 40:1 ¶ In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither.

 40:1 ¶ In the fiveº and twentiethº yearº of our captivity,º in the beginningº of the year,º in the tenthº [day] of the month,º in the fourteenthºº yearº afterº thatº the cityº was smitten,ºº in the selfsameºº dayº the handº of the LORDº wasº uponº me, and broughtºº me thither.º

 40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

 40:2 In the visionsº of Godº broughtºº he me intoº the landº of Israel,º and setºº me uponº a veryº highº mountain,º byº which [was] as the frameº of a cityº on the south.ºº

 40:3 And he brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

 40:3 And he broughtºº me thither,º and, behold,º [there was] a man,º whose appearanceº [was] like the appearanceº of brass,º with a lineº of flaxº in his hand,º and a measuringº reed;º and heº stoodºº in the gate.º

 40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

 40:4 And the manº saidºº untoº me, Sonº of man,º beholdºº with thine eyes,º and hearºº with thine ears,º and setºº thine heartº upon allº thatº Iº shall shewºº thee; forº to the intentº thatº I might shewºº [them] unto thee [art] thou broughtºº hither:º declareººº allº thatº thouº seestºº to the houseº of Israel.º

 40:5 And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

 40:5 And beholdº a wallº on the outsideºº of the houseº round about,º and in the man'sº handº a measuringº reedº of sixº cubitsº [long] by the cubitº and an hand breadth:º so he measuredººº the breadthº of the building,º oneº reed;º and the height,º oneº reed.º

 40:6 ¶ Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.

 40:6 ¶ Then cameºº he untoº the gateº whichº lookethº towardº the east,º and went upºº the stairsº thereof, and measuredººº the thresholdº of the gate,º [which was] oneº reedº broad;º and the otherº thresholdº [of the gate, which was] oneº reedº broad.º

 40:7 And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

 40:7 And [every] little chamberº [was] oneº reedº long,º and oneº reedº broad;º and betweenº the little chambersº [were] fiveº cubits;º and the thresholdº of the gateº byºº the porchº of the gateº withinº [was] oneº reed.º

 40:8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

 40:8 He measuredºº alsoº the porchº of the gateº within,º oneº reed.º

 40:9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

 40:9 Then measuredºº heº the porchº of the gate,º eightº cubits;º and the postsº thereof, twoº cubits;º and the porchº of the gateº [was] inward.º

 40:10 And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

 40:10 And the little chambersº of the gateº eastwardºº [were] threeº on this side,ºº and threeº on that side;ºº they threeº [were] of oneº measure:º and the postsº had oneº measureº on this sideºº and on that side.ºº

 40:11 And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

 40:11 And he measuredººº the breadthº of the entryº of the gate,º tenº cubits;º [and] the lengthº of the gate,º thirteenºº cubits.º

 40:12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

 40:12 The spaceº also beforeº the little chambersº [was] oneº cubitº [on this side], and the spaceº [was] oneº cubitº on that side:ºº and the little chambersº [were] sixº cubitsº on this side,ºº and sixº cubitsº on that side.ºº

 40:13 And he measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.

 40:13 He measuredºº thenº the gateº from the roofºº of [one] little chamberº to the roofº of another: the breadthº [was] fiveº and twentyº cubits,º doorº againstº door.º

 40:14 He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court [reached] unto the posts, round about the gate.

 40:14 He madeºº alsoº postsº of threescoreº cubits,º even untoº the postº of the courtº round aboutº the gate.º

 40:15 And [from] the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

 40:15 And fromº the faceº of the gateº of the entranceº untoº the faceº of the porchº of the innerº gateº [were] fiftyº cubits.º

 40:16 And there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon [each] post were palm-trees.

 40:16 And [there were] narrowºº windowsº toº the little chambers,º and toº their postsº withinº the gateº round about,º and likewiseº to the arches:º and windowsº [were] round aboutº inward:º and uponº [each] postº [were] palm trees.º

 40:17 Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

 40:17 Then broughtºº he me intoº the outwardº court,º and, lo,º [there were] chambers,º and a pavementº madeºº for the courtº round about:º thirtyº chambersº [were] uponº the pavement.º

 40:18 And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

 40:18 And the pavementº byº the sideº of the gatesº over againstº the lengthº of the gatesº [was] the lowerº pavement.º

 40:19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

 40:19 Then he measuredºº the breadthº from the forefrontºº of the lowerº gateº unto the forefrontº of the innerº courtº without,ºº an hundredº cubitsº eastwardº and northward.º

 40:20 ¶ And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.

 40:20 ¶ And the gateº of the outwardº courtº thatº lookedº towardº the north,º he measuredºº the lengthº thereof, and the breadthº thereof.

 40:22 And their windows,º and their arches,º and their palm trees,º [were] after the measureº of the gateº thatº lookethº towardº the east;º and they went upºº unto it by sevenº steps;º and the archesº thereof [were] beforeº them.

 40:23 And there was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

 40:23 And the gateº of the innerº courtº [was] over againstº the gateº toward the north,º and toward the east;º and he measuredºº from gateºº toº gateº an hundredº cubits.º

 40:24 ¶ And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.

 40:24 ¶ After that he broughtººº me towardº the south,º and beholdº a gateº towardº the south:º and he measuredºº the postsº thereof and the archesº thereof according to theseº measures.º
