The New Temple
40 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been captured,(A) on that very day the Lord’s hand was on me,(B) and He brought me there. 2 In visions of God(C) He took me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain.(D) On its southern slope was a structure resembling a city. 3 He brought me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze,(E) with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.(F) He was standing by the gate. 4 He spoke to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, listen with your ears,(G) and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for you have been brought here so that I might show it to you. Report everything you see to the house of Israel.”(H)
The Wall and Outer Gates
5 Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple.(I) The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of 21 inches;[a] each unit was the standard length plus three inches.[b] He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was about 10 feet,[c] and its height was the same.[d] 6 Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps.(J) He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 10 feet deep—the first threshold was 10 feet deep. 7 Each recess was about 10 feet[e] long and 10 feet[f] deep, and there was a space of 8¾ feet[g] between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was about 10 feet.[h] 8 Next he measured the portico of the gate; 9 it[i] was 14 feet,[j] and its pilasters were 3½ feet.[k] The portico of the gate was on the temple side.
10 There were three recesses on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the pilasters on either side also had the same measurements. 11 Then he measured the width of the gate’s entrance; it was 17½ feet,[l] while the width[m] of the gateway was 22¾ feet.[n] 12 There was a barrier of 21 inches[o] in front of the recesses on both sides, and the recesses on each side were 10½ feet[p] square. 13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one recess to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was 43¾ feet.[q] The openings of the recesses faced each other. 14 Next, he measured the pilasters—105 feet.[r] The gate extended around to the pilaster of the court.[s] 15 The distance from the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the gate’s portico on the inside was 87½ feet.[t] 16 The recesses and their pilasters had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway.(K) The porticoes also had windows all around on the inside. Each pilaster was decorated with palm trees.(L)
17 Then he brought me into the outer court,(M) and there were chambers and a paved surface laid out all around the court.(N) Thirty chambers faced the pavement, 18 which flanked the gates and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court; it was 175 feet.[u] This was the east; next the north is described.
20 He measured the gate of the outer court facing north, both its length and width. 21 Its three recesses on each side, its pilasters, and its portico had the same measurements as the first gate: 87½ feet[v] long and 43¾ feet[w] wide. 22 Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate that faced east. Seven steps led up to the gate, and its portico was ahead of them. 23 The inner court had a gate facing the north gate, like the one on the east. He measured the distance from gate to gate; it was 175 feet.[x]
24 He brought me to the south side, and there was also a gate on the south. He measured its pilasters and portico; they had the same measurements as the others. 25 Both the gate and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was 87½ feet[y] long and 43¾ feet[z] wide. 26 Its stairway had seven steps, and its portico was ahead of them. It had palm trees on its pilasters, one on each side. 27 The inner court had a gate on the south. He measured from gate to gate on the south; it was 175 feet.[aa]
The Inner Gates
28 Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate. When he measured the south gate, it had the same measurements as the others. 29 Its recesses, pilasters, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both it and its portico had windows all around. It was 87½ feet[ab] long and 43¾ feet[ac] wide. 30 (There were porticoes all around, 43¾ feet long and 8¾ feet[ad] wide.[ae]) 31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its pilasters were decorated with palm trees. Its stairway had eight steps.
32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. When he measured the gate, it had the same measurements as the others. 33 Its recesses, pilasters, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both it and its portico had windows all around. It was 87½ feet[af] long and 43¾ feet[ag] wide. 34 Its portico faced the outer court, and its pilasters were decorated with palm trees on each side. Its stairway had eight steps.
35 Then he brought me to the north gate.(O) When he measured it, it had the same measurements as the others, 36 as did its recesses, pilasters, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was 87½ feet[ah] long and 43¾ feet[ai] wide. 37 Its portico[aj] faced the outer court, and its pilasters were decorated with palm trees on each side. Its stairway had eight steps.
Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices
38 There was a chamber whose door opened into the portico of the gate.[ak] The burnt offering was to be washed there.(P) 39 Inside the portico of the gate there were two tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, sin offering,(Q) and restitution offering.(R) 40 Outside, as one approaches the entrance of the north gate, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico. 41 So there were four tables inside the gate and four outside, eight tables in all on which the slaughtering was to be done. 42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering,(S) each 31½ inches[al] long, 31½ inches wide, and 21 inches[am] high. The utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices were placed on them. 43 There were three-inch[an] hooks[ao] fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be laid on the tables.
