{\MT The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel



\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now it came to pass in the
thirtieth
year, in the
fourth
{\ADD{month}}, in the
fifth
{\ADD{day}} of the
month, as I
{\ADD{was}}
among the
captives by the
river of
Chebar,
{\ADD{that}} the
heavens were
opened, and I
saw
visions of
God.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:1 }{\FT{captives: Heb. captivity}}}

\VS{2}In the
fifth
{\ADD{day}} of the
month, which
{\ADD{was}} the
fifth
year of
king
Jehoiachin’s
captivity,

\VS{3}The
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} came expressly unto
Ezekiel the
priest, the
son of
Buzi, in the
land of the
Chaldeans by the
river
Chebar; and the
hand of the
{\ND{LORD}} was there upon him.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:3 }{\FT{Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{4}¶ And I
looked, and, behold, a
whirlwind
came out of the
north, a
great
cloud, and a
fire
infolding itself, and a
brightness
{\ADD{was}}
about it, and out of the
midst thereof as the
colour of
amber, out of the
midst of the
fire.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:4 }{\FT{infolding…: Heb. catching itself}}}

\VS{5}Also out of the
midst thereof
{\ADD{came}} the
likeness of
four living
creatures. And this
{\ADD{was}} their
appearance;
they had the
likeness of a
man.

\VS{6}And every
one had
four
faces, and every
one had
four
wings.

\VS{7}And their
feet
{\ADD{were}}
straight
feet; and the
sole of their
feet
{\ADD{was}} like the
sole of a
calf’s
foot: and they
sparkled like the
colour of
burnished
brass.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:7 }{\FT{straight…: Heb. a straight foot}}}

\VS{8}And
{\ADD{they had}} the
hands of a
man under their
wings on their
four
sides; and they
four had their
faces and their
wings.

\VS{9}Their
wings
{\ADD{were}}
joined
one to
another; they
turned not when they
went; they
went every
one
straight
forward.

\VS{10}As for the
likeness of their
faces, they
four had the
face of a
man, and the
face of a
lion, on the right
side: and they
four had the
face of an
ox on the left
side; they
four also had the
face of an
eagle.

\VS{11}Thus
{\ADD{were}} their
faces: and their
wings
{\ADD{were}}
stretched
upward;
two
{\ADD{wings}} of every
one
{\ADD{were}}
joined
one to
another, and
two
covered their
bodies.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 1:11 }{\FT{stretched…: or, divided above}}}

\VS{12}And they
went every
one
straight
forward: whither the
spirit was to
go, they
went;
{\ADD{and}} they
turned not when they
went.

\VS{13}As for the
likeness of the living
creatures, their
appearance
{\ADD{was}} like
burning
coals of
fire,
{\ADD{and}} like the
appearance of
lamps: it went up and
down among the living
creatures; and the
fire was
bright, and out of the
fire went
forth
lightning.

\VS{14}And the living
creatures
ran and
returned as the
appearance of a flash of
lightning.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}¶ Now as I
beheld the living
creatures, behold
one
wheel upon the
earth
by the living
creatures, with his
four
faces.

\VS{16}The
appearance of the
wheels and their
work
{\ADD{was}} like unto the
colour of a
beryl: and they
four had
one
likeness: and their
appearance and their
work
{\ADD{was}} as it were a
wheel in the
middle of a
wheel.

\VS{17}When they
went, they
went upon their
four
sides:
{\ADD{and}} they
turned not when they
went.

\VS{18}As for their
rings, they were so
high that they were
dreadful; and their
rings
{\ADD{were}}
full of
eyes round
about them
four.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 1:18 }{\FT{and their rings: or, and their strakes}}}

\VS{19}And when the living
creatures
went, the
wheels
went by
them: and when the living
creatures were lifted
up from the
earth, the
wheels were lifted
up.

\VS{20}Whithersoever the
spirit was to
go, they
went, thither
{\ADD{was their}}
spirit to
go; and the
wheels were lifted
up over
against them: for the
spirit of the living
creature
{\ADD{was}} in the
wheels.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 1:20 }{\FT{of…: or, of life}}}

\VS{21}When those
went,
{\ADD{these}}
went; and when those
stood,
{\ADD{these}}
stood; and when those were lifted
up from the
earth, the
wheels were lifted
up over
against them: for the
spirit of the living
creature
{\ADD{was}} in the
wheels.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 1:21 }{\FT{of…: or, of life}}}

\VS{22}And the
likeness of the
firmament upon the
heads of the living
creature
{\ADD{was}} as the
colour of the
terrible
crystal, stretched
forth over their
heads
above.

\VS{23}And under the
firmament
{\ADD{were}} their
wings
straight, the
one toward the
other: every
one had
two, which
covered on this
side, and every
one had
two, which
covered on that
side, their
bodies.

\VS{24}And when they
went, I
heard the
noise of their
wings, like the
noise of
great
waters, as the
voice of the
Almighty, the
voice of
speech, as the
noise of an
host: when they
stood, they let
down their
wings.

\VS{25}And there was a
voice from the
firmament that
{\ADD{was}} over their
heads, when they
stood,
{\ADD{and}} had let
down their
wings.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}¶ And
above the
firmament that
{\ADD{was}} over their
heads
{\ADD{was}} the
likeness of a
throne, as the
appearance of a
sapphire
stone: and upon the
likeness of the
throne
{\ADD{was}} the
likeness as the
appearance of a
man
above upon it.

