,,the ,,prophecy ,,of ,,ezechiel        
,,ezechiel1 whose name signifies the    
,,strength ,,of ,,god1 was of the       
priestly  race2 and of the number of    
captives that were carried away to      
,babylon  with king ,,joachin4 ,he was  

contemporary with ,,jeremias1 and       
prophesied to  the same effect in       
,babylon1 as ,,jeremias did in          
,jerusalem2 and is said to  have ended  
his days in like manner1 by martyrdom4  
,ezechiel ,chapter #a    ,the time of   
,ezechiel's prophecy3 he sees a glorious
 vision4    #a3a4 ,now it came to pass  
in the thirtieth year1 in the fourth    
month1 on  the fifth day of the month1  
when ,i was in the midst of the captives
 by  the river ,chobar1 the heavens were
 opened1 and ,i saw the visions of ,god4
    ,the thirtieth year444 ,either of   
the age of ,ezechiel2 or1 as others will
  have it1 from the solemn covenant made
 in the eighteenth year of the  reign of
 ,josias4 #d ,kings #bc4    #a3b4 ,on   
the fifth day of the month1 the same was
 the fifth year of the  captivity of    
king ,joachin1    #a3c4 ,the word of the
 ,lord came to ,ezechiel the priest the 
son of ,buzi in  the land of the        
,chaldeans1 by the river ,chobar3 and   
the hand of the ,lord  was there upon   

him4    #a3d4 ,and ,i saw1 and behold a 
whirlwind came out of the north3 and a  
great cloud1 and a fire infolding it1   
and brightness was about it3 and  out of
 the midst thereof1 that is1 out of the 
midst of the fire1 as it  were the      
resemblance of amber3    #a3e4 ,and in  
the midst thereof the likeness of four  
living creatures3 and  this was their   
appearance3 there was the likeness of a 
man in them4    ,living creatures444    
,cherubims 7as appears from             
,ecclesiasticus #di4aj7  represented to 
the prophet under these mysterious      
shapes1 as supporting  the throne of    
,god1 and as it were drawing his        
chariot4 ,all this chapter  appeared so 
obscure1 and so full of mysteries to the
 ancient ,hebrews1  that1 as we learn   
from ,st4 ,jerome1 7,ep4 ad ,paulin417  
they suffered none  to read it before   
they were thirty years old4    #a3f4    
,every one had four faces1 and every one
 four wings4    #a3g4 ,their feet were  
straight feet1 and the sole of their    

foot was like  the sole of a calf's     
foot1 and they sparkled like the        
appearance of  glowing brass4    #a3h4  
,and they had the hands of a man under  
their wings on their four  sides3 and   
they had faces1 and wings on the four   
sides1    #a3i4 ,and the wings of one   
were joined to the wings of another4    
,they  turned not when they went3 but   
every one went straight forward4        
#a3aj4 ,and as for the likeness of their
 faces3 there was the face of a  man1   
and the face of a lion on the right side
 of all the four3 and the  face of an   
ox1 on the left side of all the four3   
and the face of an  eagle over all the  
four4    #a3aa4 ,and their faces1 and   
their wings were stretched upward3 two  
wings  of every one were joined1 and two
 covered their bodies3    #a3ab4 ,and   
every one of them went straight forward3
 whither the impulse  of the spirit was 
to go1 thither they went3 and they      
turned not when  they went4    #a3ac4   
,and as for the likeness of the living  

creatures1 their appearance  was like   
that of burning coals of fire1 and like 
the appearance of  lamps4 ,this was the 
vision running to and fro in the midst  
of the living  creatures1 a bright fire1
 and lightning going forth from the     
fire4    #a3ad4 ,and the living         
creatures ran and returned like flashes 
of  lightning4    #a3ae4 ,now as ,i     
beheld the living creatures1 there      
appeared upon the  earth by the living  
creatures one wheel with four faces4    
#a3af4 ,and the appearance of the       
wheels1 and the work of them was like   
the appearance of the sea3 and the four 
had all one likeness3 and their         
appearance and their work was as it were
 a wheel in the midst of a  wheel4      
#a3ag4 ,when they went1 they went by    
their four parts3 and they turned not   
when they went4    ,when they went1 they
 went by their four parts444 ,that is1  
indifferently  to any of their sides    
either forward or backward3 to the right
 or to the  left4    #a3ah4 ,the wheels 

had also a size1 and a height1 and a    
dreadful  appearance3 and the whole body
 was full of eyes round about all the   
four4    #a3ai4 ,and1 when the living   
creatures went1 the wheels also went    
together  by them3 and when the living  
creatures were lifted up from the earth1
  the wheels also were lifted up with   
them4    #a3bj4 ,withersoever the spirit
 went1 thither as the spirit went the   
wheels also were lifted up withal1 and  
followed it3 for the spirit of  life was
 in the wheels4    #a3ba4 ,when those   
went these went1 and when those stood   
these stood1 and  when those were lifted
 up from the earth1 the wheels were     
lifted up  together1 and followed them3 
for the spirit of life was in the       
wheels4    #a3bb4 ,and over the heads of
 the living creatures was the likeness  
of the  firmament1 the appearance of    
crystal terrible to behold1 and         
stretched  out over their heads above4  
#a3bc4 ,and under the firmament were    
their wings straight1 the one toward    

the other1 every one with two wings     
covered his body1 and the other was     
covered in like manner4    #a3bd4 ,and  
,i heard the noise of their wings1 like 
the noise of many  waters1 as it were   
the voice of the most high ,god3 when   
they walked1 it  was like the voice of a
 multitude1 like the noise of an army1  
and when  they stood1 their wings were  
let down4    #a3be4 ,for when a voice   
came from above the firmament1 that was 
over  their heads1 they stood1 and let  
down their wings4    #a3bf4 ,and above  
the firmament that was over their heads1
 was the  likeness of a throne1 as the  
appearance of the sapphire stone1 and   
upon  the likeness of the throne1 was   
the likeness of the appearance of a man 
above upon it4    #a3bg4 ,and ,i saw as 
it were the resemblance of amber as the 
appearance of  fire within it round     
about3 from his loins and upward1 and   
from his  loins downward1 ,i saw as it  
were the resemblance of fire shining    
round  about4    #a3bh4 ,as the         

appearance of the rainbow when it is in 
a cloud on a rainy  day3 this was the   
appearance of the brightness round      
about4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #b    ,the 
prophet receives his commission4        
#b3a4 ,this was the vision of the       
likeness of the glory of the ,lord1 and 
,i  saw1 and ,i fell upon my face1 and  
,i heard the voice of one that spoke1   
and he said to me3 ,son of man1 stand   
upon thy feet1 and ,i will speak to     
thee4    #b3b4 ,and the spirit entered  
into me after that he spoke to me1 and  
he  set me upon my feet3 and ,i heard   
him speaking to me1    #b3c4 ,and       
saying3 ,son of man1 ,i send thee to the
 children of ,israel1 to a  rebellious  
people1 that hath revolted from me1     
they1 and their fathers1  have          
transgressed my covenant even unto this 
day4    #b3d4 ,and they to whom ,i send 
thee are children of a hard face1 and of
 an  obstinate heart3 and thou shalt say
 to them3 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3   
#b3e4 ,if so be they at least will hear1

 and if so be they will forbear1  for   
they are a provoking house3 and they    
shall know that there hath been  a      
prophet in the midst of them4    #b3f4  
,and thou1 ,o son of man1 fear not1     
neither be thou afraid of their  words3 
for thou art among unbelievers and      
destroyers1 and thou dwellest  with     
scorpions4 ,fear not their words1       
neither be thou dismayed at their       
looks3 for they are a provoking house4  
#b3g4 ,and thou shalt speak my words to 
them1 if perhaps they will hear1  and   
forbear3 for they provoke me to anger4  
#b3h4 ,but thou1 ,o son of man1 hear all
 that ,i say to thee3 and do not  thou  
provoke me1 as that house provoketh me3 
open thy mouth1 and eat  what ,i give   
thee4    #b3i4 ,and ,i looked1 and      
behold1 a hand was sent to me1 wherein  
was a book  rolled up3 and he spread it 
before me1 and it was written within and
  without3 and there were written in it 
lamentations1 and canticles1 and  woe4  
,ezechiel ,chapter #c    ,the prophet   

eats the book1 and receives further     
instructions3 the office  of a watchman4
    #c3a4 ,and he said to me3 ,son of   
man1 eat all that thou shalt find3 eat  
this book1 and go speak to the children 
of ,israel4    ,eat this book1 and go   
speak to the children of ,israel444 ,by 
this eating  of the book was signified  
the diligent attention and affection    
with  which we are to receive1 and      
embrace the word of ,god2 and to let it1
 as  it were1 sink into our interior by 
devout meditation4    #c3b4 ,and ,i     
opened my mouth1 and he caused me to eat
 that book3    #c3c4 ,and he said to me3
 ,son of man1 thy belly shall eat1 and  
thy bowels  shall be filled with this   
book1 which ,i give thee1 and ,i did eat
 it3 and  it was sweet as honey in my   
mouth4    #c3d4 ,and he said to me3 ,son
 of man1 go to the house of ,israel1 and
 thou  shalt speak my words to them4    
#c3e4 ,for thou art not sent to a people
 of a profound speech1 and of an        
unknown tongue1 but to the house of     

