¹ 他又帶我回到聖地朝東的外門；那門關閉了。

² 耶和華對我說：這門必須關閉，不可敞開，誰也不可由其中進入；因為耶和華─以色列的神已經由其中進入，所以必須關閉。

³ 至於王，他必按王的位分，坐在其內，在耶和華面前吃餅。他必由這門的廊而入，也必由此而出。

⁴ 他又帶我由北門來到殿前。我觀看，見耶和華的榮光充滿耶和華的殿，我就俯伏在地。

⁵ 耶和華對我說：人子啊，我對你所說耶和華殿中的一切典章法則，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳聽，並要留心殿宇和聖地一切出入之處。

⁶ 你要對那悖逆的以色列家說，主耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，你們行一切可憎的事，當夠了罷！

⁷ 你們把我的食物，就是脂油和血獻上的時候，將身心未受割禮的外邦人領進我的聖地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的約，在你們一切可憎的事上，加上這一層。

⁸ 你們也沒有看守我的聖物，卻派別人在聖地替你們看守我所吩咐你們的。

⁹ 主耶和華如此說：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割禮的，都不可入我的聖地。

¹⁰ 當以色列人走迷的時候，有利未人遠離我，就是走迷離開我、隨從他們的偶像，他們必擔當自己的罪孽。

¹¹ 然而他們必在我的聖地當僕役，照管殿門，在殿中供職；必為民宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他們。

¹² 因為這些利未人曾在偶像前伺候這民，成了以色列家罪孽的絆腳石，所以我向他們起誓：他們必擔當自己的罪孽。這是主耶和華說的。

¹³ 他們不可親近我，給我供祭司的職分，也不可挨近我的一件聖物，就是至聖的物；他們卻要擔當自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的報應。

¹⁴ 然而我要使他們看守殿宇，辦理其中的一切事，並做其內一切當做之工。

¹⁵ 以色列人走迷離開我的時候，祭司利未人撒督的子孫仍看守我的聖所。他們必親近我，事奉我，並且侍立在我面前，將脂油與血獻給我。這是主耶和華說的。

¹⁶ 他們必進入我的聖所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。

¹⁷ 他們進內院門必穿細麻衣。在內院門和殿內供職的時候不可穿羊毛衣服。

¹⁸ 他們頭上要戴細麻布裹頭巾，腰穿細麻布褲子；不可穿使身體出汗的衣服。

¹⁹ 他們出到外院的民那裡，當脫下供職的衣服，放在聖屋內，穿上別的衣服，免得因聖衣使民成聖。

²⁰ 不可剃頭，也不可容髮綹長長，只可剪髮。

²¹ 祭司進內院的時候都不可喝酒。

²² 不可娶寡婦和被休的婦人為妻，只可娶以色列後裔中的處女，或是祭司遺留的寡婦。

²³ 他們要使我的民知道聖俗的分別，又使他們分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的。

²⁴ 有爭訟的事，他們應當站立判斷，要按我的典章判斷。在我一切的節期必守我的律法、條例，也必以我的安息日為聖日。

²⁵ 他們不可挨近死屍沾染自己，只可為父親、母親、兒子、女兒、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。

²⁶ 祭司潔淨之後，必再計算七日。

²⁷ 當他進內院，進聖所，在聖所中事奉的日子，要為自己獻贖罪祭。這是主耶和華說的。

²⁸ 祭司必有產業，我是他們的產業。不可在以色列中給他們基業；我是他們的基業。

²⁹ 素祭、贖罪祭，和贖愆祭他們都可以吃，以色列中一切永獻的物都要歸他們。

³⁰ 首先初熟之物和一切所獻的供物都要歸給祭司。你們也要用初熟的麥子磨麵給祭司；這樣，福氣就必臨到你們的家了。

³¹ 無論是鳥是獸，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。

¹ Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.

² And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

³ Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

⁴ So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

⁵ After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

⁶ And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

⁷ And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

⁸ I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

⁹ The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.

¹⁰ And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

¹¹ And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.

¹² Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

¹³ So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

¹⁴ Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

¹⁵ And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

¹⁶ The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

¹⁷ To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

¹⁸ And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

¹⁹ So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.

²⁰ From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

²¹ The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.

²² The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.

²³ And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

²⁴ And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

²⁵ And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

²⁶ And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