Rooms for Singers and Priests
44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, there were chambers for the singers:[ap](T) one[aq] beside the north gate, facing south, and another beside the south[ar] gate, facing north. 45 Then the man said to me: “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple.(U) 46 The chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok,(V) the ones from the sons of Levi who may approach the Lord to serve Him.”(W) 47 Next he measured the court. It was square, 175 feet[as] long and 175 feet wide. The altar(X) was in front of the temple.
48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the pilasters of the portico; they were 8¾ feet[at] thick on each side. The width of the gateway was 24½ feet,[au] and the side walls of the gate were[av] 5¼ feet[aw] wide on each side. 49 The portico was 35 feet[ax] across and 21[ay] feet[az] deep, and 10 steps led[ba] up to it.(Y) There were pillars by the pilasters, one on each side.(Z)

Pangitain tungkol sa Bahay
40 Nang ikadalawampu't limang taon ng aming pagkabihag, nang pasimula ng taon, nang ikasampung araw ng buwan, nang ikalabing-apat na taon pagkatapos na ang bayan ay masakop, nang araw na iyon, ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumaakin.
2 Sa(A) mga pangitaing mula sa Diyos ay dinala niya ako sa lupain ng Israel, at pinaupo ako sa isang napakataas na bundok, na kinaroroonan ng parang isang lunsod sa timog.
3 Nang kanyang(B) madala ako roon, mayroong isang lalaki na ang anyo ay nagliliwanag na parang tanso, na may pising lino at isang panukat na tambo sa kanyang kamay at siya'y nakatayo sa pintuang-daan.
4 At sinabi ng lalaki sa akin, “Anak ng tao, tingnan mo ng iyong mga mata, pakinggan mo ng iyong mga pandinig, at ilagak mo ang iyong isipan sa lahat ng aking ipapakita sa iyo; sapagkat ikaw ay dinala rito upang aking maipakita ito sa iyo. Ipahayag mo ang lahat ng iyong nakita sa sambahayan ni Israel.”
Ang Tarangkahan sa Gawing Silangan
5 At(C) narito, may pader sa palibot sa dakong labas ng lugar ng bahay, at ang haba ng panukat na tambo sa kamay ng tao ay anim na siko, na tig-isang siko at isang dangkal ang luwang ng bawat isa. Kaya't kanyang sinukat ang kapal ng pader, isang tambo; at ang taas, isang tambo.
6 Pumasok siya sa pintuang-daan na nakaharap sa silangan, sa mga baytang niyon at kanyang sinukat ang pasukan ng pintuan, isang tambo ang luwang; ang kabilang pasukan ay isang tambo ang luwang.
7 Ang mga silid ng bantay ay isang tambo ang haba, at isang tambo ang luwang; at ang pagitan ng mga silid ng bantay ay limang siko; at ang pasukan ng pintuan sa tabi ng patyo ng pintuan sa pinakadulo ng daanan ay isang tambo.
8 Kanya rin namang sinukat ang bulwagan sa pintuang-daan, walong siko.
9 At ang mga haligi niyon, dalawang siko; at ang bulwagan sa pintuang-daan ay nasa pinakadulo ng daanan.
10 Mayroong tatlong silid ng bantay sa magkabilang dako ng pintuan sa silangan; ang tatlo ay iisang sukat; at ang mga haligi sa magkabilang panig ay iisang sukat.
11 Kanyang sinukat ang luwang ng pasukan ng pintuang-daan, sampung siko; at ang haba ng pintuang-daan, labintatlong siko.
12 May harang sa harapan ng mga silid ng bantay, isang siko sa magkabilang panig. Ang mga silid ng bantay ay anim na siko sa magkabilang panig.
13 At kanyang sinukat ang pintuang-daan mula sa likuran ng isang silid ng bantay hanggang sa likuran ng kabila, may luwang na dalawampu't limang siko, mula sa pintuan hanggang sa isa pang pintuan.
14 Sinukat din niya ang bulwagan, dalawampung siko; at sa paligid ng bulwagan ng pintuang-daan ay ang patyo.
15 Mula sa harapan ng pintuan sa pasukan hanggang sa dulo ng pinakaloob na bulwagan ng pintuan ay limampung siko.
16 May mga bintana sa palibot ang mga pintuang-daan na papaliit sa mga pintuan sa gilid. Ang bulwagan ay mayroon ding mga bintana sa palibot at sa mga haligi ay may puno ng palma.
