¹ In the twentieth and fifth year of^◦ our exile, in the beginning^◦ of the year, in the tenth of^◦ the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in this same day the hand of Jehovah was on me, and brought me thither.

² In the visions^◦ of God He brought me to^▵ the land of Israel, and caused me to rest in^▵ a very tall mountain, and upon it was as it were a building of a city on the south.

³ And He brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man^◦, whose appearance was like^◦ the appearance of bronze, and a strand of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he^◦ stood in the gate.

⁴ And the man^◦ spoke to^▵ me: Son of man, see with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart to all that I^◦ shall cause thee to see; for in·​·order·​·that I might cause thee to see, thou art brought hither; tell all that thou^◦ seest to the house of Israel.

⁵ And behold, a wall on the outside of the house around and around, and in the hand of the man^◦ a measuring reed of six cubits, by the cubit and hand·​·breadth; and he measured the breadth of the building, one reed, and the height^◦, one reed.

⁶ And he came to^▵ the gate which faced the way of the east, and went·​·up its stairs, and measured the doorway of the gate, one reed in breadth; and one doorway was one reed in breadth.

⁷ And the little·​·chamber was one reed in length, and one reed in breadth; and between the little·​·chambers were five cubits; and the doorway of the gate from beside the porch of the gate inside was one reed.

⁸ And he measured the porch of the gate inside, one reed.

⁹ Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its columns, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inside.

¹⁰ And the little·​·chambers of the gate on the way of the east were three from here, and three from here; one measure for the three, and one measure for the columns from here and from here.^*

¹¹ And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

¹² And the border before the little·​·chambers was one cubit, and the border was one cubit from here; and the little·​·chambers were six cubits from here, and six cubits from here.

¹³ And he measured the gate from the roof of one little·​·chamber to the roof of another; the breadth was five and twenty cubits, entrance in·​·front·​·of entrance.

¹⁴ And he made columns of sixty cubits, even^▵ to^▵ the column of the court of the gate around and around.

¹⁵ And from the face of the gate of the entrance^◦ unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.

¹⁶ And there were shutting^◦ windows to^▵ the little·​·chambers, and to^▵ their columns interior to the gate around and around, and thus^◦ for the arches; and windows were around and around for the interior; and to^▵ each column were palm·​·trees.

¹⁷ And he brought me to^▵ the outer court, and, behold, there were rooms, and a pavement made for the court around and around; thirty rooms were toward^▵ the pavement.

¹⁸ And the pavement at^▵ the shoulder^◦ of the gates alongside the length of the gates was the lower pavement.

¹⁹ Then he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate unto the face of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits east and north.

²⁰ And the gate of the outer court that faced the way of the north, he measured its length, and its breadth.

²¹ And its little·​·chambers were three from here and three from here; and its columns and its arches were according·​·to the measure of the first gate; its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty in cubits.

²² And its windows, and its arches, and its palm·​·trees, were according·​·to the measure of the gate that faced the way of the east; and by seven stairs they went·​·up into it; and its arches were before them.

²³ And the gate of the inner court was in·​·front·​·of the gate toward^◦ the north, and toward^◦ the east; and he measured from gate to^▵ gate a hundred cubits.

²⁴ And he caused me to go the way of the south^▵, and behold there was a gate on the way of the south^▵; and he measured its columns and its arches according·​·to these measures.

²⁵ And there were windows for it and for its arches around and around, like^◦ those windows; fifty cubits was the length, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

²⁶ And there were seven stairs going·​·up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had^◦ palm·​·trees, one from here, and one from here, to^▵ its columns.

²⁷ And there was a gate for the inner court on the way of the south^▵; and he measured from gate to^▵ gate on the way of the south^▵ a hundred cubits.

²⁸ And he brought me to^▵ the inner court by the south^▵ gate; and he measured the south^▵ gate according·​·to these measures,

²⁹ and its little·​·chambers, and its columns and its arches, according·​·to these measures; and there were windows for it and for its arches around and around; fifty cubits was the length, and the breadth twenty and five cubits.

³⁰ And the arches were around and around, the length five and twenty cubits, and the breadth five cubits.

³¹ And its arches were toward^▵ the outer court; and palm·​·trees were at^▵ its columns; and its going·​·up had eight stairs.

³² And he brought me into^▵ the inner court, the way of the east; and he measured the gate according·​·to these measures.

³³ And its little·​·chambers, and its columns, and its arches, were according·​·to these measures; and there were windows for it and for its arches around and around: the length was fifty cubits, the breadth five and twenty cubits.

³⁴ And its arches were to the outer court; and palm·​·trees were toward^▵ its columns, from here and from here; and its going·​·up had eight stairs.

³⁵ And he brought me to^▵ the north gate, and measured it according·​·to these measures;

³⁶ its little·​·chambers, its columns, and its arches, and the windows for it around and around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

³⁷ And its columns were to the outer court; and palm·​·trees were toward^▵ its columns, from here and from here; and its going·​·up had eight stairs.

³⁸ And the room and its entrances were by the columns of the gates, where they purged^◦ the burnt·​·offering.

³⁹ And in the porch of the gate were two tables from here, and two tables from here, to slaughter on them the burnt·​·offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering.

⁴⁰ And to^▵ the wing^◦ from outside going·​·up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other wing^◦, which was to^▵ the porch of the gate, were two tables.

⁴¹ four tables were from here, and four tables from here, by the wing^◦ of the gate; eight tables, on which they slaughtered their sacrifices.

⁴² And the four tables were of hewn^◦ stone for the burnt·​·offering, the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one cubit and a half, and one cubit tall; and they placed on^◦ it the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt·​·offering and the sacrifice.

⁴³ And what·​·was·​·set·​·on was of one hand·​·breadth prepared inside around and around; and at^▵ the tables was the flesh of the offering.

⁴⁴ And outside the inner gate were the rooms of the singers in the inner court, which was at^▵ the wing^◦ of the north gate; and their face was the way of the south^▵; one at^▵ the wing^◦ of the east gate facing the way of the north.

⁴⁵ And he spoke unto^▵ me, This room, which is facing is the way of the south^▵, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

⁴⁶ And the room whose face is the way of 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, who draw·​·near to^▵ Jehovah to minister to Him.

⁴⁷ And he measured the court, the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, foursquare, and the altar that was before the house.

⁴⁸ And he brought me to^▵ the porch of the house, and measured each column of the porch, five cubits from here, and five cubits from here; and the breadth of the gate was three cubits from here, and three cubits from here.

⁴⁹ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the stairs by which they went·​·up to^▵ it; and there were pillars by the columns, one from here, and one from here.
