Then he brought me to the outer court. I saw ¹  chambers there, and a pavement made for the court all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement.

He measured the gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the other, a width of 43¾ feet ¹  from one entrance to the opposite one.

There were closed windows toward the alcoves and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. There were windows all around the inside, and on each jamb were decorative palm trees. 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 

you built yourself a chamber ¹  and put up a pavilion ²  in every public square.

From the front of the entrance gate to the porch of the inner gate was 87½ feet. ¹ 

and the chambers of the court was 35 feet ¹  in width all around the temple on every side.

Its length was 175 feet ¹  on the north side, ²  and its width 87½ feet. ³ 

When the priests enter, then they will not go out from the sanctuary to the outer court without taking off their garments in which they minister, for these are holy; they will put on other garments, then they will go near the places where the people are.”

He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front ¹  and back; ²  written on it were laments, mourning, and woe.

And he said to me, “Son of man, take all my words that I speak to you to heart and listen carefully.

He said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courtyards with corpses. Go!” So they went out and struck people down throughout the city.

For her blood was in it; she poured it on an exposed rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.

and her daughters ¹  who are in the field will be slaughtered by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

when they grasped you with their hand, ¹  you broke and tore ²  their shoulders, and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady. ³ 

He measured the court as a square 175 feet long and 175 feet wide; ¹  the altar was in front of the temple.

In front of the chambers was a walkway on the inner side, 17½ feet ¹  wide at a distance of 1¾ feet, ²  and their entrances were on the north.

Then the glory of the Lord arose from the cherub and moved to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud while the court was filled with the brightness of the Lord’s glory.

When you built your chamber at the head of every street and put up your pavilion in every public square, you were not like a prostitute, because you scoffed at payment. ¹ 

He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you.
