1 aIn the twenty-fifth year bof our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, cin the fourteenth year after the city was struck down, on that very day, dthe hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me to the city. ▼▼Hebrew brought me there
2In fvisions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and set me down on ga very high mountain, on which was a structure like a city to the south. 3When he brought me there, behold, there was ha man whose appearance was ilike bronze, with ja linen cord and ka measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway. 4And the man said to me, l“Son of man, mlook with your eyes, and nhear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. oDeclare all that you see to the house of Israel.” The East Gate to the Outer Court
5And behold, there was pa wall all around the outside of the temple area, and the length of the measuring reed in the man’s hand was six long cubits, qeach being a cubit and a handbreadth ▼ in length. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed. 6Then he went into sthe gateway facing east, tgoing up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep. ▼▼Hebrew deep, and one threshold, one reed deep
7And vthe side rooms, one reed long and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed. 8Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed. 9Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; wand its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end. 10And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate. xThe three were of the same size, and the jambs on either side were of the same size. 11Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits. 12There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side.
