bbe @Ezekiel:40:1 @In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners , in the first month of the year , on the tenth day of the month , in the fourteenth year after the town was taken , on the very same day , the hand of the Lord was on me , and he took me there . bbe @Ezekiel:40:2 @In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel , and put me down on a very high mountain , on which there was , as it seemed , a building like a town opposite me . bbe @Ezekiel:40:3 @He took me there , and I saw a man , looking like brass , with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod : and he was stationed in the doorway . bbe @Ezekiel:40:4 @And the man said to me , Son of man , see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears , and take to heart everything I am going to let you see ; for in order that I might let you see them , you have come here : and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel . bbe @Ezekiel:40:5 @And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round , and in the man 's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand 's measure : so he took the measure of the building from side to side , one rod ; and from base to top , one rod . bbe @Ezekiel:40:6 @Then he came to the doorway looking to the east , and went up by its steps ; and he took the measure of the doorstep , one rod wide . bbe @Ezekiel:40:7 @And the watchmen 's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide ; and the space between the rooms was five cubits ; the doorstep of the doorway , by the covered way of the doorway inside , was one rod . bbe @Ezekiel:40:8 @And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside , bbe @Ezekiel:40:9 @Eight cubits ; and its uprights , two cubits ; the covered way of the doorway was inside . bbe @Ezekiel:40:10 @And the rooms of the doorway on the east were three on this side and three on that ; all three were of the same size ; and the uprights on this side and on that were of the same size . bbe @Ezekiel:40:11 @And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway , ten cubits wide ; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits ; bbe @Ezekiel:40:12 @And the space in front of the rooms , a cubit on this side and a cubit on that side ; and the rooms six cubits on this side and six cubits on that . bbe @Ezekiel:40:13 @And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other , twenty-five cubits across , from door to door . bbe @Ezekiel:40:14 @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 . bbe @Ezekiel:40:15 @And from before the opening of the doorway to before the inner covered way of the doorway was fifty cubits . bbe @Ezekiel:40:16 @And the rooms and their uprights had sloping windows inside the doorway all round , and in the same way the covered way had windows all round on the inside : and on every upright there were palm-trees . bbe @Ezekiel:40:17 @Then he took me into the outer square , and there were rooms and a stone floor made for the open square all round : there were thirty rooms on the stone floor . bbe @Ezekiel:40:18 @And the stone floor was by the side of the doorways , and was as wide as the doorways were long , even the lower floor . bbe @Ezekiel:40:19 @Then he took the measure of the square across , from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside , one hundred cubits . And he took me in the direction of the north , bbe @Ezekiel:40:20 @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 . bbe @Ezekiel:40:21 @And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that ; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway : it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide . bbe @Ezekiel:40:22 @And its windows , and the windows of its covered ways , and its palm-trees , were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east ; and there were seven steps up to it ; and the covered way went inside . bbe @Ezekiel:40:23 @And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north , like the doorway on the east ; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway , a hundred cubits . bbe @Ezekiel:40:24 @And he took me to the south , and I saw a doorway looking to the south : and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures . bbe @Ezekiel:40:25 @And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round , like the other windows : it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide . bbe @Ezekiel:40:26 @And there were seven steps up to it , and its covered way went inside : and it had palm-trees , one on this side and one on that , on its uprights . bbe @Ezekiel:40:27 @And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south : he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south , a hundred cubits . bbe @Ezekiel:40:28 @Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway : and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures ; bbe @Ezekiel:40:29 @And the rooms in it and the uprights and the covered ways , by these measures : bbe @Ezekiel:40:30 @And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round : it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide . bbe @Ezekiel:40:31 @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 . bbe @Ezekiel:40:32 @And he took me into the inner square facing the east : and he took the measure of the doorway by these measures ; bbe @Ezekiel:40:33 @And of the rooms in it and its uprights and its covered ways , by these measures : and there were windows in it and in the covered way round about : it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide . bbe @Ezekiel:40:34 @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 . bbe @Ezekiel:40:35 @And he took me to the north doorway : and he took the measure of it by these measures ; bbe @Ezekiel:40:36 @Its rooms , its uprights , and its covered way had the same measures , and its covered way had windows all round : it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide . bbe @Ezekiel:40:37 @Its uprights were on the side nearest to 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 . bbe @Ezekiel:40:38 @And there was a room with a door in the covered way of the doorway , where the burned offering was washed . bbe @Ezekiel:40:39 @And in the covered way of the doorway there were two tables on this side and two tables on that side , on which the burned offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error were put to death : bbe @Ezekiel:40:40 @On the outer side , to the north , as one goes up to the opening of the doorway , were two tables . bbe @Ezekiel:40:41 @There were four tables on one side and four tables on the other , by the side of the doorway ; eight tables , on which they put to death the beasts for the offerings . bbe @Ezekiel:40:42 @And there were four tables for the burned offering , made of cut stone , one and a half cubits long , one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high , where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings . bbe @Ezekiel:40:43 @And they had edges all round as wide as a man 's hand : and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings . bbe @Ezekiel:40:44 @And he took me into the inner square , and there were two rooms in the inner square , one at the side of the north doorway , facing south ; and one at the side of the south doorway , facing north . bbe @Ezekiel:40:45 @And he said to me , This room , facing south , is for the priests who have the care of the house . bbe @Ezekiel:40:46 @And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar : these are the sons of Zadok , who , from among the sons of Levi , come near to the Lord to do the work of his house . bbe @Ezekiel:40:47 @And he took the measure of the open square , a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide , being square ; and the altar was in front of the house . bbe @Ezekiel:40:48 @Then he took me to the covered way before the house , and took the measure of its uprights , five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other : and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide ; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other . bbe @Ezekiel:40:49 @The covered way was twenty cubits long and twelve cubits wide , and they went up to it by ten steps ; and there were pillars by the uprights , one on one side and one on the other .
