and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. 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 Hamon-gog. A 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 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. b 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 E 17 And, thou son of man, thus again from the people, and gathered saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto them out of their enemies lands, every feathered fowl, and to every and am sanctified in them in the beast of the field, Assemble your-sight of many nations; selves, and come; gather yourselves t 28 Then shall they know that I 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 shalt 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. am the LORD their God, which caus ed 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. b 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. Ν CHAP. XL. 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 self-same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. r 21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have exe-v 2 In the visions of God brought cuted, and my hand that I have laid he me into the land of Israel, and upon them. set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 3 And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a man, whose ap-I 13 He measured then the gate pearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed;

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. f 16 And there were narrow win5 And behold a wall on the out-dows to the little chambers, and to side of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and a hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed: and the height, one reed. v 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. f 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. f11 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 litthe chamber 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. their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palmtrees. v17 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, a hundred cubits eastward and northward. f 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 a hundred cubits, 24 After that he brought me 35 ¶ And he brought me to the toward the south, and behold a gate north gate, and measured it accordtoward the south: and he measuring 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. 38 And the chambers, and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burntoffering. T 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 cere of 31 And the arches thereof were hewn stone for the burnt-offering, of toward the outer court; and palm-a cubit and a half long, and a cubit trees were upon the posts thereof and a half broad, and one cubit high: and the going up to it had eight whereupon also they laid the instrusteps. ments wherewith they slew the burntoffering and the sacrifice. 4 43 And within were books, a hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering. 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 v 44 T And without the inner gate arches thereof, were according to were the chambers of the singers in these measures: and there were win- the inner court, which was at the dows therein and in the arches thereof side of the north gate; and their round about: it was fifty cubits long, prospect was toward the south one and five and twenty cubits broad. at the side of the east gate having 34 And the arches thereof were the prospect toward the north. -toward the outward court; and 45 And he said unto me, This palm-trees were upon the posts there- chamber, whose prospect is toward of, on this side, and on that side: the south, is for the priests, the keepand the going up to it had eight steps.ers of the charge of the house. 46 And the chamber whose pros- three, one over another, and thirty pect is toward the north, is for the in order; and they entered into the priests, the keepers of the charge of wall which was of the house for the the altar these are the sons of Za-side-chambers round about, that they dok among the sons of Levi, which might have hold, but they had not come near to the LORD to minister hold in the wall of the house. unto himi 47 So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, four square; 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 sters whereby they went up to it and there rere pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
