Ezekiel 40:5-47
5And beholdH2009, there was a 1wallH2346 on the outsideH2351 of the 2templeH1004 allH5439 aroundH5439, and in the man’sH376 handH3027 was a measuringH4060 rodH7070 of sixH8337 cubitsH520, each of which was a cubitH520 and a 3handbreadthH2948. So he measuredH4058 the thicknessH7341 of the 4wallH2346, oneH259 rodH7070; and the heightH6967, oneH259 rodH7070. 6Then he wentH935 to the gateH8179 whichH834 facedH6440 5eastH6921, wentH5927 up its stepsH4609 and measuredH4058 the thresholdH5592 of the gateH8179, oneH259 rodH7070 6in widthH7341; and the otherH259 thresholdH5592 was oneH259 rodH7070 7in widthH7341. 7The 8guardroomH8372 was oneH259 rodH7070 longH753 and oneH259 rodH7070 wideH7341; and there were fiveH2568 cubitsH520 betweenH996 the guardroomsH8372. And the thresholdH5592 of the gateH8179 by the porchH197 of the gateH8179 9facingH4480 inwardH1004 was oneH259 rodH7070. 8Then he measuredH4058 the porchH197 of the gateH8179 10facingH4480 inwardH1004, oneH259 rodH7070. 9He measuredH4058 the porchH197 of the gateH8179, eightH8083 cubitsH520; and its sideH352 pillarsH352, twoH8147 cubitsH520. And the porchH197 of the gateH8179 was 11facedH1004 inwardH1004. 10The guardroomsH8372 of the gateH8179 towardH1870 the eastH6921 numbered threeH7969 on eachH6311 sideH6311; the threeH7969 of them had the sameH259 measurementH4060. The sideH352 pillarsH352 also had the sameH259 measurementH4060 on eachH6311 sideH6311. 11And he measuredH4058 the widthH7341 of the 12gatewayH6607H8179, tenH6235 cubitsH520, and the lengthH753 of the gateH8179, thirteenH7969H6240 cubitsH520. 12There was a 13barrierH1366 wall oneH259 cubitH520 wide in frontH6440 of the guardroomsH8372 on eachH6311 sideH6311; and the guardroomsH8372 were sixH8337 cubitsH520 square on eachH6311 sideH6311. 13He measuredH4058 the gateH8179 from the roofH1406 of the one guardroomH8372 to the roofH1406 of the other, a widthH7341 of twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 from one doorH6607 to the doorH6607 oppositeH5048. 14He madeH6213 the sideH352 pillarsH352 sixtyH8346 cubitsH520 high; the gateH8179 extended roundH5439 aboutH5439 to the sideH352 pillarH352 of the 14courtyardH2691. 15From the frontH6440 of the entranceH382 gateH8179 to the frontH6440 of the innerH6442 porchH197 of the gateH8179 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520. 16There were 1516shutteredH331 windowsH2474 looking towardH413 the guardroomsH8372, and towardH413 their sideH352 pillarsH352 withinH6441 the gateH8179 allH5439 aroundH5439, and likewiseH3651 for the porchesH361. And there were windowsH2474 allH5439 aroundH5439 insideH6441; and on each sideH352 pillarH352 were 17palmH8561 treeH8561 ornamentsH8561.
17Then he broughtH935 me into the 18outerH2435 courtH2691, and beholdH2009, there were 19chambersH3957 and a pavementH7531 madeH6213 for the courtH2691 allH5439 aroundH5439; thirtyH7970 chambersH3957 20facedH413 the pavementH7531. 18The pavementH7531 (that is, the lowerH8481 pavementH7531) was by the 21sideH3802 of the gatesH8179, correspondingH5980 to the lengthH753 of the gatesH8179. 19Then he measuredH4058 the widthH7341 from the frontH6440 of the 22lowerH8481 gateH8179 to the frontH6440 of the exteriorH2351 of the innerH6442 courtH2691, a 23hundredH3967 cubitsH520 on the eastH6921 and on the northH6828.
20As for the 24gateH8179 of the outerH2435 courtH2691 whichH834 facedH6440 the northH6828, he measuredH4058 its lengthH753 and its widthH7341. 2125It had threeH7969 26guardroomsH8372 on eachH6311 sideH6311; and its 27sideH352 pillarsH352 and its porchesH361 28hadH1961 the same measurementH4060 as the firstH7223 gateH8179. Its lengthH753 was 29fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 and the widthH7341 30twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520. 22Its 31windowsH2474 and its porchesH361 and its palmH8561 treeH8561 ornamentsH8561 had the same measurementsH4060 as the 32gateH8179 whichH834 facedH6440 towardH1870 the eastH6921; and 33it was reachedH5927 by sevenH7651 34stepsH4609, and its 35porchH361 was in frontH6440 of them. 23The innerH6442 courtH2691 had a gateH8179 oppositeH5048 the gateH8179 on the northH6828 as well as the gate on the eastH6921; and he measuredH4058 a 36hundredH3967 cubitsH520 from gateH8179 to gateH8179.
