Declare everything you see to the house of Israel.' 5 Behold, a wall surrounded the temple area. The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured the width of the structure as one rod and its height as one rod. 6 Then he went to the gateway that faced east, climbed its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate as one rod wide. 7 Each guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide, and the space between the guardrooms was five cubits. The threshold of the gateway at the porch of the gate, located toward the inside, was also one rod. 8 He measured the porch of the gateway, which faced the interior, as one rod. 9 He measured the porch of the gate as eight cubits, and its pilasters as two cubits. The porch of the gate faced inward. 10 There were three guardrooms on either side of the east-facing gateway, all of them were of equal dimension. The pilasters on either side also measured the same. 11 He measured the width of the gate opening as ten cubits and the length of the gateway as thirteen cubits. 12 There was a border of one cubit in front of the guardrooms on either side, and each guardroom was six cubits square on both sides. 13 He measured the gateway from the roof of one guardroom to the roof of the opposite one; the width was twenty-five cubits. Doorway faced doorway. 14 He made the pilasters sixty cubits high, and the court was surrounded by the gate. 15 And the entire length of the gateway, from the front of the entrance to the inner porch of the gate, was fifty cubits. 16 The gateway had windows with beveled frames facing inward toward the guardrooms and to their posts on all sides. The same applied to the porches. Around the gateway, windows were also built, and representations of palm trees decorated its posts. 17 Then he brought me to the outer courtyard, where there were chambers and a paved surface created all around the courtyard. Thirty chambers faced the pavement. 18 The pavement ran alongside the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the front of the inner courtyard's gate; it was one hundred cubits eastward and northward. 20 He measured a gate that faced north, belonging to the outer courtyard. Its length and width were measured. 21 Its guardrooms—three on each side—its posts and its porches had the same dimensions as the first gate, fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 22 Its windows, its porches, and its palm tree decorations were designed similarly to the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, and its porches were in front of them. 23 There was a gate to the inner courtyard opposite the northern and the eastern gates, and he measured the distance—one hundred cubits from gate to gate. 24 Then he led me southward, where I saw a gate facing south. He measured its posts and its porches, and their dimensions matched those of the others. 25 The gate and its porches had windows all around, like the other windows—fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 26 Its staircase had seven steps, leading up to it, and its porches were in front of them. It also had palm tree decorations, one on each side of its posts. 27 A gate to the inner courtyard facing south was opposite this gate. He measured from gate to gate, and it was one hundred cubits. 28 Then he brought me through the south gate into the inner courtyard, where he measured this gate, and it had the same dimensions as the others. 29 Its guardrooms, posts, and porches had the same measurements as the others. The gate and its porches had windows all around, fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 30 The porches stretched all around, with a length of twenty-five cubits and a width of five cubits. 31 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and palm tree decorations adorned its posts. Eight steps led up to it. 32 Then he brought me to the inner courtyard, facing east, measured the gate, and its dimensions were the same as the others. 33 Its guardrooms, posts, and porches had the same measurements as the others. Windows were all around the gate and its porches. The total length was fifty cubits, and the width was twenty-five cubits. 34 Its porch faced the outer courtyard. Palm tree decorations were on its posts, one on each side. Eight steps led up to it. 35 He brought me to the north gate and measured it. Its dimensions were the same as the others. 36 Its guardrooms, posts, and porches matched the measurements of the others. Windows were all around. The length of the gate was fifty cubits, and the width was twenty-five cubits. 37 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, with palm tree decorations on its posts, one on each side. Eight steps led up to it. 38 There was a chamber with its entrance by the gateposts, where the burnt offerings were washed. 39 Inside the porch of the gate were two tables on each side, to slaughter the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. 40 On the outer side of the north gate, at its entrance, were two tables, and on the other side of the porch, there were two more tables. 41 Four tables were on one side and four on the other, beside the gate. There were eight tables in total, where the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 Additionally, there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offerings, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high. On these, the tools for slaughtering the burnt offerings and sacrifices were placed. 43 Hooks, a handbreadth in length, were fixed all around the inside. The tables were used for placing the meat of the sacrifices. 44 Outside the inner gate, in the inner courtyard, were chambers for the singers, by the side of the north gate facing south, and one by the side of the east gate facing north. 45 Then he said to me, 'This chamber, which faces south, is for the priests who keep charge of the temple.' 46 And the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who are from the descendants of Levi and are allowed to come near to the LORD to minister to Him. 47 He measured the courtyard as one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, forming a square. The altar was in front of the temple. 48 Then he brought me to the porch of the temple and measured the pilasters of the porch; they were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other. The width of the entrance was three cubits on each side.
