at once I saw a man whose appearance was that of bronze; he was standing in the gate, holding a linen cord and a measuring rod.
|
3. And he brought H935 me thither H8033 , and, behold H2009 , 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 H1931 stood H5975 in the gate H8179 .
|
|
4. The man said to me, "Son of man, look carefully and listen intently, and pay strict attention to all that I will show you, for you have been brought here so that I might show it to you. Tell the house of Israel all that you see."
|
4. And the man H376 said H1696 unto H413 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 H3605 that H834 I H589 shall show H7200 thee; for H3588 to the intent that H4616 I might show H7200 them unto thee art thou brought H935 hither H2008 : declare H5046 H853 all H3605 that H834 thou H859 seest H7200 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
5. (Then I saw an outer wall that completely surrounded the temple. The man was holding a measuring rod six cubits long, each cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth; he measured the width and the height of the structure, each of which were found to be one rod.)
|
5. And behold H2009 a wall H2346 on the outside H4480 H2351 of the house H1004 round about H5439 H5439 , and in the man H376 's hand H3027 a measuring H4060 reed H7070 of six H8337 cubits H520 long by the cubit H520 and a handbreadth H2948 : so he measured H4058 H853 the breadth H7341 of the building H1146 , one H259 reed H7070 ; and the height H6967 , one H259 reed H7070 .
|
|
6. Then he went to the gate which faced the east, climbed its steps, and measured the gate's threshold, which was found to be a rod wide.
|
6. Then came H935 he unto H413 the gate H8179 which H834 looketh H6440 toward H1870 the east H6921 , and went up H5927 the stairs H4609 thereof , and measured H4058 H853 the threshold H5592 of the gate H8179 , which was one H259 reed H7070 broad H7341 ; and the other H259 threshold H5592 of the gate, which was one H259 reed H7070 broad H7341 .
|
|
7. The cells were a rod long and a rod wide, and the pilasters between the cells measured five cubits. The threshold of the gate adjoining the vestibule of the gate toward the inside measured one rod.
|
7. And every little chamber H8372 was one H259 reed H7070 long H753 , and one H259 reed H7070 broad H7341 ; and between H996 the little chambers H8372 were five H2568 cubits H520 ; and the threshold H5592 of the gate H8179 by H4480 H681 the porch H197 of the gate H8179 within H1004 was one H259 reed H7070 .
|
|
8. He measured the vestibule of the gate,
|
8. He measured H4058 also H853 the porch H197 of the gate H8179 within H1004 , one H259 reed H7070 .
|
|
9. which was eight cubits, and its pilasters, which were two cubits. The vestibule of the gate was toward the inside.
|
9. Then measured H4058 he H853 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. The cells of the east gate were three on either side, of equal size, and the pilasters on either side were also of equal size.
|
10. And the little chambers H8372 of the gate H8179 eastward H1870 H6921 were three H7969 on this side H4480 H6311 , and three H7969 on that side H4480 H6311 ; they three H7969 were of one H259 measure H4060 : and the posts H352 had one H259 measure H4060 on this side H4480 H6311 and on that side H4480 H6311 .
|
|
11. He measured the gate's entrance, which was ten cubits wide, while the width of the gate's passage itself was thirteen cubits.
|
11. And he measured H4058 H853 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 H6240 cubits H520 .
|
|
12. The border before each of the cells on both sides was one cubit; the cells themselves were six cubits on either side, from opening to opening.
|
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 H4480 H6311 : and the little chambers H8372 were six H8337 cubits H520 on this side H4480 H6311 , and six H8337 cubits H520 on that side H4480 H6311 .
|
|
13. He measured the gate from the back wall of one cell to the back wall of the cell on the opposite side: the width was twenty-five cubits.
|
13. He measured H4058 then H853 the gate H8179 from the roof H4480 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 H5048 door H6607 .
|
|
14. He measured the vestibule, which was twenty-five cubits. The pilasters adjoining the court on either side were six cubits.
|
14. He made H6213 also H853 posts H352 of threescore H8346 cubits H520 , even unto H413 the post H352 of the court H2691 round about H5439 H5439 the gate H8179 .
|
|
15. The length of the gate from the front entrance to the front of the vestibule on the inside was fifty cubits.
|
15. And from H5921 the face H6440 of the gate H8179 of the entrance H2978 unto H5921 the face H6440 of the porch H197 of the inner H6442 gate H8179 were fifty H2572 cubits H520 .
|
|
16. Within the gateway on both sides there were splayed windows let into the cells (and into their pilasters); likewise, within the vestibule on both sides there were windows. The pilasters were decorated with palms.
