Chapter 36
Thou son of man, prophesy upon
the mountains of Israel, and speak: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye
mountains of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Because your enemy
hath said upon you: Aha, the high everlasting places are now become
ours: prophesy therefore, and speak: thus saith the Lord God: Seeing
ye be wasted and trod down on every side, and become a possession
unto the residue of the Gentiles, which have brought you into mens
mouths and unto an evil name among the people: Therefore, hear the
word of the Lord God, O ye mountains of Israel: Thus saith the Lord
God unto the mountains, and hills, valleys and dales, to the void
wilderness and desolate cities, which are spoiled, and had in
derision on every side, among the residue of the Heathen: Yee even
thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my jealousy have I taken a
device, against the residue of the Gentiles, and against all Edom:
which have taken in my land unto themselves for a possession: which
also rejoiced from their whole heart with despiteful stomach, to
waste it, and to spoil it.
Prophesy therefore upon the land of Israel, speak unto the
mountains and hills, to valleys and dales, thus saith the Lord God:
Behold, this have I devised in my jealousy and terrible wrath: For
so much as yee have suffered reproof of the Heathen, therefore thus
saith the Lord God: I have sworn, that the Gentiles that lay about
you, shall bear your confusion themselves. And as for you ( O
mountains of Israel ) ye shall shoot out your branches, and bring
forth your fruit to my people of Israel, for it is hard by, that it
will come. Behold, I come unto you, and unto to you will I turn me,
that ye may be tilled and sown. I will send you much people, which
shall be all of the house of Israel: the cities shall be inhabited,
and the decayed places shall be repaired again. I will provide you
with much people and cattle, which shall increase and bring fruit. I
will restore you also to your old estate, and show you more kindness
than ever ye had before: whereby ye shall know, that I am the Lord.
Yee, people will I send unto you ( O my folk of Israell ) which
shall have thee in possession, and thou shalt be their inheritance,
so that thou shalt no more be without them. Again, thus saith the
Lord God: For so much as they say unto you: thou art an eater up of
men, and a waster of thy people: therefore thou shalt eat no more
men. neither destroy thy people any more, saith the Lord God. And I
will not suffer thee, for to hear thine own confusion among the
Gentiles from henceforth. Thou shalt not bare the reproof of the
nations, nor cast out thine own people any more, saith the Lord God.
Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: O thou
son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt upon their own ground,
they defiled themselves with their own *waies and imaginations: so
that in my sight their way was like the uncleanness of a menstruous
woman. Wherefore I poured my wrothfull displeasure upon them,
because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because of
their Idols, wherewith they had defiled themselves. I scattered them
also among the Heathen, so that they were strewed about in the
lands. According to their ways and after their own inventions, so
did I punish them.
Now when they were gone unto the Heathen, and come in among
them they dishonored my holy name: so that it was said of them: Are
these the people of God, and must go out of their own land? Then
spared I my holy name, which the house of Israel had dishonored
among the Gentiles, to whom they came. Therefore tell the house of
Israell: Thus saith the Lord God: I do not this for your sakes ( O
house of Israel ) but for my holy names sake, which ye have
dishonored among the Heathen, they came to them. Therefore I will
hallow my great name again, which among the Gentiles is evil spoken
of: for ye yourselves have dishonored it among them. And the
Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, when I am honored in you
before their eyes, sayeth the Lord God.
As for you, I will take you from among the Heathen, and gather
you together out of all countries, and bring you again into your own
land. Then I will pour clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:
yee from all your uncleanness and from all your Idols shall I clean
you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put
in you: As for that stoney heart, I will take it out of your body,
and give you a fleshly heart. I will give my spirit among you, and
cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my laws, and to
fulfill them.
And so ye shall dwell in the land, that I gave to your
fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will
help you out of all your uncleannesses. I will call for the corn,
and will increase it, and will let you have no hunger. I will
multiply the fruits of the trees, and the increase of the field for
you, so that ye shall bear no more reproof of hunger among the
Heathen. Then shall ye remember your own wicked ways, and your
imaginations, which were not good: so that ye shall take displeasure
at your own selves, by reason of your sins and abominations.
