Ezequiel

  • Vision of the Man with a Measuring Rod

  • |Ezequiel 40:1| In the twenty-fifth year of our exile [in Babylon], in the beginning of the year, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city [of Jerusalem] was taken, on that [very] same day the hand of the LORD was upon me and He brought me there.

  • |Ezequiel 40:2| In the visions of God He brought me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain, on the south side of which there was what seemed to be a structure of a city.

  • |Ezequiel 40:3| So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man [an angel] whose appearance was like bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring1 rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway.

  • |Ezequiel 40:4| The man said to me, "Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears and set your heart on all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here that I may show it to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see."
  • Measurements Relating to the Temple

  • |Ezequiel 40:5| And behold, there was a wall all around the outside [area] of the temple (house) [of the LORD], and in the man's hand a measuring rod six cubits long (10.2 ft.),2 each3 cubit being longer than the4 standard one by a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

  • |Ezequiel 40:6| Then he went to the gate which faced the east and went up its [seven] steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and the other threshold [of the gate inside the thick wall] was one rod in width.

  • |Ezequiel 40:7| The guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide, and [the space] between the guardrooms was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch (portico) of the gate facing inward was one rod.

  • |Ezequiel 40:8| He also measured the porch of the gate facing inward [toward the temple of the LORD], one rod.

  • |Ezequiel 40:9| Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its side pillars, two cubits. The porch of the gate faced inward [toward the temple of the LORD].

  • |Ezequiel 40:10| There were three guardrooms on each side of the gate toward the east; the three were the same size, and the side pillars on each side measured the same.
