1 No ano vinte e cinco do nosso cativeiro, no princípio do ano, no décimo dia do mês, catorze anos depois que a cidade foi conquistada, naquele mesmo dia veio sobre mim a mão do SENHOR, e me levou para lá.

2 Em visões de Deus me levou à terra de Israel, e me pôs sobre um monte muito alto, sobre o qual havia como que um edifício de cidade para o lado sul.

3 E, havendo-me levado ali, eis que um homem cuja aparência era como a do bronze, tendo um cordel de linho na sua mão e uma cana de medir, e estava em pé na porta.

4 E disse-me o homem: Filho do homem, vê com os teus olhos, e ouve com os teus ouvidos, e põe no teu coração tudo quanto eu te fizer ver; porque para to mostrar foste tu aqui trazido; anuncia, pois, à casa de Israel tudo quanto vires.

5 E havia um muro fora da casa, em seu redor, e na mão do homem uma cana de medir, de seis côvados, cada um dos quais tinha um côvado e um palmo; e ele mediu a largura do edifício, uma cana, e a altura, uma cana.

6 Então veio à porta que olhava para o caminho do oriente, e subiu pelos seus degraus; mediu o umbral da porta, uma cana de largo, e o outro umbral, uma cana de largo.

7 E cada câmara tinha uma cana de comprido, e uma cana de largo, e o espaço entre os aposentos era de cinco côvados; e o umbral da porta, ao pé do vestíbulo da porta, por dentro, era de uma cana.

8 Também mediu o vestíbulo da porta, por dentro, uma cana.

9 Então mediu o vestíbulo da porta, que tinha oito côvados, e os seus pilares, dois côvados, e este vestíbulo da porta, estava por dentro.

10 As câmaras da porta para o lado do oriente eram três de um lado e três do outro; a mesma medida era a dos três; também os pilares de um lado e do outro tinham a mesma medida.

11 Mediu mais a largura da entrada da porta, que era de dez côvados; e o comprimento da porta, treze côvados.

12 E o espaço em frente das câmaras era de um côvado, e de um côvado o espaço do outro lado; e cada câmara tinha seis côvados de um lado e seis côvados do outro.

13 Então mediu a porta desde o telhado de uma câmara até ao telhado da outra, vinte e cinco côvados de largo, porta contra porta.

14 Fez também os pilares, de sessenta côvados, cada pilar, do átrio, em redor da porta.

15 E, desde a face da porta da entrada até à face do vestíbulo da porta interior, havia cinqüenta côvados.

16 Havia também janelas estreitas nas câmaras, e nos seus pilares, dentro da porta ao redor, e da mesma sorte nos vestíbulos; e as janelas estavam ao redor, na parte de dentro, e nos pilares havia palmeiras.

17 E ele me levou ao átrio exterior, e eis que havia nele câmaras, e um pavimento que estava feito no átrio em redor; trinta câmaras havia naquele pavimento.

18 E o pavimento do lado das portas era proporcional ao comprimento das portas; o pavimento estava mais baixo.

19 E mediu a largura desde a dianteira da porta inferior até a dianteira do átrio interior, por fora, cem côvados, do lado do oriente e do norte.

20 E, quanto à porta que olhava para o caminho do norte, no átrio exterior, ele mediu o seu comprimento e a sua largura.

21 E as suas câmaras eram três de um lado, e três do outro, e os seus pilares e os seus arcos eram da medida da primeira porta: cinqüenta côvados era o seu comprimento, e a largura vinte e cinco côvados.

22 E as suas janelas, e os seus arcos, e as suas palmeiras, eram da medida da porta que olhava para o caminho do oriente; e subia-se para ela por sete degraus, e os seus arcos estavam diante dela.

23 E a porta do átrio interior estava defronte da porta do norte bem como da do oriente; e mediu de porta a porta cem côvados.

24 Então ele me levou ao caminho do sul, e eis que havia ali uma porta que olhava para o caminho do sul, e mediu os seus pilares e os seus arcos conforme estas medidas.

