way of the gate which looked toward the east, and he measured the pattern of the
house all around in order. 16 He stood behind the gate which looked toward the east,
and he measured five hundred with the measuring reed. 17 He turned to the north and
measured the area in front of the north as five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.
18 He turned to the sea and measured the area in front of the sea as five hundred with
the measuring reed. 19 He turned to the south and measured opposite the south as five
hundred with the measuring reed. 20 The four parts were by the same reed. He set it in
order, as well as their enclosure all around, as five hundred toward the east. There was
a breadth of five hundred cubits to distinguish between the holy places and the
fortification which was in the order of the house.
Ezekiel 43
1 He brought me to the gate which looked toward the east, and he brought me out.
2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came by the way of the gate which looked to the
east; there was a sound of a camp, like the sound of many doubling up, and the earth
shone like light from the glory all around. 3 The vision which I saw was like the vision
which I saw when I went in to anoint the city; the vision of the chariot which I saw was
like the vision which I saw at the River Chebar. I fell on my face. 4 The glory of the Lord
entered the house by the way of the gate which looked toward the east. 5 The Spirit
took me up and brought me into the inner courtyard; behold, the house was full of the
glory of the Lord.
6 I stood, and behold, there was a voice out of the house of one speaking to me, and
a man stood next to me. 7 He said to me, "Son of man, you have seen the place of my
throne and the place of the soles of my feet, in which my name will pitch its tent in the
midst of the house of Israel forever. The house of Israel, they and their governors, will
no longer profane my holy name by their prostitution and by the murders of their
governors in their midst, 8 when they place my threshold by their threshold and my
doorjambs next to their doorjambs. They gave my wall as if it joined me and them, and
they profaned my holy name with their lawless act which they performed. I wiped them
out with my fury and with murder. 9 Now let them put away from me their prostitution
and the murders of their governors, and I will pitch my tent in their midst forever.
10 You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, its visions and its
arrangement, and they will grow weary of their sins. 11 They will receive their
punishment concerning everything which they did. You will describe the house, its
preparation, its exits, its entrances, A its substance, all its ordinances, and all its
regulations; you will make them known to them and describe them before them. They
will preserve all my righteous decrees and all my ordinances, and they will perform
them, 12 as well as the description of the house on the summit of the mountain. All its
borders all around will be a holy of holies. This is the law of the house. B
13 These are the measures of the altar, by the cubit of a cubit and a span. The bulge:
