Bible Reading for September 12

Ezekiel Chapter 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 the LORD was
upon me, and brought me thither.

2 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.

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.

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 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.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts
thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

10 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.

11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and
the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

12 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.

13 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.

14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the
court round about the gate.

15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the
porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.

16 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.

17 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.

18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of
the gates was the lower pavement.

19 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.

20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he
measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.

21 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.

22 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.

23 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.

24 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.

25 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.

26 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.

27 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.

28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he
measured the south gate according to these measures;

29 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.

30 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

31 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.

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he
measured the gate according to these measures.

33 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.

34 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.

35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to
these measures;

36 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.

37 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.

38 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the
gates, where they washed the burnt offering.

39 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.

40 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.

41 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.

42 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.

43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon
the tables was the flesh of the offering.

44 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.

45 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.

46 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.

47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred
cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.

48 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.

49 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.

Ezekiel Chapter 41

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 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.

8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the
side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

9 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.

10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round
about the house on every side.

11 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.

12 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.

13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate
place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place
toward the east, an hundred cubits.

15 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;

16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about
on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round
about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and
by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree
was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side,
and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it
was made through all the house round about.

20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees
made, and on the wall of the temple.

21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary;
the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.

22 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.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves
for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

25 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.

26 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.

Ezekiel Chapter 42

1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the
north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the
separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.

2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the
breadth was fifty cubits.

3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and
over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery
against gallery in three stories.

4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way
of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher
than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.

6 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.

7 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.

8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.

9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one
goeth into them from the utter court.

10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward
the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.

11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which
were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all
their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to
their doors.

12 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.

13 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.

14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the
holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other
garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought
me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured
it round about.

16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred
reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring
reed round about.

18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.

19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed.

20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five
hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between
the sanctuary and the profane place.
