Ezequiel 40
Schlachter-Bibel 1951
1Im fünfundzwanzigsten Jahre unserer Gefangenschaft, am Anfang des Jahres, am zehnten Tage des Monats, im vierzehnten Jahre, nachdem die Stadt erobert worden war, an eben dem Tage, kam die Hand des HERRN über mich und führte mich dorthin.
2In göttlichen Gesichten führte er mich ins Land Israel und ließ mich nieder auf einem sehr hohen Berg; auf dessen Südseite war etwas wie der Bau einer Stadt. Dorthin führte er mich.
3Und siehe, da war ein Mann, der sah aus, als wäre er von Erz, und er hatte eine leinene Schnur in der Hand und eine Meßrute; und er stand unter dem Tor.
4Und der Mann sprach zu mir: Menschensohn, schau mit deinen Augen und höre mit deinen Ohren und fasse zu Herzen alles, was ich dir zeigen werde! Denn du bist hierhergebracht worden, daß dir solches gezeigt werde; alles, was du sehen wirst, sollst du dem Hause Israel verkündigen!
5Und siehe, es war eine Mauer außerhalb, rings um das Haus herum; und die Meßrute, welche der Mann in der Hand hatte, war sechs Ellen lang, deren jede eine gewöhnliche Elle und eine Handbreite betrug. Damit maß er die Breite des Baues: eine Rute, und die Höhe: auch eine Rute.
6Und er ging zu dem Tor gegen den Aufgang der Sonne und stieg dessen Stufen hinan und maß die Schwelle des Tors: eine Rute breit, und eine jede Schwelle: eine Rute breit.
7Und eine jede Nische war eine Rute lang und eine Rute breit; und zwischen den Nischen war ein Zwischenraum von fünf Ellen. Und die Schwelle des Tors neben der Torhalle auf der Innenseite maß eine Rute.
8Er maß auch die Halle des Tors nach einwärts: eine Rute.
9Darnach maß er die Halle des Tors; acht Ellen, und ihre Pfeiler: zwei Ellen; die Halle des Tors lag nach innen zu.
10Der Nischen des Tors gegen Osten waren auf jeder Seite drei; alle drei hatten dasselbe Maß.
11Darnach maß er die Breite der Toröffnung: zehn Ellen; die Länge des Torweges: dreizehn Ellen.
12Der Raum vor den Nischen betrug eine Elle; auf der andern Seite betrug der Raum ebenfalls eine Elle. Die Nische selbst aber maß sechs Ellen auf der einen und sechs Ellen auf der andern Seite.
13Dann maß er das Tor vom Dach einer Nische bis zum Dach der andern: eine Breite von fünfundzwanzig Ellen; eine Tür der andern gegenüber.
14Und er machte die Wandpfeiler sechzig Ellen und den Hofraum am Tor ringsum bis an die Wandpfeiler.
15Und von der Vorderseite des Tors am Eingang bis zur Vorderseite der innern Torhalle waren es fünfzig Ellen.
16Und vergitterte Fenster waren an den Nischen und bei ihren Pfeilern inwendig am Torbau ringsum, und ebenso hatte die Vorhalle ringsum Fenster nach innen zu, und an den Pfeilern waren Palmen.
17Und er führte mich in den äußern Vorhof, und siehe, daselbst waren Gemächer, und ein Steinpflaster war gemacht ringsherum im Vorhof; dreißig Gemächer lagen nach dem Steinpflaster zu.
18Dieses Steinpflaster war seitlich an den Toren und entsprach der Länge der Tore: das war das untere Steinpflaster.
19Und er maß die Breite des Vorhofs von der Vorderseite des untern Tores bis zur Vorderseite des äußeren Tores am innern Vorhof: hundert Ellen; gegen Osten und gegen Norden.
20Auch das Tor am äußern Vorhof, das nach Norden schaut, maß er nach seiner Länge und Breite.
21Es hatte drei Nischen auf der einen und drei Nischen auf der andern Seite, und seine Pfeiler und seine Vorhalle hatten dasselbe Maß wie das erste Tor; seine Länge betrug fünfzig Ellen und seine Breite fünfundzwanzig Ellen.
22Und seine Fenster, seine Halle und seine Palmen hatten dasselbe Maß wie am Osttor; man ging auf sieben Stufen hinauf, und seine Halle lag nach innen zu.
23Und das Tor zum innern Vorhof entsprach dem äußern Tor gegen Norden und dem gegen Osten. Von einem Tor zum andern maß er hundert Ellen.
