1 In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the first month of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the town was taken, on the very same day, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he took me there.

2 In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel, and put me down on a very high mountain, on which there was, as it seemed, a building like a town opposite me.

3 He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway.

4 And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

5 And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

6 Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide.

7 And the watchmen's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod.

8 And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside,

9 Eight cubits; and its uprights, two cubits; the covered way of the doorway was inside.

10 And the rooms of the doorway on the east were three on this side and three on that; all three were of the same size; and the uprights on this side and on that were of the same size.

11 And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway, ten cubits wide; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits;

12 And the space in front of the rooms, a cubit on this side and a cubit on that side; and the rooms six cubits on this side and six cubits on that.

13 And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other, twenty-five cubits across, from door to door.

14 And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

15 And from before the opening of the doorway to before the inner covered way of the doorway was fifty cubits.

16 And the rooms and their uprights had sloping windows inside the doorway all round, and in the same way the covered way had windows all round on the inside: and on every upright there were palm-trees.

17 Then he took me into the outer square, and there were rooms and a stone floor made for the open square all round: there were thirty rooms on the stone floor.

18 And the stone floor was by the side of the doorways, and was as wide as the doorways were long, even the lower floor.

19 Then he took the measure of the square across, from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside, one hundred cubits. And he took me in the direction of the north,

20 And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

21 And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

22 And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

23 And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north, like the doorway on the east; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway, a hundred cubits.

24 And he took me to the south, and I saw a doorway looking to the south: and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures.

25 And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

26 And there were seven steps up to it, and its covered way went inside: and it had palm-trees, one on this side and one on that, on its uprights.

27 And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

28 Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway: and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures;

29 And the rooms in it and the uprights and the covered ways, by these measures:

30 And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

31 The covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; and there were palm-trees on the uprights: and there were eight steps going up to it.

32 And he took me into the inner square facing the east: and he took the measure of the doorway by these measures;

33 And of the rooms in it and its uprights and its covered ways, by these measures: and there were windows in it and in the covered way round about: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

34 And the covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

35 And he took me to the north doorway: and he took the measure of it by these measures;

36 Its rooms, its uprights, and its covered way had the same measures, and its covered way had windows all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

37 Its uprights were on the side nearest to the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

38 And there was a room with a door in the covered way of the doorway, where the burned offering was washed.

39 And in the covered way of the doorway there were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which the burned offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error were put to death:

40 On the outer side, to the north, as one goes up to the opening of the doorway, were two tables.

41 There were four tables on one side and four tables on the other, by the side of the doorway; eight tables, on which they put to death the beasts for the offerings.

42 And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

43 And they had edges all round as wide as a man's hand: and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings.

44 And he took me into the inner square, and there were two rooms in the inner square, one at the side of the north doorway, facing south; and one at the side of the south doorway, facing north.

45 And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.

46 And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

47 And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.

48 Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.

49 The covered way was twenty cubits long and twelve cubits wide, and they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the uprights, one on one side and one on the other.

1 Dvadcátého pátého léta od zajetí našeho, na počátku roku, desátého dne měsíce, čtrnáctého léta po dobytí města, právě v tentýž den byla nade mnou ruka Hospodinova, a uvedl mne tam.

2 U viděních Božích přivedl mne do země Izraelské, a postavil mne na hoře velmi vysoké, při níž bylo jako stavení města, ku poledni.

3 I uvedl mne tam, a aj, muž, kterýž na pohledění byl jako měď, maje šňůru lněnou v ruce své, a prut k rozměřování, a ten stál v bráně.

4 I mluvil ke mně ten muž: Synu člověčí, viz očima svýma, a ušima svýma slyš, a přilož srdce své ke všemu, což já ukáži tobě; nebo proto aťbych ukazoval, přiveden jsi sem. Ty pak oznámíš všecko domu Izraelskému, což vidíš.

5 A aj, zed zevnitř při domu vůkol a vůkol, a v ruce muže toho prut míry, šesti loket, (loket o dlaň delší než obecní). Změřil šířku toho stavení jednoho prutu, a výšku jednoho prutu.

6 A všed do brány, kteráž byla naproti východu, šel na horu po stupních jejích, i změřil prah brány jednoho prutu zšíří, a prah druhý jednoho prutu zšíří.

7 A pokojíky jednoho prutu zdélí, a jednoho prutu zšíří, mezi pokojíky pak pět loket, a prah brány podlé síňce brány vnitř prutu jednoho.

8 I změřil síňci brány vnitř na jeden prut.

9 Změřil také síňci brány osmi loket, a veřeje její dvou loket, totiž síňce brány vnitř.

10 I pokojíky brány východní, tři s jedné a tři s druhé strany. Jedné míry byly všecky tři, a míra jednostejná veřejí po obou stranách.

11 Změřil též i širokost dveří té brány desíti loket, a dlouhost též brány třinácti loket,

12 A přístřeší před pokojíky jednoho lokte, a na jeden loket přístřeší s této strany, pokojíky pak šesti loket s jedné, a šesti loket s druhé strany.

