the far north—you and many peoples with you, all riding horses—a mighty
horde, a huge army.
And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover
the land; it shall be in
the latter days, and I will bring
thee against my land, that
the heathen may know me, when I shall be
sanctified in
thee, O
Gog, before
their eyes.

the land. It will happen in

their eyes.
Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants
the prophets of Israel, which
prophesied in those days many years that I would bring
thee against
them?
This is what
the Lord GOD says: Are you
the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants,
the prophets of Israel, who in those times
prophesied for years that I would bring you against
them?
And it shall come to pass at
the same time when
Gog shall come against
the land of Israel, saith
the Lord GOD, that my
fury shall come up in my face.
Now on that day when
Gog comes against
the land of Israel, declares
the Lord GOD, My wrath will
flare up.
For in my jealousy and in
the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day
there shall be a great
shaking in
the land of Israel;
So that
the fishes of
the sea, and
the fowls of
the heaven, and
the beasts of
the field, and all
creeping things that
creep upon
the earth, and all
the men that are upon
the face of
the earth, shall
shake at my presence, and
the mountains shall be thrown down, and
the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to
the ground.
The fish of
the sea,
the birds of
the air,
the beasts of
the field, every creature that crawls upon
the ground, and all mankind on
the face of
the earth will
tremble at My presence.
The mountains will be thrown down,
the cliffs will
collapse, and every wall will fall to
the ground.

plead against him with
pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon
the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
I will
execute judgment upon him with plague and
bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on
the many nations with him.
Thus will I
magnify myself, and
sanctify myself; and I will be known in
the eyes of many nations, and
they shall know that I am
the LORD.

Gog,
the chief prince of
Meshech and

And I will
smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and
the people that is with
thee: I will give
thee unto
the ravenous birds of every sort, and to
the beasts of
the field to be
devoured.
On
the mountains of Israel you will fall—you and all your troops and
the nations with you. I will give you as food to every kind of
ravenous bird and wild beast.
Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
And I will send a fire on
Magog, and among
them that dwell
carelessly in
the isles: and

the LORD.

Magog and on those who dwell securely in
the coastlands, and
they will know that I am
the LORD.
So will I make my holy name known in
the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let
them pollute my holy name any more: and

