Ezekiel 40

Vision of the Man with a Measuring Rod

1

In the  atwenty-fifthh6242h2568 yearh8141 of our exileh1546, at the beginningh7218 of the yearh8141, on the tenthh6218 of the monthh2320, in the fourteenthh702h6240 yearh8141 afterh310 the  bcityh5892b was  1takenh5221, on that sameh6106 dayh3117 the  chandh3027 of the LORDh3068 was upon me and He broughth935 me thereh8033.

2

In the  avisionsh4759a of Godh430 He broughth935 me into the landh776 of Israelh3478 and seth5117 me on a veryh3966  bhighh1364 mountainh2022, and on it  cto the southh5045 there was a  dstructureh4011 like a cityh5892b.

3

So He broughth935 me thereh8033; and beholdh2009, there was a manh376 whose appearanceh4758 was like the appearanceh4758 of  abronzeh5178, with a  blineh6616 of flaxh6593 and a  cmeasuringh4060a  1rodh7070 in his handh3027; and he was standingh5975 in the gatewayh8179.

4

The manh376 saidh1696 to me, " aSonh1121 of manh120,  bseeh7200 with your eyesh5869, hearh8085 with your earsh241, and giveh7760 attentionh3820 to allh3605 that I am going to showh7200 you; for you have been broughth935 hereh2008 in orderh4616 to showh7200 it to you.  cDeclareh5046 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478 allh3605 that you seeh7200."

Measurements Relating to the Temple

5

And beholdh2009, there was a  awallh2346 on the outsideh2351 of the  1templeh1004 allh5439 aroundh5439, and in the man'sh376 handh3027 was a measuringh4060a rodh7070 of sixh8337a cubitsh520, each of which was a cubith520 and a  2handbreadthh2948. So he measuredh4058 the thicknessh7341 of the  3wallh2346, oneh259 rodh7070; and the heighth6967, oneh259 rodh7070.

6

Then he wenth935 to the gateh8179 whichh834 facedh6440  aeasth6921, wenth5927 up its stepsh4609b and measuredh4058 the thresholdh5592b of the gateh8179, oneh259 rodh7070  1in widthh7341; and the otherh259 thresholdh5592b was oneh259 rodh7070  1in widthh7341.

7

The  aguardroomh8372 was oneh259 rodh7070 longh753 and oneh259 rodh7070 wideh7341; and there were fiveh2568 cubitsh520 betweenh996 the guardroomsh8372. And the thresholdh5592b of the gateh8179 by the porchh197 of the gateh8179  1facingh4480 inwardh1004 was oneh259 rodh7070.

8

Then he measuredh4058 the porchh197 of the gateh8179  1facingh4480 inwardh1004, oneh259 rodh7070.

9

He measuredh4058 the porchh197 of the gateh8179, eighth8083 cubitsh520; and its sideh352b pillarsh352b, twoh8147 cubitsh520. And the porchh197 of the gateh8179 was  1facedh1004 inwardh1004.

10

The guardroomsh8372 of the gateh8179 towardh1870 the easth6921 numbered threeh7969 on eachh6311 sideh6311; the threeh7969 of them had the sameh259 measurementh4060a. The sideh352b pillarsh352b also had the sameh259 measurementh4060a on eachh6311 sideh6311.

11

And he measuredh4058 the widthh7341 of the  1gatewayh6607h8179, tenh6235 cubitsh520, and the lengthh753 of the gateh8179, thirteenh7969h6240 cubitsh520.

12

There was a  1barrierh1366 wall oneh259 cubith520 wide in fronth6440 of the guardroomsh8372 on eachh6311 sideh6311; and the guardroomsh8372 were sixh8337a cubitsh520 square on eachh6311 sideh6311.

13

He measuredh4058 the gateh8179 from the roofh1406 of the one guardroomh8372 to the roofh1406 of the other, a widthh7341 of twenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520 from one doorh6607 to the doorh6607 oppositeh5048.

14

He madeh6213a the sideh352b pillarsh352b sixtyh8346 cubitsh520 high; the gateh8179 extended roundh5439 abouth5439 to the sideh352b pillarh352b of the  acourtyardh2691a.

15

From the fronth6440 of the entranceh382b gateh8179 to the fronth6440 of the innerh6442 porchh197 of the gateh8179 was fiftyh2572 cubitsh520.