13 A tak změřil bránu od střechy pokojíka do střechy druhého, širokost pětmecítma loket, dvéře naproti dveřím.

14 A udělal veřeje šedesáti loket, a každé veřeje síně i brány vůkol a vůkol jedna míra.

15 Od předku pak brány, kudyž se vchází do předku síňce brány vnitřní, bylo padesáte loket.

16 A byla okna possoužená v pokojících i nad veřejemi jejich, do vnitřku brány vůkol a vůkol, takž i při klenutí, a na okních vůkol a vůkol do vnitřku, a na veřejích byly palmy.

17 Potom mne uvedl do síně zevnitřní, a aj, komůrky a půda udělaná při síni vůkol a vůkol. Třidceti komůrek na té půdě bylo.

18 Ta pak půda po straně těch bran, naproti dlouhosti bran, půda nižší byla.

19 Změřil také šířku od předku brány dolejší až k předku síně vnitřní, zevnitř na sto loket k východu a půlnoci.

20 Též bránu, kteráž byla na půlnoci při síni zevnitřní, změřil na dél i na šíř.

21 (Jejíž pokojíkové tři s jedné a tři s druhé strany, i veřeje její i síňce její byly podlé míry brány prvnější.) Padesáti loket dlouhost její, širokost pak pětmecítma loket.

22 Okna také její i síňce její i palmy její byly podlé míry brány té, kteráž byla k východu, a vstupovalo se k ní po sedmi stupních, před nimiž síňce její byly.

23 A byla ta brána u síně vnitřní naproti bráně půlnoční a východní; i odměřil od brány k bráně sto loket.

24 Potom mne vedl ku poledni, a aj, brána ku poledni; i změřil veřeje její, i síňce její podlé těch měr,

25 (A okna v ní i síňce její vůkol a vůkol podobná oknům oněm), padesáti loket zdélí a pětmecítma loket zšíří.

26 A k vstupování k ní stupňů sedm, a síňce její před nimi; též palmy při ní, jedna s jedné a druhá s druhé strany při veřejích jejích.

27 Též bránu síně vnitřní ku poledni změřil od brány k bráně, na poledne, sto loket.

28 I uvedl mne do síně vnitřní branou polední, a změřil tu bránu polední podlé týchž měr,

29 I pokojíky její i veřeje její, i síňce její podlé týchž měr, i okna její i síňce její vůkol a vůkol, padesáti loket na dél, a na šíř pětmecítma loket.

30 A síňce vůkol a vůkol zšíří pětmecítma loket, a zdélí padesáti loket.

31 A síňce její jako síň zevnitřní, i palmy při veřejích jejích, též stupňů osm k vstupování k ní.

32 Uvedl mne také do síně vnitřní k východu, i změřil bránu tu podlé týchž měr,

33 Též pokojíky její i veřeje její, i síňce její, podlé týchž měr, i okna její i síňce její vůkol a vůkol, zdélí padesáti loket, zšíří pak pětmecítma loket.

34 Též síňce její při síni zevnitřní, a palmy při veřejích s obou stran, a osm stupňů k vstupování k ní.

35 Přivedl mne též k bráně půlnoční, a změřil ji podlé týchž měr,

36 Pokojíky její, veřeje její i síňce její i okna její vůkol a vůkol, zdélí padesáti loket, a zšíří pětmecítma loket.

37 I veřeje její při síni zevnitřní a palmy při veřejích s obou stran, též osm stupňů k vstupování k ní,

38 I komůrky a dvéře její při veřejích bran, kdež obmývali oběti zápalné.

39 A v síňci brány byli dva štokové s jedné strany, a dva štokové s druhé strany, aby na nich zabíjeli oběti zápalné, a za hřích i vinu.

40 A po boku, kudyž se tam vstupuje při dveřích brány půlnoční, dva štokové; tolikéž po boku druhém síňce též brány dva štokové.

41 Čtyři štokové s jedné, a čtyři štokové s druhé strany po boku brány, osm štoků, na nichž zabíjeli.

42 Čtyři pak štokové k zápalu byli z kamení tesaného, zdélí půldruhého lokte, a zšíří půldruhého lokte, a zvýší lokte jednoho, na nichž nechávali nádobí, kterýmž zabíjeli k zápalům a obětem.

43 A kotliska ztlouští na jednu dlaň připravená v domě vůkol a vůkol, na štocích pak maso věcí obětovaných.

44 Potom zevnitř, při bráně vnitřní, komůrky zpěváků v síni vnitřní, kteráž byla po boku brány půlnoční, a ty byly na poledne; jedna při boku brány východní byla na půlnoci.

45 I mluvil ke mně: Tyto komůrky na poledne jsou kněží stráž držících nad domem;

46 Ty pak komůrky na půlnoci jsou kněží stráž držících nad oltářem, totiž synů Sádochových, kteříž přistupují z synů Léví k Hospodinu, aby sloužili jemu.

47 I změřil tu síň čtverhranou zdélí sto loket, a zšíří sto loket, i oltář před domem.

48 I přivedl mne k síňci domu, a změřil veřeje té síňce, pěti loket s jedné a pěti loket s druhé strany, širokost pak brány byla tří loket s jedné a tří loket s druhé strany.

49 Dlouhost síňce dvadcíti loket, širokost pak jedenácti loket i s stupni, po nichž se vstupovalo k ní; sloupové pak byli při veřejích, jeden s jedné, a druhý s druhé strany.
