1	In the twenty and fifth year to our captivity, in the beginning, of the year, in the tenth to the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in this very day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he will bring 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 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 the visions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and he will set me down upon an exceeding high mountain, and upon it as the building of a city from the south.	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 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	And he will bring me there, and behold, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a cord of flax in his hand, and a reed of measure; and he stood in the gate.	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.	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	And the man will speak to me, Son of man, see with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart to all which I cause thee to see; for in order to cause thee to see thou went brought hither: announce all which thou seest to the house of Israel.	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.”	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 behold a wall from without to the house round about, round about, and in the man's hand a reed of measure six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth: and he will measure the breadth of the building, one reed: and the height, one reed.	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.	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	And he will come to the gate which its face the: way of the east, and he will come up upon its steps, and he will measure the threshold of the gate, one reed the breadth, and the other threshold, one reed the breadth.	Then he went into the gateway facing east, going up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep.	Then he went to the east gate. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep.
7	And the chamber one reed the length, and one reed the breadth; and between the chambers, five cubits: and the threshold of the gate from the side of the porch of the gate from the house, one reed.	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.	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	And he will measure the porch of the gate from the house, one reed.	Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed.	Then he measured the portico of the gateway;
9	And he will measure the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its projection, two cubits; and the porch of the gate from within.	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.	it was eight cubits deep and its jambs were two cubits thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10	And the chambers of the gate the way of the east, three from hence, and three from thence; one measure to their three: and one measure to the projections from hence and from thence.	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.	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 will measure the breadth of the door of the gate, ten cubits; the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.	Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits.	Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.
12	And the bound before the face of the chambers, one cubit, and one cubit the bound from hence: and the chamber six cubits from hence, and six cubits from thence.	There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side. And the side rooms were six cubits on either side.	In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square.
13	And he will measure the gate from the roof of the chamber to its roof; the breadth, twenty and five cubits, door over against door.	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.	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	And he will make projections sixty cubits, and to the projection of the enclosure of the gate round about, round about.	He measured also the vestibule, sixty cubits. And around the vestibule of the gateway was the court.	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 upon the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the gate, fifty cubits.	From the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the inner vestibule of the gate was fifty cubits.	The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.
16	And windows closed to the chambers, and to their posts inside to the gate, round about, round about, and thus to the porches: and to the windows round about, round about inside, and to the post, 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.	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	And he will bring me to the enclosure without, and behold, cells and a tesselated pavement made to the enclosure round about, round about: thirty cells to the tesselated 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 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	And the tesselated pavement to the shoulder of the gates over against the length of the gates, the lower tesselated pavement.	And the pavement ran along the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. This was the lower pavement.	It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement.
19	And he will measure the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the face of the enclosure within from with out, a hundred cubits to the east and to the north.	Then he measured the distance from the inner front of the lower gate to the outer front of the inner court, a hundred cubits on the east side and on the north side.	Then he measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.
20	And a gate whose face the way of the north to the enclosure without, he measured its length and its breadth.	As for the gate that faced toward the north, belonging to the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth.	Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court.
21	And its chamber, three from hence; and three from thence; and its post and its porch was as the measure of the first gate: fifty cubits its length, and its breadth five and twenty by the cubit.	Its side rooms, three on either side, and its jambs and its vestibule were of the same size as those of the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.	Its alcoves—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

And by seven steps people would go up to it, and find its vestibule before them.	Its openings, its portico and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.
23	And the gate to the interior enclosure over against the gate to the north and to the east: and he will measure from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.	And opposite the gate on the north, as on the east, was a gate to the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.	There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.
24	And he will cause me to go the way of the south, and behold a gate the way of the south: and he measured its post and its porch according to these measures.	And he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate on the south. And he measured its jambs and its vestibule; they had the same size as the others.	Then he led me to the south side and I saw the south gate. He measured its jambs and its portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.
25	And windows to it, and to its porch round about, round about, as those windows: fifty cubits the length, and the breadth, five and twenty cubits.	Both it and its vestibule had windows all around, like the windows of the others. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.

Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them; it had palm tree decorations on the faces of the projecting walls on each side.
27	And a gate to the inner enclosure the way of the south: and he will measure from gate to gate the way of the south, a hundred cubits.	And there was a gate on the south of the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.	The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured from this gate to the outer gate on the south side; it was a hundred cubits.
28	And he will bring me to the inner enclosure by the gate of the south: and he will measure the gate of the south according to these measures.	Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It was of the same size as the others.	Then he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.
29	And its chamber and its projection, and its porch, according to these measures: and windows to its porch round about, round about: fifty cubits the length, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Its vestibule faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.	Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.

38	And the cell and its entrance by the posts of the gates, there they will cleanse the burnt-offering.	There was a chamber with its door in the vestibule of the gate, where the burnt offering was to be washed.	A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings were washed.
39	And in the porch of the gate two tables from hence, and two tables from thence, to slaughter upon them the burnt-offering and the sin and the trespass.	And in the vestibule of the gate were two tables on either side, on which the burnt offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering were to be slaughtered.	In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings and guilt offerings were slaughtered.
40	And upon the Shoulder from without to the going up to the entrance of the gate of the north, two tables; and upon the other shoulder which was at the porch of the gate, two tables.	And off to the side, on the outside as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and off to the other side of the vestibule of the gate were two tables.	By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables.
41	Four tables from hence, and fear tables from thence, to the side of the gate; eight tables they will slaughter upon them.	Four tables were on either side of the gate, eight tables, on which to slaughter.	So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered.
42	And the four tables for the burnt-offering, of cut stones, the length, one cubit and a half, and the breadth, one cubit and a half, and the height, one cubit: upon them they placed the instruments which they will slaughter the burnt-offering with them, and the sacrifice.	And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, on which the instruments were to be laid with which the burnt offerings and the sacrifices were slaughtered.

44	And from without to the inner gate, cells placed in order in the inner enclosure which was upon the side of the gate of the north; and their faces the way of the south: one at the side of the gate of the east, the face the way of the 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.	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	And he will speak to me, This the cell whose face the way of the south, for the priests watching the watches of the house.	And he said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple,	He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,
46	And the cell whose face the way of the north, for the priests watching the watches of the altar: they the sons of Zadok drawing near from the sons of Levi, to Jehovah to serve 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 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	And he will measure the enclosure, the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, quadrated; and the altar before the house.	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.	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	And he will bring me to the porch of the house, and he will measure the posts of the porch, five cubits from hence, and five cubits from thence: and the breadth of the gate three cubits from hence, and three cubits from thence.	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.	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 length of the porch, twenty cubits, and the breadth, eleven cubits; and by the steps which they will go up to it: and pillars to the posts, one from hence, and one from thence.	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 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.