\VS{27}And I
saw as the
colour of
amber, as the
appearance of
fire round
about
within it, from the
appearance of his
loins even
upward, and from the
appearance of his
loins even
downward, I
saw as it were the
appearance of
fire, and it had
brightness round
about.

\VS{28}As the
appearance of the
bow that is in the
cloud in the
day of
rain, so
{\ADD{was}} the
appearance of the
brightness round
about. This
{\ADD{was}} the
appearance of the
likeness of the
glory of the
{\ND{LORD}}. And when I
saw
{\ADD{it}}, I
fell upon my
face, and I
heard a
voice of one that
spake.




\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And he
said unto me,
Son of
man,
stand upon thy
feet, and I will
speak unto thee.

\VS{2}And the
spirit
entered into me when he
spake unto me, and
set me upon my
feet, that I
heard him that
spake unto me.

\VS{3}And he
said unto me,
Son of
man, I
send thee to the
children of
Israel, to a
rebellious
nation that hath
rebelled against me: they and their
fathers have
transgressed against me,
{\ADD{even}} unto this
very
day.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:3 }{\FT{nation: Heb. nations}}}

\VS{4}For
{\ADD{they are}}
impudent
children and
stiffhearted. I do
send thee unto them; and thou shalt
say unto them, Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:4 }{\FT{impudent: Heb. hard of face}}}

\VS{5}And they, whether they will
hear, or whether they will
forbear, (for they
{\ADD{are}} a
rebellious
house,) yet shall
know that there hath been a
prophet
among them.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}¶ And thou,
son of
man, be not
afraid of them, neither be
afraid of their
words, though
briers and
thorns
{\ADD{be}} with thee, and thou dost
dwell among
scorpions: be not
afraid of their
words, nor be
dismayed at their
looks, though they
{\ADD{be}} a
rebellious
house.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:6 }{\FT{briers…: or, rebels}}}

\VS{7}And thou shalt
speak my
words unto them, whether they will
hear, or whether they will
forbear: for they
{\ADD{are}} most
rebellious.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:7 }{\FT{most…: Heb. rebellion}}}

\VS{8}But thou,
son of
man,
hear what I
say unto thee; Be
not thou
rebellious like that
rebellious
house:
open thy
mouth, and
eat that I
give thee.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And when I
looked, behold, an
hand
{\ADD{was}}
sent unto me; and, lo, a
roll of a
book
{\ADD{was}} therein;

\VS{10}And he
spread it
before me; and it
{\ADD{was}}
written
within and
without: and
{\ADD{there was}}
written therein
lamentations, and
mourning, and
woe.




\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Moreover he
said unto me,
Son of
man,
eat that thou
findest;
eat this
roll, and
go
speak unto the
house of
Israel.

\VS{2}So I
opened my
mouth, and he caused me to
eat that
roll.

\VS{3}And he
said unto me,
Son of
man, cause thy
belly to
eat, and
fill thy
bowels with this
roll that I
give thee. Then did I
eat
{\ADD{it;}} and it was in my
mouth as
honey for
sweetness.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}¶ And he
said unto me,
Son of
man,
go,
get thee unto the
house of
Israel, and
speak with my
words unto them.

\VS{5}For thou
{\ADD{art}} not
sent to a
people of a
strange
speech and of an
hard
language,
{\ADD{but}} to the
house of
Israel;\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:5 }{\FT{of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue}}}

\VS{6}Not to
many
people of a
strange
speech and of an
hard
language, whose
words thou canst not
understand. Surely, had I
sent thee to them, they would have
hearkened unto thee.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 3:6 }{\FT{of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language}}}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3:6 }{\FT{Surely…: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?}}}

\VS{7}But the
house of
Israel
will not
hearken unto thee; for they
will not
hearken unto me: for all the
house of
Israel
{\ADD{are}}
impudent and
hardhearted.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 3:7 }{\FT{impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}}}

\VS{8}Behold, I have
made thy
face
strong
against their
faces, and thy
forehead
strong
against their
foreheads.

\VS{9}As an
adamant
harder than
flint have I
made thy
forehead:
fear them not, neither be
dismayed at their
looks, though they
{\ADD{be}} a
rebellious
house.

\VS{10}Moreover he
said unto me,
Son of
man, all my
words that I shall
speak unto thee
receive in thine
heart, and
hear with thine
ears.

\VS{11}And
go,
get thee to them of the
captivity, unto the
children of thy
people, and
speak unto them, and
tell them, Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; whether they will
hear, or whether they will
forbear.

\VS{12}Then the
spirit took me
up, and I
heard
behind me a
voice of a
great
rushing,
{\ADD{saying}},
Blessed
{\ADD{be}} the
glory of the
{\ND{LORD}} from his
place.

\VS{13}{\ADD{I heard}} also the
noise of the
wings of the living
creatures that
touched
one
another, and the
noise of the
wheels over
against them, and a
noise of a
great
rushing.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 3:13 }{\FT{touched: Heb. kissed}}}

\VS{14}So the
spirit lifted me
up, and took me
away, and I
went in
bitterness, in the
heat of my
spirit; but the
hand of the
{\ND{LORD}} was
strong upon me.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 3:14 }{\FT{in bitterness: Heb. bitter}}}\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 3:14 }{\FT{heat: Heb. hot anger}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}¶ Then I
came to them of the
captivity at
Tel-abib, that
dwelt by the
river of
Chebar, and I
sat where they
sat, and
remained there
astonished
among them
seven
days.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And it came to pass at the
end of
seven
days, that the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} came unto me,
saying,

\VS{17}Son of
man, I have
made thee a
watchman unto the
house of
Israel: therefore
hear the
word at my
mouth, and give them
warning from me.

