40:3. And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate. 40:4. And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel. 40:5. And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed. 40:6. And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad; 40:7. And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad: and between the little chambers were five cubits: 40:8. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed. 40:9. And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward. 40:10. And the little chambers of the gate that looked eastward were three on this side, and three on that side: all three were of one measure, and the fronts of one measure, on both parts. 40:11. And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate thirteen cubits: 40:12. And the border before the little chambers one cubit: and one cubit was the border on both sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side. 40:13. And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door. 40:14. He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about. 40:15. And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits. 40:16. And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like manner there were also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees. 40:17. And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement. There were chambers... Gazophylacia, so called, because the priests and Levites kept in them the stores and vessels that belonged to the temple. 40:18. And the pavement in the front of the gates according to the length of the gates was lower. 40:19. And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits to the east, and to the north.
