He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces north.

He said to me, “This chamber which faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

It was made with cherubim and decorative palm trees, with a palm tree between each cherub. Each cherub had two faces:

Its length was 175 feet on the north side, and its width 87½ feet.

The glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate that faces east.

You will present them before the Lord, and the priests will scatter salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.

The people of the land will bow down at the entrance of that gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the wild beasts, all the things that creep on the ground, and all people who live on the face of the earth will shake at my presence. The mountains will topple, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

While they are watching, raise your baggage onto your shoulder and carry it out in the dark. You must cover your face so that you cannot see the ground because I have made you an object lesson to the house of Israel.”

“Son of man, these men have erected their idols in their hearts and placed the obstacle leading to their iniquity right before their faces. Should I really allow them to seek me?
