| [1]In the five and twentieth year of our being in 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 self same day, the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me thither. |
[1]And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me |
| [2]Into the land of Israel brought he me by a divine vision, and set me upon a very high mountain, whereupon was as the building of a city, toward the south. |
[2]in a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it there was as it were the frame of a city before me. |
| [3]And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a man, whose similitude was to look to, like brass, with a linen thread in his hand, and a reed to measure with: and he stood at the gate. |
[3]And he brought me in thither, and, behold, there was a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder's line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at 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 show thee: for to the intent, that they might be showed thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest, unto the house of Israel. |
[4]And the man said to me, |
| [5]And behold, I saw a wall on the outside of the house round about: and in the man's hand was a reed to measure with, of six cubits long, by the cubit, and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building with one reed, and the height with one reed. |
[5]And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure of it was six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed. |
| [6]Then came he unto the gate, which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the post of the gate, which was one reed broad, and the other post of the gate, which was one reed broad. |
[6]And he entered by seven steps into the gate that looks eastward, and he measured across the porch of the gate equal to the reed. |
| [7]And every chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the chambers were five cubits: and the post of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed. |
[7]And the chamber was equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed; and the porch between the chambers six cubits; and the second chamber equal in breadth to the reed, and equal in length to the reed, and the porch five cubits. |
| [8]He measured also the porch of the gate within with one reed. |