,israel3    #c3f4 ,nor to many nations  
of a strange speech1 and of an unknown  
tongue1  whose words thou canst not     
understand3 and if thou wert sent to    
them1  they would hearken to thee4      
#c3g4 ,but the house of ,israel will not
 hearken to thee3 because they will  not
 hearken to me3 for all the house of    
,israel are of a hard forehead  and an  
obstinate heart4    #c3h4 ,behold ,i    
have made thy face stronger than their  
faces3 and thy  forehead harder than    
their foreheads4    #c3i4 ,i have made  
thy face like an adamant and like flint3
 fear them not1  neither be thou        
dismayed at their presence3 for they are
 a provoking  house4    #c3aj4 ,and he  
said to me3 ,son of man1 receive in thy 
heart1 and hear with  thy ears1 all the 
words that ,i speak to thee3    #c3aa4  
,and go get thee in to them of the      
captivity1 to the children of  thy      
people1 and thou shalt speak to them1   
and shalt say to them3 ,thus  saith the 
,lord3 ,if so be they will hear1 and    

will forbear4    #c3ab4 ,and the spirit 
took me up1 and ,i heard behind me the  
voice of a  great commotion1 saying3    
,blessed be the glory of the ,lord1 from
 his  place4    #c3ac4 ,the noise of the
 wings of the living creatures striking 
one  against another1 and the noise of  
the wheels following the living         
creatures1 and the noise of a great     
commotion4    #c3ad4 ,the spirit also   
lifted me1 and took me up3 and ,i went  
away in  bitterness in the indignation  
of my spirit3 for the hand of the ,lord 
was  with me1 strengthening me4         
#c3ae4 ,and ,i came to them of the      
captivity1 to the heap of new corn1 to  
them that dwelt by the river ,chobar1   
and ,i sat where they sat3 and ,i       
remained there seven days mourning in   
the midst of them4    ,the heap of new  
corn444 ,it was the name of a place3 in 
,hebrew1 tel abib4    #c3af4 ,and at the
 end of seven days the word of the ,lord
 came to me1  saying3    #c3ag4 ,son of 
man1 ,i have made thee a watchman to the

 house of ,israel3  and thou shalt hear 
the word out of my mouth1 and shalt tell
 it them  from me4    #c3ah4 ,if1 when  
,i say to the wicked1 ,thou shalt surely
 die3 thou declare  it not to him1 nor  
speak to him1 that he may be converted  
from his  wicked way1 and live3 the same
 wicked man shall die in his iniquity1  
but  ,i will require his blood at thy   
hand4    #c3ai4 ,but if thou give       
warning to the wicked1 and he be not    
converted  from his wickedness1 and from
 his evil way3 he indeed shall die in   
his  iniquity1 but thou hast delivered  
thy soul4    #c3bj4 ,moreover if the    
just man shall turn away from his       
justice1 and  shall commit iniquity3 ,i 
will lay a stumblingblock before him1 he
 shall  die1 because thou hast not given
 him warning3 he shall die in his sin1  
and his justices which he hath done1    
shall not be remembered3 but ,i will    
require his blood at thy hand4    #c3ba4
 ,but if thou warn the just man1 that   
the just may not sin1 and he  doth not  

sin3 living he shall live1 because thou 
hast warned him1 and  thou hast         
delivered thy soul4    #c3bb4 ,and the  
hand of the ,lord was upon me1 and he   
said to me3 ,rise and  go forth into the
 plain1 and there ,i will speak to thee4
    #c3bc4 ,and ,i rose up1 and went    
forth into the plain3 and behold the    
glory  of the ,lord stood there1 like   
the glory which ,i saw by the river     
,chobar3  and ,i fell upon my face4     
#c3bd4 ,and the spirit entered into me1 
and set me upon my feet3 and he  spoke  
to me1 and said to me3 ,go in2 and shut 
thyself up in the midst of  thy house4  
#c3be4 ,and thou1 ,o son of man1 behold 
they shall put bands upon thee1 and     
they shall bind thee with them3 and thou
 shalt not go forth from the  midst of  
them4    #c3bf4 ,and ,i will make thy   
tongue stick fast to the roof of thy    
mouth1  and thou shalt be dumb1 and not 
as a man that reproveth3 because they   
are a provoking house4    #c3bg4 ,but   
when ,i shall speak to thee1 ,i will    

open thy mouth1 and thou  shalt say to  
them3 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,he   
that heareth1 let him  hear3 and he that
 forbeareth1 let him forbear3 for they  
are a provoking  house4    ,ezechiel    
,chapter #d    ,a prophetic description 
of the siege of ,jerusalem1 and the     
famine that  shall reign there4    #d3a4
 ,and thou1 ,o son of man1 take thee a  
tile1 and lay it before thee3  and draw 
upon it the plan of the city of         
,jerusalem4    #d3b4 ,and lay siege     
against it1 and build forts1 and cast up
 a mount1 and  set a camp against it1   
and place battering rams round about it4
    #d3c4 ,and take unto thee an iron   
pan1 and set it for a wall of iron      
between thee and the city3 and set thy  
face resolutely against it1 and  it     
shall be besieged1 and thou shalt lay   
siege against it3 it is a sign  to the  
house of ,israel4    #d3d4 ,and thou    
shalt sleep upon thy left side1 and     
shalt lay the  iniquities of the house  
of ,israel upon it1 according to the    

number of  the days that thou shalt     
sleep upon it1 and thou shalt take upon 
thee  their iniquity4    #d3e4 ,and ,i  
have laid upon thee the years of their  
iniquity1 according to  the number of   
the days three hundred and ninety days3 
and thou shalt  bear the iniquity of the
 house of ,israel4    #d3f4 ,and when   
thou hast accomplished this1 thou shalt 
sleep again upon  thy right side1 and   
thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity  
of the house  of ,juda forty days3 a day
 for a year1 yea1 a day for a year ,i   
have  appointed to thee4    #d3g4 ,and  
thou shalt turn thy face to the siege of
 ,jerusalem and thy arm  shall be       
stretched out3 and thou shalt prophesy  
against it4    #d3h4 ,behold ,i have    
encompassed thee with bands3 and thou   
shalt not turn  thyself from one side to
 the other1 till thou hast ended the    
days of thy  siege4    #d3i4 ,and take  
to thee wheat and barley1 and beans1 and
 lentils1 and  millet1 and fitches1 and 
put them in one vessel1 and make thee   

bread  thereof according to the number  
of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy
  side3 three hundred and ninety days   
shalt thou eat thereof4    #d3aj4 ,and  
thy meat that thou shalt eat1 shall be  
in weight twenty  staters a day3 from   
time to time thou shalt eat it4         
#d3aa4 ,and thou shalt drink water by   
measure1 the sixth part of a hin3  from 
time to time thou shalt drink it1       
,hin444 ,that is1 a measure of liquids  
containing about ten pints4    #d3ab4   
,and thou shalt eat it as barley bread  
baked under the ashes3 and  thou shalt  
cover it1 in their sight1 with the dung 
that cometh out of a  man4    #d3ac4    
,and the ,lord said3 ,so shall the      
children of ,israel eat their bread  all
 filthy among the nations whither ,i    
will cast them out4    #d3ad4 ,and ,i   
said3 ,ah1 ah1 ah1 ,o ,lord ,god1 behold
 my soul hath not been  defiled1 and    
from my infancy even till now1 ,i have  
not eaten any thing  that died of       
itself1 or was torn by beasts1 and no   

unclean flesh hath  entered into my     
mouth4    #d3ae4 ,and he said to me3    
,behold ,i have given thee neat's dung  
for man's  dung1 and thou shalt make thy
 bread therewith4    #d3af4 ,and he said
 to me3 ,son of man3 ,behold1 ,i will   
break in pieces the  staff of bread in  
,jerusalem3 and they shall eat bread by 
weight1 and  with care3 and they shall  
drink water by measure1 and in distress4
    #d3ag4 ,so that when bread and water
 fail1 every man may fall against his   
brother1 and they may pine away in their
 iniquities4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #e   
,the judgments of ,god upon the ,jews   
are foreshewn under the type of the     
prophet's hair4    #e3a4 ,and thou1 son 
of man1 take thee a sharp knife that    
shaveth the  hair3 and cause it to pass 
over thy head1 and over thy beard3 and  
take  thee a balance to weigh in1 and   
divide the hair4    #e3b4 ,a third part 
thou shalt burn with fire in the midst  
of the city1  according to the          
fulfilling of the days of the siege3 and

 thou shalt  take a third part1 and cut 
it in pieces with the knife all round   
about3  and the other third part thou   
shalt scatter in the wind1 and ,i will  
draw  out the sword after them4    #e3c4
 ,and thou shalt take thereof a small   
number3 and shalt bind them in  the     
skirt of thy cloak4    #e3d4 ,and thou  
shalt take of them again1 and shalt cast
 them in the midst  of the fire1 and    
shalt burn them with fire3 and out of it
 shall come  forth a fire into all the  
house of ,israel4    #e3e4 ,thus saith  
the ,lord ,god3 ,this is ,jerusalem1 ,i 
have set her in the  midst of the       
nations1 and the countries round about  
her4    #e3f4 ,and she hath despised my 
judgments1 so as to be more wicked than 
the ,gentiles2 and my commandments1 more
 than the countries that are  round     
about her3 for they have cast off my    
judgments1 and have not  walked in my   
commandments4    #e3g4 ,therefore thus  
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,because you have 
surpassed the  ,gentiles that are round 

