WEB·Ezekiel 40
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, Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.
KJVIn the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of our captivityH1546, in the beginningH7218 of the yearH8141, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 afterH310 that the cityH5892 was smittenH5221(H8717), in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and broughtH935(H8686) me thither.
2 In 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.
KJVIn the visionsH4759 of GodH430 broughtH935(H8689) he me into the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and setH5117(H8686) me upon a veryH3966 highH1364 mountainH2022, by which was as the frameH4011 of a cityH5892 on the southH5045.
3 He 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.
KJVAnd he broughtH935(H8686) me thither, and, behold, there was a manH376, whose appearanceH4758 was like the appearanceH4758 of brassH5178, with a lineH6616 of flaxH6593 in his handH3027, and a measuringH4060 reedH7070; and he stoodH5975(H8802) in the gateH8179.
4 The 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.”
KJVAnd the manH376 saidH1696(H8762) unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, beholdH7200(H8798) with thine eyesH5869, and hearH8085(H8798) with thine earsH241, and setH7760(H8798) thine heartH3820 upon all that I shall shewH7200(H8688) thee; for to the intentH4616 that I might shewH7200(H8687) them unto thee art thou broughtH935(H8717) hither: declareH5046(H8685) all that thou seestH7200(H8802) to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
5 Behold, 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.
KJVAnd behold a wallH2346 on the outsideH2351 of the houseH1004 round aboutH5439, and in the man'sH376 handH3027 a measuringH4060 reedH7070 of sixH8337 cubitsH520 long by the cubitH520 and an hand breadthH2948: so he measuredH4058(H8799) the breadthH7341 of the buildingH1146, oneH259 reedH7070; and the heightH6967, oneH259 reedH7070.
6 Then 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.
KJVThen cameH935(H8799) he unto the gateH8179 which lookethH6440 towardH1870 the eastH6921, and went upH5927(H8799) the stairsH4609 thereof, and measuredH4058(H8799) the thresholdH5592 of the gateH8179, which was oneH259 reedH7070 broadH7341; and the otherH259 thresholdH5592 of the gate, which was oneH259 reedH7070 broadH7341.
7 Every 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.
KJVAnd every little chamberH8372 was oneH259 reedH7070 longH753, and oneH259 reedH7070 broadH7341; and between the little chambersH8372 were fiveH2568 cubitsH520; and the thresholdH5592 of the gateH8179 byH681 the porchH197 of the gateH8179 withinH1004 was oneH259 reedH7070.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
KJVHe measuredH4058(H8799) also the porchH197 of the gateH8179 withinH1004, oneH259 reedH7070.
9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
KJVThen measuredH4058(H8799) he the porchH197 of the gateH8179, eightH8083 cubitsH520; and the postsH352 thereof, twoH8147 cubitsH520; and the porchH197 of the gateH8179 was inwardH1004.
10 The 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.
KJVAnd the little chambersH8372 of the gateH8179 eastwardH1870H6921 were threeH7969 on this sideH6311, and threeH7969 on that sideH6311; they threeH7969 were of oneH259 measureH4060: and the postsH352 had oneH259 measureH4060 on this side and on that side.
11 He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
KJVAnd he measuredH4058(H8799) the breadthH7341 of the entryH6607 of the gateH8179, tenH6235 cubitsH520; and the lengthH753 of the gateH8179, thirteenH7969H6240 cubitsH520.
12 and 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.
KJVThe spaceH1366 also beforeH6440 the little chambersH8372 was oneH259 cubitH520 on this side, and the spaceH1366 was one cubitH520 on that side: and the little chambersH8372 were sixH8337 cubitsH520 on this side, and sixH8337 cubitsH520 on that side.
13 He 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.
KJVHe measuredH4058(H8799) then the gateH8179 from the roofH1406 of one little chamberH8372 to the roofH1406 of another: the breadthH7341 was fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 cubitsH520, doorH6607 against doorH6607.
14 He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
KJVHe madeH6213(H8799) also postsH352 of threescoreH8346 cubitsH520, even unto the postH352 of the courtH2691 round aboutH5439 the gateH8179.
15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
KJVAnd from the faceH6440 of the gateH8179 of the entranceH2978 unto the faceH6440 of the porchH197 of the innerH6442 gateH8179 were fiftyH2572 cubitsH520.
16 There 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.
KJVAnd there were narrowH331(H8801) windowsH2474 to the little chambersH8372, and to their postsH352 withinH6441 the gateH8179 round aboutH5439, and likewise to the archesH361: and windowsH2474 were round aboutH5439 inwardH6441: and upon each postH352 were palm treesH8561.
17 Then 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.
KJVThen broughtH935(H8686) he me into the outwardH2435 courtH2691, and, lo, there were chambersH3957, and a pavementH7531 madeH6213(H8803) for the courtH2691 round aboutH5439: thirtyH7970 chambersH3957 were upon the pavementH7531.
18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
KJVAnd the pavementH7531 by the sideH3802 of the gatesH8179 over againstH5980 the lengthH753 of the gatesH8179 was the lowerH8481 pavementH7531.
19 Then 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.
KJVThen he measuredH4058(H8799) the breadthH7341 from the forefrontH6440 of the lowerH8481 gateH8179 unto the forefrontH6440 of the innerH6442 courtH2691 withoutH2351, an hundredH3967 cubitsH520 eastwardH6921 and northwardH6828.

KJVAnd the little chambersH8372 thereof were threeH7969 on this side and threeH7969 on that side; and the postsH352 thereof and the archesH361 thereof were after the measureH4060 of the firstH7223 gateH8179: the lengthH753 thereof was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 cubitsH520.
22 Its 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.
KJVAnd their windowsH2474, and their archesH361, and their palm treesH8561, were after the measureH4060 of the gateH8179 that lookethH6440 towardH1870 the eastH6921; and they went upH5927(H8799) unto it by sevenH7651 stepsH4609; and the archesH361 thereof were beforeH6440 them.