\VS{18}When I
say unto the
wicked, Thou shalt
surely
die; and thou givest him not
warning, nor
speakest to
warn the
wicked from his
wicked
way, to save his
life; the same
wicked
{\ADD{man}} shall
die in his
iniquity; but his
blood will I
require at thine
hand.

\VS{19}Yet if thou
warn the
wicked, and he
turn not from his
wickedness, nor from his
wicked
way, he shall
die in his
iniquity; but thou hast
delivered thy
soul.

\VS{20}Again, When a
righteous
{\ADD{man}} doth
turn from his
righteousness, and
commit
iniquity, and I
lay a
stumblingblock
before him, he shall
die: because thou hast not given him
warning, he shall
die in his
sin, and his
righteousness which he hath
done shall not be
remembered; but his
blood will I
require at thine
hand.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 3:20 }{\FT{righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}}}

\VS{21}Nevertheless if thou
warn the
righteous
{\ADD{man}}, that the
righteous
sin not, and he doth not
sin, he shall
surely
live, because he is
warned; also thou hast
delivered thy
soul.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}¶ And the
hand of the
{\ND{LORD}} was there upon me; and he
said unto me,
Arise, go
forth into the
plain, and I will there
talk with thee.

\VS{23}Then I
arose, and went
forth into the
plain: and, behold, the
glory of the
{\ND{LORD}}
stood there, as the
glory which I
saw by the
river of
Chebar: and I
fell on my
face.

\VS{24}Then the
spirit
entered into me, and
set me upon my
feet, and
spake with me, and
said unto me,
Go,
shut thyself
within thine
house.

\VS{25}But thou, O
son of
man, behold, they shall
put
bands upon thee, and shall
bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go
out
among them:

\VS{26}And I will make thy
tongue
cleave to the roof of thy
mouth, that thou shalt be
dumb, and shalt not be to them a
reprover: for they
{\ADD{are}} a
rebellious
house.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 3:26 }{\FT{a reprover: Heb. a man reproving}}}

\VS{27}But when I
speak
with thee, I will
open thy
mouth, and thou shalt
say unto them, Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; He that
heareth, let him
hear; and he that
forbeareth, let him
forbear: for they
{\ADD{are}} a
rebellious
house.




\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thou also,
son of
man,
take thee a
tile, and
lay it
before thee, and
pourtray upon it the
city,
{\ADD{even}}
Jerusalem:

\VS{2}And
lay
siege against it, and
build a
fort against it, and
cast a
mount against it;
set the
camp also against it, and
set
{\ADD{battering}}
rams against it round
about.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 4:2 }{\FT{battering…: chief leaders}}}

\VS{3}Moreover
take thou unto thee an
iron
pan, and
set it
{\ADD{for}} a
wall of
iron between thee and the
city: and
set thy
face against it, and it shall be
besieged, and thou shalt lay
siege against it. This
{\ADD{shall be}} a
sign to the
house of
Israel.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4:3 }{\FT{an…: or, a flat plate, or, slice}}}

\VS{4}Lie thou also upon thy
left
side, and
lay the
iniquity of the
house of
Israel upon it:

number of the
days that thou shalt
lie upon it thou shalt
bear their
iniquity.

laid upon thee the
years of their
iniquity, according to the
number of the
days,
three
hundred and
ninety
days: so shalt thou
bear the
iniquity of the
house of
Israel.

\VS{6}And when thou hast
accomplished
them,
lie
again on thy
right
side, and thou shalt
bear the
iniquity of the
house of
Judah
forty
days: I have
appointed thee each
day for a
year.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4:6 }{\FT{each…: Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year}}}

\VS{7}Therefore thou shalt
set thy
face toward the
siege of
Jerusalem, and thine
arm
{\ADD{shall be}}
uncovered, and thou shalt
prophesy against it.

\VS{8}And, behold, I will
lay
bands upon thee, and thou shalt not
turn thee from one
side to
another, till thou hast
ended the
days of thy
siege.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 4:8 }{\FT{from one…: Heb. from thy side to thy side}}}

Take thou also unto thee
wheat, and
barley, and

put them in
one
vessel, and
make thee
bread thereof,
{\ADD{according}} to the
number of the
days that thou shalt
lie upon thy

hundred and
ninety
days shalt thou
eat thereof.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 4:9 }{\FT{fitches: or, spelt}}}

drink also
water by

drink.

eat it

bake it with
dung that cometh
out of

sight.

\VS{13}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said, Even thus shall the
children of
Israel
eat their
defiled
bread among the
Gentiles, whither I will
drive them.

\VS{14}Then
said I,
Ah
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}! behold, my
soul hath not been
polluted: for from my
youth up even till now have I not
eaten of that which dieth of
itself, or is torn in
pieces; neither
came there
abominable
flesh into my
mouth.

said unto me,
Lo, I have
given thee
cow’s
dung for
man’s
dung, and thou shalt
prepare thy
bread therewith.

