Now, the Nethinim, were dwelling in Ophel, - as far as over against the water-gate, on the east, and the tower that projecteth;

Then all the people gathered themselves together as one man, into the broad way that was before the water-gate, - and they spake unto Ezra the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded Israel.

and read therein, before the broad place which was before the water-gate, from the time it was light, until the noon of the day, in presence of the men and the women, and such as had understanding, - and, the ears of all the people, were unto the book of the law.

So the people went forth, and brought in, and made themselves booths, every one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.

and, over they fountain gate and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, - above the house of David, even as far as the water-gate, eastward.

And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men, and pursued them before the gate as far as the Shebarim, and smote them on the slope, - so that the heart of the people melted and became as water.

And David longed, and said, - Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

And the three mighty men brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, - yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh,

And David longed, and said - Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, - yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;

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 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 above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, - and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.

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.

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 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 a gate, had the inner court towards the south, - so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.

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.

All the land shall turn into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, - and shall lift herself on high and abide in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin up to the place of the first gate, up to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel up to the wine-presses of the king.

So I went forth through the valley-gate by night, even unto the front of the snake-fountain, and into the dung-gate, - and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, how, they, were broken down, and, the gates thereof, consumed with fire.

and be brought in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where, the priests, had burned incense, from Geba unto Beer-sheba, - and brake down the high places of the gates, that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on one's left hand, in the gate of the city;

And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, - and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah princes of the people.

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, eight cubits, and the projections thereof two cubits, - and the porch of the gate was within,

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

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

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

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.

And they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city, - and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth out of the gate of his city.

And he said to them - Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, - pass through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his neighbour.

and, Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, was taken by Joash king of Israel, in Beth-shemesh, - and he brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the corner-gate, four hundred cubits;

And Uzziah built towers, in Jerusalem, over the corner-gate, and over the valley-gate, and over the angle, - and he made them strong.

The valley-gate, did Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah, repair, - they, built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, - also a thousand cubits in the wall, as far as the dung-gate.

and went in as far as before the gate of the king, - for, none, might enter into the gate of the king, clothed with sackcloth.

So the king arose, and took his seat in the gate, - and, to all the people, was it told, saying - Lo! the king, is sitting in the gate. Then came all the people before the king, but, Israel, had fled every man to his home.

Now, the king, had set the officer on whose hand he leaned, in charge over the gate, and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died, - as spake the man of God, who said it when the messenger came down to him.

and, a third, in the side-gate; and, a third, in the gate behind the runners, - so shall ye keep the watch of the house, by turns.

and, upon Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, did Jehoash king of Israel, seize, in Beth-shemesh, - and entered Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim, as far as the corner gate, four hundred cubits;

and, hitherto, they were in the gate of the king, eastward, - the same, were the keepers of the gate, for the camps of the sons of Levi.

and he caused to stand, according to the regulation of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service and of the Levites over their charges, to offer praise and to minister before the priests, for the duty of each day upon its own day, and the gate-keepers in their courses, at every several gate, - for, such, was the commandment of David the man of God;

This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, - and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.

But, whosoever shall drink of the water which, I, will give him, in nowise shall thirst, unto times age-abiding, - but, the water which I will give him, shall become, within him, a fountain of water, springing up unto life age-abiding.

Now, David, was sitting between the two gates, - and the watchman went on to the top of the gate-house, upon the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man, running alone.

Stand thou in the gate of the house of Yahweh, and thou shalt proclaim there this word, - and shalt say - Hear ye the word of Yahweh all Judah ye who are entering in at these gates, to bow down unto Yahweh:

Thus, said Yahweh unto me - Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter in, and through which they come out, - also in all the gates of Jerusalem.

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, - and went and filled the skin with water, and gave drink unto the boy

And he made the camels kneel down outside the city, against the well of water, - at the time of evening, at the time of the coming forth of the women that drew water,

Here am, I, stationed by the fountain of water, - and, the daughters of the men of the city, are coming forth to draw water:

here, am I stationed by the fountain of water, - so then it shall come to pass that, the maiden that is coming forth to draw, and I shall say unto her Let me drink. I pray thee a little water out of thy pitcher;

For this they, willfully, forget - that there were, heavens, from of old, and, an earth, on account of water and by means of water, compacted, by God's word, -

and it shall come to pass if they will not believe even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, - so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on the dry land.

And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink, - for they could not drink of the water of the river.

And, whomsoever he that hath the flux toucheth, not having rinsed, his hands in water, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening,

and the priest shall take hallowed water in an earthen vessel, - and of the dust which shall be upon the floor of the habitation, shall the priest take, and put into the water;

and shall cause the woman to drink the deadly water that causeth a curse, - and the deadly water that causeth a curse shall enter into her.

And as soon as he causeth her to drink, the water, then shall it be, that, if she have fallen into uncleanness and committed unfaithfulness against her husband, as soon as the deadly water that causeth a curse hath entered into her, so soon shall her womb swell and her thigh fall away, - thus shall the woman be-come a curse in the midst of her people.

And, he that burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, - and be unclean until the evening,

So shall it be unto them for statute age-abiding, - and, he that sprinkleth the water of separation, shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening;

whatsoever thing can go into fire, ye shall pass through fire and it shall be clean, only with the water of separation, shall ye cleanse it (from sin). But whatsoever cannot go into fire, ye shall pass through water.

And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, - though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom,

who caused thee to journey through the great and terrible desert, of fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty wastes where was no water, - who brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;

And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water, - and the eunuch saith - Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?

And the water ran round about the altar, - moreover also, the trench, filled he with water.

but hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place of thy fathers.

He turneth A Desert, into a pool of water, and, A Parched Land into springs of water;

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.

I will open, On bare hills rivers, and In the midst of plains, fountains, - I will make The desert, a lake of water, and Parched land, springs of water;

For two wicked things, have my people committed, - Me, have they forsaken a fountain of living water, To hew out for themselves cisterns broken cisterns, that cannot hold water.

Then will Yahweh guide thee continually, And will satisfy, even in scorched regions thine own soul, Yea Shy very bones, will he invigorate, - So shall thou become like a garden well - watered, And like a spring of water whose waters do not deceive;

Then put he forth the similitude of a hand, and took me by the forelock of my head, - and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens and brought me to Jerusalem in the visions of God into the opening of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the Statue of Jealousy. that provoketh to jealousy;

Then said he unto me, Son of man Lift up. I pray thee thine eyes, the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and 1o! on the north by the gate of the altar, this Statue of Jealousy, in the entrance.

So he brought me into the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh, which was toward the north, - and Lo! there, women sitting, weeping for Tammuz.

And lo! six men coming in out of the way of the upper gate which looketh toward the north even every man with his destructive weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst clothed with linen, having a scribes ink holder by his side, - so they came in and stood beside the altar of bronze.

then the cherubim uplifted their wings and arose from the earth before mine eyes as they went forth, the wheels also in unison with them, - and it stood at the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh that was toward the east, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.

then was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about, - and they went the way towards the Waste Plain.
