Ezekiel 40:28-47

28Next he brought meH935 intoH413 the innerH6442 courtH2691 through the southH1864 gateH8179, and he measuredH4058 the southH1864 gateH8179; it had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. 29Its gate chambersH8372, side pillarsH352, and porticoH361 had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. Both the gateway and its porticoH361 had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439; it was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 30(The porticoesH361 aroundH5439 the inner court were twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 longH753 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 deepH7341.1) 31Its porticoH361 facedH413 the outerH2435 courtH2691, and its side pillarsH352 were decorated with palm treesH8561H413. EightH8083 stepsH4609 led up to itH4608.

32And he brought meH935 toH413 the innerH6442 courtH2691 onH1870 the east sideH6921, and he measuredH4058 the gatewayH8179; it had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. 33Its gate chambersH8372, side pillarsH352, and porticoH361 had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428. Both the gateway and its porticoH361 had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439. It was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 34Its porticoH361 faced the outerH2435 courtH2691, and its side pillarsH413 were decorated with palm treesH8561H413 on each sideH6311. EightH8083 stepsH4609 led up to itH4608.

35Then he brought meH935 toH413 the northH6828 gateH8179 and measuredH4058 it. It had the same measurementsH4060 as the othersH428, 36as did its gate chambersH8372, side pillarsH413, and porticoH361. It also had windowsH2474 all aroundH5439. It was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 37Its porticoH3522 faced the outerH2435 courtH2691, and its side pillarsH352 were decorated with palm treesH8561H413 on each sideH6311. EightH8083 stepsH4609 led up to itH4608.

38There was a chamberH3957 with a doorwayH6607 by the porticoH3523 in each of the inner gatewaysH8179. ThereH8033 the burnt offeringH5930 was to be washedH1740. 39Inside the porticoH197 of the gatewayH8179 were twoH8147 tablesH7979 on each sideH6311H8147H7979, on whichH413 the burnt offeringsH5930, sin offeringsH2403, and guilt offeringsH817 were to be slaughteredH7819.

40OutsideH2351, as one goes upH5927 to the entranceH6607 of the northH6828 gatewayH8179, there were twoH8147 tablesH7979 onH413 one sideH3802 and twoH8147 more tablesH7979 onH413 the otherH312 sideH3802 of the gate’sH8179 porticoH197. 41So there were fourH702 tablesH7979 insideH6311 the gatewayH8179 and fourH702 outsideH6311—eightH8083 tablesH7979 in allH413—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughteredH7819.

42There were also fourH702 tablesH7979 of dressed stoneH68H1496 for the burnt offeringH5930, each a cubitH520 and aH259 halfH2677 longH753, a cubitH520 and aH259 halfH2677 wideH7341, and aH259 cubitH520 highH1363.4 On theseH413 were placedH5117 the utensilsH3627 used to slaughterH7819 the burnt offeringsH5930 and the other sacrificesH2077.

43The double-pronged hooksH8240,5 each aH259 handbreadthH2948 long,6 were fastenedH3559 all aroundH5439 the inside of the roomH1004, and the fleshH1320 of the offeringH7133 was to be placed onH413 the tablesH7979.

44OutsideH2351 the innerH6442 gateH8179, within the innerH6442 courtH2691, were two chambersH3957,7 one besideH413H3802 the northH6828 gateH8179 and facingH6440H1870 southH1864, and anotherH259 besideH413H3802 the south gateH8179H69218 and facingH6440H1870 northH6828.

45Then the man saidH1696 to meH413: “TheH2090 chamberH3957 thatH834 facesH6440H1870 southH1864 is for the priestsH3548 who keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the templeH1004, 46and the chamberH3957 thatH834 facesH6440H1870 northH6828 is for the priestsH3548 who keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the altarH4196. TheseH1992 are the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, the only LevitesH1121H3878H413 who may approachH7131 the LORDH3068 to minister before HimH8334.”

47Next he measuredH4058 the courtH2691. It was squareH7251, a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 longH753 and a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 wideH7341. And the altarH4196 was in frontH6440 of the templeH1004.
