Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And report after report shall arise, Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And law shall perish from priest. And counsel from elders.

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.

Therefore behold me! I have stretched out my hand over thee And will deliver thee for a prey to the nations, And will cut thee off from among the peoples, And will cause thee to perish from among the lands, - I will destroy thee, So shalt thou know that IJ am Yahweh.

Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! stretching forth my hand over the Philistines, And I will cut off the Cherethim, - And will cause to perish the remnant of the coast of the sea;

And I will cause to perish all her beasts, from beside the many waters, - And the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, Nor shall hoof of beast, trouble them.

And the lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the lodges, was a space of five cubits, - and the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate inwards, was one reed.

Then measured he the porch of the gate inwards, one read.

Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the projections thereof two cubits, - and the porch of the gate was within,

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

and from e the face of the gate outwards, unto the face of the porch of the inner gate, was fifty cubits.

And in the porch of the gate, were two tables on this side, and two tables, on that side, - to slay thereon the ascending-sacrifice, and the sin-bearer, and the gut-bearer.

And at the side without, in ascending to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, - and at the other side which pertaineth to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

And when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection 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:

the length of the porch was twenty cubits and the breadth twelve cubits, and by ten steps they ascend into it,- and there were pillars against the projections, lion on this side, and one on that side.

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.

And there were latticed windows and palm-trees on this side and on that side, unto the sides of the porch, - and unto the side chambers of the house and the thick beams.

The prince! as prince, he, shall sit therein, To eat food before Yahweh, - By way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and By way thereof, shall he come out.

The prince therefore shall enter by way of the porch of the gate without and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace offerings, and he shall bow down upon the threshold of the gate and then go forth, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening;

And when the prince shall enter, by way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and by way thereof, shall he go out.
