Ezekiel 40

1 In the five and twentieth year of our exile, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city had been smitten, on the selfsame day came the inspiration of the Lord upon me, and brought me thither.

In twenty and five year of exile our at [the] beginning of the year on the ten of the month in four-teen year after that it was struck down the city on [the] substance of - the day this it was on me [the] hand of Yahweh and he brought me there towards.

2 In the visions of God brought he me unto the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mount, on which there was built something like a city on the south.

In visions of God he brought me to [the] land of Israel and he set down me to a mountain high very and [was] on it like [the] structure of a city from [the] south.

3 And when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of copper, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring-rod: and he was standing in the gate.

And he brought me there towards and there! a man appearance his [was] like [the] appearance of bronze and a cord of linen [was] in hand his and [the] reed of measurement and he [was] standing in the gate.

4 And the man spoke unto me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and direct thy heart unto all that I am about to show thee; for in order to show it unto thee art thou brought hither: tell all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

And he spoke to me the man O son of humankind see with eyes your and with ears your hear and set heart your to all that I [am] about to show you for so as to show you you have been brought hither tell all that you [are] about to see to [the] house of Israel.

5 And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the man's hand was a measuring-rod of six cubits long by the cubit which was a hand's breadth longer than usual; and he measured the breadth of the building, one rod, and the height, one rod.

And there! a wall [was] from [the] outside of the house all around - all around and in [the] hand of the man [the] reed of the measurement [was] six cubits by the cubit and a hand breadth and he measured [the] breadth of the structure a reed one and [the] height a reed one.

6 Then came he unto the gate which looked in the direction toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in breadth, and the other threshold one rod in breadth.

And he went to [the] gate which face its [was] [the] direction the east towards and he went up (on steps its *Q(K)*) and he measured - [the] threshold of the gate a reed one breadth and [the] threshold one a reed one breadth.

7 And every cell was one rod long, and one rod broad; and between the cells were five cubits: and the threshold of the gate near by the porch of the gate within was one rod.

And the chamber a reed one length and a reed one breadth and between the chambers five cubits and [the] threshold of the gate from beside [the] porch of the gate from the inside a reed one.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one rod.

And he measured [the] porch of the gate from the inside a reed one.

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its door-posts, two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.

And he measured [the] porch of the gate eight cubits (and pillars its *Q(K)*) two cubits and [the] porch of the gate [was] from the inside.

10 And the cells of the gate in the eastern direction were three on this side, and three on that side, one measure was for all the three; and there was one measure for the door-posts on this side and on that side.

And [the] chambers of the gate [the] direction of the east three from here and three from here a measurement one [belonged] to [the] three of them and a measurement one [belonged] to the pillars from here and from here.

11 And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

And he measured [the] breadth of [the] entrance of the gate ten cubits [the] length of the gate thir-teen cubits.

12 And there was a space before the cells of one cubit on this side, and one cubit space was there on that side: and every cell was of six cubits on this side, and of six cubits on that side.

And a barrier before the chambers [was] a cubit one and [was] a cubit one a barrier from here and the chamber [was] six cubits from here and six cubits from here.

13 And he measured the gate from the roof of [one] cell to the roof of [another], in breadth five and twenty cubits, one door being against [the other] door.

And he measured the gate from [the] roof of the chamber to roof its breadth twenty and five cubits entrance before entrance.
