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 Jerusalem had been struck down— on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there. 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 that very day, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me to the city. In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth <i>day</i> 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. In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was taken, on this very day the hand of the LORD was upon me and He brought me there. In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city—on that very day the hand of the LORD was on me and he took me there.
2 In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city. In visions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was a structure like a city to the south. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which <i>was</i> as the frame of a city on the south. In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, and on it to the south <i>there was something</i> like a structure of a city. In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city.
3 So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand. When he brought me there, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway. And he brought me thither, and, behold, <i>there was</i> a man, whose appearance <i>was</i> like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a thread of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway. He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
4 “Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.” And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.” And 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 <i>them</i> unto thee <i>art</i> thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. And the man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show <i>it</i> to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see.” The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the people of Israel everything you see.”
5 And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high. And behold, there was a wall all around the outside of the temple area, and the length of the measuring reed in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each being a cubit and a handbreadth in length. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed. And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits <i>long</i> by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod. I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.
6 Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep. Then he went into the gateway facing east, going up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep. Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, <i>which was</i> one reed broad; and the other threshold <i>of the gate, which was</i> one reed broad. Then he went to the gate which faced east, went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and the other threshold <i>was</i> one rod in width. Then he went to the east gate. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep.
7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep. And the side rooms, one reed long and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed. And <i>every</i> little chamber <i>was</i> one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers <i>were</i> five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within <i>was</i> one reed. The guardroom <i>was</i> one rod long and one rod wide; and <i>there were</i> five cubits between the guardrooms.

The alcoves for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.
8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside; Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed. He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. Then he measured the porch of the gate facing inward, one rod. Then he measured the portico of the gateway;
9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple. Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end. Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate <i>was</i> inward. And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its side pillars, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was faced inward. it was eight cubits deep and its jambs were two cubits thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements. And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate. The three were of the same size, and the jambs on either side were of the same size. And the little chambers of the gate eastward <i>were</i> three on this side, and three on that side; they three <i>were</i> of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. The guardrooms of the gate toward the east <i>numbered</i> three on each side; the three of them had the same measurement. The side pillars also had the same measurement on each side. Inside the east gate were three alcoves on each side; the three had the same measurements, and the faces of the projecting walls on each side had the same measurements.
11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits. Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits. And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; <i>and</i> the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. And he measured the width of the gateway, ten cubits, <i>and</i> the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.
12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square. There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side. And the side rooms were six cubits on either side. The space also before the little chambers <i>was</i> one cubit <i>on this side</i>, and the space <i>was</i> one cubit on that side: and the little chambers <i>were</i> six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. <i>There was</i> a barrier <i>wall</i> one cubit <i>wide</i> in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms <i>were</i> six cubits <i>square</i> on each side. In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square.
13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway. Then he measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; the openings faced each other. He measured then the gate from the roof of <i>one</i> little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth <i>was</i> five and twenty cubits, door against door. And he measured the gate from the roof of the one guardroom to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, from <i>one</i> door to <i>the</i> door opposite. Then he measured the gateway from the top of the rear wall of one alcove to the top of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from one parapet opening to the opposite one.
14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard. He measured also the vestibule, sixty cubits. And around the vestibule of the gateway was the court. He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate. He made the side pillars sixty cubits <i>high;</i> the gate <i>extended</i> all around to the side pillar of the courtyard. He measured along the faces of the projecting walls all around the inside of the gateway—sixty cubits. The measurement was up to the portico facing the courtyard.
15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits. From the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the inner vestibule of the gate was fifty cubits.

And <i>from</i> the front of the entrance gate to the front of the inner porch of the gate <i>was</i> fifty cubits. The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.
16 The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees. And the gateway had windows all around, narrowing inwards toward the side rooms and toward their jambs, and likewise the vestibule had windows all around inside, and on the jambs were palm trees. And <i>there were</i> narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows <i>were</i> round about inward: and upon <i>each</i> post <i>were</i> palm trees. And <i>there were</i> shuttered windows <i>looking</i> toward the guardrooms, and toward their side pillars within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. And <i>there were</i> windows all around inside; and on <i>each</i> side pillar <i>were</i> palm tree decorations. The alcoves and the projecting walls inside the gateway were surmounted by narrow parapet openings all around, as was the portico; the openings all around faced inward. The faces of the projecting walls were decorated with palm trees.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement, Then he brought me into the outer court. And behold, there were chambers and a pavement, all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement. Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, <i>there were</i> chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers <i>were</i> upon the pavement. Then he brought me into the outer courtyard, and behold, <i>there were</i> chambers and a stone pavement made for the courtyard all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement. Then he brought me into the outer court. There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms along the pavement.
18 which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement. And the pavement ran along the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. This was the lower pavement. And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates <i>was</i> the lower pavement. And the pavement (<i>that is,</i> the lower pavement) <i>was</i> by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement.

And within <i>were</i> hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables <i>was</i> the flesh of the offering. And the double hooks, one hand width <i>in length,</i> were installed in the house all around; and on the tables <i>was</i> the flesh of the offering. And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.
44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north. On the outside of the inner gateway there were two chambers in the inner court, one at the side of the north gate facing south, the other at the side of the south gate facing north. And without the inner gate <i>were</i> the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which <i>was</i> at the side of the north gate; and their prospect <i>was</i> toward the south: one at the side of the east gate <i>having</i> the prospect toward the north. From the outside to the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner courtyard, <i>one of</i> which was at the side of the north gate, with its front toward the south, <i>and</i> one at the side of the south gate facing north. Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south gate and facing north.
45 Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple, And he said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple, And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect <i>is</i> toward the south, <i>is</i> for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. Then he said to me, “This is the chamber which faces south, <i>intended</i> for the priests who are responsible for the temple; He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,
46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.” and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who alone among the sons of Levi may come near to the LORD to minister to him.” And the chamber whose prospect <i>is</i> toward the north <i>is</i> for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these <i>are</i> the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him. but the chamber which faces north is for the priests who are responsible for the altar. They are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to serve Him.” and the room facing north is for the priests who guard the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who are the only Levites who may draw near to the LORD to minister before him.”
47 Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple. And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits broad, a square. And the altar was in front of the temple. So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar <i>that was</i> before the house. He measured the courtyard, a <i>perfect</i> square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the temple. Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.
48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side. Then he brought me to the vestibule of the temple and measured the jambs of the vestibule, five cubits on either side. And the breadth of the gate was fourteen cubits, and the sidewalls of the gate were three cubits on either side. And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured <i>each</i> post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate <i>was</i> three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. Then he brought me to the porch of the temple and measured <i>each</i> side pillar of the porch, five cubits on each side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on each side. He brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits and its projecting walls were three cubits wide on either side.
49 The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side. The length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the breadth twelve cubits, and people would go up to it by ten steps. And there were pillars beside the jambs, one on either side. The length of the porch <i>was</i> twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and <i>he brought me</i> by the steps whereby they went up to it: and <i>there were</i> pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side. The length of the porch <i>was</i> twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; and at the stairway by which it was ascended <i>were</i> columns <i>belonging</i> to the side pillars, one on each side. The portico was twenty cubits wide, and twelve cubits from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs, and there were pillars on each side of the jambs.
