1. It was the twenty-fifth year since the people of Israel were taken away to a strange land, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, and fourteen years since Jerusalem was taken in battle. On that day the hand of the Lord was upon 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. In a special way God brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain. There were some buildings on its south side that looked like a city.
|
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. He took me there, and I saw a man who looked like he was made of brass. In his hand was a linen rope and a stick to find how long something is. He was standing at the gate.
|
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. And the man said to me, "Son of man, look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and think about all I am going to show you. For you have been brought here so that I may show it to you. Tell the people 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 house of the Lord. The stick in the man's hand was six arm-lengths long (with the width of a hand being added to the length of each arm). And with it he showed that the wall was one stick wide and one stick high.
|
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 up the steps of the east gate, and showed me with his stick that the gateway was one stick wide, and the other gate was also one stick 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 rooms for the watchmen were each one stick long and one stick wide, and they were five arm-lengths apart. And the gateway next to the porch toward the Lord's house was one stick wide.
|
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. Then he showed me with his stick that the porch of the inside gate was one-tenth stick wide.
|
8. He measured H4058 also H853 the porch H197 of the gate H8179 within H1004 , one H259 reed H7070 .
|
|
9. The porch of the gate was eight arm-lengths and its side pillars two arm-lengths wide. The porch of the gate was on 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. There were three rooms for the watchmen on each side of the east gate. They all had the same length and width. And the pillars on each side were the same in width.
|
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. Then he showed me that the opening of the gateway was ten arm-lengths wide and thirteen arm-lengths long.
|
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. There was a wall one-tenth armlength wide in front of the watchmen's rooms on each side. And the watchmen's rooms were six arm-lengths wide and six arm-lengths long.
|
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. Then he showed me that it was twenty-five arm-lengths from the roof of one room to the roof of the room across from it.
|
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 showed me that it was twenty arm-lengths around the walls inside the gateway, up to the porch facing the open space.
|
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. It was fifteen arm-lengths from the front of the outer gate to the front of the porch of the inner gate.
|
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. There were narrow windows looking toward the watchmen's rooms and toward their side pillars, all around inside the gate and also in the porches. And pictures of palm trees were cut on each side pillar.
|
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 into the outer open space, and I saw rooms and a stone floor all around it. Thirty rooms were around the stone floor.
|
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 lower stone floor was beside the gates, and was as wide as the gates.
|
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. Then he showed me how far it was from the inside of the lower gate to the outside of the inner open space. Both east and north sides were 100 arm-lengths each.
|
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. He then showed me the length and width of the north gate of the outer open space.
|
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. It had three rooms on each side for the watchmen. Its side pillars and porches were as long and as wide as the first gate. It was as long as fifty arm-lengths, and as wide as twenty-five arm-lengths.
|
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, its porches, and palm tree pictures were the same length and width as those of the east gate. Seven steps led up to it, and its porch was in front of them.
|
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. Across from the north gate was another gate leading to the inner open space, just as there was for the east gate. He showed me that it was 100 arm-lengths from gate to gate.
|
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 to the south, and I saw a gate toward the south. He showed me the length and width of its side pillars and its porches, and they were the same 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 porches had windows like the others all around and was as long as fifty arm-lengths and as wide as twenty-five arm-lengths.

|
|
44. Then he brought me from the outside into the inner open space and there were two rooms for the singers. One was at the side of the north gate which faced the south, and the other was at the side of the south gate which faced the 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. And he said to me, "This room which faces the south is for the religious leaders who take care of the Lord's house.
|
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. The room which faces the north is for the religious leaders who take care of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who are the only Levites who may come near the Lord to do His work."
|
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. He showed me that the inner open space was as long as 100 arm-lengths and as wide as 100 arm-lengths, the same on all four sides. And the altar was in front of the Lord's house.
|
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 .

|
|
49. The porch was as long as twenty arm-lengths, and six steps wide. Ten steps led up to it, and there was one pillar on each 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 .
