¹ Και με εφερεν εις την πυλην, την πυλην την βλεπουσαν κατα ανατολας.

² Και ιδου, η δοξα του Θεου του Ισραηλ ηρχετο απο της οδου της ανατολης· και η φωνη αυτου ως φωνη υδατων πολλων· και η γη ελαμπεν απο της δοξης αυτου.

³ Και η θεα την οποιαν ειδον ητο κατα την θεαν, κατα την θεαν την οποιαν ειδον, οτε ηλθον να χαλασω την πολιν· και αι θεαι ησαν κατα την θεαν, την οποιαν ειδον παρα τον ποταμον Χεβαρ· και επεσον επι προσωπον μου.

⁴ Και η δοξα του Κυριου εισηλθεν εις τον οικον δια της οδου της πυλης της βλεπουσης κατα ανατολας.

⁵ Και με εσηκωσε το πνευμα και με εφερεν εις την αυλην την εσωτεραν· και ιδου, ο οικος ητο πληρης της δοξης του Κυριου.

⁶ Και ηκουσα φωνην λαλουντος προς εμε εκ του οικου· και ο ανθρωπος ιστατο πλησιον μου.

⁷ Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, τον τοπον του θρονου μου και τον τοπον του ιχνους των ποδων μου, οπου θελω κατοικει εν μεσω των υιων Ισραηλ εις τον αιωνα, και το ονομα μου το αγιον, δεν θελει πλεον βεβηλωσει ο οικος Ισραηλ, ουτε αυτοι ουτε οι βασιλεις αυτων, με τας πορνειας αυτων ουδε με τα πτωματα των βασιλεων αυτων ουδε με τους υψηλους αυτων τοπους.

⁸ Θετοντες τα κατωφλια αυτων πλησιον των κατωφλιων μου και τους παραστατας αυτων πλησιον των παραστατων μου, ωστε δεν ητο παρα ο τοιχος μεταξυ εμου και αυτων, εβεβηλουν ουτω το ονομα μου το αγιον με τα βδελυγματα αυτων, τα οποια επραττον· δια τουτο ηναλωσα αυτους εν τω θυμω μου.

⁹ Τωρα ας απομακρυνωσιν απ' εμου τας πορνειας αυτων και τα πτωματα των βασιλεων αυτων, και θελω κατοικει εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

¹⁰ Συ, υιε ανθρωπου, δειξον τον οικον τουτον εις τον οικον Ισραηλ, δια να εντραπωσι δια τας ανομιας αυτων· και ας μετρησωσι το σχεδιον.

¹¹ Και εαν εντραπωσι δια παντα οσα επραξαν, δειξον εις αυτους την μορφην του οικου και την διαταξιν αυτου και τας εξοδους αυτου και τας εισοδους αυτου και πασαν την μορφην αυτου και πασας τας διαταξεις αυτου και πασαν την μορφην αυτου και παντα τον νομον αυτου, και διαγραψον αυτον ενωπιον αυτων, δια να φυλαξωσιν ολην την μορφην αυτου και πασας τας διαταξεις αυτου και να εκτελωσιν αυτας.

¹² Ουτος ειναι ο νομος του οικου· επι της κορυφης του ορους, ολον το οριον αυτου κυκλω κυκλω θελει εισθαι αγιωτατον. Ιδου, ουτος ειναι ο νομος του οικου.

¹³ Και ταυτα ειναι τα μετρα του θυσιαστηριου εις πηχας· η πηχη ειναι μια πηχη κοινη και παλαμη· το μεν κοιλωμα αυτου θελει εισθαι μια πηχη και το πλατος μια πηχη, το δε γεισωμα αυτου εις τα χειλη αυτου κυκλω μια σπιθαμη· και τουτο θελει εισθαι το ανωτερον μερος του θυσιαστηριου.

¹⁴ Απο δε του κοιλωματος του προς την γην εως της κατωτερας οφρυος θελει εισθαι δυο πηχαι και το πλατος μια πηχη· και απο της οφρυος της μικροτερας εως της οφρυος της μεγαλητερας, τεσσαρες πηχαι, και το πλατος μια πηχη.

¹⁵ Και το θυσιαστηριον θελει εισθαι τεσσαρων πηχων το υψος· απο δε του θυσιαστηριου και επανω θελουσιν εισθαι τεσσαρα κερατα.

¹⁶ Και το θυσιαστηριον θελει εισθαι δωδεκα πηχων το μηκος και δωδεκα το πλατος, τετραγωνον εις τας τεσσαρας πλευρας αυτου.

¹⁷ Και η οφρυς θελει εισθαι δεκατεσσαρων πηχων το μηκος και δεκατεσσαρων το πλατος εις τας τεσσαρας πλευρας αυτης· και το γεισωμα κυκλω αυτης μιση πηχη· και το κοιλωμα αυτης κυκλω μια πηχη· και αι βαθμιδες αυτης θελουσι βλεπει προς ανατολας.

¹⁸ Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Αυται ειναι αι διαταξεις του θυσιαστηριου καθ' ην ημεραν κατασκευασωσιν αυτο, δια να προσφερωσιν επ' αυτου ολοκαυτωμα και να ραντιζωσιν επ' αυτο αιμα.

¹⁹ Και θελεις δωσει εις τους ιερεις τους Λευιτας, τους οντας εκ του σπερματος Σαδωκ, τους πλησιαζοντας με δια να λειτουργωσιν εις εμε, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, μοσχον βοος δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

²⁰ Και θελεις λαβει απο του αιματος αυτου και βαλει επι τα τεσσαρα κερατα αυτου και επι τας τεσσαρας γωνιας της οφρυος και επι το γεισωμα κυκλω· και θελεις καθαρισει αυτο και καμει εξιλεωσιν περι αυτου.

²¹ Και θελεις λαβει τον μοσχον τον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας, και θελουσι καυσει αυτον εν τω διωρισμενω τοπω του οικου εξω του αγιαστηριου.

²² Και την δευτεραν ημεραν θελεις προσφερει τραγον εξ αιγων αμωμον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας· και θελουσι καθαρισει το θυσιαστηριον, ως εκαθαρισαν δια του μοσχου.

²³ Αφου τελειωσης καθαριζων αυτο, θελεις προσφερει μοσχον βοος αμωμον και κριον εκ του ποιμνιου αμωμον.

²⁴ Και θελεις προσφερει αυτα ενωπιον του Κυριου, και οι ιερεις θελουσι ριψει ολας επ' αυτα και θελουσιν ολοκαυτωσει αυτα ολοκαυτωμα εις τον Κυριον.

²⁵ Επτα ημερας θελεις ετοιμαζει καθ' εκαστην τραγον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας· και θελουσιν ετοιμαζει μοσχον βοος και κριον εκ του ποιμνιου, αμωμους.

²⁶ Επτα ημερας θελουσι καμνει εξιλεωσιν περι του θυσιαστηριου και καθαριζει αυτο· και αυτοι θελουσι καθιερωθη.

²⁷ Και αφου συμπληρωθωσιν αι ημεραι, απο της ογδοης ημερας και εφεξης θελουσι προσφερει οι ιερεις τα ολοκαυτωματα σας επι του θυσιαστηριου και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας σας· και εγω θελω σας δεχθη, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

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.