16

There were  1 ashutteredh331 windowsh2474 looking towardh413 the guardroomsh8372, and towardh413 their sideh352b pillarsh352b withinh6441 the gateh8179 allh5439 aroundh5439, and likewiseh3651 for the porchesh361. And there were windowsh2474 allh5439 aroundh5439 insideh6441; and on each sideh352b pillarh352b were  bpalmh8561 treeh8561 ornamentsh8561.

17

Then he broughth935 me into the  aouterh2435 courth2691a, and beholdh2009, there were  bchambersh3957 and a pavementh7531b madeh6213a for the courth2691a allh5439 aroundh5439; thirtyh7970 chambersh3957  1facedh413 the pavementh7531b.

18

The pavementh7531b (that is, the lowerh8481 pavementh7531b) was by the  1sideh3802 of the gatesh8179, correspondingh5980 to the lengthh753 of the gatesh8179.

19

Then he measuredh4058 the widthh7341 from the fronth6440 of the  alowerh8481 gateh8179 to the fronth6440 of the exteriorh2351 of the innerh6442 courth2691a, a  bhundredh3967 cubitsh520 on the easth6921 and on the northh6828.

20

As for the  agateh8179 of the outerh2435 courth2691a whichh834 facedh6440 the northh6828, he measuredh4058 its lengthh753 and its widthh7341.

21

 1It had threeh7969  aguardroomsh8372 on eachh6311 sideh6311; and its  bsideh352b pillarsh352b and its porchesh361  2hadh1961 the same measurementh4060a as the firsth7223 gateh8179. Its lengthh753 was  cfiftyh2572 cubitsh520 and the widthh7341  dtwenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520.

22

Its  awindowsh2474 and its porchesh361 and its palmh8561 treeh8561 ornamentsh8561 had the same measurementsh4060a as the  bgateh8179 whichh834 facedh6440 towardh1870 the easth6921; and  1it was reachedh5927 by sevenh7651  cstepsh4609b, and its  2porchh361 was in fronth6440 of them.

23

The innerh6442 courth2691a had a gateh8179 oppositeh5048 the gateh8179 on the northh6828 as well as the gate on the easth6921; and he measuredh4058 a  ahundredh3967 cubitsh520 from gateh8179 to gateh8179.

24

Then he ledh1980 me towardh1870 the southh1864, and beholdh2009, there was a  agateh8179 towardh1870 the southh1864; and he measuredh4058 its  bsideh352b pillarsh352b and its porchesh361 according to  1thoseh428 same measurementsh4060a.

25

 1The gate and its porchesh361 had  awindowsh2474 allh5439 aroundh5439 like  2thoseh428 other windowsh2474; the lengthh753 was  bfiftyh2572 cubitsh520 and the widthh7341 twenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520.

26

There were sevenh7651  astepsh4609b goingh5927 up to it, and its porchesh361 were in fronth6440 of them; and it had  bpalmh8561 treeh8561 ornamentsh8561 on its sideh352b pillarsh352b, oneh259 on eachh6311 sideh6311.

27

The innerh6442 courth2691a had a gateh8179 towardh1870 the  asouthh1864; and he measuredh4058 from gateh8179 to gateh8179 towardh1870 the southh1864, a  bhundredh3967 cubitsh520.

28

Then he broughth935 me to the innerh6442 courth2691a by the southh1864 gateh8179; and he measuredh4058 the southh1864 gateh8179  aaccording to thoseh428 same measurementsh4060a.

29

Its  aguardroomsh8372 also, its sideh352b pillarsh352b and its  bporchesh361 were according to thoseh428 same measurementsh4060a. And  1the gate and its porchesh361 had  bwindowsh2474 allh5439 aroundh5439; it was  cfiftyh2572 cubitsh520 longh753 and twenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520 wideh7341.

30

There were  aporchesh361 allh5439 aroundh5439, twenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520 longh753 and fiveh2568 cubitsh520 wideh7341.

31

Its porchesh361 were towardh413 the outerh2435 courth2691a; and  apalmh8561 treeh8561 ornamentsh8561 were on its sideh352b pillarsh352b, and its stairwayh4608 had eighth8083  bstepsh4609b.

32

He broughth935 me into the  ainnerh6442 courth2691a towardh1870 the easth6921. And he measuredh4058 the gateh8179  baccording to thoseh428 same measurementsh4060a.

33

Its  aguardroomsh8372 also, its sideh352b pillarsh352b and its porchesh361 were according to thoseh428 same measurementsh4060a. And  1the gate and its porchesh361 had  bwindowsh2474 allh5439 aroundh5439; it was  cfiftyh2572 cubitsh520 longh753 and twenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520 wideh7341.

