Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.

And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.

Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide.

And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

And the watchmen's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod.

For the priests who have been made holy, those of the sons of Zadok who kept the orders I gave them, who did not go out of the right way when the children of Israel went from the way, as the Levites did,

For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.

And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you into the land of Israel, into the country which I made an oath to give to your fathers.

In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he is to give the same for seven days; the sin-offering, the burned offering, the meal offering, and the oil as before.

And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.

And in the covered way of the doorway there were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which the burned offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error were put to death:

And I will let you be stretched on the land; I will send you out violently into the open field; I will let all the birds of heaven come to rest on you and will make the beasts of all the earth full of you.

Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?

For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,

He will put to the sword your daughters in the open country: he will make strong walls against you and put up an earthwork against you, arming himself for war against you.

Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.

For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

They are not to come near any dead person so as to become unclean: but for a father or mother or son or daughter or brother or for a sister who has no husband, they may make themselves unclean.

Your builders have made your outlines in the heart of the seas, they have made you completely beautiful.

It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.

You will make a division of the land among you, tribe by tribe.

And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

And the doors of the town are to be named by the names of the tribes of Israel; three doors on the north, one for Reuben, one for Judah, one for Levi;

And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?

And he said to me, This is the place where the offering for error and the sin-offering are to be cooked in water by the priests, and where the meal offering is to be cooked in the oven; so that they may not be taken out into the outer square to make the people holy.

And the building which was in front of the separate place at the side to the west was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all round and ninety cubits long.

And I sent them in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries: I was their judge, rewarding them for their way and their acts.

And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!

For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.

And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.

And one lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.

And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

And he went inside and took the measure of the uprights of the door-opening, two cubits: and the door-opening, six cubits; and the side-walls of the door-opening were seven cubits on one side and seven cubits on the other.

Will you say, in the face of those who are taking your life, I am God? but you are man and not God in the hands of those who are wounding you.

And you are to give, morning by morning, a meal offering with it, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil dropped on the best meal; a meal offering offered to the Lord at all times by an eternal order.

The Temple had two doors.

Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway: and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures;

It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.

In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.

But when the people of the land come before the Lord at the fixed feasts, he who comes in by the north doorway to give worship is to go out by the south doorway; and he who comes in by the south doorway is to go out by the north doorway: he is not to come back by the doorway through which he went in, but is to go straight before him.

Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction.

And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;

And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And I will be the judge of Moab; and they will see that I am the Lord.

And if he gives a part of his heritage to one of his servants, it will be his till the year of making free, and then it will go back to the ruler; for it is his sons' heritage, and is to be theirs.

And on the seven days of the feast he is to give a burned offering to the Lord, seven oxen and seven sheep without any mark on them, every day for seven days; and a he-goat every day for a sin-offering.

And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.

And you have made yourselves great against me with your mouths, increasing your words against me; and it has come to my ears.

And they will be certain that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the children of Israel, are my people, says the Lord.

And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.

And they are to have no heritage; I am their heritage: you are to give them no property in Israel; I am their property.

The wet places and the pools will not be made sweet; they will be given up to salt.

And you will see that I the Lord have had knowledge of all the bitter things which you have said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have been made waste, they are given to us to take for our heritage.

Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.

And the hearts of numbers of peoples will be troubled, when I send your prisoners among the nations, into a country which is strange to you.

And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword; even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations

And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have put a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken.

Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

And all flesh will see that I the Lord have taken my sword out of its cover: and it will never go back.

And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.

And the meal offering is to be an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

And there was a room with a door in the covered way of the doorway, where the burned offering was washed.

And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:

Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.

And the rest is to be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the twenty-five thousand to the east, as far as the east limit, and to the west, in front of the twenty-five thousand, as far as the west limit, and of the same measure as those parts; it will be the property of the prince: and the holy offering and holy place of the house will be in the middle of it.

The size of the offering all together is to be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you are to make the holy offering a square, together with the property of the town.

Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

And this will be his heritage in Israel: and my rulers will no longer be cruel masters to my people; but they will give the land as a heritage to the children of Israel by their tribes.

Pharaoh will see them and be comforted on account of all his people: even Pharaoh and all his army, put to death by the sword, says the Lord.

