Ezekiel 33:1-33
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, 2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring
the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him
for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet,
and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He
heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he
that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and
blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person
from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the
watchman's hand. 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I
say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to
warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at thine hand. 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to
turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast
delivered thy soul.
10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak
unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon
us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 11 Say unto them, As I live,
saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked
turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O
house of Israel? 12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The
righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as
for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth
from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in
the day that he sinneth. 13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely
live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses
shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and
do that which is lawful and right; 15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again
that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall
surely live, he shall not die. 16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be
mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 17
Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them,
their way is not equal. 18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19 But if the wicked turn from his
wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. 20 Yet ye say,
The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after
his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year
of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that
one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. 22
Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and
had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I
was no more dumb. 23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 24 Son of man, they
that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he
inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. 25
Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your
eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? 26 Ye stand upon
your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall
ye possess the land? 27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I
live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is
in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in
the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 28 For I will lay the land most
desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be
desolate, that none shall pass through. 29 Then shall they know that I am the LORD,
when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have
committed.
30 Also, thou son of man, the children of
thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and
speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is
the word that cometh forth from the LORD. 31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh,
and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not
do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after
their covetousness. 32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one
that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words,
but they do them not. 33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they
know that a prophet hath been among them. (KJV)
34
Ezekiel 34:1-31
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel
that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 Ye eat the fat, and
ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick,
neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that
which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with
cruelty have ye ruled them. 5 And they were scattered, because there is no
shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 6
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was
scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word
of the LORD; 8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a
prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no
shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves,
and fed not my flock; 9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 10 Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock
at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds
feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not
be meat for them. 11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both
search my sheep, and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that
he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will
deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will
bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers,
and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and
upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good
fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 15 I will
feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek that
which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which
was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and
the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he
goats. 18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but
ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the
deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? 19 And as for my flock,
they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have
fouled with your feet. 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I,
will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21 Because ye have thrust
with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have
scattered them abroad; 22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a
prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 23 And I will set up one shepherd over
them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he
shall be their shepherd. 24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a
prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. 25 And I will make with them a
covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall
dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 26 And I will make them and the
places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his
season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27 And the tree of the field shall yield her
fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and
shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and
delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28 And they shall
no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but
they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. 29 And I will raise up
for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land,
neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD
their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are
my people, saith the Lord GOD. 31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men,
and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. (KJV)
35
Ezekiel 35:1-15
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 And
say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and
I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. 4 I will
lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the
LORD. 5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the
children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that
their iniquity had an end: 6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I
will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood,
even blood shall pursue thee. 7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off
from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 8 And I will fill his mountains with
his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they
fall that are slain with the sword. 9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy
cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Because thou hast said, These two
nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD
was there: 11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to
thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against
them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. 12 And thou shalt
know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which
thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are
given us to consume. 13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have
multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. 14 Thus saith the Lord GOD;
When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 15 As thou didst rejoice at the
inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou
shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall
know that I am the LORD. (KJV)
36
Ezekiel 36:1-38
1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the
mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: 2 Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high
places are ours in possession: 3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye
might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of
talkers, and are an infamy of the people: 4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear
the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to
the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are
forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round
about; 5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I
spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my
land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds,
to cast it out for a prey. 6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say
unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the
shame of the heathen: 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand,
Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. 8 But ye, O
mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people
of Israel; for they are at hand to come. 9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will
turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: 10 And I will multiply men upon you, all
the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the
wastes shall be builded: 11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall
increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better
unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 12
Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall
possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth
bereave them of men. 13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land
devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations; 14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no
more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD. 15 Neither will I cause men
to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the
reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more,
saith the Lord GOD.
