¹ Así dijo el Señor DIOS: La puerta del atrio de adentro que mira al oriente, estará cerrada los seis días de trabajo, y el día del sábado se abrirá: y asimismo se abrirá; el día de la nueva luna.

² Y el príncipe entrará de afuera por el camino del portal de la puerta, y estará al umbral de la puerta, (mientras los sacerdotes harán su holocausto y sus pacíficos) y adorará a la entrada de la puerta; después saldrá; mas no se cerrará la puerta hasta la tarde.

³ Asimismo adorará el pueblo de la tierra delante del SEÑOR, a la entrada de la puerta, en los sábados y en las nuevas lunas.

⁴ Y el holocausto que el príncipe ofrecerá al SEÑOR el día del sábado, será seis corderos sin defecto, y un carnero sin tacha;

⁵ y por presente un efa de flor de harina con cada carnero; y con cada cordero un presente, don de su mano, y un hin de aceite con el efa.

⁶ Mas el día de la nueva luna, un becerro, hijo de vaca, sin tacha, y seis corderos, y un carnero; deberán ser sin defecto.

⁷ Y hará presente de un efa de flor de harina con el becerro, y otro efa con cada carnero; mas con los corderos, conforme a su facultad; y un hin de aceite con cada efa.

⁸ Y cuando el príncipe entrare, entrará por el camino del portal de la puerta; y por el mismo camino saldrá.

⁹ Mas cuando el pueblo de la tierra entrare delante del SEÑOR en las fiestas, el que entrare por la puerta del norte, saldrá por la puerta del mediodía; y el que entrare por la puerta del mediodía, saldrá por la puerta del norte; no volverá por la puerta por donde entró, sino que saldrá por la de enfrente de ella.

¹⁰ Y el príncipe, cuando ellos entraren, él entrará en medio de ellos; y cuando ellos hubieren salido, él saldrá.

¹¹ Y en las fiestas y en las solemnidades será el presente un efa de flor de harina con cada becerro, y otro efa con cada carnero; y con los corderos, don de su mano; y un hin de aceite con cada efa.

¹² Mas cuando el príncipe libremente hiciere holocausto o pacíficos al SEÑOR, le abrirán la puerta que mira al oriente, y hará su holocausto y sus pacíficos, como hace en el día del sábado; después saldrá; y cerrarán la puerta después que saliere.

¹³ Y sacrificarás al SEÑOR cada día en holocausto un cordero de un año sin defecto, cada mañana lo sacrificarás.

¹⁴ Y con él harás todas las mañanas presente de la sexta parte de un efa de flor de harina , y la tercera parte de un hin de aceite para mezclar con la flor de harina; esto será presente para el SEÑOR continuamente por estatuto perpetuo.

¹⁵ Ofrecerán, pues, el cordero, y el presente y el aceite, todas las mañanas en holocausto continuo.

¹⁶ Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Si el príncipe diere algún don de su heredad a alguno de sus hijos, será de ellos; posesión de ellos será por herencia.

¹⁷ Mas si de su heredad diere don a alguno de sus siervos, será de él hasta el año de libertad, y volverá al príncipe; mas su herencia será de sus hijos.

¹⁸ Y el príncipe no tomará nada de la herencia del pueblo, por no defraudarlos de su posesión; de lo que él posee dará herencia a sus hijos; para que mi pueblo no sea echado cada uno de su posesión.

¹⁹ Me metió después por la entrada que estaba hacia la puerta, a las cámaras santas de los sacerdotes, las cuales miraban al norte, y había allí un lugar a los lados del occidente.

²⁰ Y me dijo: Este es el lugar donde los sacerdotes cocerán el sacrificio por el pecado y por la expiación; allí cocerán el presente, por no sacarlo al atrio de afuera para santificar al pueblo.

²¹ Luego me sacó al atrio de afuera, y me llevó por los cuatro rincones del atrio; y en cada rincón había un patio.

²² En los cuatro rincones del atrio había patios juntos de cuarenta codos de longitud, y treinta de anchura; tenían una misma medida todos cuatro a los rincones.

²³ Y había una pared alrededor de ellos, alrededor de todos cuatro, y chimeneas hechas abajo alrededor de las paredes.

²⁴ Y me dijo: Estos son los aposentos de los cocineros, donde los servidores de la casa cocerán el sacrificio del pueblo.

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.