about you1 and have not walked in my    
commandments1 and have not kept my      
judgments1 and have not done  according 
to the judgments of the nations that are
 round about you3    #e3h4 ,therefore   
thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,behold ,i   
come against thee1 and  ,i myself will  
execute judgments in the midst of thee  
in the sight of the  ,gentiles4    #e3i4
 ,and ,i will do in thee that which ,i  
have not done3 and the like to  which ,i
 will do no more1 because of all thy    
abominations4    #e3aj4 ,therefore the  
fathers shall eat the sons in the midst 
of thee1 and  the sons shall eat their  
fathers3 and ,i will execute judgments  
in thee1  and ,i will scatter thy whole 
remnant into every wind4    #e3aa4      
,therefore as ,i live1 saith the ,lord  
,god3 ,because thou hast  violated my   
sanctuary with all thy offences1 and    
with all thy  abominations3 ,i will also
 break thee in pieces1 and my eye shall 
not  spare1 and ,i will not have any    
pity4    #e3ab4 ,a third part of thee   

shall die with the pestilence1 and shall
 be  consumed with famine in the midst  
of thee3 and a third part of thee  shall
 fall by the sword round about thee3 and
 a third part of thee will  ,i scatter  
into every wind1 and ,i will draw out a 
sword after them4    #e3ac4 ,and ,i will
 accomplish my fury1 and will cause my  
indignation to  rest upon them1 and ,i  
will be comforted3 and they shall know  
that ,i the  ,lord have spoken it in my 
zeal1 when ,i shall have accomplished my
  indignation in them4    #e3ad4 ,and ,i
 will make thee desolate1 and a reproach
 among the nations  that are round about
 thee1 in the sight of every one that   
passeth by4    #e3ae4 ,and thou shalt be
 a reproach1 and a scoff1 an example1   
and an  astonishment amongst the nations
 that are round about thee1 when ,i     
shall  have executed judgments in thee  
in anger1 and in indignation1 and in    
wrathful rebukes4    #e3af4 ,i the ,lord

you3 and  ,i will break among you the

upon thee4 ,i the ,lord have spoken it4 
,ezechiel ,chapter #f    ,the punishment
 of ,israel for their idolatry3 a

face towards the mountains of ,israel1

 the word of the ,lord ,god3  ,thus     
saith the ,lord ,god to the mountains1

 the valleys3 ,behold1 ,i will bring    
upon you the sword1 and ,i  will destroy
 your high places4    #f3d4 ,and ,i will
 throw down your altars1 and your idols

cast down your slain before your idols4

pieces3 and your idols shall  be no     
more1 and your temples shall be

fall in the midst of you3 and you shall 
know  that ,i am the ,lord4    #f3h4

shall escape the sword among the        
nations1 when ,i shall have scattered   
you through the countries4    #f3i4 ,and
 they that are saved of you shall       
remember me amongst the  nations1 to    
which they are carried captives3 because

faithless1 and revolted from me3 and    
their eyes that went  a fornicating     
after their idols3 and they shall be    
displeased with  themselves because of

,chapter #h    ,the prophet sees in a   
vision the abominations committed in    
,jerusalem2  which determine the ,lord  
to spare them no longer4    #h3a4 ,and  
it came to pass in the sixth year1 in   
the sixth month1 in the  fifth day of   
the month1 as ,i sat in my house1 and   
the ancients of ,juda  sat before me1   
that the hand of the ,lord ,god fell    
there upon me4    #h3b4 ,and ,i saw1 and
 behold a likeness as the appearance of 
fire3 from  the appearance of his loins1
 and downward1 fire3 and from his loins1
 and  upward1 as the appearance of      
brightness1 as the appearance of amber4 
#h3c4 ,and the likeness of a hand was   
put forth and took me by a lock of  my  
head3 and the spirit lifted me up       

between the earth and the heaven1  and  
brought me in the vision of ,god into   
,jerusalem1 near the inner gate1  that  
looked toward the north1 where was set  
the idol of jealousy to  provoke to     
jealousy4    #h3d4 ,and behold the glory
 of the ,god of ,israel was there1      
according to  the vision which ,i had   
seen in the plain4    #h3e4 ,and he said
 to me3 ,son of man1 lift up thy eyes   
towards the way of  the north1 and ,i   
lifted up my eyes towards the way of the
 north3 and  behold on the north side of
 the gate of the altar the idol of      
jealousy  in the very entry4    #h3f4   
,and he said to me3 ,son of man1 dost   
thou see1 thinkest thou1 what  these are
 doing1 the great abominations that the 
house of ,israel  committeth here1 that 
,i should depart far off from my        
sanctuary8 and  turn thee yet again and 
thou shalt see greater abominations4    
#h3g4 ,and he brought me in to the door 
of the court3 and ,i saw1 and  behold a 
hole in the wall4    #h3h4 ,and he said 

to me3 ,son of man1 dig in the wall1 and
 when ,i had  digged in the wall1 behold
 a door4    #h3i4 ,and he said to me3   
,go in1 and see the wicked abominations 
which  they commit here4    #h3aj4 ,and 
,i went in and saw1 and behold every    
form of creeping things1  and of living 
creatures1 the abominations1 and all the
 idols of the  house of ,israel1 were   
painted on the wall all round about4    
#h3aa4 ,and seventy men of the ancients 
of the house of ,israel1 and  ,jezonias 
the son of ,saaphan stood in the midst  
of them1 that stood  before the         
pictures3 and every one had a censer in 
his hand3 and a cloud  of smoke went up 
from the incense4    #h3ab4 ,and he said
 to me3 ,surely thou seest1 ,o son of   
man1 what the  ancients of the house of 
,israel do in the dark1 every one in    
private in  his chamber3 for they say3  
,the ,lord seeth us not1 the ,lord hath 
forsaken  the earth4    #h3ac4 ,and he  
said to me3 ,if thou turn thee again1   
thou shalt see greater  abominations    

which these commit4    #h3ad4 ,and he   
brought me in by the door of the gate of
 the ,lord's house1  which looked to the
 north3 and behold women sat there      
mourning for  ,adonis4    ,adonis444    
,the favourite of ,venus1 slain by a    
wild boar1 as feigned by  the heathen   
poets1 and which being here represented 
by an idol1 is  lamented by the female  
worshippers of that goddess4 ,in the    
,hebrew1 the  name is ,tammuz4    #h3ae4
 ,and he said to me3 ,surely thou hast  
seen1 ,o son of man3 but turn  thee     
again1 thou shalt see greater           
abominations than these4    #h3af4 ,and 
he brought me into the inner court of   
the house of the ,lord3  and behold at  
the door of the temple of the ,lord1    
between the porch and  the altar1 were  
about five and twenty men having their  
backs towards the  temple of the ,lord1 
in their faces to the east3 and they    
adored towards  the rising of the sun4  
#h3ag4 ,and he said to me3 ,surely thou 
hast seen1 ,o son of man3 is this a     

light thing to the house of ,juda1 that 
they should commit these  abominations  
which they have committed here3 because 
they have filled  the land with         
iniquity1 and have turned to provoke me 
to anger8 and  behold they put a branch 
to their nose4    #h3ah4 ,therefore ,i  
also will deal with them in my wrath3 my
 eye shall not  spare them1 neither will
 ,i shew mercy3 and when they shall cry 
to my  ears with a loud voice1 ,i will  
not hear them4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #i 
,all are ordered to be destroyed that   
are not marked in their foreheads4  ,god
 will not be entreated for them4        
#i3a4 ,and he cried in my ears with a   
loud voice1 saying3 ,the visitations  of
 the city are at hand1 and every one    
hath a destroying weapon in his  hand4  
#i3b4 ,and behold six men came from the 
way of the upper gate1 which  looketh to
 the north3 and each one had his weapon 
of destruction in his  hand3 and there  
was one man in the midst of them clothed
 with linen1  with a writer's inkhorn at

 his reins3 and they went in1 and stood 
by the  brazen altar4    #i3c4 ,and the 
glory of the ,lord of ,israel went up   
from the cherub1 upon  which he was1 to 
the threshold of the house3 and he      
called to the man  that was clothed with
 linen1 and had a writer's inkhorn at   
his loins4    #i3d4 ,and the ,lord said 
to him3 ,go through the midst of the    
city1 through  the midst of ,jerusalem3 
and mark ,thau upon the foreheads of the
 men that  sigh1 and mourn for all the  
abominations that are committed in the  
midst  thereof4    ,mark ,thau444 ,thau1
 or ,tau1 is the last letter in the     
,hebrew alphabet1  and signifies a sign1
 or a mark2 which is the reason why some
  translators render this place set a   
mark1 or mark a mark without  specifying
 what this mark was4 ,but ,st4 ,jerome1 
and other interpreters1  conclude it was
 the form of the letter ,thau1 which in 
the ancient ,hebrew  character1 was the 
form of a cross4    #i3e4 ,and to the   
others he said in my hearing3 ,go ye    