But I will not do this for your sakes ( saith the Lord God )
be ye sure of it. Therefore, O ye house of Israel, be ashamed of
your sins. Moreover, thus saith the Lord God: what time as I shall
cleanse you from all your offenses, then will I make the cities to
be occupied again, and will repair the places that be decayed. The
desolate land shall be builded again, which afore time lay waste in
the sight of all them that went by. Then shall it be said: this
waste land is become like the garden of pleasure, and the void,
desolate and broken down cities, are now strong, and fenced again.
Then the residue of the Heathen that lay round about you, shall know
that I am the Lord, which repair that was broken down, and plant
again, that was made waste. Even I the Lord have spoken it, and will
do it indeed.
Thus saith the Lord God: I will yet once be found again of the
house of Israel, and do this for them: I shall increase them as a
flock of men. Like as the holy flock and the flock of Jerusalem are
in the high solemn feasts: so shall also the wild wasted cities be
filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Chapter 37
The hand of the Lord came upon
me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and let me down in
a plain field, that lay full of bones, and he led me round about
them: and behold, the bones that lay upon the field, were very many,
and marvelous dry also. Then said he unto me: Thou son of man:
thinkest thou these bones may live again? And I answered: O' Lord
God, thou knowest. And he said unto me: Prophesy thou upon these
bones, and speak unto them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones: Behold, I will put breath
into you, that ye may live: I will give *yow sinews, and make flesh
grow upon you, and cover you over with skin: and so give you breath,
that ye may live, and know, that I am the Lord.
So I prophesied, as he had commanded me: and as I was
prophesying, there came a noise, and a great motion, so that the
bones ran every one to another. Now when I looked, behold, they had
sinews, and flesh grew upon them: and above they were covered with
skin, but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me: Thou
son of man, prophesy thou toward the wind: prophesy, and speak to
the wind: Thus saith the Lord God: Come ( O thou air ) from the four
winds, and blow upon these slain, that they may be restored to life.
So I prophesied as he had commanded me: then came the breath into
them and they received life, and stood up upon their feet, a
marvelous great *forte.
Moreover, he said unto me: Thou son of man, these bones are
the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say: Our bones are dried up,
our hope is gone, we are clean cut off. Therefore prophesy thou, and
speak unto them: thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will open your
graves ( O my people ) and take you out of your sepulchers, and
bring you into the land of Israel again. So shall ye know that I am
the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you out of them. My
spirit also will I put in you, and ye shall live: I will set you
again in your own land, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord which
have said it, and fulfilled it in deed.
The word of the Lord came unto me, saying: Thou son of man,
take a stick and write upon it: Unto Judah and to the children of
Israel his companions. Then take another stick, and write upon it:
Unto Joseph the stock of Ephraim, and to all the household of Israel
his companions. And then, take both these together in thine hand, so
shall there be one stick thereof. Now if the children of thy people
say unto thee: wilt thou not show us, what thou meanest by these?
Then give them this answer: Thus saith the Lord God: behold, I will
take the stock of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim and the
tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them to the stock of
Judah, and make them *one stock, and they shall be one in mine hand.
And the two sticks where upon thou writest, shalt thou have in thine
hand, that they may see, and shalt say unto them: Thus saith the
Lord God: behold, I will take away the children of Israel from among
the Heathen, unto whom they be gone, and will gather them together
on every side, and bring them again into their own land: Yee I will
make one people of them in the land, upon the mountains of Israel,
and they all shall have but one king. They shall no more be two
peoples from henceforth, they shall also defile themselves no more
with their abominations, Idols, and their wicked doings. I will help
them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned: and
will so cleanse them, that they shall be my people, and I their God.
David my servant shall be their king, and they all shall have
one shepherd only. They shall walk in my laws, and my commandments
shall they both keep and fulfill. They shall dwell in the land, that
I gave unto Jacob my servant, where as your fathers have also dwelt.
