A New City, a New Temple
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after athe city was captured, on the very same day bthe hand of the Lord was upon me; and He took me there.
2 aIn the visions of God He took me into the land of Israel and bset me on a very high mountain; on it toward the south was something like the structure of a city.
3 He took me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was alike the appearance of bronze. bHe had a line of flax cand a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway.
4 And the man said to me, a“Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and1 fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. bDeclare to the house of Israel everything you see.”
5 Now there was aa wall all around the outside of the1 temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six2 cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.
The Eastern Gateway of the Temple
6 Then he went to the gateway which faced aeast; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gateway, which was one rod wide, and the other threshold was one rod wide.
7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide; between the gate chambers was a space of five cubits; and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate was one rod.
