Ezek 40:1-9 : 1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me and brought me there.
2 In the visions of God, He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on which was something like the structure of a city to the south.
3 He brought me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen line in his hand and a measuring reed, and he stood in the gateway.
4 The man said to me, "Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show it to you. Declare all you see to the house of Israel."
5 There was a wall all around the outside of the temple, and in the man's hand was a measuring reed six cubits long, each cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth. So he measured the width of the wall structure, one reed, and the height, one reed.
6 Then he went to the gateway facing east and went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gateway, which was one reed wide, and the other threshold was also one reed wide.
7 Each gate chamber was one reed long and one reed wide; between the gate chambers was a space of five cubits, and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate was one reed.
8 He also measured the vestibule of the inside gate, one reed.
9 Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and the posts were two cubits. The vestibule of the gate was toward the inside.
10 In the eastern gateway were three gate chambers on one side and three on the other; the three were of the same size, and the posts had the same size on this side and that.
11 He measured the width of the entrance to the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 There was a barrier before the gate chambers, one cubit on this side and one cubit on that side; the chambers were six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.
13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the other, the width was twenty-five cubits as door faced door.
14 He made the gateposts sixty cubits high, and the court all around the gateway extended to the gatepost.
15 From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the vestibule of the inner gate was fifty cubits.
16 There were beveled window frames in the gate chambers and in their intervening archways on the inside of the gateway all around, and likewise in the vestibules. There were windows all around on the inside, and on each gatepost were palm trees.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement made all around the court; thirty chambers faced the pavement.
18 The pavement was by the side of the gateways, corresponding to the length of the gateways; this was the lower pavement.
19 Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gateway to the front of the inner court exterior, one hundred cubits toward the east and the north.
20 On the outer court was also a gateway facing north, and he measured its length and its width.
21 Its gate chambers, three on this side and three on that side, its gateposts, and its arches had the same measurements as the first gate; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
22 Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees had the same measurements as the gate facing east; it was ascended by seven steps, and its arches were in front of it.
23 A gate of the inner court was opposite the northern gate, just as the eastern gate; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.
24 After that he brought me toward the south, and there was a gateway facing south; and he measured its gateposts and its arches according to these same measurements.
25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around like those windows; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
26 Seven steps led up to it, and its arches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its gateposts, one on this side and another on that side.
27 There was also a gateway on the inner court facing south, and he measured from gate to gate toward the south one hundred cubits.
28 Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate according to these same measurements.
29 Its gate chambers, its posts, and its arches were according to these same measurements; and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
30 The arches all around were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
31 Its arches faced the outer court, palm trees were on its gateposts, and going up to it were eight steps.
32 He brought me into the inner court facing east; he measured the gateway according to these measurements.
33 Its gate chambers, its posts, and its arches were according to these measurements. And there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
34 Its arches faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its gateposts, on this side and on that side; and going up to it were eight steps.
35 He brought me to the north gate and measured it according to these same measurements.
36 Also its gate chambers, its posts, and its arches; it had windows all around, its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.
37 Its gateposts faced the outer court; palm trees were on its gateposts on this side and on that side; and going up to it were eight steps.
38 There was a chamber and its doorway by the gateposts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
39 In the vestibule of the gateway were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
40 At the outer side of the vestibule, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of the vestibule of the gateway were two tables.
41 Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side; by the sides of the gateway, eight tables on which they slaughtered their sacrifices.
42 There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, each one cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; on these they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