Ang Bulwagan sa Labas
17 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa labas ng bulwagan, at narito, may mga silid at may batong daanan sa palibot ng bulwagan; tatlumpung silid ang nakaharap sa nalalatagan ng bato.
18 At ang nalalatagan ng bato ay hanggang sa gilid ng mga pintuan, ayon sa haba ng mga pintuan; ito ang mas mababang nalalatagan ng bato.
19 Nang magkagayo'y kanyang sinukat ang pagitan mula sa harapan ng mas mababang pintuan hanggang sa harapan ng pinakaloob na bulwagan sa labas, isandaang siko, kahit sa silangan o kahit sa kanluran.
Ang Tarangkahan sa Gawing Hilaga
20 At siya'y umuna sa akin patungo sa hilaga, at may pintuang nakaharap sa hilaga na kabilang sa panlabas na bulwagan. Sinukat niya ang haba at luwang niyon.
21 Ang mga silid niyon sa gilid ay tatlo sa bawat panig, at ang mga haligi at mga patyo ay ayon sa sukat ng unang pintuan. Ang haba niyon ay limampung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawampu't limang siko.
22 Ang mga bintana at bulwagan niyon, at ang mga puno ng palma niyon ay ayon sa sukat ng pintuang-daan na nakaharap sa silangan. Pitong baytang ang paakyat doon at ang bulwagan niyon ay nasa loob.
23 At sa tapat ng pintuan sa gawing hilaga, gaya ng sa silangan, ay may pintuan sa pinakaloob na bulwagan. Kanya itong sinukat mula sa pintuan hanggang sa pintuan, isandaang siko.
Ang Tarangkahan sa Gawing Timog
24 Dinala niya ako patungo sa timog, at may isang pintuan sa timog; at kanyang sinukat ang mga haligi niyon at ang bulwagan niyon. Ang sukat ng mga iyon ay gaya rin ng iba.
25 May mga bintana sa palibot nito at sa bulwagan, gaya ng mga bintana ng iba. Ang haba nito ay limampung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawampu't limang siko.
26 At may pitong baytang paakyat doon, at ang bulwagan niyon ay nasa loob, at may mga puno ng palma sa mga haligi niyon, isa sa bawat panig.
27 May pintuan sa looban sa dakong timog; at kanyang sinukat mula sa pintuan hanggang sa pintuan sa dakong timog, isandaang siko.
Ang Patyo sa Loob: Ang Tarangkahan sa Timog
28 Dinala niya ako sa pinakaloob na bulwagan sa tabi ng pintuan sa timog, at kanyang sinukat ang pintuan sa timog; ang sukat nito ay gaya ng iba.
29 Ang mga silid ng bantay, ang mga haligi at ang bulwagan ay kasukat ng iba. May mga bintana sa palibot niyon at sa bulwagan. Ang haba nito ay may limampung siko at dalawampu't limang siko ang luwang.
30 May mga bulwagan sa palibot, na dalawampu't limang siko ang haba at limang siko ang luwang.
31 Ang mga bulwagan niyon ay nakaharap sa panlabas na patyo at may mga puno ng palma sa mga haligi niyon, at ang hagdan nito ay may walong baytang.
Ang Patyo sa Loob: Ang Tarangkahan sa Silangan
32 Dinala niya ako sa panloob na patyo sa dakong silangan, at sinukat niya ang pintuan—iyon ay kagaya ng sukat ng iba.
33 Ang mga silid ng bantay, ang mga haligi niyon, at ang mga bulwagan niyon ay kagaya ng sukat ng iba; at may mga bintana sa palibot at sa mga bulwagan niyon. Limampung siko ang haba at dalawampu't limang siko ang luwang niyon.
34 Ang mga bulwagan ay nakaharap sa panlabas na patyo at may mga puno ng palma sa mga haligi niyon, isa sa bawat panig. Ang hagdan nito ay may walong baytang.
Ang Patyo sa Loob: Ang Tarangkahan sa Hilaga
35 At dinala niya ako sa pintuang-daan sa hilaga, at sinukat niya iyon. Ang sukat nito ay gaya rin ng sa iba.
36 Ang mga silid ng bantay nito, ang mga haligi niyon at mga bulwagan niyon ay may sukat na gaya rin ng iba at may mga bintana sa palibot. Ang haba nito ay limampung siko at ang luwang ay dalawampu't limang siko.
37 Ang mga bulwagan niyon ay nakaharap sa panlabas na patyo at may mga puno ng palma sa mga haligi niyon, isa sa bawat panig. Ang hagdan nito ay may walong baytang.
