Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

And he said to me, Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak to them with my words.

And go, get thee to those of the captivity, to the sons of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says lord LORD, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner [court] that looks

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.

Then he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and, behold, northward of the gate of the altar [was] this image of jealousy in the entry.

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of LORD's house which was toward the north. And, behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.

And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lays toward the north, each man with his slaughter weapon in his hand, and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's case by his side. And they we

And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which it was, to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's case by his side.

And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them. And they stood at the door of the east gate of LORD's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of LORD's house, which looks eastward. And, behold, at the door of the gate twenty-five men. And I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah

Son of man, thy brothers, even thy brothers, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, [are those] to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from LORD. This land is given to us for a posses

Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb. And I will cut him off from the midst of my people. And ye shall know that I am LORD.

that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor defile themselves any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says lord LORD.

Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,

Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast,

Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,

For thus says lord LORD: How much more when I send my four severe judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!

And as for thy nativity, in the day thou were born thy navel was not cut, nor were thou washed in water to cleanse thee. Thou were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

And I said to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am LORD your God.

I am LORD your God. Walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them,

and hallow my Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am LORD your God.

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they will not live.

And say to the land of Israel, Thus says LORD: Behold, I am against thee. And will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken, the gate of the peoples. She has turned around to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,

Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, Thus says lord LORD: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou have said, I am a god. I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas. Yet thou are man, and not God, though thou did set thy h

Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because thou have set thy heart as the heart of God,

Will thou yet say before him who slays thee, I am God? But thou are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds thee.

Thou were the anointed cherub who covers. And I set thee, [so that] thou were upon the holy mountain of God. Thou have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold shall be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they shall lay down in a good fold, and on fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture, and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

And I, LORD, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, LORD, have spoken it.

And they shall know that I, LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says lord LORD.

And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says lord LORD.

Thus I will make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation, and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are clean cut off.

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it, shall say to thee, Have thou come to take the spoil? Have thou assembled thy company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cat

So the house of Israel shall know that I am LORD their God, from that day and forward.

And they shall know that I am LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. And I will leave none of them any more there,

He brought me in the visions of God into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, upon which was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

And he brought me there, 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.

Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up the steps of it. And he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold, one reed broad.

And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad, and [the space] between the little chambers was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

He also measured the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the posts thereof, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was toward the house.

And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; those three were of one measure. And the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,

And he measured the gate from the roof of the one little chamber to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, door against door.

He also made posts, sixty cubits. And the court [reached] to the posts, round about the gate.

And [from] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

And there were closed 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.

Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

And the gate of the outer court whose view is toward the north, he measured the length of it and the breadth of it.

And the little chambers of it were three on this side and three on that side. And the posts of it and the arches of it were according to the measure of the first gate: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five

And the windows of it, and the arches of it, and the palm trees of it, were according to the measure of the gate whose view is toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps, and the arches of it were before them.

And there was a gate to the inner court opposite the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east, and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

And he led me toward the south. And, behold, a gate toward the south. And he measured the posts of it and the arches of it according to these measures.

And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. And he measured the south gate according to these measures,

And he brought me into the inner court toward the east. And he measured the gate according to these measures,

And he brought me to the north gate. And he measured [it] according to these measures,

And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill on it the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering.

And on the [one] side outside, at the going up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables, and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, upon which they killed [the sacrifices].

And outside the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate, and their view was toward the south, one at the side of the east gate having the view toward the north.

Then 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.

Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose view is toward the east, and measured it round about.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. And his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.

And the glory of LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose view is toward the east.

And on the second day thou shall offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering. And they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bullock.

Seven days thou shall prepare each day a goat for a sin-offering. They shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
