Then he led me toward the south. I saw a gate on the south. He measured its jambs and its porches; they had the same dimensions as the others.

The gate and its porches had windows all around like those other windows; the length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.

There were seven steps going up to it; its porches were in front of them. It had decorative palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.

The inner court had a gate toward the south; he measured it from gate to gate toward the south as 175 feet.

Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.

Its alcoves, its jambs, and its porches had the same dimensions as the others, and there were windows all around it and its porches; its length was 87? feet and its width 43? feet.

Its porches faced the outer court, and decorative palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. He measured the gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.

Its alcoves, its jambs, and its porches had the same dimensions as the others, and there were windows all around it and its porches; its length was 87? feet and its width 43? feet.

Its porches faced the outer court, it had decorative palm trees on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

Then he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it; it had the same dimensions as the others --

its alcoves, its jambs, and its porches. It had windows all around it; its length was 87? feet and its width 43? feet.

Its jambs faced the outer court, and it had decorative palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.

And they had edges all round as wide as a man's hand: and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings.

So he measured the fore court, which had in length a hundred cubits, and as much in breadth by the four corners. Now the altar stood before the house:

The length of the portico [was] twenty cubits and its width eleven cubits, and with ten steps they went up to it, and the {pilasters had pillars}, {one on each side}.

And the side-chambers were three, chamber over chamber, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which the house had for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold; but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

The side chambers were the higher the wider, and had steps through them round about the house. Thus was it wider above, that from the lowest men might go to the highest and mid chambers.

I saw that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick of 10? feet high.

And the free space had doors opening from the side-rooms, one door on the north and one door on the south: and the free space was five cubits wide all round.

The thresholds, the latticed windows, and the galleries all around their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),

It was made with cherubim and decorative palm trees, with a palm tree between each cherub. Each cherub had two faces:

As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.

The altar was made of wood, and was three cubits high and two cubits long; it had angles, and its base and sides were of wood; and he said to me, This is the table which is before the Lord.

The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door.

Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

And there had been made unto them unto the doors of the temple cherubim and palm-trees, like as had been made to the walls, - and thick beams of wood unto the front of the porch without.

Upon both the sides of the walls of the porch there were made deep windows and date trees, having beams and balks, like as the house had.

Then carried he me out into the fore court toward the north, and brought me into the chamber that stood over against the back building northward, which had the length of a hundred cubits whose door turned toward the north.

The three part structure had no columns, unlike the courts, which is why the upper chambers were offset from the ground upward, more so than the lower and middle chambers.

These chambers had under them an entrance of the east side, where by a man might go into them out of the fore court,

And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

After he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the east-facing gate and measured it all around.

He measured it on all four sides. It had a wall around it, 875 feet long and 875 feet wide, to separate the holy and common places.

His appearance in the vision that I was having was similar to what I observed in the vision where he had come to destroy the city, and also like the visions that I saw by the Chebar River. I fell flat on my face

The covering of the altar was fourteen cubits long and broad upon the four corners, and the ledge that went round about, had half a cubit: and the bottom thereof round about one cubit: his steps stood toward the East.

"You are to tell the Resistance that is, the house of Israel, "This is what the Lord GOD says: "I've had enough of all of your loathsome behavior, you house of Israel!

They shall marry no widow, neither one that is put from her husband: but a maiden of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that hath had a priest before.

And they shall come at no dead person to become unclean; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may become unclean.

In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, 70 feet long by 52½ feet wide. All four corner areas had the same dimensions.

And there was an enclosure round about in them round about to those four, - and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about.

Now when the man that had the measuring rod in his hand went unto the east door, he measured a thousand cubits, and then he brought me through the water, even to the ankles:

When he had measured out another 1,000 cubits, the water had become deep enough that I wasn't able to ford it. Instead, I would have had to swim through it.

When I had returned, I noticed a vast number of trees on the banks of the river, on both sides.