\VS{16}Moreover he
said unto me,
Son of
man, behold, I will
break the
staff of
bread in
Jerusalem: and they shall
eat
bread by
weight, and with
care; and they shall
drink
water by
measure, and with
astonishment:

want
bread and
water, and be
astonied
one with
another, and consume
away for their
iniquity.

man,
take thee a
sharp
knife,
take thee a

razor, and cause

pass upon thine
head and upon thy
beard: then
take thee
balances to
weigh, and
divide the

burn with
fire a third

saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; This
{\ADD{is}}
Jerusalem: I have
set it in the
midst of the
nations and
countries
{\ADD{that are}} round
about her.

\VS{6}And she hath
changed my
judgments into
wickedness more than the
nations, and my
statutes more than the
countries that
{\ADD{are}} round
about her: for they have
refused my
judgments and my
statutes, they have not
walked in them.

\VS{7}Therefore thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Because ye
multiplied more than the
nations that
{\ADD{are}} round
about you,
{\ADD{and}} have not
walked in my
statutes, neither have
kept my
judgments, neither have
done according to the
judgments of the
nations that
{\ADD{are}} round
about you;

\VS{8}Therefore thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Behold, I, even I,
{\ADD{am}} against thee, and will
execute
judgments in the
midst of thee in the
sight of the
nations.

\VS{9}And I will
do in thee that which I have not
done, and whereunto I will not
do any more the like,
because of all thine
abominations.

\VS{10}Therefore the
fathers shall
eat the
sons in the
midst of thee, and the
sons shall
eat their
fathers; and I will
execute
judgments in thee, and the whole
remnant of thee will I
scatter into all the
winds.

\VS{11}Wherefore,
{\ADD{as}} I
live,
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Surely, because thou hast
defiled my
sanctuary with all thy detestable
things, and with all thine
abominations, therefore will I also
diminish
{\ADD{thee;}} neither shall mine
eye
spare, neither will I have any
pity.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}¶ A third
part of thee shall
die with the
pestilence, and with
famine shall they be
consumed in the
midst of thee: and a third
part shall
fall by the
sword round
about thee; and I will
scatter a third
part into all the
winds, and I will draw
out a
sword
after them.

\VS{13}Thus shall mine
anger be
accomplished, and I will cause my
fury to
rest upon them, and I will be
comforted: and they shall
know that I the
{\ND{LORD}} have
spoken
{\ADD{it}} in my
zeal, when I have
accomplished my
fury in them.

\VS{14}Moreover I will
make thee
waste, and a
reproach among the
nations that
{\ADD{are}} round
about thee, in the
sight of all that pass
by.

\VS{15}So it shall be a
reproach and a
taunt, an
instruction and an
astonishment unto the
nations that
{\ADD{are}} round
about thee, when I shall
execute
judgments in thee in
anger and in
fury and in
furious
rebukes. I the
{\ND{LORD}} have
spoken
{\ADD{it}}.

\VS{16}When I shall
send upon them the
evil
arrows of
famine, which shall be for
{\ADD{their}}
destruction,
{\ADD{and}} which I will
send to
destroy you: and I will
increase the
famine upon you, and will
break your
staff of
bread:

\VS{17}So will I
send upon you
famine and
evil
beasts, and they shall
bereave thee; and
pestilence and
blood shall pass
through thee; and I will
bring the
sword upon thee. I the

spoken
{\ADD{it}}.

\VS{3}And he put
forth the

multiplied thy

satisfied
herewith.

saith the

given unto thee, therefore thou
art
contrary.

gather all thy

loved, with all

hated; I will even
gather them round
about against thee, and will
discover thy
nakedness unto them, that they may
see all thy

\VS{38}And I will
judge thee, as women that break

take thy

leave thee
naked and

burn thine

execute

cease from playing the
harlot, and thou also shalt
give no

\VS{42}So will I make my
fury toward thee to
rest, and my
jealousy shall
depart from thee, and I will be
quiet, and will be no more
angry.

saith the

came unto

took the highest

\VS{4}He cropped
off the

took also of the
seed of the

vine, and brought
forth
branches, and
shot forth
sprigs.

\VS{7}There was also
another
great
eagle with
great
wings and
many
feathers: and, behold, this
vine did
bend her
roots toward him, and shot
forth her
branches toward him, that he might
water it by the
furrows of her
plantation.

\VS{8}It was
planted in a
good
soil by
great
waters, that it might bring
forth
branches, and that it might
bear
fruit, that it might be a
goodly
vine.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 17:8 }{\FT{soil: Heb. field}}}

wither? it shall
wither in all the

up by the

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} came again unto me,
saying,

\VS{2}Son of
man, there were
two
women, the
daughters of
one
mother:

\VS{3}And they committed
whoredoms in
Egypt; they committed
whoredoms in their
youth: there were their
breasts
pressed, and there they
bruised the
teats of their
virginity.

\VS{4}And the
names of them
{\ADD{were}}
Aholah the
elder, and
Aholibah her
sister: and they were mine, and they
bare
sons and
daughters. Thus
{\ADD{were}} their
names;
Samaria

Aholah, and
Jerusalem
Aholibah.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 23:4 }{\FT{Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle}}}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 23:4 }{\FT{Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}}}

\VS{5}And
Aholah played the

doted on her
lovers, on the
Assyrians
{\ADD{her}}
neighbours,

\VS{6}{\ADD{Which were}}
clothed with
blue,
captains and
rulers, all of them
desirable young
men,
horsemen
riding upon
horses.

