Then he measured the width from before the lower gate to the front of the exterior of the inner court as 175 feet on the east and on the north.

Its windows, its porches, and its decorative palm trees had the same measurement as the gate which faced east. Seven steps led up to it, and its porch was in front of them.

Opposite the gate on the north and the east was a gate of the inner court; he measured the distance from gate to gate at 175 feet.

Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. He measured the gate; it had the same dimensions as the others.

The building that was facing the temple courtyard at the west side was 122? feet wide; the wall of the building was 8? feet all around, and its length 157? feet.

and also the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard on the east as 175 feet.

Below these chambers was a passage on the east side as one enters from the outer court.

were the chambers which were toward the south. There was an opening at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east when one enters.

Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple, he led me out by the gate which faces east and measured all around.

He measured the east side with the measuring stick as 875 feet by the measuring stick.

He turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring stick.

Then he brought me to the gate that faced toward the east.

I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east; the sound was like that of rushing water; and the earth radiated his glory.

The glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate that faces east.

The ledge is 24? feet long and 24? feet wide on four sides; the border around it is 10? inches, and its surrounding base 1? feet. Its steps face east."

Then he brought me back by way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces east, but it was shut.

"'For the prince there will be land on both sides of the holy allotment and the allotted city, alongside the holy allotment and the allotted city, on the west side and on the east side; it will be comparable in length to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border

"'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you will celebrate the Passover, and for seven days bread made without yeast will be eaten.

"'This is what the sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court that faces east will be closed six working days, but on the Sabbath day it will be opened and on the day of the new moon it will be opened.

When the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a voluntary offering to the Lord, the gate facing east will be opened for him, and he will provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings just as he did on the Sabbath. Then he will go out, and the gate will be closed after he goes out.

Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple. I noticed that water was flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from under the right side of the temple, from south of the altar.

He led me out by way of the north gate and brought me around the outside of the outer gate that faces toward the east; I noticed that the water was trickling out from the south side.

When the man went out toward the east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured 1,750 feet, and then he led me through water, which was ankle deep.

Again he measured 1,750 feet and led me through the water, which was now knee deep. Once more he measured 1,750 feet and led me through the water, which was waist deep.

On the east side, between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, will be the Jordan. You will measure from the border to the eastern sea. This is the east side.

On the west side the Great Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the west side.

"These are the names of the tribes: From the northern end beside the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan (which is on the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath), extending from the east side to the west, Dan will have one portion.

Next to the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, Asher will have one portion.

Next to the border of Asher from the east side to the west, Naphtali will have one portion.

Next to the border of Naphtali from the east side to the west, Manasseh will have one portion.

Next to the border of Manasseh from the east side to the west, Ephraim will have one portion.

Next to the border of Ephraim from the east side to the west, Reuben will have one portion.

Next to the border of Reuben from the east side to the west, Judah will have one portion.

"Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be eight and a quarter miles wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it.

These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles in length, toward the west three and one-third miles in width, toward the east three and one-third miles in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle.

these will be its measurements: The north side will be one and one-half miles, the south side one and one-half miles, the east side one and one-half miles, and the west side one and one-half miles.

The city will have open spaces: On the north there will be 437? feet, on the south 437? feet, on the east 437? feet, and on the west 437? feet.

The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be three and one-third miles to the east and three and one-third miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city.

"The rest, on both sides of the holy allotment and the property of the city, will belong to the prince. Extending from the eight and a quarter miles of the holy allotment to the east border, and westward from the eight and a quarter miles to the west border, alongside the portions, it will belong to the prince. The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it.

"As for the rest of the tribes: From the east side to the west side, Benjamin will have one portion.

Next to the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon will have one portion.

Next to the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar will have one portion.

Next to the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun will have one portion.

Next to the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad will have one portion.

On the east side, one and one-half miles in length, there will be three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan.

On the west side, one and one-half miles in length, there will be three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali.

While I was contemplating all this, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of all the land without touching the ground. This goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.

From one of them came a small horn. But it grew to be very big, toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.

I looked up and saw a man clothed in linen; around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz.

But reports will trouble him from the east and north, and he will set out in a tremendous rage to destroy and wipe out many.

He will roar like a lion, and they will follow the Lord; when he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

Ephraim continually feeds on the wind; he chases the east wind all day; he multiplies lies and violence. They make treaties with Assyria, and send olive oil as tribute to Egypt.

Even though he flourishes like a reed plant, a scorching east wind will come, a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert. As a result, his spring will dry up; his well will become dry. That wind will spoil all his delightful foods in the containers in his storehouse.

Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast! Make a public display of your voluntary offerings! For you love to do this, you Israelites." The sovereign Lord is speaking!

People will stagger from sea to sea, and from the north around to the east. They will wander about looking for a revelation from the Lord, but they will not find any.

Jonah left the city and sat down east of it. He made a shelter for himself there and sat down under it in the shade to see what would happen to the city.

When the sun began to shine, God sent a hot east wind. So the sun beat down on Jonah's head, and he grew faint. So he despaired of life, and said, "I would rather die than live!"

"The Lord who rules over all asserts, 'I am about to save my people from the lands of the east and the west.

On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which lies to the east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, leaving a great valley. Half the mountain will move northward and the other half southward.

For from the east to the west my name will be great among the nations. Incense and pure offerings will be offered in my name everywhere, for my name will be great among the nations," says the Lord who rules over all.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem

Now John wore clothing made from camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey.

I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

"Watch out," Jesus said to them, "beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

How could you not understand that I was not speaking to you about bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

Then they understood that he had not told them to be on guard against the yeast in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

John wore a garment made of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

And Jesus ordered them, "Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"

Meanwhile, when many thousands of the crowd had gathered so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Jesus also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A rainstorm is coming,' and it does.

It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.

Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough?

Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough -- you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

A little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise!

Stand firm therefore, by fastening the belt of truth around your waist, by putting on the breastplate of righteousness,

Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, who had the seal of the living God. He shouted out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given permission to damage the earth and the sea:

Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.