after him through  the city1 and strike3
 let not your eyes spare1 nor be ye     
moved with  pity4    #i3f4 ,utterly     
destroy old and young1 maidens1 children
 and women3 but  upon whomsoever you    
shall see ,thau1 kill him not1 and begin
 ye at my  sanctuary4 ,so they began at 
the ancient men who were before the     
house4    #i3g4 ,and he said to them3   
,defile the house1 and fill the courts  
with the  slain3 go ye forth4 ,and they 
went forth1 and slew them that were in  
the  city4    #i3h4 ,and the slaughter  
being ended ,i was left2 and ,i fell    
upon my face1  and crying1 ,i said3     
,alas1 alas1 alas1 ,o ,lord ,god1 wilt  
thou then destroy  all the remnant of   
,israel1 by pouring out thy fury upon   
,jerusalem8    #i3i4 ,and he said to me3
 ,the iniquity of the house of ,israel1 
and of  ,juda1 is exceeding great1 and  
the land is filled with blood1 and the  
city is filled with perverseness3 for   
they have said3 ,the ,lord hath         
forsaken the earth1 and the ,lord seeth 

not4    #i3aj4 ,therefore neither shall 
my eye spare1 nor will ,i have pity3 ,i 
will  requite their way upon their head4
    #i3aa4 ,and behold the man that was 
clothed with linen1 that had the        
inkhorn at his back1 returned the word1 
saying3 ,i have done as thou hast       
commanded me4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #aj 
,fire is taken from the midst of the    
wheels under the cherubims1 and         
scattered over the city4 ,a description 
of the cherubims4    #aj3a4 ,and ,i saw 
and behold in the firmament that was    
over the heads of  the cherubims1 there 
appeared over them as it were the       
sapphire stone1  as the appearance of   
the likeness of a throne4    #aj3b4 ,and
 he spoke to the man1 that was clothed  
with linen1 and said3 ,go  in between   
the wheels that are under the cherubims 
and fill thy hand  with the coals of    
fire that are between the cherubims1 and
 pour them out  upon the city4 ,and he  
went in1 in my sight3    #aj3c4 ,and the
 cherubims stood on the right side of   

the house1 when the  man went in1 and a 
cloud filled the inner court4    #aj3d4 
,and the glory of the ,lord was lifted  
up from above the cherub to  the        
threshold of the house3 and the house   
was filled with the cloud1 and  the     
court was filled with the brightness of 
the glory of the ,lord4    #aj3e4 ,and  
the sound of the wings of the cherubims 
was heard even to the  outward court as 
the voice of ,god ,almighty speaking4   
#aj3f4 ,and when he had commanded the   
man that was clothed with linen1        
saying3 ,take fire from the midst of the
 wheels that are between the  cherubims3
 he went in and stood beside the wheel4 
#aj3g4 ,and one cherub stretched out his
 arm from the midst of the  cherubims to
 the fire that was between the          
cherubims3 and he took1 and  put it into
 the hands of him that was clothed with 
linen3 who took it  and went forth4     
#aj3h4 ,and there appeared in the       
cherubims the likeness of a man's hand  
under their wings4    #aj3i4 ,and ,i    

saw1 and behold there were four wheels  
by the cherubims3 one  wheel by one     
cherub1 and another wheel by another    
cherub3 and the  appearance of the      
wheels was to the sight like the        
chrysolite stone3    #aj3aj4 ,and as to 
their appearance1 all four were alike3  
as if a wheel  were in the midst of a   
wheel4    #aj3aa4 ,and when they went1  
they went by four ways3 and they turned 
not  when they went3 but to the place   
whither they first turned1 the rest     
also followed1 and did not turn back4   
,by four ways444 ,that is1 by any of the
 four ways1 forward1 backward1 to  the  
right or to the left4    #aj3ab4 ,and   
their whole body1 and their necks1 and  
their hands1 and their  wings1 and the  
circles were full of eyes1 round about  
the four wheels4    #aj3ac4 ,and these  
wheels he called voluble1 in my hearing4
    ,voluble444 ,that is1 rolling       
wheels1 galgal4    #aj3ad4 ,and every   
one had four faces3 one face was the    
face of a cherub1  and the second face1 

the face of a man3 and in the third was 
the face of  a lion3 and in the fourth  
the face of an eagle4    #aj3ae4 ,and   
the cherubims were lifted up3 this is   
the living creature  that ,i had seen by
 the river ,chobar4    #aj3af4 ,and when
 the cherubims went1 the wheels also    
went by them3 and  when the cherubims   
lifted up their wings1 to mount up from 
the earth1  the wheels stayed not       
behind1 but were by them4    #aj3ag4    
,when they stood1 these stood3 and when 
they were lifted up1 these  were lifted 
up3 for the spirit of life was in them4 
#aj3ah4 ,and the glory of the ,lord went
 forth from the threshold of the        
temple3 and stood over the cherubims4   
#aj3ai4 ,and the cherubims lifting up   
their wings1 were raised from the  earth
 before me3 and as they went out1 the   
wheels also followed3 and it  stood in  
the entry of the east gate of the house 
of the ,lord3 and the  glory of the ,god
 of ,israel was over them4    #aj3bj4   
,this is the living creature1 which ,i  

saw under the ,god of ,israel  by the   
river ,chobar3 and ,i understood that   
they were cherubims4    #aj3ba4 ,each   
one had four faces1 and each one had    
four wings3 and the  likeness of a man's
 hand was under their wings4    #aj3bb4 
,and as to the likeness of their faces1 
they were the same faces  which ,i had  
seen by the river ,chobar1 and their    
looks1 and the impulse  of every one to 
go straight forward4    ,ezechiel       
,chapter #aa    ,a prophecy against the 
presumptuous assurance of the great     
ones4 ,a  remnant shall be saved1 and   
receive a new spirit1 and a new heart4  
#aa3a4 ,and the spirit lifted me up1 and
 brought me into the east gate of  the  
house of the ,lord1 which looketh       
towards the rising of the sun3 and      
behold in the entry of the gate five and
 twenty men3 and ,i saw in the  midst of
 them ,jezonias the son of ,azur1 and   
,pheltias the son of ,banaias1  princes 
of the people4    #aa3b4 ,and he said to
 me3 ,son of man1 these are the men that

 study  iniquity1 and frame a wicked    
counsel in this city1    #aa3c4 ,saying3
 ,were not houses lately built8 ,this   
city is the caldron1  and we the flesh4 
,were not houses lately built1 etc444   
,these men despised the predictions  and
 threats of the prophets2 who declared  
to them from ,god1 that the  city should
 be destroyed1 and the inhabitants      
carried into captivity3  and they made  
use of this kind of argument against the
 prophets1 that  the city1 so far from  
being like to be destroyed1 had lately  
been  augmented by the building of new  
houses2 from whence they further        
inferred1 by way of a proverb1 using the
 similitude of a cauldron1 out  of which
 the flesh is not taken1 till it is     
thoroughly boiled1 and fit  to be eaten1
 that they should not be carried away   
out of their city1 but  there end their 
days in peace4    #aa3d4 ,therefore     
prophesy against them1 prophesy1 thou   
son of man4    #aa3e4 ,and the spirit of
 the ,lord fell upon me1 and said to me3

 ,speak3  ,thus saith the ,lord3 ,thus  
have you spoken1 ,o house of ,israel1   
for ,i know  the thoughts of your heart4
    #aa3f4 ,you have killed a great many
 in this city1 and you have filled the  
streets thereof with the slain4         
#aa3g4 ,therefore thus saith the ,lord  
,god3 ,your slain1 whom you have laid   
in the midst thereof1 they are the      
flesh1 all this is the caldron3 and ,i  
will bring you forth out of the midst   
thereof4    #aa3h4 ,you have feared the 
sword1 and ,i will bring the sword upon 
you1  saith the ,lord ,god4    #aa3i4   
,and ,i will cast you out of the midst  
thereof1 and ,i will deliver  you into  
the hand of the enemies1 and ,i will    
execute judgments upon you4    #aa3aj4  
,you shall fall by the sword3 ,i will   
judge you in the borders of  ,israel1   
and you shall know that ,i am the ,lord4
    ,in the borders of ,israel444 ,they 
pretended that they should die in peace 
in ,jerusalem2 ,god tells them it should
 not be so2 but that they should  be    

judged and condemned1 and fall by the   
sword in the borders of ,israel3  viz41 
in ,reblatha in the land of ,emath1     
where all their chief men were  put to  
death by ,nabuchodonosor4 #d ,kings     
#be41 and ,jer4 #eb4aj1 #bg4    #aa3aa4 
,this shall not be as a caldron to you1 
and you shall not be as  flesh in the   
midst thereof3 ,i will judge you in the 
borders of ,israel4    #aa3ab4 ,and you 
shall know that ,i am the ,lord3 because
 you have not  walked in my             
commandments1 and have not done my      
judgments1 but you have  done according 
to the judgments of the nations that are
 round about you4    #aa3ac4 ,and it    
came to pass1 when ,i prophesied1 that  
,pheltias the son of  ,banaias died3 and
 ,i fell down upon my face1 and ,i cried
 with a loud  voice3 and said3 ,alas1   
alas1 alas1 ,o ,lord ,god3 wilt thou    
make an end of  all the remnant of      
,israel8    #aa3ad4 ,and the word of the
 ,lord came to me1 saying3    #aa3ae4   
,son of man1 thy brethren1 thy brethren1

