¹ Dvadeset pete godine robovanja našeg, u početku godine, deseti dan meseca, četrnaeste godine od kako se uze grad, isti dan dođe nada me ruka Gospodnja i odvede me onamo.

² Utvarama Božjim odvede me u zemlju Izrailjevu, i postavi me na goru vrlo visoku, na kojoj beše s juga kao sagrađen grad.

³ I odvede me onamo, i gle, čovek, koji na oči beše kao od bronze, s užem lanenim u ruci i s trskom meračkom, i stajaše na vratima.

⁴ I progovori mi taj čovek: Sine čovečji, gledaj očima svojim i slušaj ušima svojim, i uzmi na um sve što ću ti pokazati, jer si doveden ovamo da ti pokažem; kaži domu Izrailjevom sve što vidiš.

⁵ I gle, beše zid spolja oko doma, a u ruci onom čoveku trska meračka od šest lakata, a lakat beše s podlanice duži od običnog; i izmeri građevinu u širinu, i beše jedna trska, i u visinu, i beše jedna trska.

⁶ Pa dođe na vrata koja behu prema istoku, i iziđe uz basamake, i izmeri jedan prag vratima, i beše u širinu jedna trska, i drugi prag, i beše u širinu jedna trska;

⁷ I kleti, i svaka beše jednu trsku duga i jednu trsku široka; a između kleti beše pet lakata; i prag na vratima kod trema na unutrašnjim vratima, i beše s jedne trske.

⁸ I izmeri trem na vratima unutrašnjim, i beše jedna trska.

⁹ I izmeri trem na vratima, i beše osam lakata; i dovratnike im, i behu dva lakta; a trem na vratima beše iznutra;

¹⁰ I kleti kod vrata prema istoku behu tri amo i tri tamo, jedne mere sve tri, i jedne mere behu dovratnici tamo i amo.

¹¹ I izmeri širinu vratima, i beše deset lakata, i trinaest lakata beše u dužinu vratima.

¹² I pred kletima beše mesta jedan lakat, i za jedan lakat beše mesta s druge strane, i u svakoj kleti beše šest lakata od tuda i šest lakata od ovuda.

¹³ Posle izmeri vrata od krova jedne kleti do krova druge, i beše u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata, vrata prema vratima.

¹⁴ I načini dovratnike od šezdeset lakata, i pred dovratnicima trem na vratima unaokolo.

¹⁵ I od lica vrata na koja se ulazi do lica trema na unutrašnjim vratima beše pedeset lakata.

¹⁶ I behu prozori na kletima i na dovratnicima njihovim suženi unutra oko vrata, tako i na tremovima, prozori behu iznutra svuda unaokolo, i po dovratnicima palme.

¹⁷ Potom me uvede u spoljašnji trem, i gle, behu kleti i pod načinjen svuda unaokolo u tremu, trideset kleti na podu.

¹⁸ A taj pod pokraj vrata prema dužini vrata beše niži pod.

¹⁹ Potom izmeri širinu od lica donjih vrata do lica unutrašnjeg trema spolja, i beše sto lakata k istoku i severu.

²⁰ I vrata koja behu k severu na tremu spoljašnjem izmeri u dužinu i u širinu;

²¹ I behu tri kleti tamo i tri amo, i dovratnici im i tremovi behu iste mere kao u prvih vrata; pedeset lakata beše u dužinu a u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata;

²² I prozori im i tremovi i palme behu na meru kao na vratima koja gledaju na istok, i iđaše se k njima uza sedam basamaka, i tremovi behu pred njima.

²³ I vrata od unutrašnjeg trema behu prema vratima severnim i istočnim, i izmeri od vrata do vrata, i beše sto lakata.

²⁴ Posle me odvede k jugu, i gle, behu vrata prema jugu; i izmeri im dovratnike i tremove, i beše ista mera.

²⁵ I behu prozori na njima i na tremovima njihovim unaokolo kao oni prozori; pedeset lakata beše u dužinu i dvadeset i pet lakata u širinu.

²⁶ I iđaše se k njima uza sedam basamaka, i tremovi behu pred njima, i palme jedna od tuda, a jedna od ovuda po dovratnicima.

²⁷ I vrata od unutrašnjeg trema behu prema jugu; i izmeri od vrata do vrata k jugu, i beše sto lakata.

²⁸ Tada me uvede u unutrašnji trem južnim vratima; i izmeri južna vrata, i beše ista mera.

²⁹ I kleti njihove i dovratnici i tremovi behu iste mere, i prozori na njima i na tremovima unaokolo; pedeset lakata beše u dužinu, i dvadeset i pet lakata u širinu.