24Und er führte mich in südlicher Richtung, und siehe, daselbst stand noch ein Tor gegen Mittag; dessen Pfeiler und Halle maß er und fand sie gleich wie jene.
25Auch es hatte Fenster, und auch seine Halle hatte Fenster ringsum, den andern Fenstern gleich. Es war fünfzig Ellen lang und fünfundzwanzig Ellen breit
26und hatte eine Treppe von sieben Stufen und eine Halle davor; die hatte auch Palmbäume, einen an diesem und einen am andern Pfeiler.
27Und ein Tor bildete den südlichen Eingang zum innern Vorhof. Und er maß vom äußern Tor bis zum Tor des südlichen Eingangs: hundert Ellen.
28Und er führte mich in den innern Vorhof durch das südliche Tor; dasselbe maß er und fand dieselben Maße.
29Auch seine Nischen, seine Pfeiler und seine Halle hatten dieselben Maße. Und es hatte Fenster, wie auch seine Halle, ringsum, und es war fünfzig Ellen lang und fünfundzwanzig Ellen breit.
30(Und Hallen gingen ringsum, fünfundzwanzig Ellen lang und fünf Ellen breit.)
31Und seine Vorhalle lag gegen den äußern Vorhof zu. An seinen Pfeilern waren Palmen, und acht Stufen bildeten seinen Aufgang.
32Und er führte mich im innern Vorhof zum Eingang gegen Osten und fand das Tor vom gleichen Ausmaß wie jenes.
33Auch seine Nischen, Pfeiler und Halle hatten das gleiche Maß wie jene. Es hatte auch Fenster ringsum, ebenso seine Halle. Die Länge betrug fünfzig Ellen, die Breite fünfundzwanzig Ellen.
34Seine Vorhalle lag nach dem äußern Vorhof zu; Palmen waren auf seinen Pfeilern, auf dieser und auf jener Seite, und eine Treppe von acht Stufen führte hinauf.
35Und er führte mich zum nördlichen Tor und fand dieselben Maße.
36Es hatte Nischen, Pfeiler, eine Halle und ringsum Fenster; seine Länge betrug fünfzig Ellen und die Breite fünfundzwanzig Ellen.
37Und seine Vorhalle lag nach dem äußern Vorhof zu; Palmen waren an den Pfeilern zu beiden Seiten, und sieben Stufen bildeten seinen Aufgang.
38Und ein Gemach war da, deren Tür sich an den Torpfeilern befand: daselbst wusch man das Brandopfer ab.
39Und in der Halle des Tores standen auf beiden Seiten je zwei Tische, um auf ihnen die Brandopfer, Sündopfer und Schuldopfer zu schächten.
40Und an der Außenseite beim Aufstieg zum Eingang des nördlichen Tores standen zwei Tische, und auf der andern Seite bei der Halle des Tores waren auch zwei Tische.
41Vier Tische auf dieser und vier Tische auf jener Seite standen seitlich des Tores, also acht Tische, auf denen man schächtete.
42Ferner waren da vier Tische für das Brandopfer, aus behauenen Steinen, anderthalb Ellen lang und anderthalb Ellen breit und eine Elle hoch; darauf sollte man die Geräte legen, womit man die Brandopfer und Schlachtopfer schächtete.
43Und Ränder von einer Handbreite waren ringsum angebracht nach innen zu, und auf die Tische kam das Opferfleisch zu liegen.
44Und an der Außenseite des innern Tores, im innern Vorhof, waren Fürstengemächer: eines an der Seite des Nordtores, das gegen Mittag schaut, das andere seitlich des Südtores, das gegen Mitternacht schaut.
45Und er sprach zu mir: Dieses Gemach, das gegen Süden gerichtet ist, gehört den Priestern, welche den Tempeldienst überwachen!
46Jenes Gemach aber, welches gegen Norden schaut, ist für die Priester bestimmt, welche den Altardienst überwachen, nämlich für die Söhne Zadoks, die von den Söhnen Levis sich dem HERRN nahen dürfen, ihm zu dienen.
47Und er maß den Vorhof: hundert Ellen lang und hundert Ellen breit, ein Viereck; der Altar aber stand vor dem Hause.
48Und er führte mich zur Vorhalle des Hauses und maß die Pfeiler der Vorhalle, die hatten auf dieser und auf jener Seite eine Dicke von fünf Ellen. Die Breite des Toreingangs maß auf beiden Seiten drei Ellen.