16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying, 17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled
it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a
removed woman. 18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed
upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: 19 And I
scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according
to their way and according to their doings I judged them. 20 And when they entered unto
the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are
the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 21 But I had pity for mine
holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. 22
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for
your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among
the heathen, whither ye went. 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned
among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know
that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before
their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all
countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon
you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I
cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of
flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and
ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I
gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will also
save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it,
and lay no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase
of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. 31 Then
shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall
lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 32 Not
for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and
confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. 33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day
that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to
dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. 34 And the desolate land shall be
tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 35 And they shall say,
This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate
and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. 36 Then the heathen
that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant
that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. 37 Thus
saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to
do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. 38 As the holy flock,
as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with
flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD. (KJV)
37
Ezekiel 37:1-28
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and
carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which
was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there
were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said
unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear
the word of the LORD. 5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause
breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will
bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall
live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded:
and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together,
bone to his bone. 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and
the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9 Then said he unto
me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and
stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 11 Then he said unto me, Son of man,
these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our
hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up
out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I am
the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your
graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in
your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it,
saith the LORD.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto
me, saying, 16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For
Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write
upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his
companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in
thine hand. 18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt
thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and
the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick
of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 20 And the sticks
whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 21 And say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own
land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one
king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they
be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: 23 Neither shall they defile themselves any
more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their
transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have
sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 24 And
David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd:
they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25 And they
shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have
dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their
children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant
with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the
midst of them for evermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their
God, and they shall be my people. 28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do
sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. (KJV)
38
Ezekiel 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn
thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army,
horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great
company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia,
and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the
house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee. 7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are
assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back
from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of
Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they
shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be
like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 10
Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall
things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11 And thou shalt say, I
will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that
dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 12 To
take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are
now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which
have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, and Dedan,
and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art
thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away
silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say
unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,
shalt thou not know it? 15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north
parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company,
and a mighty army: 16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to
cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land,
that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their
eyes. 17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by
my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that
I would bring thee against them? 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog
shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come
up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the
fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all
creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face
of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the
steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21 And I will call for a
sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall
be against his brother. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood;
and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with
him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus will I
magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and
they shall know that I am the LORD. (KJV)
39
Ezekiel 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy
against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the
sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring
thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and
will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the
mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I
will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the
field to be devoured. 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord GOD. 6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell
carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So will I make
my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute
my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One
in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done,
saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in
the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the
shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and
they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the
field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons
with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them,
saith the Lord GOD. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the
sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog
and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. 12 And seven
months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown
the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD. 14 And they shall sever out men of
continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that
remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they
search. 15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a
man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the
valley of Hamongog. 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall
they cleanse the land. 17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather
yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great
sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 18 Ye
shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of
rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And ye shall
eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have
sacrificed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with
mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 21 And I will set my glory among
the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand
that I have laid upon them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD
their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the
house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against
me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so
fell they all by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their
transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole
house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26 After that they have borne their
shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt
safely in their land, and none made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them again
from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them
in the sight of many nations; 28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God,
which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them
unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. 29 Neither will I hide my
face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith
the Lord GOD. (KJV)

Ezekiel 40:1-49
1 In 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. 2 In 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. 3 And 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. 4 And 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.
5 And 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. 6 Then 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. 7 And 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. 8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. 9
Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits;
and the porch of the gate was inward. 10 And 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. 11 And he
measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the
gate, thirteen cubits. 12 The 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. 13 He 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. 14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even
unto the post of the court round about the gate. 15 And from the face of the gate of the
entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. 16 And 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. 17 Then 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. 18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the
gates was the lower pavement. 19 Then 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. 20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he
measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. 21 And 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. 22 And 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. 23 And 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. 24 After
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. 25 And 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. 26 And 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.
27 And there was a gate in the
inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an
hundred cubits. 28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured
the south gate according to these measures; 29 And 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. 30 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits
long, and five cubits broad. 31 And 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. 32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate
according to these measures. 33 And 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. 34 And 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. 35 And he brought me to the north gate, and
measured it according to these measures; 36 The 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. 37 And 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. 38 And the chambers and the
entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt
offering.
39 And 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. 40 And 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. 41 Four tables were on this side,
and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their
sacrifices. 42 And 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.
43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was
the flesh of the offering. 44 And 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. 45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward
the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. 46 And 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. 47 So he measured the court, an hundred
cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before
the house. 48 And 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. 49 The
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. (KJV)
41
Ezekiel 41:1-26
1 Afterward he brought me to the temple,
and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the
other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. 2 And the breadth of the door was
ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and
five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the
breadth, twenty cubits. 3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two
cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. 4 So he
measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the
temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. 5 After he
measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber,
four cubits, round about the house on every side. 6 And the side chambers were three,
one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of
the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not
hold in the wall of the house. 7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about
still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward
round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so
increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. 8 I saw also
the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a
full reed of six great cubits. 9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side
chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the
place of the side chambers that were within. 10 And between the chambers was the
wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. 11 And the doors of the
side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the
north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was
five cubits round about.
