In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

I will fill its mountains with its dead; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines, those killed by the sword will fall.

In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to seek the Lord, and they sat down in front of me.

Then I perceived that the glory of the God of Israel was there, as in the vision I had seen earlier in the valley.

As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there and melt you.

I will ignite a fire in Egypt; Syene will writhe in agony, Thebes will be broken down, and Memphis will face enemies every day.

The allotment you set apart to the Lord will be eight and a quarter miles in length and three and one-third miles in width.

Have you not copied their behavior and practiced their abominable deeds? In a short time you became even more depraved in all your conduct than they were!

These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles in length, toward the west three and one-third miles in width, toward the east three and one-third miles in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle.

You will also take the bull for the sin offering, and it will be burned in the appointed place in the temple, outside the sanctuary.

I will put an end to the obscene conduct in the land; all the women will learn a lesson from this and not engage in obscene conduct.

He said to me, “Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.”

She did not abandon the prostitution she had practiced in Egypt; for in her youth men had sex with her, fondled her virgin breasts, and ravished her.

An area eight and a quarter miles in length and three and one-third miles in width will be for the Levites, who minister at the temple, as the place for the cities in which they will live.