|
16. And there were narrow H331 windows H2474 to H413 the little chambers H8372 , and to H413 their posts H352 within H6441 the gate H8179 round about H5439 H5439 , and likewise H3651 to the porches H361 : and windows H2474 were round about H5439 H5439 inward H6441 : and upon H413 each post H352 were palm trees H8561 .
|
|
17. Then he brought me to the outer court, where there were chambers and a pavement. The pavement was laid all around the court, and the chambers, which were on the pavement, were thirty in number.
|
17. Then brought H935 he me into H413 the outward H2435 court H2691 , and, lo H2009 , there were chambers H3957 , and a pavement H7531 made H6213 for the court H2691 round about H5439 H5439 : thirty H7970 chambers H3957 were upon H413 the pavement H7531 .
|
|
18. The pavement lay alongside the gates, as wide as the gates were long; this was the lower pavement.
|
18. And the pavement H7531 by H413 the side H3802 of the gates H8179 over against H5980 the length H753 of the gates H8179 was the lower H8481 pavement H7531 .
|
|
19. He measured the width of the court from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner gate; it was one hundred cubits between them. Then he proceeded north,
|
19. Then he measured H4058 the breadth H7341 from the forefront H4480 H6440 of the lower H8481 gate H8179 unto the forefront H6440 of the inner H6442 court H2691 without H4480 H2351 , a hundred H3967 cubits H520 eastward H6921 and northward H6828 .
|
|
20. where, on the outer court, there was a gate facing north, whose length and width he measured.
|
20. And the gate H8179 of the outward H2435 court H2691 that H834 looked H6440 toward H1870 the north H6828 , he measured H4058 the length H753 thereof , and the breadth H7341 thereof.
|
|
21. Its cells, three on either side, its pilasters, and its vestibule had the same measurements as those of the first gate; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
|
21. And the little chambers H8372 thereof were three H7969 on this side H4480 H6311 and three H7969 on that side H4480 H6311 ; and the posts H352 thereof and the porches H361 thereof were H1961 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. Its windows, the windows of its vestibule, and its palm decorations were of the same proportions as those of the gate facing the east. Seven steps led up to it, and its vestibule was toward the inside.
|
22. And their windows H2474 , and their porches H361 , and their palm trees H8561 , were after the measure H4060 of the gate H8179 that H834 looketh H6440 toward H1870 the east H6921 ; and they went up H5927 unto it by seven H7651 steps H4609 ; and the porches H361 thereof were before H6440 them.
|
|
23. The inner court had a gate opposite the north gate, just as at the east gate; he measured one hundred cubits from one gate to the other.
|
23. And the gate H8179 of the inner H6442 court H2691 was over against H5048 the gate H8179 toward the north H6828 , and toward the east H6921 ; and he measured H4058 from gate H4480 H8179 to H413 gate H8179 a hundred H3967 cubits H520 .
|
|
24. Then he led me south, to where there was a southern gate, whose cells, pilasters, and vestibule he measured; they were the same size as the others.
|
24. After that he brought H1980 me toward H1870 the south H1864 , and behold H2009 a gate H8179 toward H1870 the south H1864 : and he measured H4058 the posts H352 thereof and the porches H361 thereof according to these H428 measures H4060 .
|
|
25. The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
|
25. And there were windows H2474 in it and in the porches H361 thereof round about H5439 H5439 , like those H428 windows H2474 : the length H753 was fifty H2572 cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 five H2568 and twenty H6242 cubits H520 .
|
|
26. It was ascended by seven steps; its vestibule was toward the inside; and it was decorated with palms here and there on its pilasters.
|
26. And there were seven H7651 steps H4609 to go up H5930 to it , and the porches H361 thereof were before H6440 them : and it had palm trees H8561 , one H259 on this side H4480 H6311 , and another H259 on that side H4480 H6311 , upon H413 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 H4480 H8179 to H413 gate H8179 toward H1870 the south H1864 a hundred H3967 cubits H520 .
|
|
28. Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, where he measured the south gate. Its dimensions were the same as the others;
|
28. And he brought H935 me to H413 the inner H6442 court H2691 by the south H1864 gate H8179 : and he measured H4058 H853 the south H1864 gate H8179 according to these H428 measures H4060 ;
|
|
29. its cells, its pilasters, and its vestibule were the same size as the others. The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides; and it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