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith
the Lord GOD; this is

And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Then those who dwell in
the cities of Israel will go out,
kindle fires, and burn up
the weapons—
the bucklers and shields,
the bows and arrows,
the clubs and spears. For seven years
they will use
them for fuel.
So that
they shall take no wood out of
the field, neither cut down any out of
the forests; for
they shall burn
the weapons with fire: and
they shall
spoil those that
spoiled them, and
rob those that
robbed them, saith
the Lord GOD.
They will not gather wood from
the countryside or cut it from
the forests, for
they will use
the weapons for fuel.
They will
loot those who
looted them and
plunder those who
plundered them, declares
the Lord GOD.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog a place
there of graves in Israel,
the valley of
the passengers on
the east of
the sea: and it shall stop
the noses of
the passengers: and
there shall
they bury Gog and all his multitude: and
they shall call it
The valley of
Hamon-
gog.
And on that day I will give
Gog a burial place in Israel,
the Valley of
the Travelers, east of
the Sea. It will block those who travel through, because
Gog and all his hordes will be buried
there. So it will be called
the Valley of
Hamon-
gog.
And seven months shall
the house of Israel be
burying of
them, that
they may
cleanse the land.
For seven months
the house of Israel will be
burying them in order to
cleanse the land.
Yea, all
the people of
the land shall
bury them; and it shall be to
them a
renown the day that I shall be
glorified, saith
the Lord GOD.
All
the people of
the land will
bury them, and it will bring
them renown on
the day I display My glory, declares
the Lord GOD.
And
they shall
sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to
bury with
the passengers those that remain upon
the face of
the earth, to
cleanse it: after
the end of seven months shall
they search.
And men will be employed to continually pass through
the land to
cleanse it by
burying the invaders who remain on
the ground. At
the end of
the seven months
they will begin
their search.
And
the passengers that pass through
the land, when any
seeth a man’s bone,
then shall he set up a sign by it, till
the buriers have buried it in
the valley of
Hamon-
gog.
As
they pass through
the land,
anyone who sees a human bone will set up a
pillar next to it, until
the gravediggers have buried it in
the Valley of
Hamon-
gog.
And also
the name of
the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall
they cleanse the land.
(Even
the city will be named Hamonah.) And so
they will
cleanse the land.
And, thou son of man, thus saith
the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of
the field,
Assemble yourselves, and come; gather
yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon
the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
And as for you, son of man, this is what
the Lord GOD says: Call out to every kind of bird and to every beast of
the field: ‘
Assemble and come together from all around to
the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great feast on
the mountains of Israel.
There you will eat flesh and drink blood.
Ye shall eat
the flesh of
the mighty, and drink
the blood of
the princes of
the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of
them fatlings of
Bashan.
You will eat
the flesh of
the mighty and drink
the blood of
the princes of
the earth as though
they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all
the fattened animals of
Bashan.
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be
drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
At
the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are
gorged and drink blood until you are
drunk.
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and
chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith
the Lord GOD.
And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
I will display My glory among
the nations, and all
the nations will see
the judgment that I
execute and
the hand that I lay upon
them.
So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
And
the heathen shall know that
the house of Israel went into captivity for
their iniquity: because
they trespassed against me,
therefore hid I my face from
them, and gave
them into
the hand of
their enemies: so fell
they all by
the sword.
And
the nations will know that
the house of Israel went into exile for
their iniquity, because
they were unfaithful to Me. So I
hid My face from
them and delivered
them into
the hands of
their enemies, so that
they all fell by
the sword.
According to
their uncleanness and according to
their transgressions have I done unto
them, and
hid my face from
them.
I dealt with
them according to
their uncleanness and transgressions, and I
hid My face from
them.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again
the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon
the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
Therefore this is what
the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob from captivity and will have
compassion on
the whole house of Israel, and I will be
jealous for My holy name.
After that
they have borne
their shame, and all
their trespasses whereby
they have
trespassed against me, when
they dwelt safely in
their land, and none made
them afraid.
They will
forget their disgrace and all
the treachery they committed against Me, when
they dwell securely in
their land, with no one to
frighten them.
When I have brought
them again from
the people, and gathered
them out of
their enemies’ lands, and am
sanctified in
them in
the sight of many nations;
When I bring
them back from
the peoples and gather
them out of
the lands of
their enemies, I will show My
holiness in
them in
the sight of many nations.
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, when I regather them to their own land, not leaving any of them behind after their exile among the nations.
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
And I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.”
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
the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
In
the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at
the beginning of
the year, on
the tenth day of
the month—in
the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day
the hand of
the LORD was upon me, and He took me
there.
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.
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.
So He took me
there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in
the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
And
the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall
shew thee; for to
the intent that I might
shew them unto
thee art thou brought
hither: declare all that thou seest to
the house of Israel.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”
And behold a wall on
the outside of
the house round about, and in
the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by
the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured
the breadth of
the building, one reed; and
the height, one reed.
And I saw a wall surrounding
the temple area. Now
the length of
the measuring rod in
the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a
cubit and a
handbreadth), and he measured
the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.
Then came he unto
the gate which looketh toward
the east, and went up
the stairs
thereof, and measured
the threshold of
the gate, which was one reed broad; and
the other
threshold of
the gate, which was one reed broad.
Then he came to
the gate facing east and
climbed its steps. He measured
the threshold of
the gate to be one rod deep.
And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between
the little chambers were five cubits; and
the threshold of
the gate by
the porch of
the gate within was one reed.
Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and
there were five cubits between
the gate chambers.
The inner
threshold of
the gate by
the portico facing inward was one rod deep.
He measured also
the porch of
the gate within, one reed.
Then measured he
the porch of
the gate, eight cubits; and
the posts
thereof, two cubits; and
the porch of
the gate was inward.
it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And
the portico of
the gateway faced
the temple.
And the little chambers 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.
There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
And he measured
the width of
the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.
The space also before
the little chambers was one
cubit on this side, and
the space was one
cubit on that side: and
the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