\VS{7}Thus she
committed her
whoredoms with them, with all them
{\ADD{that were}} the
chosen
men of
Assyria, and with all on whom she
doted: with all their
idols she
defiled herself.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 23:7 }{\FT{committed…: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them}}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 23:7 }{\FT{the chosen…: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}}}

\VS{8}Neither
left she her
whoredoms
{\ADD{brought}} from
Egypt: for in her
youth they
lay with her, and they
bruised the
breasts of her
virginity, and
poured their
whoredom upon her.

\VS{9}Wherefore I have
delivered her into the
hand of her
lovers, into the
hand of the
Assyrians, upon whom she
doted.

\VS{10}These
discovered her
nakedness: they
took her
sons and her
daughters, and
slew her with the
sword: and she became
famous among
women; for they had
executed
judgment upon her.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 23:10 }{\FT{famous: Heb. a name}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And when her
sister
Aholibah
saw
{\ADD{this}}, she was more
corrupt in her inordinate
love than she, and in her
whoredoms more than her
sister in
{\ADD{her}}
whoredoms.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 23:11 }{\FT{she was…: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc}}}\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 23:11 }{\FT{more than…: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}}}

doted upon the
Assyrians
{\ADD{her}}
neighbours,
captains and

clothed most
gorgeously,
horsemen
riding upon
horses, all of them
desirable young
men.

\VS{13}Then I
saw that she was
defiled,
{\ADD{that}} they
{\ADD{took}}
both
one
way,

\VS{14}And
{\ADD{that}} she
increased her
whoredoms: for when she
saw
men
pourtrayed upon the
wall, the
images of the
Chaldeans
pourtrayed with
vermilion,

\VS{15}Girded with
girdles upon their
loins,
exceeding in dyed
attire upon their
heads, all of them
princes to look
to, after the
manner of the
Babylonians of
Chaldea, the
land of their
nativity:

\VS{16}And as soon as she
saw them with her
eyes, she
doted upon them, and
sent
messengers unto them into
Chaldea.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 23:16 }{\FT{as soon…: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}}}

\VS{17}And the
Babylonians
came to her into the
bed of
love, and they
defiled her with their
whoredom, and she was
polluted with them, and her
mind was
alienated from them.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 23:17 }{\FT{Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel}}}\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 23:17 }{\FT{alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}}}

\VS{18}So she
discovered her
whoredoms, and
discovered her
nakedness: then my
mind was
alienated from her, like as my
mind was
alienated from her
sister.

\VS{19}Yet she
multiplied her
whoredoms, in calling to
remembrance the
days of her
youth, wherein she had played the
harlot in the
land of
Egypt.

\VS{20}For she
doted upon their
paramours, whose
flesh
{\ADD{is as}} the
flesh of
asses, and whose
issue
{\ADD{is like}} the
issue of
horses.

\VS{21}Thus thou calledst to
remembrance the
lewdness of thy
youth, in
bruising thy
teats by the
Egyptians for the
paps of thy
youth.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}¶ Therefore, O
Aholibah, thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Behold, I will raise
up thy
lovers against thee, from whom thy
mind is
alienated, and I will
bring them against thee on every
side;

\VS{23}The
Babylonians, and all the
Chaldeans,
Pekod, and
Shoa, and
Koa,
{\ADD{and}} all the
Assyrians with them: all of them
desirable young
men,
captains and
rulers, great
lords and
renowned, all of them
riding upon
horses.

\VS{24}And they shall
come against thee with
chariots,
wagons, and
wheels, and with an
assembly of
people,
{\ADD{which}} shall
set against thee
buckler and
shield and
helmet round
about: and I will
set
judgment
before them, and they shall
judge thee according to their
judgments.

\VS{25}And I will
set my
jealousy against thee, and they shall
deal
furiously with thee: they shall take
away thy
nose and thine
ears; and thy
remnant shall
fall by the
sword: they shall
take thy
sons and thy
daughters; and thy
residue shall be
devoured by the
fire.

\VS{26}They shall also
strip thee out of thy
clothes, and take
away thy
fair
jewels.\FTNT{‡‡‡}{{\FR 23:26 }{\FT{fair…: Heb. instruments of thy decking}}}

\VS{27}Thus will I make thy
lewdness to
cease from thee, and thy
whoredom
{\ADD{brought}} from the
land of
Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift
up thine
eyes unto them, nor
remember
Egypt any more.

\VS{28}For thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Behold, I will
deliver thee into the
hand
{\ADD{of them}} whom thou
hatest, into the
hand
{\ADD{of them}} from whom thy
mind is
alienated:

\VS{29}And they shall
deal with thee
hatefully, and shall take
away all thy
labour, and shall
leave thee
naked and
bare: and the
nakedness of thy
whoredoms shall be
discovered, both thy
lewdness and thy
whoredoms.

\VS{30}I will
do these
{\ADD{things}} unto thee, because thou hast gone a
whoring
after the
heathen,
{\ADD{and}} because thou art
polluted with their
idols.

\VS{31}Thou hast
walked in the
way of thy
sister; therefore will I
give her
cup into thine
hand.

\VS{32}Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Thou shalt
drink of thy
sister’s
cup
deep and
large: thou shalt be laughed to
scorn and had in
derision; it
containeth
much.

