CHAPTER 40
Ezekiel 40:1
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 smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me,
and brought me thither.
Ezekiel 40:2
2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon
a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
Ezekiel 40:3
3 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. Ezekiel 40:4
4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, 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 Israel. Ezekiel 40:5
5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's
hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so
he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one
reed.
Ezekiel 40:6
6 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.
Ezekiel 40:7
7 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between
the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the
porch of the gate within was one reed. Ezekiel 40:8
8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. Ezekiel 40:9
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof,
two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. Ezekiel 40:10
10 And the little chambers 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. Ezekiel 40:11
11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the
length of the gate, thirteen cubits. Ezekiel 40:12
12 The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and
the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits
on this side, and six cubits on that side. Ezekiel 40:13
13 He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof
of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door. Ezekiel
40:14
14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court
round about the gate.
Ezekiel 40:15
15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of
the inner gate were fifty cubits. Ezekiel 40:16
16 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 palm trees. Ezekiel 40:17
17 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.
Ezekiel 40:18
18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the
gates was the lower pavement.
Ezekiel 40:19
19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the
forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
Ezekiel 40:20
20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured
the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. Ezekiel 40:21
21 And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that
side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of
the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and
twenty cubits.
Ezekiel 40:22
22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm 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. Ezekiel 40:23
23 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 cubits.
Ezekiel 40:24
24 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.
Ezekiel 40:25
25 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like
those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty
cubits.
Ezekiel 40:26
26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were
before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that
side, upon the posts thereof.
Ezekiel 40:27
27 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured
from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. Ezekiel 40:28
28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the
south gate according to these measures; Ezekiel 40:29
29 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 cubits long, and five and twenty
cubits broad.
Ezekiel 40:30
30 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five
cubits broad.
Ezekiel 40:31
31 And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were
upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps. Ezekiel 40:32
32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the
gate according to these measures. Ezekiel 40:33
33 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 cubits long, and five and
twenty cubits broad.
Ezekiel 40:34
34 And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were
upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
Ezekiel 40:35
35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these
measures;
Ezekiel 40:36
36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and
the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth
five and twenty cubits.
Ezekiel 40:37
37 And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon
the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had
eight steps.
Ezekiel 40:38
38 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates,
where they washed the burnt offering. Ezekiel 40:39
39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables
on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the
trespass offering.
Ezekiel 40:40
40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate,
were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate,
were two tables.
Ezekiel 40:41
41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of
the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices. Ezekiel 40:42
42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit
and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high:
whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt
offering and the sacrifice.
Ezekiel 40:43
43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the
tables was the flesh of the offering. Ezekiel 40:44
44 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.
Ezekiel 40:45
45 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. Ezekiel 40:46
46 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 Zadok among the sons
of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him. Ezekiel 40:47
47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits
broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house. Ezekiel 40:48
48 And 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.
Ezekiel 40:49
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits;
and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were
pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side. CHAPTER 41
Ezekiel 41:1
1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits
broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the
breadth of the tabernacle.
Ezekiel 41:2
2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were
five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he
measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
Ezekiel 41:3
3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the
door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. Ezekiel 41:4
4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty
cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
Ezekiel 41:5
5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of
every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. Ezekiel
41:6
6 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and
they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round
about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the
house.
Ezekiel 41:7
7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side
chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the
house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased
from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. Ezekiel 41:8
8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side
chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. Ezekiel 41:9
9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five
cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were
within.
Ezekiel 41:10
10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the
house on every side.
Ezekiel 41:11
11 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one
door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of
the place that was left was five cubits round about. Ezekiel 41:12
12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the
west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. Ezekiel 41:13
13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place,
and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; Ezekiel 41:14
14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward
the east, an hundred cubits. Ezekiel 41:15
15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place
which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the
other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the
court;
Ezekiel 41:16
16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on
their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and
from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered; Ezekiel
41:17
17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all
the wall round about within and without, by measure. Ezekiel 41:18
18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was
between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; Ezekiel 41:19
19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the
face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made
through all the house round about.
Ezekiel 41:20
20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and
on the wall of the temple.
Ezekiel 41:21
21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the
appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. Ezekiel 41:22
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits;
and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were
of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.
Ezekiel 41:23
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. Ezekiel 41:24
24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the
one door, and two leaves for the other door. Ezekiel 41:25
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm
trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the
face of the porch without. Ezekiel 41:26
26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the
other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the
house, and thick planks.
CHAPTER 42
Ezekiel 42:1
1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and
he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and
which was before the building toward the north. Ezekiel 42:2
2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth
was fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 42:3
3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over
against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against
gallery in three stories.
Ezekiel 42:4
4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of
one cubit; and their doors toward the north. Ezekiel 42:5
5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than
these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. Ezekiel 42:6
6 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the
courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the
middlemost from the ground.
Ezekiel 42:7
7 And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter
court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 42:8
8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty
cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits. Ezekiel 42:9
9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth
into them from the utter court.
Ezekiel 42:10
10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the
east, over against the separate place, and over against the building. Ezekiel
42:11
11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were
toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings
out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
Ezekiel 42:12
12 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a
door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the
east, as one entereth into them. Ezekiel 42:13
13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are
before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that
approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they
lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and
the trespass offering; for the place is holy. Ezekiel 42:14
14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy
place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein
they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall
approach to those things which are for the people. Ezekiel 42:15
15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me
forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round
about.
Ezekiel 42:16
16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with
the measuring reed round about. Ezekiel 42:17
17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed
round about.
Ezekiel 42:18
18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
Ezekiel 42:19
19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the
measuring reed.
Ezekiel 42:20
20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred
reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the
sanctuary and the profane place.