 thy kinsmen1 and all the  house of     
,israel1 all they to whom the           
inhabitants of ,jerusalem have  said3   
,get ye far from the ,lord1 the land is 
given in possession to us4    ,thy      
brethren1 etc444 ,he speaks of them that
 had been carried away  captives before2
 who were despised by them that remained
 in ,jerusalem3  but as the prophet here
 declares to them from ,god1 should be  
in a more  happy condition than they1   
and after some time return from their   
captivity4    #aa3af4 ,therefore thus   
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,because ,i have  
removed them  far off among the         
,gentiles1 and because ,i have scattered
 them among the  countries3 ,i will be  
to them a little sanctuary in the       
countries whither  they are come4       
#aa3ag4 ,therefore speak to them3 ,thus 
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,i will gather    
you from among the peoples1 and assemble
 you out of the countries  wherein you  
are scattered1 and ,i will give you the 
land of ,israel4    #aa3ah4 ,and they   

shall go in thither1 and shall take away
 all the  scandals1 and all the         
abominations thereof from thence4       
#aa3ai4 ,and ,i will give them one      
heart1 and will put a new spirit in     
their bowels3 and ,i will take away the 
stony heart out of their flesh1  and    
will give them a heart of flesh3        
#aa3bj4 ,that they may walk in my       
commandments1 and keep my judgments1 and
  do them3 and that they may be my      
people1 and ,i may be their ,god4       
#aa3ba4 ,but as for them whose heart    
walketh after their scandals and        
abominations1 ,i will lay their way upon
 their head1 saith the ,lord ,god4      
#aa3bb4 ,and the cherubims lifted up    
their wings1 and the wheels with  them3 
and the glory of the ,god of ,israel was
 over them4    #aa3bc4 ,and the glory of
 the ,lord went up from the midst of the
 city1 and  stood over the mount that is
 on the east side of the city4          
#aa3bd4 ,and the spirit lifted me up1   
and brought me into ,chaldea1 to them   

of the captivity1 in vision1 by the     
spirit of ,god3 and the vision which  ,i
 had seen was taken up from me4         
#aa3be4 ,and ,i spoke to them of the    
captivity all the words of the ,lord1   
which he had shewn me4    ,ezechiel     
,chapter #ab    ,the prophet forsheweth1
 by signs1 the captivity of ,sedecias1  
and the  desolation of the people3 all  
which shall quickly come to pass4       
#ab3a4 ,and the word of the ,lord came  
to me1 saying3    #ab3b4 ,son of man1   
thou dwellest in the midst of a         
provoking house3 who  have eyes to see1 
and see not3 and ears to hear1 and hear 
not3 for they  are a provoking house4   
#ab3c4 ,thou1 therefore1 ,o son of man1 
prepare thee all necessaries for        
removing1 and remove by day into their  
sight3 and thou shalt remove out  of thy
 place to another place in their sight1 
if so be they will regard  it3 for they 
are a provoking house4    #ab3d4 ,and   
thou shalt bring forth thy furniture as 
the furniture of one  that is removing  

by day in their sight3 and thou shalt go
 forth in the  evening in their         
presence1 as one goeth forth that       
removeth his  dwelling4    #ab3e4 ,dig  
thee a way through the wall before their
 eyes3 and thou shalt  go forth through 
it4    #ab3f4 ,in their sight thou shalt
 be carried out upon men's shoulders1   
thou shalt be carried out in the dark3  
thou shalt cover thy face1 and  shalt   
not see the ground3 for ,i have set thee
 for a sign of things to  come to the   
house of ,israel4    #ab3g4 ,i did      
therefore as he had commanded me3 ,i    
brought forth my goods  by day1 as the  
goods of one that removeth3 and in the  
evening ,i digged  through the wall with
 my hand1 and ,i went forth in the dark1
 and was  carried on men's shoulders in 
their sight4    #ab3h4 ,and the word of 
the ,lord came to me in the morning1    
saying3    #ab3i4 ,son of man1 hath not 
the house of ,israel1 the provoking     
house1  said to thee3 ,what art thou    
doing8    #ab3aj4 ,say to them3 ,thus   

saith the ,lord ,god3 ,this burden      
concerneth my  prince that is in        
,jerusalem1 and all the house of        
,israel1 that are among  them4          
#ab3aa4 ,say3 ,i am a sign of things to 
come to you3 as ,i have done1 so  shall 
it be done to them3 they shall be       
removed from their dwellings1  and go   
into captivity4    #ab3ab4 ,and the     
prince that is in the midst of them1    
shall be carried on  shoulders1 he shall
 go forth in the dark3 they shall dig   
through the  wall to bring him out3 his 
face shall be covered1 that he may not  
see  the ground with his eyes4          
#ab3ac4 ,and ,i will spread my net over 
him1 and he shall be taken in my  net3  
and ,i will bring him into ,babylon1    
into the land of the ,chaldeans1  and he
 shall not see it1 and there he shall   
die4    ,he shall not see it444 ,because
 his eyes shall be put out by           
,nabuchodonosor4    #ab3ad4 ,and all    
that are about him1 his guards1 and his 
troops ,i will  scatter into every wind3

 and ,i will draw out the sword after   
them4    #ab3ae4 ,and they shall know   
that ,i am the ,lord1 when ,i shall have
  dispersed them among the nations1 and 
scattered them in the countries4        
#ab3af4 ,and ,i will leave a few men of 
them from the sword1 and from the       
famine1 and from the pestilence3 that   
they may declare all their wicked  deeds
 among the nations whither they shall   
go3 and they shall know that  ,i am the 
,lord4    #ab3ag4 ,and the word of the  
,lord came to me1 saying3    #ab3ah4    
,son of man1 eat thy bread in trouble   
and drink thy water in hurry  and       
sorrow4    #ab3ai4 ,and say to the      
people of the land3 ,thus saith the     
,lord ,god to  them that dwell in       
,jerusalem in the land of ,israel3 ,they
 shall eat their  bread in care1 and    
drink their water in desolation3 that   
the land may  become desolate from the  
multitude that is therein1 for the      
iniquity of  all that dwell therein4    
#ab3bj4 ,and the cities that are now    

inhabited shall be laid waste1 and  the 
land shall be desolate3 and you shall   
know that ,i am the ,lord4    #ab3ba4   
,and the word of the ,lord came to me1  
saying3    #ab3bb4 ,son of man1 what is 
this proverb that you have in the land  
of  ,israel8 saying3 ,the days shall be 
prolonged1 and every vision shall  fail4
    #ab3bc4 ,say to them therefore3     
,thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,i will make
 this  proverb to cease1 neither shall  
it be any more a common saying in       
,israel3 and tell them that the days are
 at hand1 and the effect of every       
vision4    #ab3bd4 ,for there shall be  
no more any vain visions1 nor doubtful  
divination in the midst of the children 
of ,israel4    #ab3be4 ,for ,i the ,lord
 will speak3 and what word soever ,i    
shall speak1 it  shall come to pass1 and
 shall not be prolonged any more3 but in
 your  days1 ye provoking house1 ,i will
 speak the word1 and will do it1 saith  
the ,lord ,god4    #ab3bf4 ,and the word
 of the ,lord came to me1 saying3       

#ab3bg4 ,son of man1 behold the house of
 ,israel1 they that say3 ,the  visions  
that this man seeth1 is for many days to
 come3 and this man  prophesieth of     
times afar off4    #ab3bh4 ,therefore   
say to them3 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3
 not one word of  mine shall be         
prolonged any more3 the word that ,i    
shall speak shall be  accomplished1     
saith the ,lord ,god4    ,ezechiel      
,chapter #ac    ,god declares against   
false prophets and prophetesses1 that   
deceive the  people with lies4    #ac3a4
 ,and the word of the ,lord came to me1 
saying3    #ac3b4 ,son of man1 prophesy 
thou against the prophets of ,israel    
that  prophesy3 and thou shalt say to   
them that prophesy out of their own     
heart3 ,hear ye the word of the ,lord3  
#ac3c4 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,woe 
to the foolish prophets that follow     
their own spirit1 and see nothing4      
#ac3d4 ,thy prophets1 ,o ,israel1 were  
like foxes in the deserts4    #ac3e4    
,you have not gone up to face the enemy1

 nor have you set up a wall  for the    
house of ,israel1 to stand in battle in 
the day of the ,lord4    #ac3f4 ,they   
see vain things1 and they foretell lies1
 saying3 ,the ,lord  saith3 whereas the 
,lord hath not sent them3 and they have 
persisted to  confirm what they have    
said4    #ac3g4 ,have you not seen a    
vain vision and spoken a lying          
divination3 and  you say3 ,the ,lord    
saith3 whereas ,i have not spoken4      
#ac3h4 ,therefore thus saith the ,lord  
,god3 ,because you have spoken vain     
things1 and have seen lies3 therefore   
behold ,i come against you1 saith  the  
,lord ,god4    #ac3i4 ,and my hand shall
 be upon the prophets that see vain     
things1 and  that divine lies3 they     
shall not be in the council of my       
people1 nor  shall they be written in   
the writing of the house of ,israel1    
neither  shall they enter into the land 
of ,israel1 and you shall know that ,i  
am  the ,lord ,god4    #ac3aj4 ,because 
they have deceived my people1 saying3   