Make sounds of grief, son of man; with body bent and a bitter heart make sounds of grief before their eyes.

When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.

And their goods will no longer be taken by the nations, and they will not again be food for the beasts of the earth; but they will be living safely and no one will be a cause of fear to them.

Now the hand of the Lord had been on me in the evening, before the man who had got away came to me; and he made my mouth open, ready for his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was open and I was no longer without voice.

And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.

And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.

And the land will be watered with your blood, and the waterways will be full of you.

And now she is planted in the waste land, in a dry and unwatered country.

Now when she saw that her hope was made foolish and gone, she took another of her little ones and made him into a young lion.

Of this, a square five hundred long and five hundred wide is to be for the holy place, with a space of fifty cubits all round it.

Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction;

But the ruler will be seated there to take his food before the Lord; he will go in by the covered way to the door, and will come out by the same way.

For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

From earth level up to the windows there were winged ones and palm-trees pictured on the wall.

And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side: Benjamin, one part.

And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.

This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.

And I will send on you the punishment of your evil ways, and you will be rewarded for your sins with your images: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

And you are to give a lamb a year old without any mark on it for a burned offering to the Lord every day: morning by morning you are to give it.

And the burned offering offered to the Lord by the ruler on the Sabbath day is to be six lambs without a mark on them and a male sheep without a mark;

And at the south side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Simeon, one for Issachar, one for Zebulun;

And as the property for the town you are to have a part five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long, by the side of the offering of the holy part of the land: this is to be for all the children of Israel.

And for the ruler there is to be a part on one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the holy offering and in front of the property of the town on the west of it and on the east: measured in the same line as one of the parts of the land, from its limit on the west to its limit on the east of the land.

And there was a roof over the doorway and as far as the inner house, and to the outside and on the wall all round, inside and outside.

She will be a place for the stretching out of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have said it, says the Lord: and her goods will be given over to the nations.

There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who have been given a resting-place with those who were put to the sword: they will be resting among those without circumcision, even with those who go down to the underworld.

And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north, like the doorway on the east; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway, a hundred cubits.

And the fixed measure of oil is to be a tenth of a bath from the cor, for ten baths make up the cor;

And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.

This is the land of which distribution is to be made by the decision of the Lord, among the tribes of Israel for their heritage, and these are their heritages, says the Lord.

And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for every ox and an ephah for every sheep and a hin of oil to every ephah.

On the outer side, to the north, as one goes up to the opening of the doorway, were two tables.

Their food is to be the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; and everything given specially to the Lord in Israel will be theirs.

And when they go out into the outer square to the people, they are to take off the robes in which they do the work of priests, and put them away in the holy rooms, and put on other clothing, so that the people may not be made holy by their robes.

And I saw that the house had a stone floor all round; the bases of the side-rooms were a full rod of six great cubits high.

And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.

The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.

But the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: when it is they whose way is not equal.

Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

This is what the Lord has said: My net will be stretched out over you, and I will take you up in my fishing-net.

By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

Your streets will be stamped down by the feet of his horses: he will put your people to the sword, and will send down the pillars of your strength to the earth.

And the meeting, after stoning her with stones, will put an end to her with their swords; they will put her sons and daughters to death and have her house burned up with fire.

And of this measure, let a space be measured, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide: in it there will be the holy place, even the most holy.

Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.

And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside,

Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.

And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;

All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over you, and put dark night on your land, says the Lord.

You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?

In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side.

There is Asshur and all her army, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword:

When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

Because they did this work for them before their images, and became a cause of sin to the children of Israel; for this cause my hand has been lifted up against them, says the Lord, and their punishment will be on them.

And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.

I will make you waste for ever, and your towns will be unpeopled: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.

And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;

And they are not to let any of it go for a price, or give it in exchange; and the part of the land given to the Lord is not to go into other hands: for it is holy to the Lord.

And the Levites are to have a part of the land equal to the limit of the priests', twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide, all of it together to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide.

At the feasts and the fixed meetings the meal offerings are to be an ephah for an ox, and an ephah for a male sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

And he took the measure of the building in front of the separate place which was at the back of it, and the pillared walks on one side and on the other side; they were a hundred cubits long; and the Temple and the inner part and its outer covered way were covered in;

And the door-opening was ten cubits wide; and the side walls of the door-opening were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.