³⁰ I tremovi behu unaokolo, dvadeset i pet lakata u dužinu i pet lakata u širinu.

³¹ I tremovi im behu prema spoljašnjem tremu, i palme po dovratnicima, i uz osam basamaka iđaše se k njima.

³² Potom me odvede u unutrašnji trem k istoku, i izmeri vrata, i beše ista mera;

³³ I kleti im i dovratnici i tremovi behu iste mere; i behu prozori na njima i na tremovima njihovim unaokolo; u dužinu beše pedeset lakata, a u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata;

³⁴ I tremovi im behu prema spoljašnjem tremu, i palme po dovratnicima i tamo i amo, i uz osam basamaka iđaše se k njima.

³⁵ Potom odvede me na severna vrata i izmeri ih, i behu iste mere.

³⁶ Tako i kleti im i dovratnici i tremovi i prozori unaokolo; u dužinu pedeset lakata, a u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata.

³⁷ I dovratnici im behu prema spoljašnjem tremu, i palme po dovratnicima i tamo i amo, i uz osam basamaka iđaše se k njima.

³⁸ I kleti s vratima behu kod dovratnika tih vrata, onde se prahu žrtve paljenice.

³⁹ A u tremu od vrata behu dva stola s jedne strane i dva stola s druge strane da se na njima kolju žrtve paljenice i žrtve za greh i za krivicu;

⁴⁰ I na strani spolja kako se ulazi na severna vrata behu dva stola, i na drugoj strani u tremu od istih vrata behu dva stola;

⁴¹ Četiri stola behu s jedne strane i Četiri s druge strane uz vrata, osam stolova, na kojima se koljaše.

⁴² A četiri stola za žrtvu paljenicu behu od tesanog kamena, u dužinu podrug lakta, i podrug lakta u širinu a u visinu jedan lakat, i na njima se ostavljaše oruđe kojima se koljahu žrtve paljenice i druge žrtve.

⁴³ I unutra behu kuke s podlanice svuda u naokolo, a na stolove se metaše meso od žrtava.

⁴⁴ I spolja pred vratima unutrašnjim behu kleti za pevače u unutrašnjem tremu; jedne behu uz vrata severna i gledahu prema jugu, a druge behu uz istočna vrata i gledahu prema severu.

⁴⁵ Tada mi reče: Ove kleti što gledaju na jug jesu za sveštenike koji služe oko doma;

⁴⁶ A one kleti što gledaju na sever jesu za sveštenike koji služe kod oltara; to su sinovi Sadokovi, koji između sinova Levijevih pristupaju ka Gospodu da Mu služe.

⁴⁷ Potom izmeri trem, i beše u dužinu sto lakata i u širinu sto lakata, četvrtast; i oltar beše pred domom.

⁴⁸ Posle me odvede u trem od doma, i izmeri dovratnike tremu, i beše pet lakata otud i pet lakata odovud; a vrata behu široka tri lakta otud i tri lakta odovud;

⁴⁹ Dužina tremu beše dvadeset lakata, a širina jedanaest lakata, i uz basamake se iđaše k njemu, i stupovi behu uz dovratnike, jedan otud i jedan odovud.

¹ 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 year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there.

² In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

³ He brought me there; 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.

⁴ The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.

⁵ Behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

⁶ Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.

⁷ Every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

⁸ He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

⁹ Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

¹⁰ The lodges of the gate eastward 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.

¹¹ He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

¹² and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

¹³ He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door against door.

¹⁴ He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the court [reached] to the posts, around the gate.

¹⁵ [From] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

¹⁶ There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches; and windows were around inward; and on [each] post were palm trees.

¹⁷ Then brought he me into the outer court; and behold, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms were on the pavement.

¹⁸ The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

¹⁹ Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

²⁰ The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

²¹ The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

²² The windows of it, and its arches, and the palm trees of it, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.

²³ There was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.

²⁴ He led me toward the south; and behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.

²⁵ There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

²⁶ There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.

²⁷ There was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

²⁸ Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

²⁹ and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

³⁰ There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

³¹ The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³² He brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;

³³ and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

³⁴ The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³⁵ He brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;

³⁶ its lodges, its posts, and its arches: and there were windows therein all around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

³⁷ The posts of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³⁸ A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.

³⁹ In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

⁴⁰ On the [one] side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

⁴¹ Four tables were on this side, and Four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they killed [the sacrifices].

⁴² There were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

⁴³ The hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

⁴⁴ Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

⁴⁵ He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;

⁴⁶ and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.

⁴⁷ He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

⁴⁸ Then 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.

⁴⁹ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
