So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a
watchman unto the house of Israel;
therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and
warn them from me.

Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall
thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his
transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to
stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to
survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.

shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.

shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Therefore, you
shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because
there was no
shepherd, neither did my
shepherds search for my flock, but the
shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a
shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My
shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,
Therefore, O ye
shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
therefore, you
shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

grazing land.
There they will lie down in a good
grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the
lean cattle.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the
lean sheep.
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not
hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you

therefore prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you
desolate and have
trampled you on every side, so that you became a possession of the rest of the nations and were taken up in
slander by the lips of their talkers,

desolate wastes, and to the cities that are
forsaken, which became a prey and
derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the
desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become a
spoil and a
mockery to the rest of the nations around you.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all
Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with
despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all
Edom, who took My land as their own possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, so that its pastureland became
plunder.
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my
fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
Therefore,
prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have
endured the reproach of the nations.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

sworn with an
uplifted hand that surely the nations around you will
endure reproach of their own.

bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.

profaned among the nations to which you went.

So I
prophesied as I was commanded: and as I
prophesied,
there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of
Tarshish, with all the young lions
thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a

spoil?
Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of

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;
Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against
Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O
Gog, the chief prince of
Meshech and
Tubal:
“As for you, O son of man,
prophesy against
Gog and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O
Gog, chief prince of
Meshech and
Tubal.
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, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field,

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.

Its
portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the
galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple
courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its
galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the
porticoes facing the court,
The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.
There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
And the doors had two leaves
apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
and each door had two
swinging panels.
There were two panels for one door and two for the other.
And
there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and
there were thick planks upon the face of the
porch without.
Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and
there was a wooden
canopy outside, on the front of the
portico.
And
there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the
porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
There were
beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the
portico. The side rooms of the temple also had
canopies.
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts:
therefore the building was
straitened more than the lowest and the
middlemost from the ground.
For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the
forepart of the chambers, the length
thereof was fifty cubits.
An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things:
there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the
trespass offering; for the place is holy.
Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple
courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings.
There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