24Then he ledH1980 me towardH1870 the southH1864, and beholdH2009, there was a 37gateH8179 towardH1870 the southH1864; and he measuredH4058 its 38sideH352 pillarsH352 and its porchesH361 according to 39thoseH428 same measurementsH4060. 2540The gate and its porchesH361 had 41windowsH2474 allH5439 aroundH5439 like 42thoseH428 other windowsH2474; the lengthH753 was 43fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 and the widthH7341 twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520. 26There were sevenH7651 44stepsH4609 goingH5927 up to it, and its porchesH361 were in frontH6440 of them; and it had 45palmH8561 treeH8561 ornamentsH8561 on its sideH352 pillarsH352, oneH259 on eachH6311 sideH6311. 27The innerH6442 courtH2691 had a gateH8179 towardH1870 the 46southH1864; and he measuredH4058 from gateH8179 to gateH8179 towardH1870 the southH1864, a 47hundredH3967 cubitsH520.
28Then he broughtH935 me to the innerH6442 courtH2691 by the southH1864 gateH8179; and he measuredH4058 the southH1864 gateH8179 48according to thoseH428 same measurementsH4060. 29Its 49guardroomsH8372 also, its sideH352 pillarsH352 and its 50porchesH361 were according to thoseH428 same measurementsH4060. And 51the gate and its porchesH361 had 52windowsH2474 allH5439 aroundH5439; it was 53fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 30There were 54porchesH361 allH5439 aroundH5439, twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 longH753 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 31Its porchesH361 were towardH413 the outerH2435 courtH2691; and 55palmH8561 treeH8561 ornamentsH8561 were on its sideH352 pillarsH352, and its stairwayH4608 had eightH8083 56stepsH4609.
32He broughtH935 me into the 57innerH6442 courtH2691 towardH1870 the eastH6921. And he measuredH4058 the gateH8179 58according to thoseH428 same measurementsH4060. 33Its 59guardroomsH8372 also, its sideH352 pillarsH352 and its porchesH361 were according to thoseH428 same measurementsH4060. And 60the gate and its porchesH361 had 61windowsH2474 allH5439 aroundH5439; it was 62fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341. 34Its 63porchesH361 were toward the outerH2435 courtH2691; and 64palmH8561 treeH8561 ornamentsH8561 were on its sideH352 pillarsH352, on eachH6311 sideH6311, and its stairwayH4608 had eightH8083 65stepsH4609.
35Then he broughtH935 me to the 66northH6828 gateH8179; and he measuredH4058 it according to thoseH428 same measurementsH4060, 36with its 67guardroomsH8372, its sideH352 pillarsH352 and its 68porchesH361. And 69the gate had 70windowsH2474 allH5439 aroundH5439; the lengthH753 was 71fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 and the widthH7341 twenty-fiveH6242H2568 cubitsH520. 37Its sideH352 pillarsH352 were toward the outerH2435 courtH2691; and 72palmH8561 treeH8561 ornamentsH8561 were on its sideH352 pillarsH352 on eachH6311 sideH6311, and its stairwayH4608 had eightH8083 73stepsH4609.
38A 74chamberH3957 with its doorwayH6607 was by the sideH352 pillarsH352 at the gatesH8179; thereH8033 they 75rinseH1740 the burntH5930 offeringH5930. 39In the porchH197 of the gateH8179 were twoH8147 76tablesH7979 on eachH6311 sideH6311, on which to slaughterH7819 the 77burntH5930 offeringH5930, the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the guiltH817 offeringH817. 40On the outerH2351 78sideH3802, 79as one wentH5927 up to the 80gatewayH6607H8179 toward the northH6828, were twoH8147 tablesH7979; and on the otherH312 81sideH3802 of the porchH197 of the gateH8179 were twoH8147 tablesH7979. 41FourH702 82tablesH7979 were on eachH6311 sideH6311 83nextH3802 to the gateH8179; or, eightH8083 tablesH7979 on which they slaughterH7819 sacrifices. 42For the burntH5930 offeringH5930 there were fourH702 84tablesH7979 of 85hewnH1496 stoneH68, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677 longH753, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677 wideH7341 and oneH259 cubitH520 highH1363, on which they layH5117 the instrumentsH3627 with whichH834 they slaughterH7819 the 86burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077. 43The doubleH8240 87hooksH8240, oneH259 handbreadthH2948 in length, were installedH3559 88in the houseH1004 allH5439 aroundH5439; and on the tablesH7979 was the fleshH1320 of the offeringH7133.
44From the outsideH2351 to the 89innerH6442 gateH8179 were 9091chambersH3957 for the 92singersH7891 in the innerH6442 courtH2691, one of whichH834 was at the 93sideH3802 of the northH6828 gateH8179, with 94its frontH6440 towardH1870 the southH1864, and oneH259 at the 95sideH3802 of the 96south gateH8179 facingH6440 towardH1870 the northH6828. 45He saidH1696 to me, “ThisH2090 is the 97chamberH3957 whichH834 facesH6440 towardH1870 the southH1864, intended for the priestsH3548 who 98keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the 99templeH1004; 46but the 100chamberH3957 whichH834 facesH6440 towardH1870 the northH6828 is for the priestsH3548 who 101keepH8104 chargeH4931 of the altarH4196. TheseH1992 are the 102sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, who from the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 103comeH7131 nearH7131 to the LordH3068 to ministerH8334 to Him.” 47He measuredH4058 the courtH2691, a perfect squareH7251, a 104hundredH3967 cubitsH520 longH753 and a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 wideH7341; and the altarH4196 was in frontH6440 of the 105templeH1004.
