Ezekiel 40 — Scripture text (King James Version)
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 smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of , and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city the south. And he brought me thither, 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. And the man said unto me, , behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of . And behold a wall the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six long by the and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad. And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five ; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed. He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight ; and the posts thereof, two ; and the porch of the gate was inward. And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three this side, and three that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure this side and that side. And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten ; and the length of the gate, thirteen . The space also before the little chambers was one this side, and the space was one that side: and the little chambers were six this side, and six that side. He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty , door against door. He made also posts of threescore , even unto the post of the court round about the gate. And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty . And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were trees. Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement. Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred eastward and northward. And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. And the little chambers thereof were three this side and three that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty , and the breadth five and twenty . And their windows, and their arches, and their trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them. And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred . After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures. And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty , and the breadth five and twenty . And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had trees, one this side, and another that side, upon the posts thereof. And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred . And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures; And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty long, and five and twenty broad. And the arches round about were five and twenty long, and five broad. And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps. And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures. And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty long, and five and twenty broad. And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and trees were upon the posts thereof, this side, and that side: and the going up to it had eight steps. And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures; The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty , and the breadth five and twenty . And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and trees were upon the posts thereof, this side, and that side: and the going up to it had eight steps. And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the . And in the porch of the gate were two tables this side, and two tables that side, to slay thereon the and the and the trespass offering. And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables. Four tables were this side, and four tables that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices. And the four tables were of hewn stone for the , of a and an half long, and a and an half broad, and one high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the and the sacrifice. And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering. And without the inner gate were the chambers of 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. And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of among the sons of , which come near to the LORD to minister unto him. So he measured the court, an hundred long, and an hundred broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house. And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five this side, and five that side: and the breadth of the gate was three this side, and three that side. The length of the porch was twenty , and the breadth eleven ; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one this side, and another that side.
