1<\/strong> 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 Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, 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.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> And 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.<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.<\/p>\n

9<\/strong> Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.<\/p>\n

10<\/strong> And 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.<\/p>\n

11<\/strong> And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;<\/p>\n

12<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

13<\/strong> And he measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.<\/p>\n

14<\/strong> He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court [reached] unto the posts, round about the gate.<\/p>\n

15<\/strong> And [from] the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.<\/p>\n

16<\/strong> And there were closed windows to the lodges, 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.<\/p>\n

17<\/strong> Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.<\/p>\n

18<\/strong> And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.<\/p>\n

19<\/strong> Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.<\/p>\n

20<\/strong> And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.<\/p>\n

21<\/strong> And the lodges 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.<\/p>\n

22<\/strong> And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.<\/p>\n

23<\/strong> And 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 a hundred cubits.<\/p>\n

24<\/strong> And he led 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.<\/p>\n

25<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

26<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

27<\/strong> And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.<\/p>\n

28<\/strong> Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;<\/p>\n

29<\/strong> and the lodges 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.<\/p>\n

30<\/strong> And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.<\/p>\n

31<\/strong> And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: and the ascent to it had eight steps.<\/p>\n

32<\/strong> And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;<\/p>\n

33<\/strong> and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, 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.<\/p>\n

34<\/strong> And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.<\/p>\n

35<\/strong> And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;<\/p>\n

36<\/strong> the lodges thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof: and there were windows therein round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.<\/p>\n

37<\/strong> And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.<\/p>\n

38<\/strong> And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt-offering.<\/p>\n

39<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

40<\/strong> And on the [one] side without, as one goeth 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. [<\/p>\n

41<\/strong> Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [the sacrifices] .<\/p>\n

42<\/strong> And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.<\/p>\n

43<\/strong> And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.<\/p>\n

44<\/strong> And without the inner gate were chambers 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.<\/p>\n

45<\/strong> 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;<\/p>\n

46<\/strong> 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, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister unto him.<\/p>\n

47<\/strong> And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.<\/p>\n

48<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

49<\/strong> The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"iawp_total_views":0},"tags":[171,170,208,173],"class_list":["post-22905","bible_chapter","type-bible_chapter","status-publish","hentry","tag-asv","tag-bible","tag-ezekiel","tag-old-testament"],"yoast_head":"\nEzekiel Chapter 40 - Easy To Understand<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read Ezekiel Chapter 40 and share your prayer request.