Yee even the same land shall they, their children, and their
childrens children dwell in for evermore: and my servant David shall
be their everlasting prince. Moreover, I will make a bond of peace
with them, which shall be an everlasting covenant. I will *satle
them also, and multiply them, my Sanctuary will I set among them for
evermore. My dwelling shall be with them, yee I will be their God,
and they shall be my people. Thus the Heathen shall also know, that
I the Lord am the holy maker of Israel: when my Sanctuary shall be
among them for evermore.
*yow (you) *forte=the strongest part of a sword, done in a strong
manner, something that one does exceedingly well. *satle=to satisfy
fully

Chapter 38
And the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying: Thou son of man, turn thy face toward Gog in the
land of Magog, which is the chief prince of Mesech and Tubal:
prophesy against him, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: O Gog thou
chief prince Mesech and Tubal: behold, I will upon thee, and will
turn you about, and put a bit in thy *chawes: I will bring thee
forth and all thine host, both horse and horsemen, which all be
weaponed of the best fashion: a great people, that handle all
together spears, shields, and swords: The Perses, Moryans, and with
them the Lybians which all bear shields and helmets: Gomer and all
his hosts: the house of Thogorma out of the north quarters, and all
his hosts, yee and much people with thee.
Therefore prepare thee, set thyself in array with all thy
people, that are come unto thee by heaps, and be thou their defense.
After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter years thou
shalt come into the land, that hath been destroyed with the sword,
and now is replenished again with diverse people upon the mountains
of Israel, which have long lain waste. Yee they be brought out of
the nations, and dwell all safe. Thou shalt come up like a stormy
wether, to cover the land, and as it were a dark cloud: thou with
all thine hosts, and a great multitude of people with thee.
Moreover, thus saith the Lord God: At the same time shall many
things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief, and
say: I will up to yonder plain land, seeing they sit at ease, and
dwell all without any walls, they have neither bars nor doors, to
spoil them, to rob them, to lay hand to their so well inhabited
wildernesses: against that people, that is gathered together from
among the Heathen, which have gotten cattle and good, and dwell in
the midest of the land. Then shall Saba, and Dedan, and the
merchants of Tharsis with all their worthies, say unto thee: Art
thou come to rob? Hast thou gathered thy people together, because
thou wilt spoil? to take silver and gold: to carry away cattle and
goods: and to have great prey?
Therefore, O thou son of man, thou shalt prophesy, and say
unto Gog: Thus saith the Lord God: In that day thou shalt know, that
my people of Israel dwelleth safe: and thou shalt come from thy
place out of the north parts: thou and much people with thee, which
ride upon horses, whereof there is a great multitude and an
innumerable forte. Yee thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as
a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter
days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know
me, when I get me honor upon thee O Gog, before their eyes.
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou art he, of whom I have spoken in
afore time, by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied
in those days and years, that I should bring thee upon them. At the
same time, when Gog cometh up in to the land of Israel, (saith the
Lord God ) shall my indignation go forth in my wrath. For in my
jealousy and hot displeasure I have devised , that there shall be a
great trouble in the land of Israel at that time. The very fishes in
the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, and all the
men that are upon the earth, shall tremble for fear of me.
The hills also shall be turned upside down, the stairs of
stone shall fall, and all walls shall sink to the ground: I will
call for a sword upon them in all my mountains, saith the Lord God:
so that every mans sword shall be upon another. With pestilence and
blood will I punish him: stormy rain and hail stones, fire and
brimstone, will I cause to rain upon him and all his heap, yee and
upon all that great people that is with him. Thus will I be
magnified, honored, and known among the Heathen: that they may be
sure, how that I am the Lord.

Chapter 39
Therefore O thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and speak: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, O
Gog: thou chief prince at Mesech and Tubal, I will upon thee, and
turn thee about, and carry thee forth, and lead thee from the north
parts, and bring thee up to the mountains of Israel. As for thy bow,
I will smite it out of thy left hand, and cast thine arrows out of
thy right hand. Thou with all thine heap, and all the people that is
with thee, must fall upon the mountains of Israell. Then will I give
thee unto the fouls and wild beasts of the field, to be devoured:
there must thou lie upon the field: for even I the Lord have spoken
it, saith the Lord God.
