Bible. Ezekiel
42:8. For the length of the chambers of the outward court was fifty
cubits: and the length before the face of the temple, a hundred cubits.
42:9. And there was under these chambers, an entrance from the east, for
them that went into them out of the outward court.
42:10. In the breadth of the outward wall of the court that was toward
the east, over against the separate building, and there were chambers
before the building.
42:11. And the way before them was like the chambers which were toward
the north: they were as long as they, and as broad as they: and all the
going in to them, and their fashions, and their doors were alike.
42:12. According to the doors of the chambers that were towards the
south: there was a door in the head of the way, which way was before the
porch, separated towards the east as one entereth in.
42:13. And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of
the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy
chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into
the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the
offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place.
42:14. And when the priests shall have entered in, they shall not go out
of the holy places into the outward court: but there they shall lay
their vestments, wherein they minister, for they are holy: and they
shall put on other garments, and so they shall go forth to the people.
42:15. Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he
brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and
he measured it on every side round about.
42:16. And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed, five
hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
42:17. And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the
measuring reed round about.
42:18. And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds with the
measuring reed round about.
42:19. And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed.
42:20. By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every side
round about, five hundred cubits and five hundred cubits broad, making a
separation between the sanctuary and the place of the people.
Ezechiel Chapter 43
The glory of God returns to the new temple. The Israelites shall no more
profane God's name by idolatry: the prophet is commanded to shew them
the dimensions, and form of the temple, and of the altar, with the
sacrifices to be offered thereon.
43:1. And he brought me to the gate that looked towards the east.
43:2. And behold the glory of the God of Israel came in by the way of
the east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters, and the earth
shone with his majesty.
43:3. And I saw the vision according to the appearance which I had seen
when he came to destroy the city: and the appearance was according to
the vision which I had seen by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my
face.
