* 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 #; eight tables , 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 . * And within were hooks , an hand broad , fastened round about : 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 sha #ar #; and their prospect was toward the south : one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north . * And he said unto me , This chamber , whose prospect is toward the south , is for the priests , the keepers of the charge of the house . * And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests , the keepers of the charge of the altar : these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi , which come near to the LORD to minister unto him . * So he measured the court , an hundred cubits long , and an 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 #H6240cubits ; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it : and there were pillars by the posts , one on this side , and another on that side .
