¹ 以法蓮吃風，且追趕東風，時常增添虛謊和強暴，與亞述立約，把油送到埃及。

² 耶和華與猶大爭辯，必照雅各所行的懲罰他，按他所做的報應他。

³ 他在腹中抓住哥哥的腳跟，壯年的時候與神較力，

⁴ 與天使較力，並且得勝，哭泣懇求，在伯特利遇見耶和華。耶和華─萬軍之神在那裡曉諭我們以色列人；耶和華是他可記念的名。

⁵ a

⁶ 所以你當歸向你的神，謹守仁愛、公平，常常等候你的神。

⁷ 以法蓮是商人，手裡有詭詐的天平，愛行欺騙。

⁸ 以法蓮說：我果然成了富足，得了財寶；我所勞碌得來的，人必不見有甚麼不義，可算為罪的。

⁹ 自從你出埃及地以來，我就是耶和華─你的神；我必使你再住帳棚，如在大會的日子一樣。

¹⁰ 我已曉諭眾先知，並且加增默示，藉先知設立比喻。

¹¹ 基列人沒有罪孽麼？他們全然是虛假的。人在吉甲獻牛犢為祭，他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的亂堆。

¹² 從前雅各逃到亞蘭地，以色列為得妻服事人，為得妻與人放羊。

¹³ 耶和華藉先知領以色列從埃及上來；以色列也藉先知而得保存。

¹⁴ 以法蓮大大惹動主怒，所以他流血的罪必歸在他身上。主必將那因以法蓮所受的羞辱歸還他。

⁶ 耶和華說：你們且聽我的話：你們中間若有先知，我─耶和華必在異象中向他顯現，在夢中與他說話。

¹ Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the room that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.

² Before the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

³ Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and Over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.

⁴ Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

⁵ Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.

⁶ For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.

⁷ The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.

⁸ For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and behold, before the temple were one hundred cubits.

⁹ From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

¹⁰ In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.

¹¹ The way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the rooms which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

¹² According to the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.

¹³ Then he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, they are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.

¹⁴ When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people.

¹⁵ Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it all around.

¹⁶ He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.

¹⁷ He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.

¹⁸ He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

¹⁹ He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

²⁰ He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall around it, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
