By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall – all of them are the most terrifying among the nations. They will devastate the pride of Egypt, and all its hordes will be destroyed.

In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth of the month, ¹  a refugee came to me from Jerusalem ²  saying, “The city has been defeated!” ³ 

There were three alcoves on each side of the east gate; the three had the same measurement, and the jambs on either side had the same measurement. ¹ 

The width of the entrance was 17½ feet, ¹  and the sides ²  of the entrance were 8¾ feet ³  on each side. He measured the length of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet, ⁴  and its width as 35 feet. ⁵ 

The ledge is 24½ feet ¹  long and 24½ feet wide on four sides; the border around it is 10½ inches, ²  and its surrounding base 1¾ feet. ³  Its steps face east.”

He will provide a grain offering: an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wishes, ¹  and a gallon ²  of olive oil with each ephah of grain. ³ 

(The cherubim appeared to have the form ¹  of human hands under their wings.)

The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door.

Take the choice bone of the flock, heap up bones under it; boil rapidly, and boil its bones in it.

The inner court had a gate toward the south; he measured it from gate to gate toward the south as 175 feet. ¹ 

Four tables were on each side of the gate, eight tables on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

There were hooks ¹  three inches ²  long, fastened in the house all around, and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

Opposite the 35 feet ¹  that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, gallery faced gallery in the three stories.

Now the upper chambers were narrower, because the galleries took more space from them than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.

For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet ¹  long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet ²  long.

He will provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull, an ephah for each ram, and a gallon ¹  of olive oil for each ephah of grain. ² 

On the day of the new moon he will offer ¹  an unblemished young bull, and six lambs and a ram, all without blemish.

For when anyone from the house of Israel, or the foreigner who lives in Israel, separates himself from me and erects his idols in his heart and sets the obstacle leading to his iniquity before his face, and then consults a prophet to seek something from me, I the Lord am determined to answer him personally.

Then he brought me to the porch of the temple and measured the jambs of the porch as 8¾ feet ¹  on either side, and the width of the gate was 24½ feet ²  and the sides ³  were 5¼ feet ⁴  on each side.

The appearance of the wheels and their construction ¹  was like gleaming jasper, ²  and all four wheels looked alike. Their structure was like a wheel within a wheel. ³