\VS{33}Thou shalt be
filled with
drunkenness and
sorrow, with the
cup of
astonishment and
desolation, with the
cup of thy
sister
Samaria.

\VS{34}Thou shalt even
drink it and suck
{\ADD{it}}
out, and thou shalt
break the
sherds thereof, and pluck
off thine own
breasts: for I have
spoken
{\ADD{it}},
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}.

\VS{35}Therefore thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Because thou hast
forgotten me, and
cast me
behind thy
back, therefore
bear thou also thy
lewdness and thy
whoredoms.


\par }{\PP \VS{36}¶ The
{\ND{LORD}}
said moreover unto me;
Son of

declare unto them their
abominations;\FTNT{§§§}{{\FR 23:36 }{\FT{judge: or, plead for}}}

\VS{37}That they have committed

bare unto me, to pass for them
through

devour
{\ADD{them}}.

\VS{38}Moreover this they have
done unto me: they have
defiled my

profaned my

\VS{39}For when they had
slain their
children to their
idols, then they
came the same
day into my

profane it; and, lo, thus have they
done in the

house.

\VS{40}And
furthermore, that ye have
sent for
men to
come from
far, unto whom a

{\ADD{was}}
sent; and, lo, they
came: for whom thou didst
wash thyself,
paintedst thy

deckedst thyself with
ornaments,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 23:40 }{\FT{to come: Heb. coming}}}

\VS{41}And
satest upon a
stately

prepared
before it, whereupon thou hast
set mine

oil.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 23:41 }{\FT{stately: Heb. honourable}}}

\VS{42}And a
voice of a

ease
{\ADD{was}} with her: and with the

{\ADD{were}}
brought
Sabeans from the

put
bracelets upon their

beautiful
crowns upon their
heads.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 23:42 }{\FT{of the…: Heb. of the multitude of men}}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 23:42 }{\FT{Sabeans: or, drunkards}}}

\VS{43}Then
said I unto

old in

commit
whoredoms with her, and she
{\ADD{with them}}?\FTNT{**}{{\FR 23:43 }{\FT{whoredoms…: Heb. her whoredoms}}}

in unto her, as they go
in unto a
woman that playeth the
harlot: so went they
in unto
Aholah and unto
Aholibah, the
lewd
women.


\par }{\PP \VS{45}¶ And the
righteous
men, they shall
judge them after the
manner of
adulteresses, and after the
manner of women that
shed
blood; because they
{\ADD{are}}
adulteresses, and
blood
{\ADD{is}} in their
hands.

\VS{46}For thus
saith the

{\ND{GOD}}; I will bring
up a
company upon them, and will
give them to be
removed and
spoiled.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 23:46 }{\FT{to be…: Heb. for a removing and spoil}}}

daughters, and burn
up their
houses with
fire.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 23:47 }{\FT{dispatch…: or, single them out}}}

\VS{48}Thus will I cause
lewdness to
cease out of the
land, that all
women may be
taught not to
do after your
lewdness.

\VS{49}And they shall
recompense your
lewdness upon you, and ye shall

pour

out
piece by
piece; let no
lot
fall upon it.

\VS{7}For her
blood is in the
midst of her; she
set it upon the
top of a
rock; she
poured it not upon the
ground, to
cover it with
dust;

\VS{8}That it might cause
fury to come
up to
take
vengeance; I have
set her
blood upon the
top of a

\VS{9}Therefore thus
saith the

{\ND{GOD}};
Woe to the

great.

\VS{10}Heap on
wood,
kindle the
fire,
consume the

spice it
well, and let the
bones be
burned.

\VS{11}Then
set it
empty upon the

brass of it may be
hot, and may
burn, and
{\ADD{that}} the

\VS{12}She hath

scum went not
forth out of her: her

{\ADD{shall be}} in the
fire.

\VS{13}In thy
filthiness
{\ADD{is}}
lewdness: because I have
purged thee, and thou wast not
purged, thou shalt not be
purged from thy

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Again the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} came unto me,
saying,

\VS{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:\FTNT{*}{{\FR 33:2 }{\FT{When…: Heb. A land when I bring a sword upon her}}}

\VS{3}If when he
seeth the
sword
come upon the
land, he
blow the
trumpet, and
warn the
people;

\VS{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.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 33:4 }{\FT{whosoever…: Heb. he that hearing heareth}}}

\VS{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.

\VS{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
{\ADD{any}}
person from among them, he is taken
away in his
iniquity; but his
blood will I
require at the
watchman’s
hand.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{8}When I
say unto the
wicked, O
wicked
{\ADD{man}}, thou shalt
surely
die; if thou dost not
speak to
warn the
wicked from his
way, that
wicked
{\ADD{man}} shall
die in his
iniquity; but his
blood will I
require at thine
hand.

\VS{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}Therefore, O thou
son of
man,
speak unto the
house of
Israel; Thus ye
speak,
saying, If our
transgressions and our
sins
{\ADD{be}} upon us, and we pine
away in them, how should we then
live?

\VS{11}Say unto them,
{\ADD{As}} I
live,
saith the
Lord
{\ND{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?

\VS{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
{\ADD{righteousness}} in the
day that he
sinneth.

\VS{13}When I shall
say to the
righteous,
{\ADD{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.