Ang mga Gusali sa Tabi ng Tarangkahan sa Hilaga
38 May isang silid na ang pintuan ay nasa bulwagan ng pintuan, na doon huhugasan ang handog na sinusunog.
39 Sa bulwagan ng pintuan ay may dalawang mesa sa magkabilang panig, na doon kakatayin ang handog na sinusunog at ang handog pangkasalanan at ang handog para sa budhing nagkasala.
40 Sa labas ng bulwagan sa pasukan ng pintuan sa dakong hilaga ay may dalawang mesa; at sa kabilang dako ng bulwagan ng pintuan ay may dalawang mesa.
41 Apat na mesa ang nasa magkabilang dako sa tabi ng pintuan; o walong mesa ang kanilang pinagkakatayan ng mga handog.
42 Mayroon ding apat na mesa na batong tinabas para sa handog na sinusunog, na isang siko at kalahati ang haba, at isang siko at kalahati ang luwang, at isang siko ang taas; na kanilang pinaglagyan ng mga kasangkapan na kanilang ginagamit sa pagkatay sa handog na sinusunog at sa mga alay.
43 Ang mga kawit na isang lapad ng kamay ang haba ang nakakabit sa loob sa palibot. At sa ibabaw ng mga mesa ay ilalagay ang laman ng handog.
44 Dinala niya ako mula sa labas patungo sa panloob na patyo. May dalawang silid sa panloob na patyo. Ang isa ay nasa tabi ng pintuang nakaharap sa timog at ang isa ay sa tabi ng pintuan sa silangan na nakaharap sa hilaga.
45 Kanyang sinabi sa akin, Ang silid na ito na nakaharap sa timog ay sa mga pari na namamahala sa templo,
46 ang silid na nakaharap sa hilaga ay para sa mga pari na namamahala sa dambana. Ang mga ito ay mga anak ni Zadok, na sa mga anak ni Levi ay sila lamang ang makakalapit sa Panginoon upang maglingkod sa kanya.
47 Sinukat niya ang bulwagan; ito'y isandaang siko ang haba, at isandaang siko ang luwang, parisukat; at ang dambana ay nasa harapan ng templo.
Ang Bulwagan sa Loob at ang Bahay
48 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa bulwagan ng bahay at sinukat niya ang haligi ng bulwagan. Ito'y limang siko sa magkabilang panig. Ang luwang ng pintuan ay labing-apat na siko. Ang tagilirang pader ng pintuan ay tatlong siko sa magkabilang panig.
49 Ang haba ng bulwagan ay dalawampung siko, at ang luwang ay labing-isang siko, at ang hagdanan ay paakyat dito. Mayroon ding mga tukod sa tabi ng mga haligi sa magkabilang panig.

The Temple Area Restored
40 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city(A)—on that very day the hand of the Lord was on me(B) and he took me there. 2 In visions(C) of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain,(D) on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. 3 He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze;(E) he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod(F) in his hand. 4 The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you,(G) for that is why you have been brought here. Tell(H) the people of Israel everything you see.(I)”
The East Gate to the Outer Court
5 I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits,[a] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured(J) the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.
6 Then he went to the east gate.(K) He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep. 7 The alcoves(L) for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits[b] thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.
8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway; 9 it[c] was eight cubits[d] deep and its jambs were two cubits[e] thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 Inside the east gate were three alcoves on each side; the three had the same measurements, and the faces of the projecting walls on each side had the same measurements. 11 Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.[f] 12 In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square. 13 Then he measured the gateway from the top of the rear wall of one alcove to the top of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits[g] from one parapet opening to the opposite one. 14 He measured along the faces of the projecting walls all around the inside of the gateway—sixty cubits.[h] The measurement was up to the portico[i] facing the courtyard.[j](M) 15 The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.[k] 16 The alcoves and the projecting walls inside the gateway were surmounted by narrow parapet openings all around, as was the portico; the openings all around faced inward. The faces of the projecting walls were decorated with palm trees.(N)
The Outer Court
17 Then he brought me into the outer court.(O) There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms(P) along the pavement.(Q) 18 It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court;(R) it was a hundred cubits[l](S) on the east side as well as on the north.