,peace1 and there is  no peace3 and the 
people built up a wall1 and they daubed 
it with dirt  without straw4    #ac3aa4 
,say to them that daub without          
tempering1 that it shall fall3 for      
there shall be an overflowing shower1   
and ,i will cause great hailstones  to  
fall violently from above1 and a stormy 
wind to throw it down4    #ac3ab4       
,behold1 when the wall is fallen3 shall 
it not be said to you3  ,where is the   
daubing wherewith you have daubed it8   
#ac3ac4 ,therefore thus saith the ,lord 
,god3 ,lo1 ,i will cause a stormy wind  
to break forth in my indignation1 and   
there shall be an overflowing  shower in
 my anger3 and great hailstones in my   
wrath to consume4    #ac3ad4 ,and ,i    
will break down the wall that you have  
daubed with  untempered mortar3 and ,i  
will make it even with the ground1 and  
the  foundation thereof shall be laid   
bare3 and it shall fall1 and shall be   
consumed in the midst thereof3 and you  
shall know that ,i am the ,lord4        

#ac3ae4 ,and ,i will accomplish my wrath
 upon the wall1 and upon them that  daub
 it without tempering the mortar1 and ,i
 will say to you3 ,the wall is  no more1
 and they that daub it are no more4     
#ac3af4 ,even the prophets of ,israel   
that prophesy to ,jerusalem1 and that   
see visions of peace for her3 and there 
is no peace1 saith the ,lord ,god4      
#ac3ag4 ,and thou1 son of man1 set thy  
face against the daughters of thy       
people that prophesy out of their own   
heart3 and do thou prophesy  against    
them1    #ac3ah4 ,and say3 ,thus saith  
the ,lord ,god3 ,woe to them that sew   
cushions  under every elbow3 and make   
pillows for the heads of persons of     
every  age to catch souls3 and when they
 caught the souls of my people1 they    
gave life to their souls4    ,sew       
cushions1 etc444 ,viz41 by making people
 easy in their sins1 and  promising them
 impunity4-,ibid4 ,they gave life to    
their souls444 ,that is1  they flattered
 them with promises of life1 peace1 and 

security4    #ac3ai4 ,and they violated 
me among my people1 for a handful of    
barley1  and a piece of bread1 to kill  
souls which should not die1 and to save 
souls alive which should not live1      
telling lies to my people that  believe 
lies4    ,violated me444 ,that is1      
dishonoured and discredited me4 ,ibid4  
,to kill  souls1 etc444 ,that is1 to    
sentence souls to death1 which are not  
to die2  and to promise life to them who
 are not to live4    #ac3bj4 ,therefore 
thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,behold ,i   
declare against your  cushions1         
wherewith you catch flying souls3 and ,i
 will tear them off  from your arms3 and
 ,i will let go the soul that you catch1
 the souls  that should fly4    #ac3ba4 
,and ,i will tear your pillows1 and will
 deliver my people out of  your hand1   
neither shall they be any more in your  
hands to be a prey3  and you shall know 
that ,i am the ,lord4    #ac3bb4        
,because with lies you have made the    
heart of the just to mourn1  whom ,i    

have not made sorrowful3 and have       
strengthened the hands of the  wicked1  
that he should not return from his evil 
way1 and live4    #ac3bc4 ,therefore you
 shall not see vain things1 nor divine  
divinations  any more1 and ,i will      
deliver my people out of your hand3 and 
you shall  know that ,i am the ,lord4   
,ezechiel ,chapter #ad    ,god suffers  
the wicked to be deceived in punishment 
of their wickedness4  ,the evils that   
shall come upon them for their sins3 for
 which they shall  not be delivered by  
the prayers of ,noe1 ,daniel1 and ,job4 
,but a remnant  shall be preserved4     
#ad3a4 ,and some of the ancients of     
,israel came to me1 and sat before me4  
#ad3b4 ,and the word of the ,lord came  
to me1 saying3    #ad3c4 ,son of man1   
these men have placed their             
uncleannesses in their  hearts1 and have
 set up before their face the           
stumblingblock of their  iniquity3 and  
shall ,i answer when they inquire of me8
    ,uncleanness444 ,that is1 their     

filthy idols1 upon which they have set  
their hearts3 and which are a           
stumblingblock to their souls4    #ad3d4
 ,therefore speak to them1 and say to   
them3 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3  ,man1
 man of the house of ,israel that shall 
place his uncleannesses in  his heart1  
and set up the stumblingblock of his    
iniquity before his  face1 and shall    
come to the prophet inquiring of me by  
him3 ,i the ,lord  will answer him      
according to the multitude of his       
uncleannesses3    ,man1 man444 ,that is1
 every man1 an ,hebrew expression4      
#ad3e4 ,that the house of ,israel may be
 caught in their own heart1 with  which 
they have departed from me through all  
their idols4    #ad3f4 ,therefore say to
 the house of ,israel3 ,thus saith the  
,lord ,god3 ,be  converted1 and depart  
from your idols1 and turn away your     
faces from all  your abominations4      
#ad3g4 ,for every man of the house of   
,israel1 and every stranger among the   
proselytes in ,israel1 if he separate   

himself from me1 and place his  idols in
 his heart1 and set the stumblingblock  
of his iniquity before  his face1 and   
come to the prophet to inquire of me by 
him3 ,i the ,lord  will answer him by   
myself4    #ad3h4 ,and ,i will set my   
face against that man1 and will make him
 an  example1 and a proverb1 and will   
cut him off from the midst of my        
people3 and you shall know that ,i am   
the ,lord4    #ad3i4 ,and when the      
prophet shall err1 and speak a word3 ,i 
the ,lord have  deceived that prophet3  
and ,i will stretch forth my hand upon  
him1 and  will cut him off from the     
midst of my people ,israel4    ,the     
prophet shall err1 etc444 ,he speaks of 
false prophets1 answering out  of their 
own heads and according to their own    
corrupt inclinations4  ,ibid4 ,i have   
deceived that prophet444 ,god ,almighty 
deceives false  prophets1 partly by     
withdrawing his light from them2 and    
abandoning them  to their own corrupt   
inclinations1 which push them on to     

prophesy such  things as are agreeable  
to those who consult them3 and partly by
  disappointing them1 and causing all   
thing to happen contrary to what  they  
have said4    #ad3aj4 ,and they shall   
bear their iniquity3 according to the   
iniquity of  him that inquireth1 so     
shall the iniquity of the prophet be4   
#ad3aa4 ,that the house of ,israel may  
go no more astray from me1 nor be       
polluted with all their transgressions3 
but may be my people1 and ,i may  be    
their ,god1 saith the ,lord of hosts4   
#ad3ab4 ,and the word of the ,lord came 
to me1 saying3    #ad3ac4 ,son of man1  
when a land shall sin against me1 so as 
to transgress  grievously1 ,i will      
stretch forth my hand upon it1 and will 
break the  staff of the bread thereof3  
and ,i will send famine upon it1 and    
will  destroy man and beast out of it4  
#ad3ad4 ,and if these three men1 ,noe1  
,daniel1 and ,job1 shall be in it3  they
 shall deliver their own souls by their 
justice1 saith the ,lord of  hosts4     

#ad3ae4 ,and if ,i shall bring          
mischievous beasts also upon the land to
  waste it1 and it be desolate1 so that 
there is none that can pass  because of 
the beasts3    #ad3af4 ,if these three  
men shall be in it1 as ,i live1 saith   
the ,lord1  they shall deliver neither  
sons nor daughters3 but they only shall 
be  delivered1 and the land shall be    
made desolate4    #ad3ag4 ,or if ,i     
bring the sword upon that land1 and say 
to the sword3  ,pass through the land3  
and ,i destroy man and beast out of it3 
#ad3ah4 ,and these three men be in the  
midst thereof3 as ,i live1 saith the    
,lord ,god1 they shall deliver neither  
sons nor daughters1 but they  themselves
 alone shall be delivered4    #ad3ai4   
,or if ,i also send the pestilence upon 
that land1 and pour out my  indignation 
upon it in blood1 to cut off from it man
 and beast3    #ad3bj4 ,and ,noe1 and   
,daniel1 and ,job be in the midst       
thereof3 as ,i live1  saith the ,lord   
,god1 they shall deliver neither son nor

 daughter3 but  they shall only deliver 
their own souls by their justice4       
#ad3ba4 ,for thus saith the ,lord3      
,although ,i shall send in upon         
,jerusalem  my four grievous judgments1 
the sword1 and the famine1 and the      
mischievous beasts1 and the pestilence1 
to destroy out of it man and  beast1    
#ad3bb4 ,yet there shall be left in it  
some that shall be saved1 who shall     
bring away their sons and daughters3    
behold they shall come among you1  and  
you shall see their way1 and their      
doings3 and you shall be  comforted     
concerning the evil that ,i have brought
 upon ,jerusalem1 in all  things that ,i
 have brought upon it4    #ad3bc4 ,and  
they shall comfort you1 when you shall  
see their ways1 and  their doings3 and  
you shall know that ,i have not done    
without cause all  that ,i have done in 
it1 saith the ,lord ,god4    ,ezechiel  
,chapter #ae    ,as a vine cut down is  
fit for nothing but the fire2 so it     
shall be with  ,jerusalem1 for her sins4

