So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, -

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, - Blessed be the glory of Yahweh. From his place!

Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.

Then said he unto me, Son of man Canst thou see what they are doing, - the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, that I should go faraway from my sanctuary? Howbeit yet again, shalt thou see great abominations.

So he brought me into the opening of the court, - and I looked, and lo! a single hole in the wall.

Then said he unto me, - Yet again, shalt thou see great abominations, which they are committing.

So he brought me into the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and lo! at the opening of the temple of Yahweh, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, - their backs towards the temple of Yahweh and their faces eastward, and they were bowing down eastward unto the Sun.

And he said unto me the iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah, is exceeding, great, and the land is filled with shed blood, and the city is full of over-reaching, - for they have said. Yahweh hath forsaken the land, - and Yahweh doth not see.

Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in, - and, the, cloud filled the inner court,

Then arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto the threshold of the house, - and the house was fled with the cloud, and the, court, was fled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.

And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard, as far as the outer court, - like the voice of the Almighty GOD when he speaketh,

And as for thy birth in the day thou wast born, Thy navel-cord was not cut, And in water, wast thou not bathed to cleanse thee, - And as for being salted, a thou was not salted, And as for being bandaged, thou wast not bandaged.

Then didst thou extend thine unchaste acts unto the sons of Egypt - thy neighbour great of flesh,- And caused thine unchaste ways to abound provoking me to anger.

So then thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, - A great eagle, with large wings of long pinion, full of plumage, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:

And it came to pass that there was another great eagle, with large wings, and abundant plumage,- And lo! this vine, stretched its roots hungry towards him. And its branches, sent it forth unto him, That he might cause it to drink out of the beds where it was planted:

Neither shall Pharaoh with a great force. or with a large gathered host, work with him in the war, by casting up an earthwork and by building a siege-wall, - to the cuting off of many lives.

Thou, therefore, son of man, Prophesy, and smite thy hands together, And let the sword smite twice thrice the sword of the slain! the same is the great sword of the slain, that which hemmeth them in.

And I will execute upon them great vengeance, with rebukes of indignation: shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I put forth mine avenging against them.

Speak, and thou shalt say - Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh Behold me! against thee O Pharaoh king of Egypt, The great Crocodile that lieth along in the midst of his rivers: Who saith - My river is, mine own, Since I myself made it me!

The waters made him great, the roaring deep, made him high - with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.

Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst,-So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes.

And when I prophesied as he commanded me, then came into them the spirit, and they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Be ready, and show thyself ready, Thou and all thy gathered host who have gathered themselves unto thee, - And become thou for me a guard.

Sheba and Dedan and the traders of Tarshish and all her young lions, will say to thee, To capture spoil, art thou coming? And to take prey, hast thou called together thy gathered host? To carry off silver and gold To take away herds and substance, To capture great spoil?

Therefore wilt thou come out of thy place. Out of the remote parts of the North, Thou and many peoples with thee, - Riding on horses all of them, A mighty gathered host. Yea a great army;

Yea, in my jealousy, in the fire of mine outburst, have I spoken,- Surely in that day, shall there be a great trembling upon the so of Israel:

Thou, therefore, son of man, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Say to the bird of every wing. And to every wild beast of the field. Assemble yourselves and come Gather yourselves from every side, unto my sacrifice which I am sacrificing for yon A great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel,- And ye shall eat flesh and drink blood:

And when he brought me thither, then lo! a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a flax-cord in his hand and measuring reed, - and he was standing in the gate.

Then measured he the porch, twenty cubits, - even unto the projection of the court, the lodges of the gate round about on every side;

Then he brought me into the outer court, and lo! chambers and a tesselated pavement, made to the court round about on every side, - thirty chambers against the pavement,

Then measured he the breadth, from the front of the lower gate, to the front of the inner court on the outside one hundred cubits, - to the east and the north.

And as for the gate which looked towards the north, pertaining to the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.

And the gate to the inner court, was over against the gate, to the north and to the east, - so he measured from gate to gate. one hundred cubits.

And a gate, had the inner court towards the south, - so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.

Yea when he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, then measured he the south gate, according to these measures;

and the recesses thereof reached unto the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, and eight steps were the ascents thereof.

And when he brought me unto the inner court toward the east, then measured he the gate, according to these measures;

and the recesses thereof reached to the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, on this side and on that side, - and eight steps, were the ascents thereof.

and the recesses thereof reached unto the outer court, with palm-trees against the projections thereof, on this side and on that side, - and eight steps were the ascents thereof.

And on the outside of the inner gate, were the chambers of the singers in the inner court which was at the side of the north gate, and their front was toward the south, - one, at the side of the south gate, fronting, toward the north.

Then measured he the court, the length, a hundred cubits, and the breadth, a hundred cubits foursquare, - with the altar before the house.

And he measured the length of the building against the front of the secluded place which was over the binder part thereof and the galleries thereof on this side and on that side a hundred cubits, - with the inner temple and the porches of the court:

Then he took me forth unto the outer court, the way toward the north, - and brought me unto the chamber which was over against the secluded place and which was over against the enclosing-wall, towards the north.

over against the twenty which pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement which pertained to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery, by the thirties;

And as for the wall that was without. answering to the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

For the length of the chambers which pertained to the outer court was fifty cubits, - and lo! in front of the temple a hundred cubits,

And from under these chambers, was the entry from the east when one goeth in by them from the outer court.

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east facing the secluded place and facing the enclosing wall, were chambers. n

When the priests enter them, then shall they not go forth out of the holy place into the outer court, but there, shall they lay their garments wherein they minister for holy they are, and shall put on other garments, and so draw near unto that which pertaineth to the people.

So then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court, - and lo! the glory of Yahweh fled the house.

And it shall be when they shall enter into the gates of the inner court, Garments of linen, shall they put on, Yea there shall come upon them no wool, when they minister in the gates of the inner court and within:

And when they go forth into the outer court into the outer court unto the people, They shall put off their garments, wherein they do minister, and lay them in the chambers of the holy place,- And shall put on other garments, That they may not hallow the people by their garments.

And wine, shall no priest drink, - when they enter into the inner court.

And in the day when he entereth into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, He shall bring near his sin-bearer, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

then shall the priest take of the blood of the sin-bearer and put upon the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar and upon the door-posts of the gate of the inner court.

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, the gate of the inner court which looketh toward the east shall be shut, the six days of work, - but on the sabbath-day, shall it be opened, and on the day of the new moon, shall it be opened.

Then said he unto me, - This is the place where the priests I shall be the gut-bearer and the sin-bearer, - where they shall bake the meal-offering, that one may not carry them forth into the outer court to hallow the people,

So he caused me to go out into the outer court, and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court, - and lo! a court in each corner of the court:

and in the four corners of the court, were courts covered over, forty long and thirty broad: of one measure, were those four.

And it shall come to pass that every living soul that swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live, and the fish shall become a very great multitude; for these waters have come thither, that they may be healed so shall everything live whithersoever the river cometh.

And it shall come to pass that there shall stand by it fishers, from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim, places for spreading out nets, shall they be, - after their kind, shall be their fish, like the fish of the great sea exceeding many.

This then shall be the boundary of the land, - on the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethlon to the entering, in of Zedad;

And for the south side southward, from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, towards the torrent bed unto the great sea, - even the south side southward.

And for the west side, the great sea, from the boundary as far as over against the entering in of Hamath - this is the west side.

And on the boundary of Gad, by the south side southward,,- so shall there be a boundary from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadish, towards the torrent-bed, as far as the great sea.
