1
No ano vigésimo quinto do nosso exílio, no princípio do ano, no décimo dia do mês, catorze anos após ter caído a cidade, nesse mesmo dia, veio sobre mim a mão do Senhor, e ele me levou para lá.
2
Em visões, Deus me levou à terra de Israel e me pôs sobre um monte muito alto; sobre este havia um como edifício de cidade, para o lado sul.
3
Ele me levou para lá, e eis um homem cuja aparência era como a do bronze; estava de pé na porta e tinha na mão um cordel de linho e uma cana de medir.
4
Disse-me o homem: Filho do homem, vê com os próprios olhos, ouve com os próprios ouvidos; e põe no coração tudo quanto eu te mostrar, porque para isso foste trazido para aqui; anuncia, pois, à casa de Israel tudo quanto estás vendo.
5
Vi um muro exterior que rodeava toda a casa e, na mão do homem, uma cana de medir, de seis côvados, cada um dos quais media um côvado e quatro dedos. Ele mediu a largura do edifício, uma cana; e a altura, uma cana.
6
Então, veio à porta que olhava para o oriente e subiu pelos seus degraus; mediu o limiar da porta: uma cana de largura, e o outro limiar: uma cana de largura.
7
Cada câmara tinha uma cana de comprido e uma cana de largura; o espaço entre uma e outra câmara era de cinco côvados; o limiar da porta, junto ao vestíbulo da porta interior, tinha uma cana.
8
Também mediu o vestíbulo da porta interior: uma cana.
9
Então, mediu o vestíbulo da porta, que tinha oito côvados; e os seus pilares: dois côvados; o vestíbulo olha do interior da casa para a porta.
10
A porta para o lado oriental possuía três câmaras de cada lado, cuja medida era a mesma para cada uma; também os pilares deste lado e do outro mediam o mesmo.
11
Mediu mais a largura da entrada da porta, que era de dez côvados; a profundidade da entrada: treze côvados.
12
O espaço em frente das câmaras era de um côvado, e de um côvado, o espaço do outro lado; cada câmara tinha seis côvados em quadrado.
13
Então, mediu a porta desde a extremidade do teto de uma câmara até à da outra: vinte e cinco côvados de largura; e uma porta defronte da outra.
14
Mediu a distância até aos pilares, sessenta côvados, e o átrio se estendia até aos pilares em redor da porta.
15
Desde a dianteira da porta da entrada até à dianteira do vestíbulo da porta interior, havia cinquenta côvados.
16
Havia também janelas com fasquias fixas superpostas para as câmaras e para os pilares, e da mesma sorte, para os vestíbulos; as janelas estavam à roda pela parte de dentro, e nos pilares havia palmeiras esculpidas.
17
Ele me levou ao átrio exterior; e eis que havia nele câmaras e um pavimento feito no átrio em redor; defronte deste pavimento havia trinta câmaras.
18
O pavimento ao lado das portas era a par do comprimento das portas; era o pavimento inferior.
19
Então, mediu a largura desde a dianteira da porta inferior até à dianteira do átrio interior, por fora: cem côvados do lado leste e do norte.
20
Quanto à porta que olhava para o norte, no átrio exterior, ele mediu o seu comprimento e a sua largura.
21
As suas câmaras, três de um lado e três do outro, e os seus pilares, e os seus vestíbulos eram da medida do primeiro vestíbulo; de cinquenta côvados era o seu comprimento, e a largura, de vinte e cinco côvados.
22
As suas janelas, e os seus vestíbulos, e as suas palmeiras eram da medida da porta que olhava para o oriente; subia-se para ela por sete degraus, e o seu vestíbulo estava diante dela.
23
Essa porta do átrio interior estava defronte tanto da porta do norte como da do oriente; e mediu, de porta a porta, cem côvados.
24
Então, ele me levou para o lado sul, e eis que havia ali uma porta que olhava para o sul; e mediu os seus pilares e os seus vestíbulos, que tinham as mesmas dimensões.
25
Havia também janelas em redor dos seus vestíbulos, como as outras janelas; cinquenta côvados, o comprimento do vestíbulo, e a largura, vinte e cinco côvados.