Into Magog, and among those that sit carelessly in the isles:
will I send a fire, and they shall know, that I am the Lord. I will
make also the name of my holiness to be known among my people of
Israel: and I will not let my holy name be evil spoken of any more:
but the very Heathen also shall know, that I am the Lord, the holy
one in Israel. Behold, it cometh, and shall be fulfilled in deed,
saith the Lord God. This is the day whereof I have spoken: They that
dwell in the cities of Israel, shall go forth and set fire upon the
weapons, and burn them: shields and spears, bows and arrows, bills
and clubs: handstaves, seven years shall they be burning thereof, so
that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have
need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons
now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those
that spoiled them, saith the Lord God.
At the same time I will give unto Gog, a place to be buried
in, in Israel: even the valley, where through men go from the east
to the seaward: Those that travel thereby, shall abhor it. There
shall Gog and all his people be buried: and it shall be called The
valley of the people of Gog. Seven months long shall the house of
Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. Yee, all
the people of the land shall bury them. O it shall be a glorious
day, when I get me that honor, saith the Lord God. They shall ordain
men also to be dead buryers, ever going through the land, and
appoint them certain places to bury those in, which remain upon the
field, that the land may be cleansed. From end to end shall they
seek, and that seven months long. Now those that go through the
land, where they see a mans bone, they shall set up a token by it,
till the dead buryers have buried it also, in the valley of the
people of Gog. And the name of the city shall be called, Hamonah.
Thus shall they make the land clean.
And, thou son of man: thus saith the Lord God: Speak unto all
the fouls and every bird, yee and to all the wild beasts of the
field: heap you together and come, gather you round about upon my
slaughter, that I have slain for you: even a great slaughter upon
the mountains of Israel: eat flesh and drink blood. Ye shall eat the
flesh of the worthies, and drink the blood of the princes of the
land: of the wethers, of lambs, of goats, and of the oxen that all
be slain at Bashan. Eat the fat your belly full, and drink blood
till ye be drunken of the slaughter, which I have slain unto you.
Fill you at my table, with horses and strong horsemen: with captains
and all men of war, saith the Lord God.
I will bring my glory also among the Gentiles, that all the
Heathen may see my judgment, that I have kept, and my hand which I
have laid upon them: that the house of Israel may know, how that I
am the Lord their God, from that day forth. And the Heathen shall
know, that where as the house of Israel were led into captivity: was
for their wickedness sake, because they offended me.
For which cause I hid my face from them, and delivered them
into the hands of their enemies, that they might all be slain with
the sword. According to their uncleanness and unfaithful dealings,
so have I entreated them, and hid my face from them. Therefore thus
saith the Lord God, Now will I bring again the captives of Jacob,
and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous
for my holy names sake. All their confusion and offense that they
have done against me, shall be taken away: and so safely shall they
dwell in their land, that no man shall make them afraid. And when I
have brought them again from among the people, when I have gathered
them together out of their enemies lands, and am praised in them
before many Heathen: then shall they know, that I am the Lord their
God, which suffered them to be led into captivity among the Heathen,
but have brought them again into their own land, and not left one of
them in yonder.
After that, will I hide my face no more from them, but will
pour out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

Chapter 40
In the twenty fifth year of our
captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month:
that is the fourteenth year, after that the city was smitten down:
the same day came the hand of the Lord upon me, and carried me
forth: even into the land of Israel brought he me in the visions of
God: and set me down upon a marvelous high mountain, where upon
there was a building ( as it had been of a city ) toward the north.
Thither he carried me, and behold, there was a man, whose
similitude was like brass, which had a thread of flax in his hand,
and a meterod also. He stood in the door, and said: mark well with
thine eyes, harken too with thine ears, and fasten it to thine
heart, whatsoever I shall show thee, for to the intent that they
might be showed thee, therefore thou art thou brought hither. A
whatsoever thou seest, thou shall certify the house of Israel
thereof.
