Then he brought me back unto the entrance of the house, and lo! waters coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, because the front of the house, was to the east, - and the waters, were coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

And the side-chambers were broader as they encompassed the house higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber .

So then thou shalt say unto the perverse house unto the house of Israel, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Let it more than suffice you Out of all your abominations, O house of Israel:

Those were thy merchants for gorgeous garments, for wrappings of blue and embroidery, and for treasure-chests of variegated cloth, - for cords, twisted and strong, in thy market:

There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof.

I will also turn My face away from them, and they will desecrate My secret treasure (the Jerusalem temple); and robbers will enter [irreverently] into it (the Holy of Holies) and violate it.

"Son of Man, pay attention! I'm about to take away your most precious treasure with a single, fatal stroke, but you are not to mourn, weep, nor even let tears well up in your eyes.

With thy wisdom and thy understanding, thou hast gotten thee great wealthiness, and gathered treasure of silver and gold.

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.

Son of man. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, - Who have eyes to see - and have not seen. Ears have they to hear - and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.

Son of man, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, - What art thou doing?

But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, - for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.

Can the house of Israel then say- The way of My Lord will not be equal? Will my ways, not be equal O house of Israel? Will not your ways be unequal?

Therefore say thou to the house of Israel Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am r working. O house of Israel, But for my holy Name which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered;

Then said he unto me This! is the holy of holies. Then measured he the wall of the house six cubits, - and the breadth of the side-chamber, four cubits round about on every side of the house round about.

And the side-chambers, one over another were three, and that thirty times, and they entered into the wall which pertained to the house for the side-chambers round about on every side that they might have support, -and yet not have support in the wall of the house itself.

Thou, son of man, Declare the house unto the house of Israel, That they may be put to the blush for their iniquities,- Then let them measure the pattern.

This shall be the law of the house, - Upon the top of the mountain, all the boundary thereof round about on every side If shall be most holy, Lo! this, shall be the law of the house.

Then he brought me in by way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I looked and Lo! the glory of Yahweh fled the house of Yahweh, - so I fell upon my face.

And Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Apply thy heart And see with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou All that I am speaking with thee, As to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and As to all the laws thereof,- And thou shalt apply thy heart To the entering in of the house, With all the exits of the sanctuary. S

Yet shall they remain in my sanctuary As attendants in charge at the gates of the house, - And attending upon the house, - They shall slay the ascending-offering, and the sacrifice of the people, And they, shall stand before them to wait upon them.

But on the prince himself, shall rest the ascending-sacrifices and the meal-offering, and the drink-offering, on the festivals, and on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the appointed meetings of the house of Israel, - he, shall offer the sin-bearer. and the meal-offering, and the ascending sacrifice, and the peace-offerings, To put a propitiatory-covering about the house of Israel.