34

Its  aporchesh361 were toward the outerh2435 courth2691a; and  apalmh8561 treeh8561 ornamentsh8561 were on its sideh352b pillarsh352b, on eachh6311 sideh6311, and its stairwayh4608 had eighth8083  bstepsh4609b.

35

Then he broughth935 me to the  anorthh6828 gateh8179; and he measuredh4058 it according to thoseh428 same measurementsh4060a,

36

with its  aguardroomsh8372, its sideh352b pillarsh352b and its  bporchesh361. And  1the gate had  bwindowsh2474 allh5439 aroundh5439; the lengthh753 was  cfiftyh2572 cubitsh520 and the widthh7341 twenty-fiveh6242h2568 cubitsh520.

37

Its sideh352b pillarsh352b were toward the outerh2435 courth2691a; and  apalmh8561 treeh8561 ornamentsh8561 were on its sideh352b pillarsh352b on eachh6311 sideh6311, and its stairwayh4608 had eighth8083  bstepsh4609b.

38

A  achamberh3957 with its doorwayh6607 was by the sideh352b pillarsh352b at the gatesh8179; thereh8033 they  brinseh1740 the burnth5930a offeringh5930a.

39

In the porchh197 of the gateh8179 were twoh8147  atablesh7979 on eachh6311 sideh6311, on which to slaughterh7819 the  bburnth5930a offeringh5930a, the sinh2403b offeringh2403b and the guilth817 offeringh817.

40

On the outerh2351  1sideh3802,  2as one wenth5927 up to the  3gatewayh6607h8179 toward the northh6828, were twoh8147 tablesh7979; and on the otherh312  1sideh3802 of the porchh197 of the gateh8179 were twoh8147 tablesh7979.

41

Fourh702  atablesh7979 were on eachh6311 sideh6311  1nexth3802 to the gateh8179; or, eighth8083 tablesh7979 on which they slaughterh7819 sacrifices.

42

For the burnth5930a offeringh5930a there were fourh702  atablesh7979 of  bhewnh1496 stoneh68, a cubith520 and a halfh2677 longh753, a cubith520 and a halfh2677 wideh7341 and oneh259 cubith520 highh1363, on which they layh5117 the instrumentsh3627 with whichh834 they slaughterh7819 the  aburnth5930a offeringh5930a and the sacrificeh2077.

43

The doubleh8240b  1hooksh8240b, oneh259 handbreadthh2948 in length, were installedh3559  2in the househ1004 allh5439 aroundh5439; and on the tablesh7979 was the fleshh1320 of the offeringh7133a.

44

From the outsideh2351 to the  ainnerh6442 gateh8179 were  1 bchambersh3957 for the  csingersh7891 in the innerh6442 courth2691a, one of whichh834 was at the  2sideh3802 of the northh6828 gateh8179, with  3its fronth6440 towardh1870 the southh1864, and oneh259 at the  2sideh3802 of the  4south gateh8179 facingh6440 towardh1870 the northh6828.

45

He saidh1696 to me, "Thish2090 is the  achamberh3957 whichh834 facesh6440 towardh1870 the southh1864, intended for the priestsh3548 who  bkeeph8104 chargeh4931 of the  1templeh1004;

46

but the  achamberh3957 whichh834 facesh6440 towardh1870 the northh6828 is for the priestsh3548 who  bkeeph8104 chargeh4931 of the altarh4196. Theseh1992a are the  csonsh1121 of Zadokh6659, who from the sonsh1121 of Levih3878  dcomeh7131 nearh7131 to the LORDh3068 to ministerh8334 to Him."

47

He measuredh4058 the courth2691a, a perfect squareh7251, a  ahundredh3967 cubitsh520 longh753 and a hundredh3967 cubitsh520 wideh7341; and the altarh4196 was in fronth6440 of the  1templeh1004.

48

Then he broughth935 me to the  aporchh197 of the  1templeh1004 and measuredh4058 each sideh352b pillarh352b of the porchh197, fiveh2568 cubitsh520 on eachh6311 sideh6311; and the widthh7341 of the gateh8179 was threeh7969 cubitsh520 on eachh6311 sideh6311.

49

The lengthh753 of the porchh197 was twentyh6242 cubitsh520 and the widthh7341 elevenh6249h6240 cubitsh520; and at the  astairwayh4609b by whichh834 it was ascendedh5927 were  bcolumnsh5982 belonging to the sideh352b pillarsh352b, oneh259 on eachh6311 sideh6311.
