Ezekiel 40

Gen Z: Ezekiel 40

1Yo, in the 25th year of our captivity, at the start of the year, on the 10th day, like 14 years after the city got wrecked, the Lord’s hand was on me and took me there.

2In a vision, God took me to Israel and put me on this super high mountain that looked like a city frame down south.

3He brought me there, and check it, there was a dude who looked like brass, holding a flax line and a measuring stick, chillin' at the gate.

4The dude said, "Son of man, peep this with your eyes, listen with your ears, and lock in your heart on everything I’m about to show you; I brought you here to spill the tea to the house of Israel."

5And there was a wall outside the house all around, and in the guy’s hand was a measuring stick six cubits long; he measured the width of the building, one stick; and the height, one stick.

6Then he hit the gate facing east, went up the stairs, and measured the threshold, which was one stick wide; the other threshold was also one stick wide.

7Every little room was one stick long and one stick wide; between those rooms were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch was one stick.

8He also measured the porch of the gate inside, one stick.

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

10The little rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side and three on that side; all six were the same size, and the posts had the same size on both sides.

11He checked the width of the gate, it was ten cubits wide; and the length? Thirteen cubits, no cap.

12The space in front of the lil chambers was one cubit on each side, and those chambers were six cubits each. Vibes.

13He measured the gate from one lil chamber's roof to another's: it was twenty-five cubits wide, door to door. Lit.

14He made posts that were sixty cubits tall, going all the way to the court around the gate. Goated.

15From the gate entrance to the inner porch, it was fifty cubits. Periodt.

16There were narrow windows in the lil chambers and their posts inside the gate, plus arches with windows all around. Palm trees on each post, fr.

17Then he took me to the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement around it: thirty chambers on the pavement, no cap.

18The pavement by the gates opposite the length of the gates was the lower pavement. Bussin.

19He measured the width from the lower gate's front to the inner court's front, a hundred cubits east and north. Savage.

20And the gate of the outer court facing north? He measured its length and width. Bet.

21So there were three chill spots on this side and three on that side; the posts and arches were just like the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide, no cap.

22Their windows, arches, and palm trees were all styled like the east gate; they had to climb seven steps to get there, and the arches were right in front of them.

23The inner court gate was across from the north and east gates; he measured a hundred cubits from gate to gate, fr.

24Then he took me south, and boom, there was a gate there: he measured the posts and arches just like the other ones.

25There were windows and arches all around it, just like those other windows: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide, lit.

26There were seven steps to get up to it, and the arches were right there; palm trees were one on this side and another on that side of the posts.

27There was a gate in the inner court facing south: he measured a hundred cubits from gate to gate southward, periodt.

28He brought me to the inner court through the south gate: he measured the south gate based on these numbers.

29The little chambers, posts, and arches were measured up like this: there were windows in it and arches all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide, no cap.

30The arches all around were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide, no cap.

31The arches were facing the outer court, and there were palm trees vibin' on the posts; the way up had eight steps, no cap.

32He took me to the inner court on the east side and measured the gate, and it was lit.

33The little chambers, posts, and arches were all on point with these measurements; there were windows all around, it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide, fr.

34The arches were facing the outer court too, with palm trees on the posts, and the way up had eight steps, periodt.

35He took me to the north gate and measured it, and it was goated.

36The little chambers, posts, arches, and windows were all around; the length was fifty cubits and the width was twenty-five cubits, no cap.

37The posts were facing the outer court, palm trees on the posts on both sides, and the way up had eight steps, it was savage.

38The chambers and entries were by the gate posts, where they washed the burnt offering, that's how they roll.

39In the gate's porch, there were two tables on this side and two on that side for slaying burnt offerings, sin offerings, and trespass offerings, it was bussin'.

40Outside, as you go up to the north gate entry, there were two tables, and on the other side at the porch, there were two more tables, straight up.

41There were four tables on this side and four on that side by the gate; eight tables where they were slaying their sacrifices. Total vibes.

42Those four tables were made of stone for the burnt offerings, each one and a half cubits long and wide, and one cubit high: they laid the tools for the sacrifices there. No cap.

43Inside were hooks, a hand's width, all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering. Straight up.

44Outside the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, by the north gate; they faced south, and one near the east gate faced north. Lit.

45He told me, "This chamber facing south is for the priests who keep the charge of the house." Bet.

46The chamber facing north is for the priests who handle the altar: these are Zadok's sons from Levi, who come close to the Lord to serve him. Goated.

47He measured the court, a hundred cubits long and wide, a perfect square; and the altar was in front of the house. Bussin’.

48He took me to the porch of the house and measured each post: five cubits on this side and five on that side; the gate was three cubits wide on each side. Periodt.

49The porch was twenty cubits long and eleven cubits wide; he showed me the steps they used to go up to it, with pillars by the posts, one on each side. Savage.

KJV: Ezekiel 40

1In 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.

2In 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.

3And 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.

4And 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.

5And 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.

6Then 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.

7And 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.

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

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

10And 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.

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

12The 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.

13He 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.

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

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

16And 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.

17Then 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.

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

19Then 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.

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

21And 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.

22And 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.

23And 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.

24After 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.

25And 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.

26And 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.

27And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.

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

29And 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.

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

31And 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.

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

33And 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.

34And 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.

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

36The 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.

37And 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.

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

39And 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.

40And 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.

41Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.

42And 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.

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

44And 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.

45And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

46And 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.

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

48And 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.

49The 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.