    #ae3a4 ,and the word of the ,lord   
came to me1 saying3    #ae3b4 ,son of   
man1 what shall be made of the wood of  
the vine1 out of all  the trees of the  
woods that are among the trees of the   
forests8    #ae3c4 ,shall wood be taken 
of it1 to do any work1 or shall a pin be
 made  of it for any vessel to hang     
thereon8    #ae3d4 ,behold it is cast   
into the fire for fuel3 the fire hath   
consumed  both ends thereof1 and the    
midst thereof is reduced to ashes3 shall
 it  be useful for any work8    #ae3e4  
,even when it was whole it was not fit  
for work3 how much less1  when the fire 
hath devoured and consumed it1 shall any
 work be made of  it8    #ae3f4         
,therefore thus saith the ,lord ,god3   
,as the vine tree among the  trees of   
the forests which ,i have given to the  
fire to be consumed1 so  will ,i deliver
 up the inhabitants of ,jerusalem4

them3 they shall go out from fire1  and 
fire shall consume them3 and you shall  

know that ,i am the ,lord1 when  ,i     
shall have set my face against them4    
#ae3h4 ,and ,i shall have made their    
land a wilderness1 and desolate1        
because they have been transgressors1   
saith the ,lord ,god4    ,ezechiel      
,chapter #af    ,under the figure of an 
unfaithful wife1 ,god upbraids          
,jerusalem with her  ingratitude and    
manifold disloyalties3 but promiseth    
mercy by a new  covenant4    #af3a4 ,and
 the word of the ,lord came to me1      
saying3    #af3b4 ,son of man1 make     
known to ,jerusalem her abominations4   
,make known to ,jerusalem444 ,that is1  
by letters1 for the prophet was then  in
 ,babylon4    #af3c4 ,and thou shalt    
say3 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god to      
,jerusalem3 ,thy  root1 and thy nativity
 is of the land of ,chanaan1 thy father 
was an  ,amorrhite1 and thy mother a    
,cethite4    #af3d4 ,and when thou wast 
born1 in the day of thy nativity thy    
navel was  not cut1 neither wast thou   
washed with water for thy health1 nor   

salted  with salt1 nor swaddled with    
clouts4    #af3e4 ,no eye had pity on   
thee to do any of these things for thee1
 out of  compassion to thee3 but thou   
wast cast out upon the face of the earth
 in  the abjection of thy soul1 in the  
day that thou wast born4    #af3f4 ,and 
passing by thee1 ,i saw that thou wast  
trodden under foot in  thy own blood3   
and ,i said to thee when thou wast in   
thy blood3 ,live3 ,i  have said to thee3
 ,live in thy blood4    #af3g4 ,i caused
 thee to multiply as the bud of the     
field3 and thou didst  increase and grow
 great1 and advancedst1 and camest to   
woman's ornament3  thy breasts were     
fashioned1 and thy hair grew3 and thou  
was naked1 and  full of confusion4      
#af3h4 ,and ,i passed by thee1 and saw  
thee3 and behold thy time was the  time 
of lovers3 and ,i spread my garment over
 thee1 and covered thy  ignominy and ,i 
swore to thee1 and ,i entered into a    
covenant with thee1  saith the ,lord    
,god3 and thou becamest mine4    #af3i4 

,and ,i washed thee with water1 and     
cleansed away thy blood from  thee3 and 
,i anointed thee with oil4    #af3aj4   
,and ,i clothed thee with embroidery1   
and shod thee with violet  coloured     
shoes3 and ,i girded thee about with    
fine linen1 and clothed  thee with fine 
garments4    #af3aa4 ,i decked thee also
 with ornaments1 and put bracelets on   
thy  hands1 and a chain about thy neck4 
,i decked thee also with ornaments1     
etc444 ,that is1 with spiritual         
benefits1 giving you a law with         
sacrifices1 sacraments1 and other holy  
rites4    #af3ab4 ,and ,i put a jewel   
upon thy forehead and earrings in thy   
ears1 and  a beautiful crown upon thy   
head4    #af3ac4 ,and thou wast adorned 
with gold1 and silver1 and wast clothed 
with fine linen1 and embroidered work1  
and many colours3 thou didst eat  fine  
flour1 and honey1 and oil1 and wast made
 exceeding beautiful3 and  wast advanced
 to be a queen4    #af3ad4 ,and thy     
renown went forth among the nations for 

thy beauty3 for  thou wast perfect      
through my beauty1 which ,i had put upon
 thee1 saith  the ,lord ,god4    #af3ae4
 ,but trusting in thy beauty1 thou      
playedst the harlot because of  thy     
renown1 and thou hast prostituted       
thyself to every passenger1 to be  his4 
#af3af4 ,and taking of thy garments thou
 hast made thee high places sewed       
together on each side3 and hast played  
the harlot upon them1 as hath not  been 
done before1 nor shall be hereafter4    
#af3ag4 ,and thou tookest thy beautiful 
vessels1 of my gold1 and my  silver1    
which ,i gave thee1 and thou madest thee
 images of men1 and hast  committed     
fornication with them4    #af3ah4 ,and  
thou tookest thy garments of divers     
colours1 and coveredst  them3 and       
settest my oil and my sweet incense     
before them4    #af3ai4 ,and my bread   
which ,i gave thee1 the fine flour1 and 
oil1 and  honey1 wherewith ,i fed thee1 
thou hast set before them for a sweet   
odour2 and it was done1 saith the ,lord 

,god4    #af3bj4 ,and thou hast taken   
thy sons1 and thy daughters1 whom thou  
hast  borne to me3 and hast sacrificed  
the same to them to be devoured4 ,is thy
  fornication small8    #af3ba4 ,thou   
hast sacrificed and given my children to
 them1 consecrating  them by fire4      
,thou hast sacrificed1 etc444 ,as there 
is nothing more base and  abominable    
than the crimes mentioned throughout    
this chapter2 so the  infidelities of   
the ,israelites in forsaking ,god1 and  
sacrificing even  their children to     
idols1 are strongly figured by these    
allegories4    #af3bb4 ,and after all   
thy abominations1 and fornications1 thou
 hast not  remembered the days of thy   
youth1 when thou wast naked1 and full of
  confusion1 trodden under foot in thy  
own blood4    #af3bc4 ,and it came to   
pass after all thy wickedness 7woe1 woe 
to thee1  saith the ,lord ,god7         
#af3bd4 ,that thou didst also build thee
 a common stew1 and madest thee a       
brothel house in every street4          

#af3be4 ,at every head of the way thou  
hast set up a sign of thy  prostitution3
 and hast made thy beauty to be         
abominable3 and hast  prostituted       
thyself to every one that passed by1 and
 hast multiplied thy  fornications4     
#af3bf4 ,and thou hast committed        
fornication with the ,egyptians thy     
neighbours1 men of large bodies1 and    
hast multiplied thy fornications to     
provoke me4    #af3bg4 ,behold1 ,i will 
stretch out my hand upon thee1 and will 
take away  thy justification3 and ,i    
will deliver thee up to the will of the 
daughters of the ,philistines that hate 
thee1 that are ashamed of thy  wicked   
way4    #af3bh4 ,thou hast also         
committed fornication with the          
,assyrians1 because  thou wast not yet  
satisfied3 and after thou hadst played  
the harlot with  them1 even so thou wast
 not contented4    #af3bi4 ,thou hast   
also multiplied thy fornications in the 
land of ,chanaan  with the ,chaldeans3  
and neither so wast thou satisfied4     