\VS{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;\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 33:14 }{\FT{that…: Heb. judgment and justice}}}

\VS{15}{\ADD{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.

\VS{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{18}When the
righteous
turneth from his
righteousness, and
committeth
iniquity, he shall even
die thereby.

\VS{19}But if the
wicked
turn from his
wickedness, and
do that which is
lawful and
right, he shall
live thereby.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}¶ And it came to pass in the
twelfth
year of our
captivity, in the
tenth
{\ADD{month}}, in the
fifth
{\ADD{day}} of the
month,
{\ADD{that}} one that had
escaped out of
Jerusalem
came unto me,
saying, The
city is
smitten.

\VS{22}Now the
hand of the
{\ND{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.

\VS{23}Then the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} came unto me,
saying,

\VS{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
{\ADD{are}}
many; the
land is
given us for
inheritance.

\VS{25}Wherefore
say unto them, Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Ye
eat with the
blood, and lift
up your
eyes toward your
idols, and
shed
blood: and shall ye
possess the
land?

\VS{26}Ye
stand upon your
sword, ye
work
abomination, and ye
defile every
one his
neighbour’s
wife: and shall ye
possess the
land?

\VS{27}Say thou thus unto them, Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}};
{\ADD{As}} I
live, surely they that
{\ADD{are}} in the
wastes shall
fall by the
sword, and him that
{\ADD{is}} in the
open
field will I
give to the
beasts to be
devoured, and they that
{\ADD{be}} in the
forts and in the
caves shall
die of the
pestilence.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 33:27 }{\FT{to be…: Heb. to devour him}}}

\VS{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.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 33:28 }{\FT{most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}}}

\VS{29}Then shall they
know that I
{\ADD{am}} the
{\ND{LORD}}, when I have
laid the
land
most
desolate because of all their
abominations which they have
committed.


\par }{\PP \VS{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
{\ND{LORD}}.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 33:30 }{\FT{against thee: of, of thee}}}

\VS{31}And they
come unto thee as the
people
cometh, and they
sit
before thee
{\ADD{as}} my
people, and they
hear thy
words, but they will not
do them: for with their
mouth they
shew much
love,
{\ADD{but}} their
heart
goeth
after their
covetousness.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 33:31 }{\FT{as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people}}}\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 33:31 }{\FT{they sit…: or, my people sit before thee}}}\FTNT{***}{{\FR 33:31 }{\FT{they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}}}

\VS{32}And, lo, thou
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 33:32 }{\FT{a very…: Heb. a song of loves}}}

\VS{33}And when this cometh to
pass, (lo, it will
come,) then shall they
know that a
prophet hath been
among them.




\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} came unto me,
saying,

\VS{2}Son of
man,
prophesy against the
shepherds of
Israel,
prophesy, and
say unto them, Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}} unto the
shepherds;
Woe
{\ADD{be}} to the
shepherds of
Israel that do
feed themselves! should not the
shepherds
feed the
flocks?

\VS{3}Ye
eat the
fat, and ye
clothe you with the
wool, ye
kill them that are
fed:
{\ADD{but}} ye
feed not the
flock.

\VS{4}The
diseased have ye not
strengthened, neither have ye
healed that which was
sick, neither have ye bound
up
{\ADD{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.

\VS{5}And they were
scattered, because
{\ADD{there is}} no
shepherd: and they became
meat to all the
beasts of the
field, when they were
scattered.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 34:5 }{\FT{because…: or, without a shepherd}}}

\VS{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
{\ADD{after them}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}¶ Therefore, ye
shepherds,
hear the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}};

\VS{8}{\ADD{As}} I
live,
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}, surely because my
flock became a
prey, and my
flock became
meat to every
beast of the
field, because
{\ADD{there was}} no
shepherd, neither did my
shepherds
search for my
flock, but the
shepherds
fed themselves, and
fed not my
flock;\FTNT{†}{{\FR 34:8 }{\FT{because…: or, without a shepherd}}}

\VS{9}Therefore, O ye
shepherds,
hear the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}};

\VS{10}Thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Behold, I
{\ADD{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}¶ For thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Behold, I,
{\ADD{even}} I, will both
search my
sheep, and seek them
out.

\VS{12}As a
shepherd seeketh
out his
flock in the
day that he is
among his
sheep
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 34:12 }{\FT{As…: Heb. According to the seeking}}}

\VS{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.

\VS{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
{\ADD{in}} a
fat
pasture shall they
feed upon the
mountains of
Israel.

\VS{15}I will
feed my
flock, and I will cause them to lie
down,
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}.

\VS{16}I will
seek that which was
lost, and bring
again that which was driven
away, and will bind
up
{\ADD{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}And
{\ADD{as for}}
you, O my
flock, thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}}; Behold, I
judge between
cattle and
cattle, between the
rams and the he
goats.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 34:17 }{\FT{cattle: Heb. small cattle of lambs and kids}}}\FTNT{**}{{\FR 34:17 }{\FT{he goats: Heb. great he goats}}}

\VS{18}{\ADD{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?

\VS{19}And
{\ADD{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}¶ Therefore thus
saith the
Lord
{\ND{GOD}} unto them; Behold, I,
{\ADD{even}} I, will
judge between the
fat
cattle and between the
lean
cattle.

\VS{21}Because ye have
thrust with
side and with
shoulder, and
pushed all the
diseased with your
horns, till ye have
scattered them
abroad;

\VS{22}Therefore will I
save my
flock, and they shall no more be a
prey; and I will
judge between
cattle and
cattle.