26
De sete degraus eram as suas subidas, e os seus vestíbulos estavam diante deles; e tinha palmeiras esculpidas, uma de um lado e outra do outro, nos seus pilares.
27
Também havia uma porta no átrio interior para o sul; e mediu, de porta a porta, para o sul, cem côvados.
28
Então, me levou ao átrio interior pela porta do sul; e mediu a porta do sul, que tinha as mesmas dimensões.
29
As suas câmaras, e os seus pilares, e os seus vestíbulos eram segundo estas medidas; e tinham também janelas ao redor dos seus vestíbulos; o comprimento do vestíbulo era de cinquenta côvados, e a largura, de vinte e cinco côvados.
30
Havia vestíbulos em redor; o comprimento era de vinte e cinco côvados, e a largura, de cinco côvados.
31
Os seus vestíbulos olhavam para o átrio exterior, e havia palmeiras nos seus pilares; e de oito degraus eram as suas subidas.
32
Depois, me levou ao átrio interior, para o oriente, e mediu a porta, que tinha as mesmas dimensões.
33
Também as suas câmaras, e os seus pilares, e os seus vestíbulos, segundo estas medidas; havia também janelas em redor dos seus vestíbulos; o comprimento do vestíbulo era de cinquenta côvados, e a largura, de vinte e cinco côvados.
34
Os seus vestíbulos olhavam para o átrio exterior; também havia palmeiras nos seus pilares, de um e de outro lado; e eram as suas subidas de oito degraus.
35
Então, me levou à porta do norte e a mediu; tinha as mesmas dimensões.
36
Também as suas câmaras, e os seus pilares, e os seus vestíbulos, e as suas janelas em redor; o comprimento do vestíbulo era de cinquenta côvados, e a largura, de vinte e cinco côvados.
37
Os seus pilares olhavam para o átrio exterior; também havia palmeiras nos seus pilares, de um e de outro lado; e eram as suas subidas de oito degraus.
38
A sua câmara e a sua entrada estavam junto aos pilares dos vestíbulos onde lavavam o holocausto.
39
No vestíbulo da porta havia duas mesas de um lado e duas do outro, para nelas se degolar o holocausto e a oferta pelo pecado e pela culpa.
40
Também do lado de fora da subida para a entrada da porta do norte havia duas mesas; e, no outro lado do vestíbulo da porta, havia duas mesas.
41
Quatro mesas de um lado, e quatro do outro lado; junto à porta, oito mesas, sobre as quais imolavam.
42
As quatro mesas para o holocausto eram de pedras lavradas; o comprimento era de um côvado e meio, a largura, de um côvado e meio, e a altura, de um côvado; sobre elas se punham os instrumentos com que imolavam o holocausto e os sacrifícios.
43
Os ganchos, de quatro dedos de comprimento, estavam fixados por dentro ao redor, e sobre as mesas estava a carne da oblação.
44
Fora da porta interior estavam duas câmaras dos cantores, no átrio de dentro; uma, do lado da porta do norte, e olhava para o sul; outra, do lado da porta do sul, e olhava para o norte.
45
Ele me disse: Esta câmara que olha para o sul é para os sacerdotes que têm a guarda do templo.
46
Mas a câmara que olha para o norte é para os sacerdotes que têm a guarda do altar; são estes os filhos de Zadoque, os quais, dentre os filhos de Levi, se chegam ao Senhor para o servirem.
47
Ele mediu o átrio: comprimento, cem côvados, largura, cem côvados, um quadrado; o altar estava diante do templo.
48
Então, me levou ao vestíbulo do templo e mediu cada pilar do vestíbulo, cinco côvados de um lado e cinco do outro; e a largura da porta, três côvados de um lado e três do outro.
49
O comprimento do vestíbulo era de vinte côvados, e a largura, de onze; e era por degraus que se subia. Havia colunas junto aos pilares, uma de um lado e outra do outro.

2
In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city.
3
He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
4
The man said to me, "Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the people of Israel everything you see."
