1. In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck down, on this very day, the hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me there.
|
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. By means of divine visions he brought me to the land of Israel and placed me on a very high mountain, and on it was a structure like a city, to the south.
|
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 brought me there, I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand. He was standing in the gateway.
|
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, watch closely, listen carefully, and pay attention to everything I show you, for you have been brought here so that I can show it to you. Tell the house of Israel everything 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. I saw a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man's hand was a measuring stick 10� feet long. He measured the thickness of the wall as 10� feet, and its height as 10� feet.
|
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 facing east. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate as 10� feet deep.
|
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. 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 .

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 .

14. He measured the porch at 105 feet high; the gateway went all around to the jamb of the courtyard.

17. Then he brought me to the outer court. I saw chambers there, and a pavement made for the court all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement.
|
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 .
