Ezekiel · Chapter 38
And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
And say, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Behold I
am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts
of armour, even a great company
with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands:
and many people with thee.
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land
that is brought back from the sword,
and is
gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Yisra'el, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); It shall also come to pass,
that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places
that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); In that day when my people of Yisra'el dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know
it?
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
And thou shalt come up against my people of Yisra'el, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH);
Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the nevi'im of Yisra'el, which prophesied in those days
many years that I would bring thee against them?
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Yisra'el, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
that my fury shall come up in my face.
For in my jealousy
and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Yisra'el;
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the shamayim, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that
are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that
are
with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).

Ezekiel · Chapter 39
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Behold, I
am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Yisra'el:
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Yisra'el, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that
is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and
to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken
it,
saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Yisra'el; and I will not
let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), the Holy One in Yisra'el.
Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); this
is
the day whereof I have spoken.
And they that dwell in the cities of Yisra'el shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down
any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Yisra'el, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the
noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call
it The valley of Hamon-gog.
And seven months shall the house of Yisra'el be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
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 master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
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.
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.
And also the name of the city
shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
And, thou son of man, thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you,
even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Yisra'el, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Ye shall 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.
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.
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
So the house of Yisra'el shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim from that day and forward.
And the heathen shall know that the house of Yisra'el 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.
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Therefore thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Now will I bring again the captivity of Ya'aqov, and have mercy upon the whole house of Yisra'el, and will be jealous for my holy name;
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.
When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Then shall they know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim, which caused 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.
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Yisra'el, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).

Ezekiel · Chapter 40
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 selfsame day the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) was upon me, and brought me thither.
In the visions of Elohim brought he me into the land of Yisra'el, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which
was as the frame of a city on the south.
And he brought me thither, and, behold,
there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
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 shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew
them unto thee
art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Yisra'el.
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits
long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
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.
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.
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate
was inward.
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.
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits;
and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
The space also before the little chambers
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.
He measured then the gate from the roof of
one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth
was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate
were fifty cubits.
And
there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows
were round about inward: and upon
each post
were palm trees.
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.
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates
was the lower pavement.
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
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.
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.
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 an hundred cubits.
After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
And
there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
And
there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof
were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
And
there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
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.
And the arches round about
were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
And the arches thereof
were toward the utter court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof,
were according to these measures: and
there were
windows therein and in the arches thereof round about:
it was
fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
And the arches thereof
were toward the outward court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured
it according to these measures;
The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
And the posts thereof
were toward the utter court; and palm trees
were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
And the chambers and the entries thereof
were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
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.
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.
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.
And the four tables
were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
And within
were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables
was the flesh of the offering.
And without the inner gate
were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which
was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect
was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate
having the prospect toward the north.
And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect
is toward the south,
is for the kohanim, the keepers of the charge of the house.
And the chamber whose prospect
is toward the north
is
for the kohanim, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these
are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) to minister unto him.
So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar
that was before the house.
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.
The length of the porch
was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and
he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and
there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