25 E havia também janelas em redor dos seus arcos, como as outras janelas; cinqüenta côvados era o comprimento, e a largura vinte e cinco côvados.

26 E de sete degraus eram as suas subidas, e os seus arcos estavam diante delas; e tinha palmeiras, uma de um lado e outra do outro, nos seus pilares.

27 Também havia uma porta no átrio interior para o caminho do sul; e mediu de porta a porta, para o caminho do sul, cem côvados.

28 Então me levou ao átrio interior pela porta do sul; e mediu a porta do sul, conforme estas medidas.

29 E as suas câmaras, e os seus pilares, e os seus arcos eram conforme estas medidas; e tinham também janelas ao redor dos seus arcos; o comprimento era de cinqüenta côvados, e a largura de vinte e cinco côvados.

30 E havia arcos em redor; o comprimento era de vinte e cinco côvados, e a largura de cinco côvados.

31 E os seus arcos estavam na direção do átrio exterior, e havia palmeiras nos seus pilares; e de oito degraus eram as suas subidas.

32 Depois me levou ao átrio interior, para o caminho do oriente, e mediu a porta conforme estas medidas;

33 E também as suas câmaras, e os seus pilares, e os seus arcos, conforme estas medidas; e havia também janelas em redor dos seus arcos; o comprimento de cinqüenta côvados, e a largura de vinte e cinco côvados.

34 E os seus arcos estavam no átrio de fora; também havia palmeiras nos seus pilares de um e de outro lado; e eram as suas subidas de oito degraus.

35 Então me levou à porta do norte, e mediu conforme estas medidas;

36 As suas câmaras, os seus pilares, e os seus arcos; também tinha janelas em redor; o comprimento era de cinqüenta côvados, e a largura de vinte e cinco côvados.

37 E os seus pilares estavam no átrio exterior; também havia palmeiras nos seus pilares de um e de outro lado; e eram as suas subidas de oito degraus.

38 E as suas câmaras e as suas entradas estavam junto aos pilares das portas onde lavavam o holocausto.

39 E no vestíbulo da porta havia duas mesas de um lado, e duas mesas do outro, para nelas se matar o holocausto e a oferta pelo pecado e pela culpa.

40 Também do lado de fora da subida para a entrada da porta do norte havia duas mesas; e do outro lado, que estava no vestíbulo da porta, havia duas mesas.

41 Quatro mesas de um lado, e quatro mesas do outro; aos lados da porta oito mesas, sobre as quais imolavam.

42 E as quatro mesas para o holocausto eram de pedras lavradas; o comprimento era de um côvado e meio, e a largura de um côvado e meio, e a altura de um côvado; e sobre elas se punham os instrumentos com que imolavam o holocausto e o sacrifício.

43 E os ganchos de um palmo de comprimento, estavam fixos por dentro em redor, e sobre as mesas estava a carne da oferta.

44 E fora da porta interior estavam as câmaras dos cantores, no átrio de dentro, que estava ao lado da porta do norte e olhava para o caminho do sul; uma estava ao lado da porta do oriente, e olhava para o caminho do norte.

45 E ele me disse: Esta câmara que olha para o caminho do sul é para os sacerdotes que têm a guarda da casa.

46 Mas a câmara que olha para o caminho do norte é para os sacerdotes que têm a guarda do altar; são estes os filhos de Zadoque, que se chegam ao Senhor, dentre os filhos de Levi, para o servir.

47 E mediu o átrio; o comprimento de cem côvados e a largura de cem côvados, um quadrado; e o altar estava diante da casa.

48 Então me levou ao vestíbulo da casa, e mediu a cada pilar do vestíbulo, cinco côvados de um lado, e cinco côvados do outro; e a largura da porta, três côvados de um lado, e três côvados do outro.

49 O comprimento do vestíbulo era de vinte côvados, e a largura de onze côvados, e era por degraus, que se subia a ele; e havia colunas junto aos pilares, uma de um lado e outra do outro.

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.