12 Now the building that was before
the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the
wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof
ninety cubits. 13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate
place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; 14 Also the
breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred
cubits. 15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place
which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other
side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; 16 The door
posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over
against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and
the windows were covered; 17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and
without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure. 18 And it was made
with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a
cherub; and every cherub had two faces; 19 So that the face of a man was toward
the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the
other side: it was made through all the house round about. 20 From the ground unto
above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the
temple. 21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the
sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. 22 The
altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the
corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and
he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD. 23 And the
temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two
turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm
trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon
the face of the porch without. 26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on
the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side
chambers of the house, and thick planks. (KJV)
42
Ezekiel 42:1-20
1 Then he brought me forth into the utter
court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over
against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north. 2
Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty
cubits. 3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and
over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against
gallery in three stories. 4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits
breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. 5 Now the upper
chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower,
and than the middlemost of the building. 6 For they were in three stories,
but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was
straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 7 And the wall that was
without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the
chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the chambers
that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were
an hundred cubits. 9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east
side, as one goeth into them from the utter court. 10 The chambers were in the
thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and
over against the building. 11 And the way before them was like the appearance of
the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as
they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according
to their doors. 12 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the
south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the
wall toward the east, as one entereth into them. 13 Then said he unto me, The north
chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be
holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy
things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin
offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. 14 When the priests
enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court,
but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy;
and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for
the people.
15 Now when he had made an end of
measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward
the east, and measured it round about. 16 He measured the east side with the measuring
reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 17 He measured the north
side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 18 He measured the south
side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. 19 He turned about to the west side, and
measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20 He measured it by the four
sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad,
to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. (KJV)
43
Ezekiel 43:1-27
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even
the gate that looketh toward the east: 2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel
came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and
the earth shined with his glory. 3 And it was according to the appearance of the
vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy
the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and
I fell upon my face. 4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the
gate whose prospect is toward the east. 5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me
into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. 6 And I heard him
speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the
place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst
of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more
defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of
their kings in their high places. 8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds,
and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my
holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them
in mine anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings,
far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. 10 Thou son of man, shew the
house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them
measure the pattern. 11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the
form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in
thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms
thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep
the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. 12 This is the
law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall
be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 And these are the measures of
the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the
bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the
edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place
of the altar. 14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower
settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even
to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four
horns. 16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in
the four squares thereof. 17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long
and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half
a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look
toward the east. 18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are
the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt
offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon. 19 And thou shalt give to the priests
the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me,
saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering. 20 And thou shalt take of the
blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the
settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it. 21 Thou
shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed
place of the house, without the sanctuary. 22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid
of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they
did cleanse it with the bullock. 23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing it,
thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without
blemish. 24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt
upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 25
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also
prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 26 Seven days shall
they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. 27 And when
these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward,
the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and
I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD. (KJV)
44
Ezekiel 44:1-31
1 Then he brought me back the way of the
gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 2
Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man
shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it,
therefore it shall be shut. 3 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it
to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate,
and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Then brought he me the way of the north
gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house
of the LORD: and I fell upon my face. 5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well,
and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning
all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the
entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary. 6 And thou shalt say to
the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of
Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations, 7 In that ye have brought into my
sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my
sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the
blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. 8 And ye have
not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my
sanctuary for yourselves. 9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart,
nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among
the children of Israel.
10 And the Levites that are gone away far
from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they
shall even bear their iniquity. 11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge
at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt
offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister
unto them. 12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house
of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith
the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not come near unto me,
to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the
most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they
have committed. 14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the
service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein. 15 But the priests the Levites,
the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went
astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand
before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: 16 They shall enter
into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they
shall keep my charge.
17 And it shall come to pass, that when
they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments;
and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court,
and within. 18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen
breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that
causeth sweat. 19 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter
court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay
them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not
sanctify the people with their garments. 20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor
suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. 21 Neither shall any
priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 22 Neither shall they take for
their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of
the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before. 23 And they shall teach my
people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern
between the unclean and the clean. 24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and
they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my
statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 25 And they shall come
at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for
daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. 27 And in the day that
he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall
offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD. 28 And it shall be unto them for an
inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in
Israel: I am their possession. 29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin
offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all,
of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the
priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house. 31
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl
or beast. (KJV)
45
Ezekiel 45:1-25
1 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot
the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the
land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and
the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders
thereof round about. 2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length,
with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for
the suburbs thereof. 3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and
twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the
most holy place. 4 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the
ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall
be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary. 5 And the five and
twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the
ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers. 6 And
ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty
thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the
whole house of Israel. 7 And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and
on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the
city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the
city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall
be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. 8 In
the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my
people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according
to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice
you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice,
take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. 10 Ye shall have just
balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one
measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth
part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer. 12 And the shekel shall
be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be
your maneh.
