It was because of their defilement and transgression that I treated them this way by hiding my presence from them.'"

For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Now will I turn back the captivity of Jacob, and I compassionated all the house of Israel, and I was jealous for my holy name

In my turning them back from the peoples, and I gathered them from the lands of their enemies, and I was consecrated in them before the eyes of many nations;

In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.

In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

And he brought me thither, 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.

And lo a wall on the outside of the house round about on every side, - and in the hand of the man, was the measuring reed six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth, so he measured the breadth of the enclosing-wall, one reed, and the height one reed.

Then he came to the gate which looketh towards the east, and ascended its stairs, and measured the threshhold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshhold of the gate, which was one reed broad.

And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshhold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.

Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

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.

And he measured the width of the doorway of the gate [as] ten cubits and the length of the gateway [was] thirteen cubits.

The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.

And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

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

The recesses and their pilasters had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticoes also had windows all around on the inside. Each pilaster was decorated with palm trees.

And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.

Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court; it was 175 feet. This was the east; next the north is described.

And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

And the little chambers of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.

And its windows and its porticos and its palm tree images [were] like the measurement of the gate that [was] {facing toward the east}; and {it had} seven steps that go up it, and [there were] porticos {before them}.

And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate towards the north, and towards the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

He brought me to the south side, and there was also a gate on the south. He measured its pilasters and portico; they had the same measurements as the others.

And there were windows in it and in its arches around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Its stairway had seven steps, and its portico was ahead of them. It had palm trees on its pilasters, one on each side.

And there was a gate in the inner court towards the south: and he measured from gate to gate towards the south a hundred cubits.

And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its arches around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

The covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; and there were palm-trees on the uprights: and there were eight steps going up to it.

And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, were according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its arches around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

And the covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

Its little chambers, its posts, and its arches, and the windows to it around: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

And its posts were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts, on this side and on that side: and its ascent was by eight steps.

And there was a chamber with its entrance, within the projections at the gates, - there, shall they rinse the ascending-sacrifice, m

And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.

So there were four tables inside the gate and four outside, eight tables in all on which the slaughtering was to be done.

And four tables [were] for the burnt offering, [and made of] dressed stones, one cubit and a half long and one cubit and a half wide and one cubit high {was their measurements}, and they placed the objects [with] which they slaughtered the burnt offering on them and the sacrifice.

And within were hooks, a hand broad, fastened around: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.

And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was towards the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect towards the north.

He [who was guiding me] said to me, “This is the chamber which faces toward the south; it is for the priests who have the responsibility and take care of the temple;

So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.

And 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.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.

And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length of it forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

Then went he inwards, and measured the projection of the entrance, two cubits, - and the entrance itself was six cubits, and the sides of the entrance seven cubits:

And by his measure it was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide in front of the Temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.

And the side-chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side-chambers around, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side-chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward around the house; therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

And I saw for the temple a platform {all the way around} the foundations of the side rooms; [it was] the length of a full reed, six cubits long.

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side-chambers that were within.

And between the chambers was the width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

And the doors of the side-chambers were towards the place that was left, one door towards the north, and another door towards the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits around.

Now the building that was before the separate place at the end towards the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick around, and its length ninety cubits.

And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;

And the east front of the house and of the separate place was a hundred cubits wide.

And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

the thresholds and the framed windows and the galleries around the three of them. Before the threshold [was] a covering of wood all around, and [from] the ground up to the windows, and [all around] the windows, [they were] covered.

And there was a roof over the doorway and as far as the inner house, and to the outside and on the wall all round, inside and outside.

And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, so that a palm-tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

So that the face of a man was towards the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm-tree on the other side: it was made through all the house around.

from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm-trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

As for the wall of the temple, the door-posts were square, - and as for the face of the holy place, the appearance was like the appearance of the temple .

The altar of wood was three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before the LORD.

And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there was a threshold of wood upon the face of the porch without.

Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way towards the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building towards the north.

Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors towards the north.

For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

And the wall that was without over against the chambers, towards the outer court on the forepart of the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.

For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.

And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.

And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were towards the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

And according to the doors of the chambers that were towards the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one entereth into them.

And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured the enclosure round about.

He measured the east side with a measuring rod;
it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.

He measured the north side;
it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.

He measured the south side;
it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.

He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

And he brought me to the gate which [was] {facing east}.

And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Kebar; and I fell upon my face.

And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.

And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

Then heard I one speaking unto me. out of the house, - and a man, there was standing beside me.

in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was [but] the wall between me and them. And they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. The

And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit in height and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.

And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

And the altar hearth [was] four cubits, and from the altar hearth and {upwards} [were] the four horns [of the altar].

And the altar hearth [was] {twelve} [cubits] [in] length and {twelve} [cubits] [in] width; [it was] {squared on its four sides}.

And the ledge [was] {fourteen} [cubits] in length with {fourteen} [cubits] [its] width to [all] four of its sides, and a rim [was] all around it of one-half cubit. And the gutter for it [was] a cubit all around, and its steps [were] facing east."

The next day, take a goat buck without blemish for a sin offering, to reconcile the altar withal: like as it was reconciled with the bullock.

And they finished the days, and it was in the eighth day and forward, the priests will do your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace: and I received you into favor, says the Lord Jehovah.

Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh towards the east; and it was shut.

And Jehovah will say to me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and a man shall not come in through it; because Jehovah God of Israel came in through it and it was shut.

And he took me to the north doorway in front of the house; and, looking, I saw that the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord; and I went down on my face.

And it was in their going in to the gates of the inner enclosure they shall put on linen garments; and wool shall not come up upon them in their serving in the gates of the inner enclosure, and the house.