Behold, there was a wall on the outside round about the house:
the meterod that he had in his hand, was of six cubits long and a
span. So he measured the breadth of the building, which was one
meterod, and the height also a meterod, Then came he unto the east
door, and went up the stairs, and measured the posts of the door,
whereof every one was a meterod thick. Every chamber was a meterod
long and broad: between the chambers were five cubits. The post of
the door within the porch, was one meterod. Then measured he the
entry of the door, that contained eight cubits, and his pillars two
cubits: and this entry stood inward.
The chambers of the door eastward, were three on every side: alike
broad and long. The pillars also that stood of both the sides, were
of one measure. After this, he measured the wideness of the door,
which was ten cubits, and the height of the door thirteen cubits.
The edge before the chambers was one cubit broad upon both the sides
and the cambers six cubits wide of either side. He measured the door
from the *rigge of one chamber to another, whose wideness was twenty
five cubits, and one door stood against another. He made pillars
also sixty cubits high, round about the court door. Before the
inward part unto the fore entry of the inner door, were fifty
cubits. The chambers and the pillars within, round about unto the
door, had side windows: So had the fore entries also, whose windows
went round about within. And upon the pillars stood date trees.
Then brought he me into the fore court, where as were chambers
a paved works, made in the fore court round about: Thirty chambers
upon one paved work. Now the paved work was a long beside the doors,
and that was the lower paved work. After this, he measured the
breadth from the lower door, unto the inner court of the outside,
which had an hundred cubits upon the east and north part. And the
door in the utter most court toward the north, measured he after the
length and breadth: his three chambers also on either side, with his
pillars and fore entries: which had even the measure of the first
door. His height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five cubits:
his windows and porches with his date trees, had even like measure
as the door toward the east: there were seven steps to go up upon,
and their porch before them. Now the door of the inner most court
stood straight over against the door, that was toward the north
east. From one door to another, he measured hundred cubits.
After that, he brought me to the south side, where there stood
a door toward the south: whose pillars and porches he measured,
these had the first measure, and with their porches they had windows
round about, like the first windows. The height was fifty cubits,
the breadth was twenty five, with steps to go up upon: his porch
stood before him, with his pillars and date trees on either side.
And the door of the inner court stood toward the south, and he
measured from one door to another an hundred cubits. So he brought
me in to the inner court, through the door of the south side: which
he measured, and it had the measure afore said. In like manner, his
chambers, pillars, and fore entries, had even the fore said measure
also. And he had with his porches round about, windows of fifty
cubits high, and twenty five cubits broad. The porches round about
were twenty five cubits long, and five cubits broad: and his porch
reached unto the utter most court: upon his pillars there were date
trees, and eight steps to go up upon.
He brought me also to the inmost court upon the east side, and
measured the door, according to the measure afore said. His
chambers, pillars, and porches had even the same measure, as they
first had: and with his porches he had windows round about. The
height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five cubits: His porches
reached unto the uttermost court: his pillars also had date trees on
either side, and eight steps to up upon. And he brought me to the
north door, and measured it, which also had the afore said measure.
His chambers, pillars, and porches had windows round about: whose
height was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty five. His pillars
stood toward the uttermost court, and upon them both were date
trees, and eight steps to go up upon. There stood a chamber also,
whose entrance was at the door pillars, and there the burnt
offerings were washed.
In the door porch, there stood on either side two tables for
the slaughtering; to slay the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and
trespass offerings thereupon. And on the out side as men go forth to
the north door, there stood two tables. Four tables stood on either
side of the door, that is eight tables, where upon they slaughtered.
Four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offerings, of a cubit
and a half long and broad, and one cubit high: where upon were laid
the vessels and ornaments, which were used to the burnt and the
slain offerings, when they were slaughtered. And within there were
hooks four fingers broad, fastened round about, to hang flesh upon,
and upon the tables was laid the offering flesh. On the outside of
the inner door were the singers chambers in the inward court beside
the North door over against the South. There stood one also, beside
the east door northward.
