Therefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, - Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,

Wilt thou really say, God, am I, before him who is slaying thee; When, thou, art a man and not a God, in the hand of them who are piercing h thee?

In Eden the garden of God, thou wast. Of every precious stone, was thy covering-Sardius. topaz, and diamond, Chrysolite beryl, and jasper, Sapphire carbuncle and emerald,- And of gold, was the work of thy timbrels and thy flutes within thee, In the day thou wast created, were they prepared:

Thou, wast the anointed cherub that covered, - When I appointed thee, in the holy mount of God, thou wast, Amid stones of fire, thou didst walk to and fro:

By the abundance of fly traffic, they fled thy midst with violence And thou didst sin,- So I cast thee as profane a out of the mountain of God. And destroyed thee O covering cherub, from amid the stones of fire:

and thou shalt say - Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against thee, O Zidon, Therefore will I get myself glory in thy midst, - And they shall know that I am Yahweh, When I have executed against her judgments And hallowed myself in her.

Yea they shall dwell thereupon securely, Yea shall bud houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, - When I have executed judgments on all that despised them on every side of them, So shall they know that, I, Yahweh am their God

Therefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! bringing upon thee a sword,- And I will cut off out of thee, man and beast;

Pour out mine indignation upon Sin the stronghold of Egypt, and Will cut off the multitude of No.

Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, - no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto him in his beauty.

Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches,- Therefore was be envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.

Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, - Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:

When I make the land of Egypt an astonishment A land laid bare of its fulness, When I cut off all that dwell therein, Then shall they know that, I am Yahweh.

In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, - There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.

Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must also trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining - with your feet, ye must needs foul?

And, I, Yahweh will become to them a God. My servant David being a prince in their midst; - I, Yahweh, have spoken;

So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them,- And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.

Ye, therefore my flock the flock of my pasture are men, - am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

So then I will deliver up Mount Seir to desolation after desolation,- And will cut off therefrom him that passeth by and him that returneth,

And I will multiply upon you - man and beast, And hey shall multiply and be fruitful, - And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;

And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers,- And ye shall become my people, And I will become your God;

Then shall ye call to mind Your ways that were wicked, and Your doings that were not good,- And shall become loathsome in your own sight. For your iniquities and For your abominations.

Then said he unto me, Son of man. These bones, are all the house of Israel, - Lo! they are saying. Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope We are quite cut off!

Neither shall they defile themselves any more With their manufactured gods or With their detestable things, or With any of their transgressions,- But I will save them out of all their dwelling- places, wherein they have sinned, And I will cleanse them And they shall become nay people, And I, will become their God.

And my habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God,- And they, shall become my people,

And they shall not take wood out of the field Neither shall they cut down out of the forests,- For of the armour, shall they make fires,- So shall they spoil those who spoiled them And prey on those who preyed on hem, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.

Yea all the people of the land I shall bury I, and it shall become to them a memorial, - the day that E get myself glory, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.

So shall the house of Israel know that I, Yah, am their God, - from that day and forward;

And they shall know that I, Yahweh, ara their God, When I have carried them into exe among the nations, And shall then gather them upon their own soil,- And shall no more leave any of them there.

In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, - and set me down upon an exceeding high mountain, and thereupon, was, as it were the structure of a city, on the south.

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 came he unto the gate that looked toward the east, and went up by the steps thereof, - and measured the threshold of the gate one reed bread, and the other threshold one reed broad.

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,

And I the ledges of the gate that was towards the east were, three on this side and three on that side, one measure, had they three, - and one measure, had the projections on this side and on that side.

Then measured he the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits - the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,

Then measured he the gate, from the roof of this lodge to the roof of that, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, - entrance over against entrance.

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 latticed windows had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses, - and windows round about on every side inwards, and against each projection, palm trees.

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 lodges thereof were three on this side and throe on that side, and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof were according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits the length thereof, and, the breadth, twenty-five, by the cubit.

And the windows thereof and the recesses thereof and the palm-trees thereof were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east, - and by seven steps, they ascend it, and their recesses were within,

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.

Then he took me toward the south, and lo! In gate toward the south, - and he measured the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures.

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

And when he brought me to the north gate, then measured he according to these measures:

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.

Four tables on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate,-eight tables whereupon they shall slay.

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.