The North Gate
20 Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court. 21 Its alcoves(T)—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico(U) had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 22 Its openings, its portico(V) and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.(W) 23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.(X)
The South Gate
24 Then he led me to the south side and I saw the south gate. He measured its jambs and its portico, and they had the same measurements(Y) as the others. 25 The gateway and its portico had narrow openings all around, like the openings of the others. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.(Z) 26 Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them; it had palm tree decorations on the faces of the projecting walls on each side.(AA) 27 The inner court(AB) also had a gate facing south, and he measured from this gate to the outer gate on the south side; it was a hundred cubits.(AC)
The Gates to the Inner Court
28 Then he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements(AD) as the others. 29 Its alcoves,(AE) its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.(AF) 30 (The porticoes(AG) of the gateways around the inner court were twenty-five cubits wide and five cubits deep.) 31 Its portico(AH) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.(AI)
32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements(AJ) as the others. 33 Its alcoves,(AK) its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 34 Its portico(AL) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.
35 Then he brought me to the north gate(AM) and measured it. It had the same measurements(AN) as the others, 36 as did its alcoves,(AO) its projecting walls and its portico, and it had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 37 Its portico[m](AP) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.(AQ)
The Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices
38 A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings(AR) were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings,(AS) sin offerings[n](AT) and guilt offerings(AU) were slaughtered.(AV) 40 By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of dressed stone(AW) for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[o] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.(AX) 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[p] long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.
The Rooms for the Priests
44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one[q] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south[r] gate and facing north. 45 He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,(AY) 46 and the room facing north(AZ) is for the priests who guard the altar.(BA) These are the sons of Zadok,(BB) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.(BC)”
47 Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.(BD)
The New Temple
48 He brought me to the portico of the temple(BE) and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits[s] and its projecting walls were[t] three cubits[u] wide on either side. 49 The portico(BF) was twenty cubits[v] wide, and twelve[w] cubits[x] from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs,[y] and there were pillars(BG) on each side of the jambs.

40 En el año veinticinco de nuestro cautiverio, al principio del año, a los diez del mes, a los catorce años después que la ciudad fue herida, en aquel mismo día fue sobre mí la mano del SEÑOR, y me llevó allá.
2 En visiones de Dios me llevó a la tierra de Israel, y me puso sobre un monte muy alto, sobre el cual había como edificio de una ciudad al mediodía.
3 Y me llevó allí, y he aquí un varón, cuyo aspecto era como aspecto de bronce, y tenía un cordel de lino en su mano, y una caña de medir; y él estaba a la puerta.
4 Y me habló aquel varón, diciendo: Hijo de hombre, mira con tus ojos, y oye con tus oídos, y pon tu corazón a todas las cosas que te muestro; porque para que yo te las mostrara eres traído aquí. Cuenta todo lo que ves a la Casa de Israel.
5 Y 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 a codo y palmo; y midió la anchura del edificio de una caña, y la altura, de otra caña.
6 Después vino a la puerta que daba cara hacia el oriente, y subió por sus gradas, y midió él un poste de la puerta, de una caña en anchura, y el otro poste, de otra caña en ancho.
7 Y cada cámara tenía una caña de largo, y una caña de ancho; y entre las cámaras dejó cinco codos en ancho; y cada poste de la puerta junto a la entrada de la puerta por dentro, una caña.
8 Midió asimismo la entrada de la puerta por dentro, de una caña.
9 Midió luego la entrada del portal, de ocho codos, y sus postes de dos codos; y la entrada del portal por dentro.
10 Y la puerta hacia el oriente tenía tres cámaras de cada lado, todas tres de una medida; también de una medida los portales de cada lado.
11 Y midió la anchura de la entrada de la puerta, de diez codos; la longitud del portal de trece codos.
12 Y el espacio de delante de las cámaras, de un codo de una parte, y de otro codo la otra; y cada cámara tenía seis codos de una parte, y seis codos de otra.
13 Y midió la puerta desde el techo de una cámara hasta el techo de la otra, veinticinco codos de anchura, puerta contra puerta.
14 E hizo los portales de sesenta codos, cada portal del atrio y del portal por todo alrededor.
15 Y desde la delantera de la puerta de la entrada hasta la delantera de la entrada de la puerta de dentro, cincuenta codos.
16 Y había ventanas estrechas en las cámaras, y en sus portales por dentro de la puerta alrededor, y asimismo en los arcos; y las ventanas estaban alrededor por dentro; y en cada poste había palmas.
17 Me llevó luego al atrio exterior, y he aquí, cámaras, y revestimiento del piso hecho al atrio todo en derredor; treinta cámaras había en aquel atrio.
