Ezekiel 40:29-46 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

30. And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.

31. And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.

32. And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

33. Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

34. And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

35. And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.

36. Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

37. And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

38. And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.

39. And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.

40. And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.

41. Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.

42. Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.

43. And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.

44. And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.

45. And he said to me: "This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.

46. Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him."