And he said unto me: This chamber on the South side belongeth
to the priests, that keep the habitation: and this toward the North,
is the priests that wait upon the alter: which be the sons of Sadoch,
that do service before the Lord instead of the children of Levi. So
he measured the fore court, which had in length an hundred cubits,
and as much in breadth by the four corners. Now the altar stood
before the house: And he brought me to the fore entry of the house,
and measured the walls by the entry door: which were five cubits
long on either side. The thickness also of the door on either side,
was three cubits. The length of the porch was twenty cubits, the
breadth eleven cubits, and upon steps went men up to it: by the
walls also were pillars, on either side one.
*cu= 1’-7" span= 9 2" a meterod = 5 cubits as we will see in Chapter
41p2 this meterod here, that he used was = 6 x 1-7"+9 2" or 144"+9
2" for approx 12 feet, 9 2 inches. IF measure of tip of hand to
elbow was used of an average man. RN
*rigge= ridge The horizontal line formed by the juncture of two
sloping planes, especially the line formed by the surfaces at the
top of a roof.

Chapter 41
After this he brought me to the
temple, and measured the posts: which were of both the sides six
cubits thick, according to the wideness of the tabernacle. The
breadth of the door was ten cubits and the walls of the door on
either side five cubits. He measured the length thereof, which
contained forty cubits, and the breadth twenty. Then went he in, and
measured the door posts, which were two cubits thick: but the door
it self was six cubits, and the breadth of the door was seven
cubits. He measured the length and breadth thereof, which were every
one twenty cubits, before the temple:
And he said unto me: this is the holiest of all. He measured
also the wall of the house, which was six cubits. The chambers that
stood round about the house, were every one four cubits wide, and
one stood hard upon the another, whereof there were thirty three.
And there stood posts beneath by the walls round about the house, to
bear them up: but in the wall of the house they were not fastened:
The side chambers were the higher the wider, and had steps through
them round about the house. Thus was it wider above, that from the
lowest men might go to the highest and mid chambers. I saw also that
the house was very high round about. The foundation of the side
chambers was a *meterod broad. The thickness of the side wall
without, contained five cubits, and so did the outwall, of the
chambers in the house.
Between the chambers, was the wideness of twenty cubits round
about the house. The chamber doors stood over against the outwall,
the one door was toward the north, the other toward the South: and
the thickness of the outwall was five cubits round about. Now the
building that was separated toward the west, was seventy cubits
wide: the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about,
and the length four *score cubits and ten. So he measured the house
which was an hundred cubits long, and the separated building with
the wall were an hundred cubits long also. The wideness before the
house and of it that was separated toward the East, was an hundred
cubits.
And he measured the length of the building before and behind
with the chambers upon both the sides: and it contained an hundred
cubits. The innermer temple, the porch of the fore court, the side
posts, these three had side windows, and pillars round about over
against the posts, from the ground up to the windows: The windows
themselves were silled over with boards: and thus was it above the
door, unto the inmost house, and without also: Yee the whole wall on
every side both within and without was silled over with great
boards. There were Cherubins and date trees made also, so that one
date tree stood ever between two Cherubins: One cherub had two
faces, the face of a man looking aside toward the date tree, and a
lions face on the other side. Thus was it made round about in all
the house; Yee the Cherubins and date trees were made from the
ground up above the door, and so stood they also upon the wall of
the temple.
The posts of the temple were four squared, and the fashion of
the Sanctuary was even as it appeared unto me afore in the vision.
The table was of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long: his
corners, the length and the walls were of wood. And he said unto me:
This is the table, that shall stand before the Lord. The temple and
the highest of all had either of them two doors and every door had
two little *wickettes which were folded in one upon another, on
every side two. And upon the doors of the temple there were made
Cherubins and date trees, like as upon the walls: and a great thick
*balke of wood was before on the outside of the porch. Upon both the
sides of the walls of the porch there were made deep windows and
date trees, having beams and balkes, like as the house had.
*meterod *( that is five cubits ) *(
