Ezekiel 40 — LSV

40Verse 1In the twenty-fifth year of our removal, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after which the city was struck, on this very same day a hand of YHWH has been on me, and He brings me in there;^{Verse 2}in visions of God He has brought me into the land of Israel, and causes me to rest on a very high mountain, and on it [is] as the frame of a city from the south.^{Verse 3}And He brings me in there, and behold, a man, his appearance as the appearance of bronze, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate,^{Verse 4}and the man speaks to me: “Son of man, see with your eyes, || And hear with your ears, || And set your heart to all that I am showing you, || For in order to show [it] you, || You have been brought in here, || Declare all that you are seeing to the house of Israel.”^{Verse 5}And behold, a wall all around on the outside of the house, and a measuring-reed in the hand of the man, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measures the breadth of the building—one reed, and the height—one reed.^{Verse 6}And he comes to the gate whose front [is] eastward, and he goes up by its steps, and he measures the threshold of the gate—one reed broad, even one threshold—one reed broad,^{Verse 7}and the little chamber—one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers—five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within—one reed.^{Verse 8}And he measures the porch of the gate from within—one reed,^{Verse 9}and he measures the porch of the gate—eight cubits, and its posts—two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within,^{Verse 10}and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side and three on that side; the three of them—one measure, and the posts—one measure, on this side and on that side.^{Verse 11}And he measures the breadth of the opening of the gate—ten cubits, the length of the gate—thirteen cubits;^{Verse 12}and a border before the little chambers—one cubit, and one cubit [is] the border on this side, and the little chamber—six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.^{Verse 13}And he measures the gate from the roof of the [one] little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth—twenty-five cubits, opening opposite opening.^{Verse 14}And he makes the posts of sixty cubits, even to the post of the court, the gate all around;^{Verse 15}and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate—fifty cubits;^{Verse 16}and narrow windows [are] in the little chambers, and in their posts on the inside of the gate all around—and so to the arches—and windows all around on the inside, and palm-trees [are] on the post.^{Verse 17}And he brings me into the outer court, and behold, chambers and a pavement made for the court all around—thirty chambers on the pavement—^{Verse 18}and the pavement to the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, [is] the lower pavement;^{Verse 19}and he measures the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside—one hundred cubits, eastward and northward.^{Verse 20}As for the gate of the outer court whose front [is] northward, he has measured its length and its breadth;^{Verse 21}and its little chambers, three on this side and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, its length [is] fifty cubits, and breadth [is] twenty-five by the cubit;^{Verse 22}and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees [are] according to the measure of the gate whose face [is] eastward, and they go up on it by seven steps, and its arches [are] before them.^{Verse 23}And the gate of the inner court [is] opposite the gate at the north and at the east; and he measures from gate to gate—one hundred cubits.^{Verse 24}And he causes me to go southward, and behold, a gate southward, and he has measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements;^{Verse 25}and windows [are] in it and in its arches all around, like these windows, the length—fifty cubits, and the breadth—twenty-five cubits;^{Verse 26}and seven steps [are] its ascent, and its arches [are] before them, and palm-trees [are] in it, one on this side and one on that side, on its posts;^{Verse 27}and the gate of the inner court [is] southward, and he measures from gate to gate southward, one hundred cubits.^{Verse 28}And he brings me into the inner court by the south gate, and he measures the south gate according to these measurements;^{Verse 29}and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches [are] according to these measurements, and windows [are] in it and in its arches all around; the length—fifty cubits, and the breadth—twenty-five cubits.^{Verse 30}As for the arches all around, the length—twenty-five cubits, and the breadth—five cubits;^{Verse 31}and its arches [are] toward the outer court, and palm-trees [are] on its posts, and eight steps [are] its ascent.^{Verse 32}And he brings me into the inner court eastward, and he measures the gate according to these measurements;^{Verse 33}and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches [are] according to these measurements: and windows [are] in it and in its arches all around, the length—fifty cubits, and the breadth—twenty-five cubits;^{Verse 34}and its arches [are] toward the outer court, and palm-trees [are] toward its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps [are] its ascent.^{Verse 35}And he brings me into the north gate, and has measured according to these measurements;^{Verse 36}its little chambers, its posts, and its arches; and windows [are] in it all around: the length—fifty cubits, and the breadth—twenty-five cubits;^{Verse 37}and its posts [are] toward the outer court, and palm-trees [are] on its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps [are] its ascent.^{Verse 38}And the chamber and its opening [is] by the posts of the gates, there they purge the burnt-offering.^{Verse 39}And in the porch of the gate [are] two tables on this side and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering;^{Verse 40}and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, [are] two tables; and at the other side that [is] at the porch of the gate, [are] two tables;^{Verse 41}four tables [are] on this side and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter.^{Verse 42}And the four tables for burnt-offering [are] of hewn stone: the length—one cubit and a half, and the breadth—one cubit and a half, and the height—one cubit; they place on them the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.^{Verse 43}And the boundaries [are] one handbreadth, prepared within all around: and the flesh of the offering [is] on the tables.^{Verse 44}And on the outside of the inner gate [are] chambers of the singers, in the inner court, that [are] at the side of the north gate, and their fronts [are] southward, one at the side of the east gate [with] front northward.^{Verse 45}And he speaks to me: “This chamber, whose front [is] southward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the house;^{Verse 46}and the chamber, whose front [is] northward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the altar: they [are] sons of Zadok, who are drawing near of the sons of Levi to YHWH, to serve Him.”^{Verse 47}And he measures the court: the length—one hundred cubits, and the breadth—one hundred cubits, square, and the altar [is] before the house.^{Verse 48}And he brings me to the porch of the house, and he measures the post of the porch—five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side, and the breadth of the gate—three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side;^{Verse 49}the length of the porch—twenty cubits, and the breadth—eleven [[or twelve]] cubits; and they go up to it by the [[ten]] steps. And pillars [are] by the posts, one on this side and one on that side.