13 This is the oblation that ye
shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth
part of an ephah of an homer of barley: 14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of
oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an
homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer: 15 And one lamb out of the flock,
out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a
burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord
GOD. 16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. 17
And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and
drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all
solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat
offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the
house of Israel. 18 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day
of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the
sanctuary: 19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon
the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the
posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of
the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye
reconcile the house. 21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye
shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 And
upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a
bullock for a sin offering. 23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt
offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days;
and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. 24 And he shall prepare a meat
offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an
ephah. 25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the
like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt
offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil. (KJV)
46
Ezekiel 46:1-24
1 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the
inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2 And the
prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by
the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace
offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but
the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3 Likewise the people of the land shall
worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons. 4
And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall
be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 5 And the meat offering shall
be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to
give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 6 And in the day of the new moon it shall be a
young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish. 7
And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and
for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 8
And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate,
and he shall go forth by the way thereof. 9 But when the people of the land shall come
before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to
worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the
south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of
the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it. 10 And the prince in the
midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. 11
And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock,
and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an
ephah. 12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings
voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the
east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the
sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the
gate. 13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the
first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning. 14 And thou shalt prepare
a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an
hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual
ordinance unto the LORD. 15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and
the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince
give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall
be their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one
of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the
prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them. 18 Moreover the prince shall not
take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but
he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not
scattered every man from his possession.
19 After he brought me through the entry,
which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which
looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the
trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they
bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people. 21 Then he brought
me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court;
and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. 22 In the four corners
of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad:
these four corners were of one measure. 23 And there was a row of
building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with
boiling places under the rows round about. 24 Then said he unto me, These are the
places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the
people. (KJV)
47
Ezekiel 47:1-23
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the
door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came
down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. 2
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without
unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on
the right side. 3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he
measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to
the ankles. 4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were
to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were
to the loins. 5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I
could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not
be passed over. 6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he
brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. 7 Now when I had returned,
behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the
other. 8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down
into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the
waters shall be healed. 9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth,
which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very
great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be
healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. 10 And it shall come to pass,
that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be
a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the
fish of the great sea, exceeding many. 11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes
thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. 12 And by the river upon the
bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf
shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new
fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and
the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall
be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of
Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. 14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as
another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers:
and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance. 15 And this shall be the border
of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to
Zedad; 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and
the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 17 And the
border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward,
and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side. 18 And the east side ye shall
measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by
Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side. 19 And
the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh,
the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward. 20 The west side
also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath.
This is the west side. 21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the
tribes of Israel. 22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for
an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget
children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children
of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it
shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give
him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD. (KJV)
48
Ezekiel 48:1-35
1 Now these are the names of the
tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath,
Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his
sides east and west; a portion for Dan. 2 And by the border of Dan, from the
east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher. 3 And by the border of Asher,
from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali. 4 And by the
border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion
for Reuben. 7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion
for Judah. 8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall
be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth,
and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west
side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 9 The oblation that ye shall offer
unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand
in breadth. 10 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy
oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west
ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south
five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst
thereof. 11 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok;
which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray,
as the Levites went astray. 12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall
be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. 13 And over against the
border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length,
and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and
the breadth ten thousand. 14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate
the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD. 15 And the five
thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be
a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be
in the midst thereof. 16 And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side
four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on
the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five
hundred. 17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty,
and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and
toward the west two hundred and fifty. 18 And the residue in length over against the
oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand
westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the
increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city. 19 And they that serve
the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. 20 All the oblation shall be five
and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation
foursquare, with the possession of the city. 21 And the residue shall be for the
prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of
the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east
border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border,
over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the
sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof. 22 Moreover from the
possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of
that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin,
shall be for the prince. 23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the
west side, Benjamin shall have a portion. 24 And by the border of Benjamin,
from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion. 25 And
by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from
Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward
the great sea. 29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of
Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD. 30 And
these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five
hundred measures.
31 And the gates of the city shall be after
the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of
Judah, one gate of Levi. 32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three
gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan. 33 And at the south
side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one
gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun. 34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred,
with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city
from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
