Hiezechielis Prophetæ 40
1 in vicesimo et quinto anno transmigrationis nostrae in exordio anni decima mensis quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini et adduxit me illuc
And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me
2 in visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israhel et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis super quem erat quasi aedificium civitatis vergentis ad austrum
in a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it [there was] as it were the frame of a city before [me].
3 et introduxit me illuc et ecce vir cuius erat species quasi species aeris et funiculus lineus in manu eius et calamus mensurae in manu eius stabat autem in porta
And he brought me in there, and, behold, [there was] a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder's line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at the gate.
4 et locutus est ad me idem vir fili hominis vide oculis tuis et auribus tuis audi et pone cor tuum in omnia quae ego ostendam tibi quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc adnuntia omnia quae tu vides domui Israhel
And the man said to me, Look with your eyes at him whom you have seen, son of man, and hear with your ears, and lay up in your heart all things that I show you; for you have come in hither that [I] might show you, and you shall show all things that you see to the house of Israel.
5 et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique et in manu viri calamus mensurae sex cubitorum et palmo et mensus est latitudinem aedificii calamo uno altitudinem quoque calamo uno
And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure [of it was] six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed.
