New Testament

Ezekiel 40:4-21 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

4. And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I might show them to 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 around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and a hand-breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed: and the hight, one reed.

6. Then he came to the gate which looketh towards the east, and ascended its stairs, and measured the threshhold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshhold 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 threshhold 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 he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, 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 sixty cubits; even to the post of the court around the gate.

15. And from the face of the gate of the entrance to 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 around, and likewise to the arches: and windows were around inward: and upon each post were palm-trees.

17. Then he brought me into the outward court, and lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court around: 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 front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits eastward and northward.

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

21. And the little chambers of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