49Die Länge der Halle betrug zwanzig Ellen und die Breite elf Ellen; man stieg auf Stufen hinauf; und es standen Säulen bei den Pfeilern, eine hier, die andere dort.
Reina-Valera 1909
1EN el año veinticinco de nuestro cautiverio, al principio del año, á los diez del mes, á los catorce años después que la ciudad fué herida, en aquel mismo día fué sobre mí la mano de Jehová, y llevóme allá.
2En visiones de Dios me llevó á la tierra de Israel, y púsome sobre un monte muy alto, sobre el cual había como edificio de una ciudad al mediodía.
3Y llevóme allí, y he aquí un varón, cuyo aspecto era como aspecto de metal, y tenía un cordel de lino en su mano, y una caña de medir: y él estaba á la puerta.
4Y hablóme aquel varón, diciendo: Hijo del hombre, mira con tus ojos, y oye con tus oídos, y pon tu corazón á todas las cosas que te muestro; porque para que yo te las mostrase eres traído aquí. Cuenta todo lo que ves á la casa de Israel.
5Y he aquí, un muro fuera de la casa: y la caña de medir que aquel varón tenía en la mano, era de seis codos, de á codo y palmo: y midió la anchura del edificio de una caña, y la altura, de otra caña.
6Después vino á la puerta que daba cara hacia el oriente, y subió por sus gradas, y midió el un poste de la puerta, de una caña en anchura, y el otro poste de otra caña en ancho.
7Y cada cámara tenía una caña de largo, y una caña de ancho; y entre las cámaras había cinco codos en ancho; y cada poste de la puerta junto á la entrada de la puerta por dentro, una caña.
8Midió asimismo la entrada de la puerta por de dentro, una caña.
9Midió luego la entrada del portal, de ocho codos, y sus postes de dos codos; y la puerta del portal estaba por de dentro.
10Y la puerta de hacia el oriente tenía tres cámaras de cada parte, todas tres de una medida: también de una medida los portales de cada parte.
11Y midió la anchura de la entrada de la puerta, de diez codos; la longitud del portal de trece codos.
12Y el espacio de delante de las cámaras, de un codo de la una parte, y de otro codo de la otra; y cada cámara tenía seis codos de una parte, y seis codos de otra.
13Y midió la puerta desde el techo de la una cámara hasta el techo de la otra, veinticinco codos de anchura, puerta contra puerta.
14E hizo los postes de sesenta codos, cada poste del atrio y del portal por todo alrededor.
15Y desde la delantera de la puerta de la entrada hasta la delantera de la entrada de la puerta de dentro, cincuenta codos.
16Y había ventanas estrechas en las cámaras, y en sus portales por de dentro de la puerta alrededor, y asimismo en los corredores; y las ventanas estaban alrededor por de dentro; y en cada poste había palmas.
17Llevóme luego al atrio exterior, y he aquí, había cámaras, y solado hecho al atrio en derredor: treinta cámaras había alrededor en aquel atrio.
18Y el solado al lado de las puertas, en proporción á la longitud de los portales, era el solado más bajo.
19Y midió la anchura desde la delantera de la puerta de abajo hasta la delantera del atrio interior por de fuera, de cien codos hacia el oriente y el norte.
20Y de la puerta que estaba hacia el norte en el atrio exterior, midió su longitud y su anchura.
21Y sus cámaras eran tres de una parte, y tres de otra; y sus postes y sus arcos eran como la medida de la puerta primera: cincuenta codos su longitud, y veinticinco su anchura.
22Y sus ventanas, y sus arcos, y sus palmas, eran conforme á la medida de la puerta que estaba hacia el oriente; y subían á ella por siete gradas; y delante de ellas estaban sus arcos.
23Y la puerta del atrio interior estaba enfrente de la puerta al norte; y así al oriente: y midió de puerta á puerta cien codos.
24Llevóme después hacia el mediodía, y he aquí una puerta hacia el mediodía: y midió sus portales y sus arcos conforme á estas medidas.
25Y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor, como las ventanas: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinticinco codos.
26Y sus gradas eran de siete peldaños, con sus arcos delante de ellas; y tenía palmas, una de una parte, y otra de la otra, en sus postes.
27Y había puerta de hacia el mediodía del atrio interior: y midió de puerta á puerta hacia el mediodía cien codos.
