In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth
day 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.
|
|
|
|
2
|
In the visions of God brought# he me into the land of Israel, and set# me upon a very high mountain, by which
was as the frame of a city on the south.
[by which: or, upon which]
|
|
|
|
3
|
And he brought# me thither, and, behold,
there was a man, whose appearance
was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood# in the gate.
|
|
|
|
4
|
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#
them unto thee
art thou brought# hither: declare# all that thou seest# to the house of Israel.
|
|
|
|
5
|
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits
long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured# the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
|
|
|
|
6
|
Then came# he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up# the stairs thereof, and measured# the threshold of the gate,
which was one reed broad; and the other threshold
of the gate, which was one reed broad.
[which looketh...: Heb. whose face was the way toward the east]
|
|
|
|
7
|
And
every little chamber
was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers
were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within
was one reed.
|
|
|
|
8
|
He measured# also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
|
|
|
|
9
|
Then measured# he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate
was inward.
|
|
|
|
10
|
And the little chambers of the gate eastward#
were three on this side, and three on that side; they three
were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
|
|
|
|
11
|
And he measured# the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits;
and the length of the gate, thirteen# cubits.
|
|
|
|
12
|
The space also before the little chambers
was one cubit
on this side , and the space
was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers
were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
[space: Heb. limit, or, bound]
|
|
|
|
13
|
He measured# then the gate from the roof of
one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth
was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
|
|
|
|
14
|
He made# also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
|
|
|
|
15
|
And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate
were fifty cubits.
|
|
|
|
16
|
And
there were narrow# windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows
were round about inward: and upon
each post
were palm trees.
[narrow: Heb. closed]
[arches: or, galleries, or, porches]
[inward: or, within]
|
|
|
|
17
|
Then brought# he me into the outward court, and, lo,
there were chambers, and a pavement made# for the court round about: thirty chambers
were upon the pavement.
|
|
|
|
18
|
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates
was the lower pavement.
|
|
|
|
19
|
Then he measured# the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
[without: or, from without]
|
|
|
|
20
|
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured# the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
[that looked: Heb. whose face was]
|
|
|
|
21
|
And the little chambers thereof
were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
[arches: or, galleries, or, porches]
|
|
|
|
22
|
And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,
were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up# unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof
were before them.
|
|
|
|
23
|
And the gate of the inner court
was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured# from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
|
|
|
|
24
|
After that he brought# me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured# the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
|
|
|
|
25
|
And
there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
|
|
|
|
26
|
And
there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof
were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
|
|
|
|
27
|
And
there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured# from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
|
|
|
|
28
|
And he brought# me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured# the south gate according to these measures;
|
|
|
|
29
|
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and
there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about:
it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
|
|
|
|
30
|
And the arches round about
were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
[broad: Heb. breadth]
|
|
|
|
31
|
And the arches thereof
were toward the utter court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
|
|
|
|
32
|
And he brought# me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured# the gate according to these measures.
|
|
|
|
33
|
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof,
were according to these measures: and
there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about:
it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
|
|
|
|
34
|
And the arches thereof
were toward the outward court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
|
|
|
|
35
|
And he brought# me to the north gate, and measured#
it according to these measures;
|
|
|
|
36
|
The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
|
|
|
|
37
|
And the posts thereof
were toward the utter court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
|
|
|
|
38
|
And the chambers and the entries thereof
were by the posts of the gates, where they washed# the burnt offering.
|
|
|
|
39
|
And in the porch of the gate
were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay# thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
|
|
|
|
40
|
And at the side without, as one goeth up# to the entry of the north gate,
were two tables; and on the other side, which
was at the porch of the gate,
were two tables.
[as one...: or, at the step]
|
|
|
|
41
|
Four tables
were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew#
their sacrifices .
|
|
|
|
42
|
And the four tables
were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid# the instruments wherewith they slew# the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
|
|
|
|
43
|
And within
were hooks, an hand broad, fastened# round about: and upon the tables
was the flesh of the offering.
[hooks: or, andirons, or, the two hearthstones]
|
|
|
|
44
|
And without the inner gate
were the chambers of the singers# in the inner court, which
was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect
was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate
having the prospect toward the north.
|
|
|
|
45
|
And he said# unto me, This chamber, whose prospect
is toward the south,
is for the priests, the keepers# of the charge of the house.
[charge: or, ward, or, ordinance]
|
|
|
|
46
|
And the chamber whose prospect
is toward the north
is for the priests, the keepers# of the charge of the altar: these
are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister# unto him.
|
|
|
|
47
|
So he measured# the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare# ; and the altar
that was before the house.
|
|
|
|
48
|
And he brought# me to the porch of the house, and measured#
each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate
was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
|
|
|
|
49
|
The length of the porch
was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven# cubits; and
he brought me by the steps whereby they went up# to it: and
there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