And on the day when he goes into the inner square, to do the work of the holy place, he is to make his sin-offering, says the Lord.

And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.

I have given him up into the hands of a strong one of the nations; he will certainly give him the reward of his sin, driving him out.

They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.

The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

He will put up his engines of war against your walls, and your towers will be broken down by his axes.

They made him a prisoner with hooks, and took him to the king of Babylon; they put him in the strong place so that his voice might be sounding no longer on the mountains of Israel.

And he took me through by the way in at the side of the doorway into the holy rooms which are the priests', looking to the north: and I saw a place at the side of them to the west.

And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for the ox and an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.

But I will make them responsible for the care of the house and all its work and everything which is done in it.

And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder, and the pride of her strength will come to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through.

Then he took the measure of the square across, from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside, one hundred cubits. And he took me in the direction of the north,

Are you more beautiful than any? go down, and take your rest among those without circumcision,

For this is what the Lord has said: At the end of forty years I will get the Egyptians together from the peoples where they have gone in flight:

Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.

So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

And the side-rooms, room over room, were three times thirty; there were inlets in the wall of the house for the side-rooms round about, for supports in the wall of the house.

And he said to me, These are the boiling-rooms, where the offering of the people is cooked by the servants of the house.

And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

And for these, that is the priests, the holy offering is to be twenty-five thousand long to the north, ten thousand wide to the west, ten thousand wide to the east and twenty-five thousand long to the south; and the holy place of the Lord will be in the middle of it.

And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,

And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife,

And on the limit of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side: Manasseh, one part.

The offering you will give to the Lord is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty-five thousand wide.

A space of land twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide is to be for the Levites, the servants of the house, a property for themselves, for towns for their living-places.

And by his measure it was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide in front of the Temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

And on that day the ruler is to give for himself and for all the people of the land an ox for a sin-offering.

Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.

And when the evil man, turning away from his evil-doing, does what is ordered and right, he will get life by it.

And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

And there were sloping windows and palm-trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the covered way: and the side-rooms of the house and the ...

And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?

And at the time of the new moon it is to be a young ox of the herd without a mark on him, and six lambs and a male sheep, all without a mark:

And there was a line of wall all round inside them, round all four, and boiling-places were made under it all round about.

And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.

And between the rooms was a space twenty cubits wide all round the house.

And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.

You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.

So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

And I saw that she had become unclean; the two of them went the same way.

(And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.

And she will be made waste among the countries which have been made waste, and her towns will be among the towns which are unpeopled.

And I will put an end to all her beasts which are by the great waters, and they will never again be troubled by the foot of man or by the feet of beasts.

Then the nations came against him from the kingdoms round about: their net was stretched over him and he was taken in the hole they had made.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.

And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.

Then they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a waste and a cause of wonder, because of all the disgusting things which they have done,

And her daughters in the open country will be put to the sword: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

At the west side, four thousand five hundred by measure, with their three doors, one for Gad, one for Asher, one for Naphtali.

And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

And the space in front of the rooms, a cubit on this side and a cubit on that side; and the rooms six cubits on this side and six cubits on that.

Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.

And you have not taken care of my holy things; but you have put them as keepers to take care of my work in my holy place.

And from before the opening of the doorway to before the inner covered way of the doorway was fifty cubits.

This holy part of the land is to be for the priests, the servants of the holy place, who come near to the Lord to do his work; it is to be a place for their houses and for grass-land and for cattle.

For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

And he took me to the north doorway: and he took the measure of it by these measures;

And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other, twenty-five cubits across, from door to door.

Then I will make their waters clear and their rivers will be flowing like oil, says the Lord.

He and the people with him, causing fear among the nations, will be sent for the destruction of the land; their swords will be let loose against Egypt and the land will be full of dead.

And on the limit of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side: Ephraim, one part.

And on the limit of Asher, from the east side to the west side: Naphtali, one part.

And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.

This is what the Lord has said: Because you were glad over my land when it was a waste, so will I do to you:

And at the east side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Joseph, one for Benjamin, one for Dan;