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:

And when he had ended the measurings of the inner house, then he brought me forth by way of the gate which looked toward the east, - and measured it round about on every side.

Then he took me unto the gate, - even the gate that locked toward the east.;

when lo! the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east, - and the sound of him, was as the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory, a

And the glory of Yahweh entered into the house, - by way of the gate which locked toward the east.

And on the second day, shalt thou bring near a kid of the goats without defect as a sin-bearer, - and they shall cleanse the altar from sin just as they cleansed it from sin with the bullock,

Seven days, shalt thou offer a sin-bearing goat for each day, - and a young bullock and aram out of the flock without defect, shall they offer.

Then he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looked toward the east, - but, it was shut.

Then said Yahweh unto me This gate shut, shall remain It shall not be opened And no man shall enter thereby, Because Yahweh, God of Israel, doth enter thereby,- Therefore shall it remain - shut.

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.

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.

As for the meal-offering and the sin-bearer and the gut-bearer, they shall eat them, - And everything devoted in Israel to them, shall belong.

And the statutory portion of oil shall be - per bath for oil - a tenth part of a bath out of a cot, which is ten baths even a homer; for ten baths are a homer.

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.

and the seven days of the festival, shall he offer as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh seven bullocks and seven rams without defect, day, for the seven days, - and as a sin- bearer, a young goat day;

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.

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 the people of the land I shall bow down at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and at the new moons, - before Yahweh.

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.

But when the people of the land shall enter before Yahweh on the appointed feasts, he that entereth by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by way of the south gate, and he that entereth by way of the south gate shall go forth by way of the north gate, - he shall not return by way of the gate by which he entered, but straight-forward, shall he go forth.

And when the prince would offer as a free- will offering, an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh, then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east, and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just a. he would offer on the sabbath day,- and when he shall go forth, then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth.

Then he brought me in through the entrance which was by the side of the gate, into the chambers of the holy place for the priests, those facing the north, - and lo! there a place, in the hinder parts westwards.

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,

Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and took me round by an outer way, unto an outer gate that which looketh eastward - and lo! waters trickling forth out of the right side.

And on the boundary of Zebulun from the east side unto the west side, Gad, one.

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.

And the gates of the city, shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates, northward,-the gate of Reuben, one the gate of Judah, one the gate of Levi one;

and on he east side, four thousand and five hundred, with three gates, - even the gate of Joseph, one the gate of Benjamin, one the gate of Dan, one;

and on the south side, four thousand and five hundred in measure, with three gates, - the gate of Simeon, one the gate of Issachar, one the gate of Zebulun, one;

on the west side, four thousand and five hundred, the gates three, - the gate of Gad, one the gate of Asher, one, The gate of Naphtali one.

and the Lord gave into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and a part of the vessels of the house of God, and he brought them into the land of Shinar, into the house of his gods, - and, the vessels, brought he into the treasure-house of his gods.

But, although God had brought Daniel into lovingkindness and tender compassion, before the ruler of the eunuchs,

And, as for these four youths, God, gave them, knowledge and skill, in all learning and wisdom, - and, Daniel, had discernment, in all visions and dreams.

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word from me, is unalterable: If ye shall not make known to me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and, your houses, into a dunghill, shall be turned;

that, tender compassion, they might seek from before the God of the heavens, concerning this secret, - that Daniel and his companions, might not be destroyed, with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Then, unto Daniel - in a vision of the night, the secret was revealed, - whereupon, Daniel, blessed the God of the heavens:

Daniel responded, and said, Let the name of God be blessed from age to age, - in that wisdom and might, to him belong;

Unto the, O God of my fathers, do I render thanks and praise, in that, wisdom and might, thou hast given unto me, - yea, already, hast thou made known to me that which we desired of thee, for, the matter of the king, hast thou made known unto us.

but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and hath made known to King Nebuchadnezzar, what shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days: Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are, these: -

But, as for me - not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me, - therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation - unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.

Thou, O king, art the king of kings, - for, the God of the heavens, hath given unto thee, the kingship, the might, the power and the dignity;

And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left, - it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages.

Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.

The king answered Daniel, and said - Of a truth, your God, is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, - seeing thou wast able to reveal this secret.

And, Daniel, desired of the king, and he appointed - over the business of the province of Babylon - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, - but, Daniel himself, was in the gate of the king.
