Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 #
H6240year after that the city was smitten ,
in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me ,
and brought me thither .
*
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel Yisra #
el #,
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 sha #
ar #.
*
And the man said unto me ,
Son of man ,
behold with thine eyes ,
and hear with thine ears ,
and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee ;
for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither :
declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about ,
and in the mans hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth :
so he measured the breadth of the building ,
one reed ;
and the height ,
one reed .
*
Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east ,
and went up the stairs thereof ,
and measured the threshold of the gate sha #
ar #,
which was one reed broad ;
and the other threshold 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 threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed .
*
He measured also the porch of the gate within ,
one reed .
*
Then measured he the porch of the gate sha #
ar #,
eight cubits ;
and the posts thereof ,
two cubits ;
and the porch of the gate was inward .
*
And the little chambers of the gate eastward derek #
were three on this side ,
and three on that side ;
they three were of one measure :
and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side .
*
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate sha #
ar #,
ten cubits ;
and the length of the gate sha #
ar #,
thirteen shalowsh #
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 .
*
He made also posts of threescore cubits ,
even unto the post of the court round about the gate sha #
ar #.
*
And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits .
*
And there were narrow windows to the little chambers ,
and to their posts within the gate round about ,
and likewise to the arches :
and windows were round about inward :
and upon each post were palm trees .
*
Then brought he me into the outward court ,
and ,
lo ,
there were chambers ,
and a pavement made for the court round about :
thirty chambers were upon the pavement .
*
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement .
*
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without ,
an hundred cubits eastward and northward .
*
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north ,
he measured the length thereof ,
and the breadth thereof .
*
And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side ;
and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate sha #
ar #:
the length thereof was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth five and twenty cubits .
*
And their windows ,
and their arches ,
and their palm trees ,
were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east ;
and they went up unto it by seven steps ma #
alah #;
and the arches thereof were before them .
*
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north ,
and toward the east ;
and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits .
*
After that he brought me toward the south ,
and behold a gate toward the south :
and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures .
*
And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about ,
like those windows :
the length was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth five and twenty cubits .
*
And there were seven steps to go up to it ,
and the arches thereof were before them :
and it had palm trees ,
one on this side ,
and another on that side ,
upon the posts thereof .
*
And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south :
and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits .
*
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate sha #
ar #:
and he measured the south gate according to these measures ;
*
And the little chambers thereof ,
and the posts thereof ,
and the arches thereof ,
according to these measures :
and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about :
it was fifty cubits long ,
and five and twenty cubits broad .
*
And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long ,
and five cubits broad .
*
And the arches thereof were toward the utter court ;
and palm trees were upon the posts thereof :
and the going up to it had eight steps ma #
alah #.
*
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east :
and he measured the gate according to these measures .
*
And the little chambers thereof ,
and the posts thereof ,
and the arches thereof ,
were according to these measures :
and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about :
it was fifty cubits long ,
and five and twenty cubits broad .
*
And the arches thereof were toward the outward court ;
and palm trees were upon the posts thereof ,
on this side ,
and on that side :
and the going up to it had eight steps ma #
alah #.
*
And he brought me to the north gate sha #
ar #,
and measured it according to these measures ;
*
The little chambers thereof ,
the posts thereof ,
and the arches thereof ,
and the windows to it round about :
the length was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth five and twenty cubits .
*
And the posts thereof were toward the utter court ;
and palm trees were upon the posts thereof ,
on this side ,
and on that side :
and the going up to it had eight steps ma #
alah #.
*
And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates sha #
ar #,
where they washed the burnt offering .
*
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side ,
and two tables on that side ,
to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering .
*
And at the side without ,
as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate sha #
ar #,
were two tables ;
and on the other side ,
which was at the porch of the gate sha #
ar #,
were two tables .
*
Four tables were on this side ,
and four tables on that side ,
by the side of the gate sha #
ar #;

whereupon they slew their sacrifices .
*
And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering ,
of a cubit and an half long ,
and a cubit and an half broad ,
and one cubit high :
whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice .
