Chapter 40
1.1
In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.
2.1
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.
3.1
He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed;
4.1
and he stood in the gate. 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 will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you.
5.1
Behold, there was 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 hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6.1
Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps.
6.2
He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
7.1
Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits.
7.2
The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
9.1
Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
10.1
The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side.
10.2
The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side. He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side;
12.1
and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
14.1
He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
15.1
From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

Chapter 40
1
In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.
In[H8141] the[H5921] twenty-fifth[H6242] year[H8141] of[H3068] our[H3068] captivity,[H1546] in[H8141] the[H5921] beginning[H7218] of[H3068] the[H5921] year,[H8141] in[H8141] the[H5921] tenth[H6218] day[H3117] of[H3068] the[H5921] month,[H2320] in[H8141] the[H5921] fourteenth[H6240] year[H8141] after[H5921] the[H5921] city[H5892] was[H3068] struck,[H5221] in[H8141] the[H5921] same[H6106] day,[H3117] Yahweh’s[H3068] hand[H3027] was[H3068] on[H5921] me,[H5921] and[H3068] he[H3117] brought[H1961] me[H5921] there.[H8033]
2
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.
In[H5921] the[H5921] visions[H4759] of[H5892] God[H430] he[H5921] brought[H3478] me[H5921] into[H5921] the[H5921] land[H776] of[H5892] Israel,[H3478] and[H3478] set[H5117] me[H5921] down[H5117] on[H5921] a[H3478] very[H3966] high[H1364] mountain,[H2022] on[H5921] which[H5892] was[H3478] something[H1697] like[H3478] the[H5921] frame[H4011] of[H5892] a[H3478] city[H5892] to[H3478] the[H5921] south.[H5045]
3
He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
He[H1931] brought[H3027] me[H3027] there;[H8033] and,[H3027] behold,[H2009] there[H8033] was[H1931] a[H5975] man[H8179] whose[H8179] appearance[H4758] was[H1931] like[H4758] the[H3027] appearance[H4758] of[H3027] bronze,[H5178] with[H3027] a[H5975] line[H6616] of[H3027] flax[H6593] in[H5975] his[H3027] hand[H3027] and[H3027] a[H5975] measuring[H4060] reed;[H7070] and[H3027] he[H1931] stood[H5975] in[H5975] the[H3027] gate.[H8179]
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 will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
The[H3605] man[H1121] said[H1696] to[H1696] me,[H7200] “Son[H1121] of[H1121] man,[H1121] see[H7200] with[H1004] your[H3605] eyes,[H5869] and[H1121] hear[H8085] with[H1004] your[H3605] ears,[H241] and[H1121] set[H7760] your[H3605] heart[H3820] on[H7200] all[H3605] that[H3588] I[H3588] will[H3478] show[H7200] you;[H3588] for[H3588] you[H3588] have[H5869] been[H3605] brought[H7760] here[H2008] so[H4616] that[H3588] I[H3588] may[H3478] show[H7200] them[H7760] to[H1696] you.[H3588] Declare[H5046] all[H3605] that[H3588] you[H3588] see[H7200] to[H1696] the[H3605] house[H1004] of[H1121] Israel.”[H3478]
5
Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits[1] long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Behold,[H2009] there[H2009] was[H1004] a[H4058] wall[H2346] on[H3027] the[H5439] outside[H2351] of[H1004] the[H5439] house[H1004] all[H5439] around,[H5439] and[H3027] in[H1004] the[H5439] man’s[H376] hand[H3027] a[H4058] measuring[H4060] reed[H7070] six[H8337] cubits[H520] long,[H2948] of[H1004] a[H4058] cubit[H520] and[H3027] a[H4058] hand[H3027] width[H7341] each.[H5439] So[H3027] he[H1004] measured[H4058] the[H5439] thickness[H7341] of[H1004] the[H5439] building,[H1146] one[H7341] reed;[H7070] and[H3027] the[H5439] height,[H6967] one[H7341] reed.[H7070]
6
Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
Then[H5927] he[H6440] came[H5927] to[H5927] the[H6440] gate[H8179] which[H8179] looks[H6440] toward[H1870] the[H6440] east,[H6921] and[H6440] went[H5927] up[H5927] its[H5927] steps.[H4609] He[H6440] measured[H4058] the[H6440] threshold[H5592] of[H6440] the[H6440] gate,[H8179] one[H7341] reed[H7070] wide;[H7341] and[H6440] the[H6440] other[H312] threshold,[H5592] one[H7341] reed[H7070] wide.[H7341]
7
Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
Every[H8179] lodge[H3885] was[H1004] one[H7341] reed[H7070] long[H753] and[H1004] one[H7341] reed[H7070] wide.[H7341] Between[H996] the[H1004] lodges[H3885] was[H1004] five[H2568] cubits.[H2568] The[H1004] threshold[H5592] of[H1004] the[H1004] gate[H8179] by[H8179] the[H1004] porch[H197] of[H1004] the[H1004] gate[H8179] toward[H413] the[H1004] house[H1004] was[H1004] one[H7341] reed.[H7070]
8
He[H1004] measured[H4058] also[H1571] the[H4058] porch[H197] of[H1004] the[H4058] gate[H8179] toward[H413] the[H4058] house,[H1004] one[H1004] reed.[H7070]
9
Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
Then[H227] he[H1004] measured[H4058] the[H4058] porch[H197] of[H1004] the[H4058] gate,[H8179] eight[H8083] cubits;[H520] and[H1004] its[H4058] posts,[H5982] two[H8147] cubits;[H520] and[H1004] the[H4058] porch[H197] of[H1004] the[H4058] gate[H8179] was[H1004] toward[H413] the[H4058] house.[H1004]
10
The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
The[H1870] side[H6311] rooms[H2315] of[H1870] the[H1870] gate[H8179] eastward[H6921] were[H7969] three[H7969] on[H1870] this[H1870] side,[H6311] and[H1870] three[H7969] on[H1870] that[H8179] side.[H6311] The[H1870] three[H7969] of[H1870] them[H1870] were[H7969] of[H1870] one[H259] measure.[H4060] The[H1870] posts[H5982] had[H7969] one[H259] measure[H4060] on[H1870] this[H1870] side[H6311] and[H1870] on[H1870] that[H8179] side.[H6311]
11
He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
He[H4058] measured[H4058] the[H4058] width[H7341] of[H8179] the[H4058] opening[H6607] of[H8179] the[H4058] gate,[H8179] ten[H6235] cubits;[H520] and[H7969] the[H4058] length[H753] of[H8179] the[H4058] gate,[H8179] thirteen[H7969] cubits;[H520]
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.
and[H6440] a[H6440] border[H1366] before[H6440] the[H6440] lodges,[H3885] one[H259] cubit[H520] on[H6440] this[H6440] side,[H6311] and[H6440] a[H6440] border,[H1366] one[H259] cubit[H520] on[H6440] that[H1366] side;[H6311] and[H6440] the[H6440] side[H6311] rooms,[H2315] six[H8337] cubits[H520] on[H6440] this[H6440] side,[H6311] and[H6440] six[H8337] cubits[H520] on[H6440] that[H1366] side.[H6311]
13
He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
He[H2568] measured[H4058] the[H4058] gate[H8179] from[H4058] the[H4058] roof[H1406] of[H8179] the[H4058] one[H7341] side[H5048] room[H8372] to[H8179] the[H4058] roof[H1406] of[H8179] the[H4058] other,[H5048] a[H4058] width[H7341] of[H8179] twenty-five[H6242] cubits,[H2568] door[H6607] against[H5048] door.[H6607]
14
He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
He[H6213] also[H6213] made[H6213] posts,[H5982] sixty[H8346] cubits;[H520] and[H8346] the[H6213] court[H2691] reached[H935] to[H6213] the[H6213] posts,[H5982] around[H5439] the[H6213] gate.[H8179]
15
From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
From[H6440] the[H6440] forefront[H6440] of[H6440] the[H6440] gate[H8179] at[H5921] the[H6440] entrance[H8179] to[H5921] the[H6440] forefront[H6440] of[H6440] the[H6440] inner[H6442] porch[H197] of[H6440] the[H6440] gate[H8179] were[H6440] fifty[H2572] cubits.[H520]
16
There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.
There[H8033] were[H8179] closed[H5462] windows[H2474] to[H8179] the[H5439] side[H5439] rooms,[H5439] and[H8179] to[H8179] their[H5439] posts[H5982] within[H6441] the[H5439] gate[H8179] all[H5439] around,[H5439] and[H8179] likewise[H3651] to[H8179] the[H5439] arches.[H361] Windows[H2474] were[H8179] around[H5439] inward.[H6441] Palm[H8561] trees[H8561] were[H8179] on[H8372] each[H5439] post.[H4201]
17
Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.
Then[H2009] he[H6213] brought[H6213] me[H6213] into[H6213] the[H6213] outer[H2435] court.[H2691] Behold,[H2009] there[H2009] were[H2691] rooms[H3957] and[H7970] a[H6213] pavement[H7531] made[H6213] for[H6213] the[H6213] court[H2691] all[H5439] around.[H5439] Thirty[H7970] rooms[H3957] were[H2691] on[H6213] the[H6213] pavement.[H7531]
18
The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
The[H5980] pavement[H7531] was[H8179] by[H8179] the[H5980] side[H3802] of[H8179] the[H5980] gates,[H8179] corresponding[H5980] to[H8179] the[H5980] length[H753] of[H8179] the[H5980] gates,[H8179] even[H1571] the[H5980] lower[H8481] pavement.[H7531]
19
Then he measured the width 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.
Then[H227] he[H6440] measured[H4058] the[H6440] width[H7341] from[H6440] the[H6440] forefront[H6440] of[H6440] the[H6440] lower[H8481] gate[H8179] to[H6440] the[H6440] forefront[H6440] of[H6440] the[H6440] inner[H6442] court[H2691] outside,[H2351] one[H7341] hundred[H3967] cubits,[H520] both[H8147] on[H6440] the[H6440] east[H6921] and[H3967] on[H6440] the[H6440] north.[H6828]
20
He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces toward the north.
He[H6440] measured[H4058] the[H6440] length[H753] and[H6440] width[H7341] of[H6440] the[H6440] gate[H8179] of[H6440] the[H6440] outer[H2435] court[H2691] which[H8179] faces[H6440] toward[H1870] the[H6440] north.[H6828]
21
The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
The[H1961] lodges[H3885] of[H8179] it[H1961] were[H1961] three[H7969] on[H1961] this[H1961] side[H6311] and[H6242] three[H7969] on[H1961] that[H8179] side.[H6311] Its[H1961] posts[H5982] and[H6242] its[H1961] arches[H361] were[H1961] the[H1961] same[H1931] as[H1961] the[H1961] measure[H4060] of[H8179] the[H1961] first[H7223] gate:[H8179] its[H1961] length[H753] was[H1961] fifty[H2572] cubits,[H2568] and[H6242] the[H1961] width[H7341] twenty-five[H6242] cubits.[H2568]
22
Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces toward the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before them.
Its[H5927] windows,[H2474] its[H5927] arches,[H361] and[H6440] its[H5927] palm[H8561] trees[H8561] were[H6440] the[H6440] same[H1931] as[H5927] the[H6440] measure[H4060] of[H6440] the[H6440] gate[H8179] which[H8179] faces[H6440] toward[H1870] the[H6440] east.[H6921] They[H6440] went[H5927] up[H5927] to[H5927] it[H6440] by[H1870] seven[H7651] steps.[H4609] Its[H5927] arches[H361] were[H6440] before[H6440] them.[H6440]
23
There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.
There[H8033] was[H8179] a[H4058] gate[H8179] to[H8179] the[H4058] inner[H6442] court[H2691] facing[H6437] the[H4058] other[H5048] gate,[H8179] on[H5921] the[H4058] north[H6828] and[H3967] on[H5921] the[H4058] east.[H6921] He[H4058] measured[H4058] one[H3967] hundred[H3967] cubits[H520] from[H4058] gate[H8179] to[H8179] gate.[H8179]
24
He led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements.
He[H4058] led[H3212] me[H3212] toward[H1870] the[H1870] south;[H1864] and[H3212] behold,[H2009] there[H2009] was[H1870] a[H4058] gate[H8179] toward[H1870] the[H1870] south.[H1864] He[H4058] measured[H4058] its[H4058] posts[H5982] and[H3212] its[H4058] arches[H361] according[H5921] to[H3212] these[H428] measurements.[H4060]
25
There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
There[H8033] were[H2474] windows[H2474] in[H6242] it[H5439] and[H6242] in[H6242] its[H5439] arches[H361] all[H5439] around,[H5439] like[H5439] the[H5439] other[H312] windows:[H2474] the[H5439] length[H753] was[H3068] fifty[H2572] cubits,[H2568] and[H6242] the[H5439] width[H7341] twenty-five[H6242] cubits.[H2568]
26
There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
There[H6440] were[H6440] seven[H7651] steps[H4609] to[H6440] go[H4609] up[H4609] to[H6440] it,[H6440] and[H6440] its[H6440] arches[H361] were[H6440] before[H6440] them.[H6440] It[H6440] had[H3068] palm[H8561] trees,[H8561] one[H7651] on[H6440] this[H6440] side,[H6311] and[H6440] another[H6440] on[H6440] that[H4609] side,[H6311] on[H6440] its[H6440] posts.[H5982]

41
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.
Four[H702] tables[H7979] were[H8179] on[H7979] this[H2088] side,[H3802] and[H8179] four[H702] tables[H7979] on[H7979] that[H8179] side,[H3802] by[H8179] the[H7819] side[H3802] of[H8179] the[H7819] gate:[H8179] eight[H8083] tables,[H7979] on[H7979] which[H8179] they[H8179] killed[H7819] the[H7819] sacrifices.[H2077]

45
He said to me, “This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house.
He[H1004] said[H1696] to[H1696] me,[H6440] “This[H2090] room,[H1004] which[H1004] faces[H6440] toward[H1870] the[H6440] south,[H1864] is[H1870] for[H6440] the[H6440] priests[H3548] who[H3548] perform[H8104] the[H6440] duty[H4931] of[H1004] the[H6440] house.[H1004]
46
The room which faces 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.”
The[H6440] room[H3957] which[H3068] faces[H6440] toward[H1870] the[H6440] north[H6828] is[H3068] for[H6440] the[H6440] priests[H3548] who[H3068] perform[H8104] the[H6440] duty[H4931] of[H1121] the[H6440] altar.[H4196] These[H1992] are[H1992] the[H6440] sons[H1121] of[H1121] Zadok,[H6659] who[H3068] from[H6440] among[H8432] the[H6440] sons[H1121] of[H1121] Levi[H3878] come[H7131] near[H7131] to[H3068] Yahweh[H3068] to[H3068] minister[H8334] to[H3068] him.”[H6440]
47
He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.
He[H1004] measured[H4058] the[H6440] court,[H2691] one[H3967] hundred[H3967] cubits[H520] long[H6440] and[H3967] one[H3967] hundred[H3967] cubits[H520] wide,[H7341] square.[H7251] The[H6440] altar[H4196] was[H1004] before[H6440] the[H6440] house.[H1004]
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. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
Then[H227] he[H2568] brought[H935] me[H1004] to[H1004] the[H4058] porch[H197] of[H1004] the[H4058] house,[H1004] and[H1004] measured[H4058] each[H6311] post[H4201] of[H1004] the[H4058] porch,[H197] five[H2568] cubits[H2568] on[H1004] this[H1004] side,[H6311] and[H1004] five[H2568] cubits[H2568] on[H1004] that[H8179] side.[H6311] The[H4058] width[H7341] of[H1004] the[H4058] gate[H8179] was[H1004] three[H7969] cubits[H2568] on[H1004] this[H1004] side[H6311] and[H1004] three[H7969] cubits[H2568] on[H1004] that[H8179] side.[H6311]
49
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
The[H5927] length[H753] of[H5982] the[H5927] porch[H197] was[H5982] twenty[H6242] cubits[H520] and[H6242] the[H5927] width[H7341] eleven[H6249] cubits,[H520] even[H1571] by[H5927] the[H5927] steps[H4609] by[H5927] which[H834] they[H5927] went[H5927] up[H5927] to[H5927] it.[H5927] There[H5927] were[H834] pillars[H5982] by[H5927] the[H5927] posts,[H5982] one[H7341] on[H5927] this[H5927] side,[H6311] and[H6242] another[H312] on[H5927] that[H5927] side.[H6311]
Chapter 41
1
He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.
2
The width of the entrance was ten cubits;[1] and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.
3
Then he went inward and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
4
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the temple. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”
5
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.
6
The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported, and not penetrate the wall of the house.
7
The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.
8
I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.
9
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.
10
Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.
