their enemies, and was sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.

So they shall know that I the LORD am their God, which have led them away among the heathen, and have gathered them again into their own land, and have not left one of them there.

And I will hide my face from them no more: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the LORD GOD.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 40
Of the new temple’s outhouse.

In the five and twentieth year of our imprisonment, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, which is the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, the same day the hand of the LORD came upon me, and brought me thither.

By divine visions, namely, into the land of Israel; and I stood upon a very high mountain, and there was there like a city built from the south.

And when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man in the likeness of brass, having a cord of linen, and a measuring rod in his hand, standing under the gate.

And he said unto me, Son of man, behold, and hearken diligently, and mark the things which I shall shew thee. For therefore art thou brought, that I might shew thee these things, that thou mightest shew all these things, which thou seest here, unto the house of Israel.

And, behold, there went out a wall round about the house. And the man had a measuring rod in his hand, which was six cubits long; every cubit was a handbreadth longer than a cubit. He measured the width of the building by one rod, and the height by one rod.

And he came to the gate that was toward the east, and went up by his steps, and measured the thresholds of the gate, every threshold a rod broad.

And the chambers that were by the gate on either side measured he a rod by the length, and a rod by the breadth: and the space between the chambers was five cubits. And he measured also the thresholds of the gate of the hall from within one cubit.

And he measured the hall at the gate from within a rod.

And the hall of the gate measured eight cubits, and the bays thereof two cubits, and the hall from within the gate.

And the chambers were on every side three at the gate eastward, every one as wide as the other: and on both sides were bays of the same size.

And afterward he measured the breadth of the door of the gate, even ten cubits; and the length of the gate thirteen cubits.

And in the front of the chambers there was room on either side, every cubit: but the chambers were six cubits on either side.

And he measured the gate from the roof of the chamber unto the roof of the gate, twenty and five cubits broad; and the door was over against the door.

He made also oriels threescore cubits, and before every oriel a court by the gate round about.

And unto the porch of the inner gate, where they go in, were fifty cubits.

And there were narrow windows in the chambers, and in the oriels round about, at the gate round about. And there were windows in the inner parts of the halls round about, and palm trees in the oriels round about.

And he brought me to the outer court: and, behold, there were chambers and a pavement made round about in the court, and thirty chambers in the pavement.

And the higher pavement was at the gates, as long as the gates were, at the lower pavement.

And he measured the breadth of the lower gate before the inner court, an hundred cubits without, both toward the east and toward the north.

And he measured the gate that was toward the north, by the outer court, by the length thereof, and by the breadth thereof.

Which had also on every side three chambers, and had also his bays and halls, as great as at the former gate, fifty cubits the length, and twenty and five cubits the breadth.

And he had also his windows, and his halls, and his palm tree, as the gate eastward: and he had seven steps to go up, and his hall before it.

And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate that was northward and eastward, and measured an hundred cubits from gate to gate.

Afterward he brought me toward the south, and, behold, there was also a gate toward the south: and he measured the oriels thereof, and the halls thereof, like unto the rest.

They also had windows and halls round about, like unto those windows, fifty cubits long, and twenty and five cubits broad.

And there were also seven steps up, and a hall before it, and palm trees in the bays thereof on every side.

And he measured also the gate of the inner court toward the south, an hundred cubits from the one south gate unto the other.

And he brought me on through the south gate into the inner court: and he measured the same gate toward the south, as great as the rest,

With his chambers, and oriels, and halls, and windows thereof, as great as those round about, fifty cubits long, and twenty and five cubits broad.

And there went round about a hall twenty and five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

This stood in the front of the outer court, and had also palm trees in the oriels; but there were eight steps to go up.

And afterward he brought me to the inner gate toward the east, and measured the same as the other gates,

with his chambers, and his oriels, and his halls, and his windows, and his halls round about, as great as the others, fifty cubits long, and twenty and five cubits broad.

And had also a hall toward the outer court, and palm trees in the oriels on either side, and eight steps up.

And afterward he brought me to the gate toward the north, which he measured to be as great as the rest,

with his chambers, oriels, and halls, and their windows and halls round about, fifty cubits long, and twenty and five cubits broad.

And had also a hall toward the outer court, and palm trees in the oriels on either side, and eight steps up.

And down by the oriels of every gate was a chamber with a door, wherein they washed the burnt offering.

And in the hall that was before the gate were two tables on every side, whereon the burnt offerings, and the sin offerings, and the trespass offerings, were to be offered.

And on the other side, on the way up to the gate, toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, under the porch of the gate, were two tables.

So there were four tables on every side before the gate: that is, eight tables in the midst, whereon they slew.

And the four tables made for the burnt offering were of hewn stones, each a cubit and a half long and broad, and a cubit and a half high: and there were laid thereon all manner of vessels for the slaying of burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And there went round about bars bent inward, upward of a cross hand. And on the tables they were to lay the flesh of the sacrifice.

And without the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court: one on the side, beside the gate at midnight, which looked toward the south; the other on the side toward the east, which looked toward the midnight.

And he said unto me, The chamber toward the south belongeth unto the priests that minister in the house;

But the chamber toward the north belongeth unto the priests that minister upon the altar.
These are the children of Zadok, which alone among the children of Levi shall come before the LORD to minister unto him.

And he measured the place of the house, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, squarely: and the altar was before the temple.

And he brought me in unto the hall of the temple, and measured the hall five cubits on every side, and the gate three cubits on every side.

And the hall was twenty cubits long, and eleven cubits broad, and had steps to go up; and pillars were at the bottom of the bays, one on each side.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 41
Description of the inner temple.

And he brought me into the temple, and measured the bays of the walls, which were six cubits on every side, according to the breadth of the house.

And the door was ten cubits broad, and the walls on either side of the door were every five cubits broad. And he measured the room of the temple; which was forty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth.

And he went in within, and measured the door, two cubits: and the door was six cubits, and the breadth of the door seven cubits.

And he measured twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, by the temple. And he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits high; and there were courses round about it, divided into chambers, four cubits broad on every side.

And there were thirty and three of them on every side, one by one: and there were pillars by the walls of the house round about, which bare them.

And above these were more passages round about, and above were the passages wider, that one went out of the lower into the middle, and out of the middle into the upper.

And each
