Son of man Set thy face the way towards Teman, And drop thy word against the land of the sun, And prophesy unto the forest of the field of the South;

And thou shalt say to the forest of the South Hear the word of Yahweh, - Thus saith My Lord Yahweh-Behold me! kindling in thee a fire. And it shall devour in thee every moist tree and every dry tree. The spreading flame shall not be quenched, Then shall be scorched thereby all faces from south to north;

Because I have cut off from thee the righteous and the lawless, Therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north:

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.

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 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.

Then spake he unto me saying, This chamber whose front is toward the south, is for the priests keeping the charge of the house;

And the entrance of the side-chamber, was at the vacant space, one entrance toward the north, and another entrance, toward the south, - and the breadth of the place left vacant was five cubits round about on every side.

And according to the entrances of the chambers which were toward the south, was the entrance at the head of the way - the way in the face of the covered wall, the way toward the east in entering them.

Then said he unto me, The chambers of the north the chambers of the south which face the secluded place, they are the holy chambers where the priests who draw near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things; there, shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt bearer, for the place is holy!

The south side, measured he, - five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.

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.

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 for the south side southward, from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, towards the torrent bed unto the great sea, - even the south side southward.

And pertaining to these, shall he the holy offering, even for the priests, northwards, five and twenty thousand, and westward, a breadth of ten thousand, and eastward, a breadth of ten thousand and south ward, length of five and twenty thousand, - so shall the sanctuary of Yahweh be in the midst thereof: -

These moreover shall be the measures thereof the north side, four thousand and five hundred, and the south side, four thousand and five hundred, - and the east side, four thousand and five hundred, and the west side, four thousand and five hundred.

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 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;