In front of each gate chamber was a wall one
cubit high, and
the gate chambers were six cubits square.
He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
Then he measured
the gateway from
the roof of one gate chamber to
the roof of
the opposite one;
the distance was twenty-five cubits from
doorway to
doorway.
He made also posts of
threescore cubits, even unto
the post of
the court round about
the gate.
And from
the face of
the gate of
the entrance unto
the face of
the porch of
the inner gate were fifty cubits.
And
the distance from
the entrance of
the gateway to
the far end of its inner
portico was fifty cubits.
And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, 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.
The gate chambers and
their side pillars had
beveled windows all around
the inside of
the gateway.
The porticos also had windows all around on
the inside. Each side
pillar was decorated with palm trees.
Then brought he me into
the outward court, and, lo,
there were chambers, and a
pavement made for
the court round about: thirty chambers were upon
the pavement.
Then he brought me into
the outer court, and
there were chambers and a
pavement laid out all around
the court. Thirty chambers faced
the pavement,
And
the pavement by
the side of
the gates over against
the length of
the gates was
the lower
pavement.
which
flanked the gateways and corresponded to
the length of
the gates; this was
the lower
pavement.
Then he measured
the breadth from
the forefront of
the lower gate unto
the forefront of
the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
Then he measured
the distance from
the front of
the lower
gateway to
the outside of
the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on
the east side as well as on
the north.
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
He also measured
the length and width of
the gateway of
the outer court facing north.
And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its
portico all had
the same measurements as
the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
Its windows,
portico, and palm trees had
the same measurements as those of
the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its
portico opposite
them.
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
There was a gate to
the inner court facing
the north gate, just as
there was on
the east. He measured
the distance from
gateway to
gateway to be a hundred cubits.
After that he brought 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.
Then he led me to
the south side, and I saw a
gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and
portico, and
they had
the same measurements as
the others.
And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
Both
the gateway and its
portico had windows all around, like
the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
Seven steps led up to it, and its
portico was opposite
them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.
And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured
the distance from
gateway to
gateway toward
the south to be a hundred cubits.
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and
portico had
the same measurements as
the others. Both
the gateway and its
portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
(
The porticoes around
the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.
Its
portico faced
the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
And he brought me to
the inner court on
the east side, and he measured
the gateway; it had
the same measurements as
the others.
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and
portico had
the same measurements as
the others. Both
the gateway and its
portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
Its
portico faced
the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,
The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and
portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
Its
portico faced
the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
And
the chambers and
the entries thereof were by
the posts of
the gates, where
they washed
the burnt offering.
There was a chamber with a
doorway by
the portico in each of
the inner gateways.
There the burnt offering was to be washed.
And in
the porch of
the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to
slay thereon the burnt offering and
the sin offering and
the trespass offering.
Inside
the portico of
the gateway were two tables on each side, on which
the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.
And at
the side without, as one goeth up to
the entry of
the north gate, were two tables; and on
the other side, which was at
the porch of
the gate, were two tables.
Outside, as one goes up to
the entrance of
the north
gateway,
there were two tables on one side and two more tables on
the other side of
the gate’s
portico.
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by
the side of
the gate; eight tables,
whereupon they slew their sacrifices.
So
there were four tables inside
the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which
the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.
And
the four tables were of
hewn stone for
the burnt offering, of a
cubit and an half long, and a
cubit and an half broad, and one
cubit high:
whereupon also
they laid
the instruments
wherewith they slew the burnt offering and
the sacrifice.
There were also four tables of dressed stone for
the burnt offering, each a
cubit and a half long, a
cubit and a half wide, and a
cubit high. On
these were placed
the utensils used to slaughter
the burnt offerings and
the other sacrifices.
And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
The double-
pronged hooks, each a
handbreadth long, were fastened all around
the inside of
the room, and
the flesh of
the offering was to be placed on
the tables.
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.
And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,
And
the chamber whose prospect is toward
the north is for
the priests,
the keepers of
the charge of
the altar:
these are
the sons of
Zadok among
the sons of Levi, which come near to
the LORD to minister unto him.
and
the chamber that faces north is for
the priests who keep charge of
the altar.
These are
the sons of
Zadok,
the only Levites who may approach
the LORD to minister before Him.”
So he measured
the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad,
foursquare; and
the altar that was before
the house.
Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.
And he brought me to
the porch of
the house, and measured each post of
the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and
the breadth of
the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
Then he brought me to
the portico of
the temple and measured
the side pillars of
the portico to be five cubits on each side.
The width of
the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.
The length of
the porch was twenty cubits, and
the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by
the steps whereby
they went up to it: and
there were pillars by
the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it.
There were columns by
the side pillars, one on each side.
Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.
And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.
Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.
So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.
And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.
And
there was an
enlarging, and a winding about still upward to
the side chambers: for
the winding about of
the house went still upward round about
the house:
therefore the breadth of
the house was still upward, and so increased from
the lowest chamber to
the highest by
the midst.
The side rooms surrounding
the temple
widened at each successive level, because
the structure surrounding
the temple ascended by stages corresponding to
the narrowing of
the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a
stairway went up from
the lowest story to
the highest, through
the middle one.
I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple
And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.
And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.
Now
the building that was before
the separate place at
the end toward
the west was seventy cubits broad; and
the wall of
the building was five cubits thick round about, and
the length
thereof ninety cubits.
Now
the building that faced
the temple
courtyard on
the west was seventy cubits wide, and
the wall of
the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of
ninety cubits.
So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
Then he measured
the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and
the temple
courtyard and
the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