18 Y estaba enlosado al lado de las puertas, en proporción a la longitud de los portales, era el enlosado más bajo.
19 Y midió la anchura desde la delantera de la puerta de abajo hasta la delantera del atrio interior por fuera, de cien codos hacia el oriente y el norte.
20 Y de la puerta que estaba hacia el norte en el atrio exterior, midió su longitud y su anchura.
21 Y 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.
22 Y sus ventanas, y sus arcos, y sus palmas, eran conforme a la medida de la puerta que estaba hacia el oriente; y subían a ella por siete gradas; y delante de ellas estaban sus arcos.
23 Y la puerta del atrio interior estaba enfrente de la otra puerta al norte, y al oriente; y midió de puerta a puerta cien codos.
24 Me llevó después hacia el mediodía, y he aquí una puerta hacia el mediodía; y midió sus portales y sus arcos conforme a estas medidas dichas.
25 Y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor, como las ventanas ya dichas; la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinticinco codos.
26 Y 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.
27 Y tal era la puerta hacia el mediodía del atrio interior; y midió de puerta a puerta hacia el mediodía cien codos.
28 Me metió después en el atrio de más adentro a la puerta del mediodía, y midió la puerta del mediodía conforme a estas medidas dichas.
29 Y sus cámaras, y sus postes y sus arcos, eran conforme a estas medidas dichas; y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor; la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y de veinticinco codos la anchura.
30 Y tenía arcos alrededor de veinticinco codos de largo, y cinco codos de ancho.
31 Y sus arcos caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en cada uno de sus postes; y sus gradas eran de ocho escalones.
32 Y me llevó al atrio interior hacia el oriente, y midió la puerta conforme a estas medidas dichas.
33 Y eran sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, conforme a estas medidas dichas; y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor; la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinticinco codos.
34 Y sus arcos caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en cada uno de sus postes de una parte y otra; y sus gradas eran de ocho escalones.
35 Me llevó luego a la puerta del norte, y midió conforme a estas medidas dichas;
36 sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, y sus ventanas alrededor; la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y de veinticinco codos el ancho.
37 Y sus postes caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en cada uno de sus postes de una parte y otra; y sus gradas eran de ocho peldaños.
38 Y había allí una cámara, y su puerta con postes de portales; allí lavarán el holocausto.
39 Y en la entrada de la puerta había dos mesas de una parte, y otras dos de la otra, para degollar sobre ellas el holocausto, y el pecado, y la culpa.
40 Y al lado por fuera de las gradas, a la entrada de la puerta del norte, había dos mesas; y al otro lado que estaba a la entrada de la puerta, otras dos mesas.
41 Cuatro mesas de una parte, y otras cuatro mesas de la otra parte había a cada lado de esta puerta; ocho mesas, sobre las cuales degollarán.
42 Y 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.
43 Y dentro, ganchos de un palmo, dispuestos por todo alrededor; y sobre las mesas la carne de la ofrenda.
44 Y 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.
45 Y me dijo: Esta cámara que mira hacia el mediodía será de los sacerdotes que tienen la guarda de la Casa.
46 Y la cámara que mira hacia el norte será de los sacerdotes que tienen la guarda del altar; éstos son los hijos de Sadoc, los cuales son llamados de los hijos de Leví para ministrarle al Señor.
47 Y midió el atrio, cien codos de longitud, y la anchura de cien codos cuadrados; y el altar delante de la Casa.
48 Y me llevó a la entrada de la Casa, y midió cada poste de la entrada, cinco codos de una parte, y cinco codos de la otra; y la anchura de la puerta tres codos de una parte, y tres codos de la otra.
49 La longitud de la portada, veinte codos, y la anchura once codos, al cual subían por gradas; y había columnas junto a los postes, una de un lado, y otra de otro.

40 In 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.
2 In 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.
3 And 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.
4 And 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.
5 And 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.
6 Then 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.
7 And 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.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
10 And 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.
11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 The 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.
13 He 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.
14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
16 And 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.
17 Then 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.
18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.
19 Then 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.
20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
21 And 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.
22 And 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.
23 And 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.
24 After 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.
25 And 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.
26 And 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.
27 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
29 And 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.
30 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
31 And 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.
32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
33 And 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.
34 And 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.
35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
36 The 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.
37 And 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.
38 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
39 And 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.
40 And 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.
41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.
42 And 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.
43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44 And 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.
45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
46 And 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.
47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
48 And 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.
49 The 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.