29. And the little chambers H8372 thereof , and the posts H352 thereof , and the porches H361 thereof , according to these H428 measures H4060 : and there were windows H2474 in it and in the porches H361 thereof round about H5439 H5439 : it was fifty H2572 cubits H520 long H753 , and five H2568 and twenty H6242 cubits H520 broad H7341 .

39. In the vestibule of the gate there were two tables on either side, on which were slaughtered the sin offerings and guilt offerings.

39. And in the porch H197 of the gate H8179 were two H8147 tables H7979 on this side H4480 H6311 , and two H8147 tables H7979 on that side H4480 H6311 , to slay H7819 thereon H413 the burnt offering H5930 and the sin offering H2403 and the trespass offering H817 .

|
|
42. There were four tables for holocausts, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high.
|
42. And the four H702 tables H7979 were of hewn H1496 stone H68 for the burnt offering H5930 , of a H259 cubit H520 and a H259 half H2677 long H753 , and a cubit H520 and a half H2677 broad H7341 , and one H259 cubit H520 high H1363 : whereupon H413 also they laid H5117 H853 the instruments H3627 wherewith H834 they slew H7819 H853 the burnt offering H5930 and the sacrifice H2077 .

|
|
44. He then led me to the inner court where there were two chambers, one beside the north gate, facing south, and the other beside the south gate, facing north.
|
44. And without H4480 H2351 the inner H6442 gate H8179 were the chambers H3957 of the singers H7891 in the inner H6442 court H2691 , which H834 was at H413 the side H3802 of the north H6828 gate H8179 ; and their prospect H6440 was toward H1870 the south H1864 : one H259 at H413 the side H3802 of the east H6921 gate H8179 having the prospect H6440 toward H1870 the north H6828 .
|
|
45. He said to me, "This chamber which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple,
|
45. And he said H1696 unto H413 me, This H2090 chamber H3957 , whose H834 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 which faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the Zadokites, the only Levites who may come near to minister to the LORD."
|
46. And the chamber H3957 whose H834 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 H1992 are the sons H1121 of Zadok H6659 among the sons H4480 H1121 of Levi H3878 , which come near H7131 to H413 the LORD H3068 to minister H8334 unto him.
|
|
47. Then he measured the court, which was a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, a perfect square. The altar stood in front of the temple.
|
47. So he measured H4058 H853 the court H2691 , a hundred H3967 cubits H520 long H753 , and a hundred H3967 cubits H520 broad H7341 , foursquare H7251 ; and the altar H4196 that was before H6440 the house H1004 .
|
|
48. Then he brought me into the vestibule of the temple and measured the pilasters on each side, which were five cubits. The width of the doorway was fourteen cubits, and the side walls on either side of the door measured three cubits.
|
48. And he brought H935 me to H413 the porch H197 of the house H1004 , and measured H4058 each post H352 of the porch H197 , five H2568 cubits H520 on this side H4480 H6311 , and five H2568 cubits H520 on that side H4480 H6311 : and the breadth H7341 of the gate H8179 was three H7969 cubits H520 on this side H4480 H6311 , and three H7969 cubits H520 on that side H4480 H6311 .
|
|
49. The vestibule was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep; ten steps led up to it, and there were columns by the pilasters, one on either side.
|
49. The length H753 of the porch H197 was twenty H6242 cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 eleven H6249 H6240 cubits H520 ; and he brought me by the steps H4609 whereby H834 they went up H5927 to H413 it : and there were pillars H5982 by H413 the posts H352 , one H259 on this side H4480 H6311 , and another H259 on that side H4480 H6311 .