28Metióme después en el atrio de adentro á la puerta del mediodía, y midió la puerta del mediodía conforme á estas medidas.
29Y sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, eran conforme á estas medidas; y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y de veinticinco codos la anchura.
30Y los arcos alrededor eran de veinticinco codos de largo, y cinco codos de ancho.
31Y sus arcos caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en sus postes; y sus gradas eran de ocho escalones.
32Y llevóme al atrio interior hacia el oriente, y midió la puerta conforme á estas medidas.
33Y eran sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, conforme á estas medidas: y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinticinco codos.
34Y sus arcos caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en sus postes de una parte y otra: y sus gradas eran de ocho escalones.
35Llevóme luego á la puerta del norte, y midió conforme á estas medidas:
36Sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, y sus ventanas alrededor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y de veinticinco codos el ancho.
37Y sus postes caían fuera al atrio, con palmas á cada uno de sus postes de una parte y otra: y sus gradas eran de ocho peldaños.
38Y había allí una cámara, y su puerta con postes de portales; allí lavarán el holocausto.
39Y en la entrada de la puerta había dos mesas de la una parte, y otras dos de la otra, para degollar sobre ellas el holocausto, y la expiación, y el sacrificio por el pecado.
40Y al lado por de fuera de las gradas, á la entrada de la puerta del norte, había dos mesas; y al otro lado que estaba á la entrada de la puerta, dos mesas.
41Cuatro mesas de la una parte, y cuatro mesas de la otra parte al lado de la puerta; ocho mesas, sobre las cuales degollarán.
42Y las cuatro mesas para el holocausto eran de piedras labradas, de un codo y medio de longitud, y codo y medio de ancho, y de altura de un codo: sobre éstas pondrán las herramientas con que degollarán el holocausto y el sacrificio.
43Y dentro, ganchos de un palmo, dispuestos por todo alrededor; y sobre las mesas la carne de la ofrenda.
44Y fuera de la puerta interior, en el atrio de adentro que estaba al lado de la puerta del norte, estaban las cámaras de los cantores, las cuales miraban hacia el mediodía: una estaba al lado de la puerta del oriente que miraba hacia el norte.
45Y díjome: Esta cámara que mira hacia el mediodía es de los sacerdotes que tienen la guarda del templo.
46Y la cámara que mira hacia el norte es de los sacerdotes que tienen la guarda del altar: estos son los hijos de Sadoc, los cuales son llamados de los hijos de Leví al Señor, para ministrarle.
47Y midió el atrio, cien codos de longitud, y la anchura de cien codos cuadrados; y el altar estaba delante de la casa.
48Y llevóme al pórtico del templo, y midió cada poste del pórtico, cinco codos de una parte, y cinco codos de otra; y la anchura de la puerta tres codos de una parte, y tres codos de otra.
49La longitud del pórtico veinte codos, y la anchura once codos, al cual subían por gradas: y había columnas junto á los postes, una de un lado, y otra de otro.
King James Version
1In 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 the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
2In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
3And 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.
4And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.
7And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
8He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
10And the little chambers 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.
11And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
14He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
15And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
16And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, 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.
17Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
18And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.
19Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
20And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
21And the little chambers 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.
22And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
23And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
24After that he brought 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.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
28And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
29And the little chambers 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.
30And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
31And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.
32And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
33And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were 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.
34And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
35And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
36The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
37And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
38And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
39And 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.
40And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.
41Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.
42And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
43And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44And without the inner gate were the chambers of 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.
45And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
46And 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 among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
47So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
48And 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.
49The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me 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.
World English Bible
1In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, the LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.
2In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.
3He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
5Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
7Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
8He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
9Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
10The side rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
12and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the side rooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13He measured the gate from the roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
14He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
15From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
16There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.
17Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.
18The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
19Then he measured the width from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.
20He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces toward the north.
21The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
22Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces toward the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before them.
23There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.
24He led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements.
25There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
26There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
27There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate toward the south.
28Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate according to these measurements;
29with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.
30There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
31Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.
32He brought me into the inner court toward the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements;
33with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.
34Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
35He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements—
36its lodges, its posts, and its arches. There were windows in it all around. The length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.
37Its posts were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
38A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there.
39In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
40On the one side outside, as one goes 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.
41Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.
42There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.
43The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.
44Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced toward the south. One at the side of the east gate faced toward the north.
45He said to me, “This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house.
46The room which faces toward the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to him.”
47He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.
48Then 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. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
49The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
