Ezekiel 40:5-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. And look: a wall all around the outside of the House, and in the man’s hand a measuring rod six cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth. And he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod, and the height one rod.

6. Then he came to the gate facing east. And he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod wide, and the other threshold, one rod wide,

7. and the little room one rod long and one rod wide, and between the little rooms a space of five cubits. And the threshold of the gate inwards from the porch of the gate was one rod.

8. Then he measured the porch of the inside gate, one rod.

9. And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its posts two cubits. And the porch of the gate was on the inside.

10. And the little rooms of the east gate three on one side and three on the other, all three of the same size. And posts were of the same size on this side and that side.

11. And he measured the width of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate thirteen cubits.

12. And the border in front of the little rooms, one cubit on this side and one cubit on that side. And the gate room was six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.

13. And he measured the gate from the roof of one little room to the roof of the other, the width was twenty-five cubits, door to door.

14. And he measured the posts, sixty cubits high, even to the post of the courtyard all around the gate.

15. And from the front of the entrance gate to the front of the porch of the inner gate was fifty cubits.

16. And there were narrowed window frames in the little rooms and to their posts at the inside of the gate all around, and for the porches too. And there were windows all around on the inside. And on each post were palm trees.

17. And he brought me into the outer courtyard, and look, rooms and a pavement made all around the courtyard, thirty rooms on the pavement.

18. And the pavement was by the side of the gates, equal to the length of the gates – the lower pavement.

19. And he measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner courtyard on the outside, one hundred cubits toward the east and the north.

20. And the gate of the outer courtyard facing north he measured its length and its width.

21. And its little rooms, three on this side and three on that side, its posts and its porches, had the same measurements as the first gate, its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

22. And its windows and its porches, and its palm trees, had the same measurements as the gate facing east. And they went up to it by seven steps, and its porch was in front of it.

23. And the gate of the inner courtyard was opposite the northern gate, and at the eastern gate. And he measured from gate to gate, one hundred cubits.

24. And he took me toward the south, and look, a gate toward the south. And he measured its posts and porches according to these measurements.
