And so he brought me into the inward court of the LORD's house. And behold, at the port of the LORD's house, betwixt the fore entry and the altar, there were five and twenty men that turned their backs on the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east, and these worshiped the sun.

And the Cherubims flickered with their wings, and lift themselves up from the earth: so that I saw when they went, and the wheels with them. And they stood at the east side of the port that is in the house of the LORD. So the glory of the LORD was upon them.

Moreover, the spirit of the LORD lift me up, and brought me unto the east port of the LORD's house. And behold, there were twenty five men under the door: among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the rulers of the people.

So the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mount of the city toward the east.

In the day of thy birth when thou wast born, the string of thy navel was not cut off; thou wast not bathed in water to make thee clean; thou wast neither rubbed with salt, nor swaddled in clouts;

No man regarded that so much, as to do any of these things for thee, or to show thee such favour, but thou wast utterly cast out upon the field: yea, despised wast thou in the day of thy birth.

So I planted thee, as the blossom of the field. Thou art grown up, and waxen great: thou hast gotten a marvelous pleasant beauty, thy breasts are come up, thy hair is goodly grown; whereas thou wast naked and bare afore.

Thus wast thou decked with silver and gold, and thy raiment was of fine white silk, of needle work and divers colors. Thou didst eat nothing but simnels, honey and oil: marvelous goodly wast thou, and beautiful, yea even a very Queen wast thou.

Insomuch, that thy beauty was spoken of among the Heathen, for thou wast excellent in my beauty, which I put upon thee, sayeth the LORD God.

And yet in all thy abominations and whoredom, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth:, how naked and bare thou wast at that time, and trodden down in thine own blood.

When thou wast in thy pride,

Behold, it was planted: shall it prosper therefore? Shall it not be dried up and withered, yea even in the shooting out of his blossoms, as soon as the east wind bloweth?'"

she was rooted out in displeasure, and cast down to the ground. The East wind dried up her fruit; her strong stalks were broken off, withered, and burnt in the fire.

Though it were put up again into the sheath, yet will I punish thee, in the land where thou wast nourished and born,

Behold, I will deliver thee to the people of the east, that they may have thee in possession: these shall set their castles and houses in thee. They shall eat thy fruit, and drink up thy milk.

These will I open unto them of the east, that they may fall upon the Ammonites: and will give it them in possession: so that the Ammonites shall no more be had in remembrance among the Heathen.

"'Thy mariners were ever bringing unto thee out of many waters. But the east wind shall overbear thee into the midst of the sea:

And like as thou, O mount Seir, wast glad because the heritage of the house of Israel was destroyed: even so will I do unto thee also, that thou and whole Edom shall be destroyed - and know that I am the LORD.'"

At the same time will I give unto Gog a place to be buried in, in Israel: even the valley, wherethrough men go from the east to the seaward: Those that travel thereby, shall abhor it. There shall Gog and all his people be buried: and it shall be called the valley of the people of Gog.

Then came he unto the east door, and went up the stairs, and measured the posts of the door, whereof every one was one measuring rod. Every chamber was one measuring rod long and broad:

After this, he measured the breadth from the lower door, unto the innermore court of the outside, which had a hundred cubits upon the east and the north part.

his windows and porches with his date trees, had even like measure as the door toward the east: there were seven steps to go up upon, and their porch before them.

Now the door of the innermore court stood straight over against the door, that was toward the north east. From one door to another, he measured a hundred cubits.

He brought me also into the inmost court upon the east side, and measured the door, according to the measure afore said.

On the outside of the innermore door were the singers' chambers in the inward court beside the North door over against the South. There stood one also, beside the east door northward.

Now the building that was separated toward the west, was seventy cubits wide: the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length four score cubits and ten.

The wideness before the house and of it that was separated toward the East, was a hundred cubits.

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

through the thick wall of the fore court toward the east, right over against the separated building.

Yea, even like as the other chamber doors were, so were those also of the south side. And before the way toward the singers' steps on the east side, there stood a door to go in at.

Now when he had measured all the innermore house, he brought me forth through the east port, and measured the same round about.

He measured the east side with the measuring rod, which round about contained five hundred measuring rods.

and the west - which he measured - contained either of them five hundred measuring rods.

So he brought me to the door, that turneth toward the east.

