Book 26 : EZEKIEL - Chapter 040
040:001
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
040:002
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
040:003
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
040:004
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
040:005
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
040:006
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
040:007
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed
040:008
Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the
posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was
inward
040:009
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
040:010
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten
cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits
040:011
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
040:012
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
040:013
He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of
the court round about the gate
040:014
And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of
the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits
040:015
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
040:016
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
040:017
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the
length of the gates was the lower pavement
040:018
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
040:019
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the
north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth
thereof
040:020
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
040:021
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
040:022
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
040:023
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
040:024
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
040:025
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
040:026
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
040:027
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he
measured the south gate according to these measures
040:028
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
040:029
And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long,
and five cubits broad
040:030
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
040:031
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he
measured the gate according to these measures
040:032
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
040:033
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
040:034
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according
to these measures
040:035
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
040:036
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
040:037
And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of
the gates, where they washed the burnt offering
040:038
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.
040:039
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
040:040
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
040:041
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
040:042
And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about:
and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering
040:043
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
040:044
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
040:045
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
040:046
So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an
hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was
before the house
040:047
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
040:048
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