\VS{23}And I will set
up
one
shepherd over them, and he shall
feed them,
{\ADD{even}} my
servant
David; he shall
feed them, and he shall be their
shepherd.

\VS{24}And I the
{\ND{LORD}} will be their
God, and my
servant
David a
prince
among them; I the
{\ND{LORD}} have
spoken
{\ADD{it}}.

\VS{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.

\VS{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.

\VS{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
{\ADD{am}} the
{\ND{LORD}}, when I have
broken the
bands of their
yoke, and
delivered them out of the
hand of those that
served themselves of them.

\VS{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
{\ADD{them}}
afraid.

\VS{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.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 34:29 }{\FT{of renown: or, for renown}}}\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 34:29 }{\FT{consumed: Heb. taken away}}}

\VS{30}Thus shall they
know that I the

{\ADD{am}} with them, and
{\ADD{that}} they,
{\ADD{even}} the
house of
Israel,
{\ADD{are}} my
people,
saith the

{\ND{GOD}}.

\VS{31}And
ye my

\VS{4}I will

\VS{8}He

\VS{10}And the little

\VS{12}The

\VS{14}He

\VS{18}And the

\VS{38}And the

{\ADD{were}}

\VS{40}And at the

laid the

\VS{43}And

{\ADD{were}} the

gate; and their
prospect
{\ADD{was}}
toward the

one at the

gate
{\ADD{having}} the

\VS{45}And he
said unto me,
This

toward the

{\ADD{is}} for the

\VS{46}And the

altar: these
{\ADD{are}} the
sons of
Zadok among the

Levi, which come
near to the

minister unto him.

\VS{47}So he
measured the

long, and an
hundred
cubits
broad,
foursquare; and the
altar
{\ADD{that was}}
before the
house.


\par }{\PP \VS{48}¶ And he
brought me to the

five

five

breadth of the

{\ADD{was}}
three
cubits on this side, and
three

\VS{49}The
length of the
porch
{\ADD{was}}
twenty

eleven

{\ADD{he brought me}} by the

up to it: and
{\ADD{there were}}
pillars by the

one on this side, and
another on that side.




\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Afterward he

{\ADD{which was}} the

\VS{2}And the

door
{\ADD{was}}
ten

sides of the
door
{\ADD{were}}
five

five

measured the

breadth of the
door,
seven

\VS{4}So he
measured the
length thereof,
twenty
cubits; and the
breadth,
twenty

before the
temple: and he
said unto me, This
{\ADD{is}} the
most
holy

\VS{5}After he
measured the
wall of the
house,
six
cubits; and the
breadth of
{\ADD{every}} side
chamber,
four
cubits, round
about the
house on every
side.

\VS{6}And the
side
chambers
{\ADD{were}}
three, one over
another, and
thirty in
order; and they
entered into the
wall which
{\ADD{was}} of the
house for the side
chambers round
about, that they might have
hold, but they had not
hold in the

house.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 41:6 }{\FT{one…: Heb. side chamber over side chamber}}}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 41:6 }{\FT{thirty…: or, three and thirty times, or, foot}}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 41:6 }{\FT{have hold: Heb. be holden}}}

\VS{7}And
{\ADD{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
{\ADD{was still}}
upward, and so
increased
{\ADD{from}} the
lowest
{\ADD{chamber}} to the
highest by the
midst.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 41:7 }{\FT{there…: Heb. it was made broader, and went round}}}

\VS{8}I
saw also the
height of the
house round
about: the
foundations of the side
chambers
{\ADD{were}} a
full
reed of
six
great
cubits.

\VS{9}The
thickness of the
wall, which
{\ADD{was}} for the side
chamber
without,
{\ADD{was}}
five
cubits: and
{\ADD{that}} which
{\ADD{was}}
left
{\ADD{was}} the
place of the side
chambers that
{\ADD{were}}
within.

\VS{10}And between the
chambers
{\ADD{was}} the
wideness of
twenty

about the
house on every

\VS{11}And the
doors of the side
chambers
{\ADD{were}} toward
{\ADD{the place that was}}
left,
one
door
toward the
north, and
another

breadth of the

{\ADD{was}}
five

{\ADD{was}}
seventy
cubits
broad; and the

building
{\ADD{was}}
five
cubits
thick round
about, and the
length thereof
ninety

\VS{13}So he
measured the
house, an

long; and the separate
place, and the
building, with the
walls thereof, an
hundred
cubits
long;

\VS{14}Also the
breadth of the
face of the
house, and of the separate
place toward the
east, an

\VS{15}And he
measured the
length of the
building over
against the separate

{\ADD{was}}
behind it, and the

{\ADD{was}} between a

{\ADD{every}}
cherub had
two

\VS{19}So that the

man
{\ADD{was}} toward the palm
tree on the one side, and the
face of a young

{\ADD{it was}}
made through all the

\VS{20}From the

{\ADD{were}}
cherubims and palm

\VS{21}The

\VS{22}The

three

said unto me, This

\VS{23}And the
temple and the
sanctuary had
two
doors.

\VS{24}And the
doors had
two

two
turning

two

\VS{25}And
{\ADD{there were}}
made on them, on the

\VS{26}And

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then he brought me
forth into the
utter

\VS{2}Before the