Behold, then came the glory of the God of Israel from out of the east, whose voice was like a great noise of waters, and the earth was lightened with his glory.

but the glory of the LORD came into the house through the East door.

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.

After this, he brought me again to the outward door of the Sanctuary on the East side, and that was shut.

Upon both the sides of the Sanctuary's part, and by the city, there shall be given unto the prince, whatsoever lieth over against the city, as far as reacheth westward and eastward: which shall be as long as one part, from the west unto the east.

Thus sayeth the LORD God: the door of the innermore court toward the East shall be shut the six working days: but in the Sabbath and in the day of the new Moon, it shall be opened.

Now when the prince bringeth a burnt offering or a health offering with a free will unto the LORD, the East door shall be opened unto him, that he may do with his burnt and health offerings, as he doth upon the Sabbath, and when he goeth forth, the door shall be shut after him again.

And he brought me through the entrance at the side of the door to the habitation of the Sanctuary, that belongeth to the priests and stood toward the north, and behold, there was a place upon the west side.

After this he brought me again before the door of the house: and behold, there gushed out waters from under the posts of the house eastward - for the house stood toward the east - that ran down upon the right side of the house, which lieth to the altar southward.

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:

Then said he unto me, "This water that floweth out toward the East, and runneth down into the plain field, cometh into the sea: and from the sea it runneth out, and maketh the waters whole.

The east side shall ye measure from Hauran and Damascus, from Gilead and the land of Israel by Jordan and so forth, from the sea coast, that lieth eastward. And this is the East part.

The west part: namely the great sea from the borders thereof, till a man come unto Hamath: this is the west part.

These are the names of the tribes that lie upon the north side, by the way of Hethlon, till thou comest unto Hamath and Hazarenan, the borders of Damascus toward the north beside Hamath: Dan shall have his portion from the east quarter unto the west.

Upon the borders of Dan from the east side unto the west, shall Asher have his portion.

Upon the borders of Asher from the east part unto the west shall Naphtali have his portion.

Upon the borders of Naphtali from the east quarter unto the west, shall Manasseh have his portion.

Upon the borders of Manasseh from the east side unto the west, shall Ephraim have his portion.

Upon the borders of Ephraim from the east part unto the west, shall Reuben have his portion.

Upon the borders of Reuben from the east quarter unto the west shall Judah have his portion.

Upon the borders of Judah from the east part unto the west, ye shall set aside one portion of twenty five thousand measuring rods long and broad - like as another portion from the east side unto the west - wherein the Sanctuary shall stand.

Which separated holy portion shall belong unto these: namely to the priests, toward the north twenty five thousand and toward the west ten thousand broad, toward the east ten thousand broad also, and toward south twenty five thousand long, wherein the Sanctuary of the LORD shall stand.

Let this be the measure: toward the north part, five hundred and four thousand; toward the south part five hundred and four thousand; toward the east part five hundred and four thousand; toward the west part five hundred and four thousand.

The suburbs hard upon the city shall have toward the north, fifty and two hundred; and toward the south, fifty and two hundred; and toward the east, fifty and two hundred; and toward the west also, fifty and two hundred.

As for the residue of the length, that lieth hard upon the separated holy ground: namely ten thousand toward the east and ten thousand toward the west, next unto the holy portion: it and the increase thereof shall serve for their meat, that labour in the city.

The residue upon both the sides of the Sanctuary and possession of the city, shall belong to the prince, before the place of the twenty five thousand unto the east end, and before the place of the twenty five thousand westward, unto the borders of the city: this shall be the prince's portion. This shall be the holy place, and the house of the Sanctuary shall stand in the midst.

Now of the other tribes. From the east part unto the west, shall Benjamin have his portion.

Upon the borders of Benjamin from the east side unto the west, shall Simeon have his portion.

Upon the borders of Simeon from the east part unto the west, shall Issachar have his portion.

Upon the borders of Issachar from the east side unto the west, shall Zebulun have his portion.

Upon the borders of Zebulun from the east part unto the west, shall Gad have his portion.

Upon the east side, five hundred and four thousand measures, with three ports: the one Joseph, another Benjamin, the third Dan.

And upon the west side, five hundred and four thousand measures, with three ports also: the one Gad, another Asher, the third Naphtali.
