stood six cubits above the other.

And the breadth of the upper courses was five cubits, and the pillars bare the courses of the house.

And there was from the wall of the house to the wall of the house twenty cubits.

And there were two doors at the snail’s mouth, one toward the north, and the other toward the south: and the snail’s mouth was five cubits wide.

And the wall toward the west was seventy and five cubits broad, and ninety cubits long.

And he measured the length of the house, which was an hundred cubits, and the wall thereof, and all that was therein.

And the breadth of the front of the house toward the east, with the things that hung thereon, was also an hundred cubits.

And he measured the length of the building, and all that was therein, from one corner to the
other, an hundred cubits on every side, with the inner temple, and the halls of the court.

with the doors, and the windows, and the corners, and the three courses, and the table-work round about.

He measured also how high from the earth to the windows, and how broad the windows should be; and measured from the gate unto the holy of holies, outward and in turning round about.

And all about the house, from beneath to the top of the door, and upon the walls, were cherubims and palm trees made under the cherubims.

And every cherub had two heads, on the one side like the head of a man, and on the other like the head of a lion.

And from the floor unto the top of the door were carved the cherubims and the palm trees, and the wall of the temple.

And the door of the temple was foursquare, and all things were well joined together.

And the altar of wood was three cubits high, and two cubits long and broad; and the corners thereof, and all the sides thereof, were of wood. And he said unto me, This is the table that shall stand before the LORD.

And the door, both of the temple, and of the holy of holies, 24. had two leaves, which one did open and close.

And there were also cherubims and palm trees upon it, as upon the walls. And before it were strong bars against the hall.

And there were narrow windows, and much palm-work about the hall, and about the walls.

Chapter 42
Of the temple outbuildings.

And he brought me out unto the outer court northward, under the chambers that were over against the building that hung upon the temple, and over against the temple northward, 2. Which place was an hundred cubits long from the gate toward the north, and fifty cubits broad.

Twenty cubits were toward the inner court, and toward the pavement in the outer court, and thirty cubits from one corner to another.

And within the chambers was a place ten cubits broad before the doors of the chambers: all this was toward the north.

And above these chambers were other chambers narrower: for the space of the lower and middle chambers was not large.

For it was three chambers high, and yet had no pillars, as the courts had pillars, but were badly set one upon another.

And the outer court was compassed about with a wall, where the chambers were: the wall was fifty cubits long.

And the chambers were one after another, even fifty cubits, in the outer court: but the space before the temple was an hundred cubits;

And down before the chambers was a place toward the east, as one went out of the outer court: 10. And by the wall of the east were chambers also.

And there was also a place before it, as before those chambers, toward the north: and all was the same in length, and in breadth, and in all that was therein, as it was above in them.

And at noon there were also the same chambers with their doors: and before the place was the door at noon, to which one cometh from the wall that lieth on the east.

And he said unto me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, which are toward the temple, are of the sanctuary, wherein the priests eat, when they offer the most holy sacrifice unto the LORD. And they shall put therein the most holy sacrifices, the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: for it is a holy place.

And when the priests go in, they shall not go out again of the sanctuary into the outer court, but shall first lay aside their garments wherein they ministered in the chambers thereof: for they are holy: and they shall put on their other garments, and then go forth among the people.

And when he had measured the house within, he brought me forth unto the gate toward the
east, and measured it round about.

In the morning he measured five hundred rods.

And about midnight he also measured five hundred rods,

likewise about noon also five hundred rods.

And when he was come toward even, he measured also five hundred rods.

So the wall which he measured was fourscore and five hundred rods on every side round about, that the holy might be divided from the unholy.

Chapter 43
Of the new temple’s glory, worship, and dedication.

And he brought me again unto the gate toward the east.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east, and roared as a great flood; and there was great light upon the earth from his glory.

And it was like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, when I came to destroy the city.
Then fell I down on my face.

And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate toward the east.

And a wind took me up, and brought me into the inner court: and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

And I heard one speaking with me out of the house. And a man stood by me, 7. And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, wherein I will dwell for ever among the children of Israel. And the house of Israel shall no more pollute my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their fornication, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places,

Who have set their threshold against my threshold, and their posts against my posts, that there was but a wall between me and them: and they have polluted my holy name with their abominations which they have done: therefore have I consumed them also in mine anger.

But now they shall put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me: and I will dwell among them for ever.

And thou, son of man, shew the house of Israel the temple, that they may be ashamed of their iniquity; and let them take a clean pattern of it.

And if they be ashamed of all their doings, shew them the manner and pattern of the house, and the going out thereof, and the coming in thereof, and all the manner thereof, and all the manners thereof, and all the statutes thereof; and prescribe it unto them, that they may keep all the manner thereof, and all the manners thereof, and do them.

And this shall be the law of the house: In the height of the mountain, as far as it hath compassed it, shall it be the most holy: this is the law of the house.

Now this is the measure of the altar by the cubit, which is a handbreadth longer than a cubit: the foot thereof is a cubit high, and a cubit broad; and the altar reacheth up unto the brim thereof, which is a span broad round about: and this is the height thereof.

And from the foot of the earth unto the lower part thereof shall be two cubits high and an cubit broad: but from the small part thereof unto the great part thereof shall be four cubits high and an cubit broad.

And the harel four cubits high, and from the ariel above four horns.

And the length of the ariel was twelve cubits, and the breadth thereof twelve cubits.

And the top of it was fourteen cubits long, and fourteen cubits broad on every side; and the border was about half a cubit broad; and the foot thereof was a cubit high, and the steps thereof were toward the east.

And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the LORD, These shall be the manner of the altar in the day that it is made, to lay burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

And unto the priests of Levi, of the seed of Zadok, which come before me to minister unto me, saith the LORD GOD, thou shalt give a young bullock for a sin offering.

And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and sprinkle it upon the four horns thereof, and upon the four corners of the topmost part thereof, and upon the borders thereof; and thou
shalt make an atonement for him therewith.

And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin offering, and burn it in the place of the house appointed for it, even in the sanctuary.

And on the morrow thou shalt offer a kid of the goats, without change, for a sin offering, and shalt sanctify the altar therewith, as it is sanctified with the bullock.

And when thou hast made an end of atoning, thou shalt offer a young bullock without change, and a ram of the flock without change.

And thou shalt offer them both before the