#af3cj4 ,wherein shall ,i cleanse thy   
heart1 saith ,lord ,god3 seeing thou    
dost all these the works of a shameless 
prostitute8    #af3ca4 ,because thou    
hast built thy brothel house at the head
 of every  way1 and thou hast made thy  
high place in every street3 and wast not
 as  a harlot that by disdain enhanceth 
her price1    #af3cb4 ,but is an        
adulteress1 that bringeth in strangers  
over her  husband4    #af3cc4 ,gifts are
 given to all harlots3 but thou hast    
given hire to all  thy lovers1 and thou 
hast given them gifts to come to thee   
from every  side1 to commit fornication 
with thee4    #af3cd4 ,and it hath      
happened in thee contrary to the custom 
of women in  thy fornications1 and after
 thee there shall be no such            
fornication1 for  in that thou gavest   
rewards1 and didst not take rewards1 the
 contrary  hath been done in thee4      
#af3ce4 ,therefore1 ,o harlot1 hear the 
word of the ,lord4    #af3cf4 ,thus     
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,because thy money

 hath been poured out1  and thy shame   
discovered through thy fornications with
 thy lovers1 and  with the idols of thy 
abominations1 by the blood of thy       
children whom  thou gavest them3        
#af3cg4 ,behold1 ,i will gather together
 all thy lovers with whom thou hast     
taken pleasure1 and all whom thou hast  
loved1 with all whom thou hast  hated3  
and ,i will gather them together against
 thee on every side1 and  will discover 
thy shame in their sight1 and they shall
 see all thy  nakedness4    #af3ch4 ,and
 ,i will judge thee as adulteresses1 and
 they that shed blood  are judged3 and  
,i will give thee blood in fury and     
jealousy4    #af3ci4 ,and ,i will       
deliver thee into their hands1 and they 
shall destroy  thy brothel house1 and   
throw down thy stews3 and they shall    
strip thee  of thy garments1 and shall  
take away the vessels of thy beauty3 and
  leave thee naked1 and full of         
disgrace4    #af3dj4 ,and they shall    
bring upon thee a multitude1 and they   

shall stone  thee with stones1 and shall
 slay thee with their swords4    #af3da4
 ,and they shall burn thy houses with   
fire1 and shall execute  judgments upon 
thee in the sight of many women3 and    
thou shalt cease  from fornication1 and 
shalt give no hire any more4    #af3db4 
,and my indignation shall rest in thee3 
and my jealousy shall  depart from thee1
 and ,i will cease and be angry no more4
    #af3dc4 ,because thou hast not      
remembered the days of thy youth1 but   
hast  provoked me in all these things3  
wherefore ,i also have turned all thy   
ways upon thy head1 saith the ,lord     
,god1 and ,i have not done according to 
thy wicked deeds in all thy             
abominations4    #af3dd4 ,behold every  
one that useth a common proverb1 shall  
use this  against thee1 saying3 ,as the 
mother was1 so also is her daughter4    
#af3de4 ,thou art thy mother's daughter1
 that cast off her husband1 and  her    
children3 and thou art the sister of thy
 sisters1 who cast off their  husbands1 

and their children3 your mother was a   
,cethite1 and your father  an           
,amorrhite4    #af3df4 ,and thy elder   
sister is ,samaria1 she and her         
daughters that dwell  at thy left hand3 
and thy younger sister that dwelleth at 
thy right hand  is ,sodom1 and her      
daughters4    #af3dg4 ,but neither hast 
thou walked in their ways1 nor hast thou
 done a  little less than they according
 to their wickednesses3 thou hast done  
almost more wicked things than they in  
all thy ways4    #af3dh4 ,as ,i live1   
saith the ,lord ,god1 thy sister ,sodom 
herself1 and her  daughters1 have not   
done as thou hast done1 and thy         
daughters4    #af3di4 ,behold this was  
the iniquity of ,sodom thy sister1      
pride1 fulness  of bread1 and abundance1
 and the idleness of her1 and of her    
daughters3  and they did not put forth  
their hand to the needy1 and the poor4  
,this was the iniquity of ,sodom1 etc444
 ,that is1 these were the steps by      
which the ,sodomites came to fall into  

those abominations for which they  were 
destroyed4 ,for pride1 gluttony1 and    
idleness are the highroad to  all kinds 
of lust2 especially when they are       
accompanied with a neglect  of the works
 of mercy4    #af3ej4 ,and they were    
lifted up1 and committed abominations   
before me3  and ,i took them away as    
thou hast seen4    #af3ea4 ,and ,samaria
 committed not half thy sins3 but thou  
hast surpassed  them with thy crimes1   
and hast justified thy sisters by all   
thy  abominations which thou hast done4 
#af3eb4 ,therefore do thou also bear thy
 confusion1 thou that hast  surpassed   
thy sisters with thy sins1 doing more   
wickedly than they3 for  they are       
justified above thee1 therefore be thou 
also confounded1 and  bear thy shame1   
thou that hast justified thy sisters4   
#af3ec4 ,and ,i will bring back and     
restore them by bringing back ,sodom1   
with her daughters1 and by bringing back
 ,samaria1 and her daughters3 and  ,i   
will bring those that return of thee in 

the midst of them4    ,i will bring     
back1 etc444 ,this relates to the       
conversion of the ,gentiles  out of all 
nations1 and of many of the ,jews1 to   
the church of ,christ4    #af3ed4 ,that 
thou mayest bear thy shame1 and mayest  
be confounded in all  that thou hast    
done1 comforting them4    #af3ee4 ,and  
thy sister ,sodom and her daughters     
shall return to their  ancient state3   
and ,samaria and her daughters shall    
return to their  ancient state3 and thou
 and thy daughters shall return to your 
ancient  state4    ,ancient state444    
,that is1 to their former state of      
liberty1 and their  ancient possessions4
 ,in the spiritual sense1 to the true   
liberty1 and  the happy inheritance of  
the children of ,god1 through faith in  
,christ4    #af3ef4 ,and ,sodom thy     
sister was not heard of in thy mouth1 in
 the day of  thy pride1    #af3eg4      
,before thy malice was laid open3 as it 
is at this time1 making  thee a reproach
 of the daughters of ,syria1 and of all 

the daughters of  ,palestine round about
 thee1 that encompass thee on all sides4
    #af3eh4 ,thou hast borne thy        
wickedness1 and thy disgrace1 saith the 
,lord  ,god4    #af3ei4 ,for thus saith 
the ,lord ,god3 ,i will deal with thee1 
as thou hast  despised the oath1 in     
breaking the covenant3    #af3fj4 ,and  
,i will remember my covenant with thee  
in the days of thy  youth3 and ,i will  
establish with thee an everlasting      
covenant4    #af3fa4 ,and thou shalt    
remember thy ways1 and be ashamed3 when 
thou shalt  receive thy sisters1 thy    
elder and thy younger3 and ,i will give 
them to  thee for daughters1 but not by 
thy covenant4    #af3fb4 ,and ,i will   
establish my covenant with thee3 and    
thou shalt know  that ,i am the ,lord1  
#af3fc4 ,that thou mayest remember1 and 
be confounded1 and mayest no more  open 
thy mouth because of thy confusion1 when
 ,i shall be pacified toward  thee for  
all that thou hast done1 saith the ,lord
 ,god4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #ag    ,the

 parable of the two eagles and the vine4
 ,a promise of the cedar of  ,christ and
 his church4    #ag3a4 ,and the word of 
the ,lord came to me1 saying3    #ag3b4 
,son of man1 put forth a riddle1 and    
speak a parable to the house  of        
,israel1    #ag3c4 ,and say3 ,thus saith
 the ,lord ,god2 ,a large eagle with    
great wings1  long-limbed1 full of      
feathers1 and of variety1 came to       
,libanus1 and took  away the marrow of  
the cedar4    ,a large eagle444         
,nabuchodonosor1 king of                
,babylon4-,ibid4 ,came to  ,libanus444  
,that is1 to ,jerusalem4-,ibid4 ,took   
away the marrow of the  cedar444 ,king  
,jechonias4    #ag3d4 ,he cropped off   
the top of the twigs thereof3 and       
carried it away  into the land of       
,chanaan1 and he set it in a city of    
merchants4    ,chanaan444 ,this name1   
which signifies traffic1 is not taken   
here for  ,palestine1 but for ,chaldea3 
and the city of merchants here mentioned
 is  ,babylon4    #ag3e4 ,and he took of

 the seed of the land1 and put it in the
 ground for  seed1 that it might take a 
firm root over many waters3 he planted  
it on  the surface of the earth4    ,of 
the seed of the land1 etc444 ,viz41     
,sedecias1 whom he made king4    #ag3f4 
,and it sprung up and grew into a       
spreading vine of low stature1  and the 
branches thereof looked towards him3 and
 the roots thereof were  under him4 ,so 
it became a vine1 and grew into         
branches1 and shot forth  sprigs4       
,towards him444 ,nabuchodonosor1 to whom
 ,sedecias swore allegiance4    #ag3g4  
,and there was another large eagle1 with
 great wings1 and many  feathers3 and   
behold this vine1 bending as it were her
 roots towards  him1 stretched forth her
 branches to him1 that he might water it
 by the  furrows of her plantation4     
,another large eagle444 ,viz41 the king 
of ,egypt4    #ag3h4 ,it was planted in 
a good ground upon many waters1 that it 
might  bring forth branches1 and bear   
fruit1 that it might become a large     

vine4    #ag3i4 ,say thou3 ,thus saith  
the ,lord ,god3 ,shall it prosper then8 
shall  he not pull up the roots thereof1
 and strip off its fruit1 and dry up    
all the branches it hath shot forth1 and
 make it wither3 and this  without a    
strong arm1 or many people to pluck it  
up by the root8    #ag3aj4 ,behold1 it  
is planted3 shall it prosper then8 shall
 it not be  dried up when the burning   
wind shall touch it1 and shall it not   
wither  in the furrows where it grew8   
#ag3aa4 ,and the word of the ,lord came 
to me1 saying3    #ag3ab4 ,say to the   
provoking house3 ,know you not what     
these things mean8  ,tell them3 ,behold 
the king of ,babylon cometh to          
,jerusalem3 and he shall  take away the 
king and the princes thereof and carry  
them with him to  ,babylon4    ,shall   
take away444 ,or1 hath taken away1 etc41
 for all this was now done4    #ag3ac4  
,and he shall take one of the king's    
seed1 and make a covenant  with him1 and
 take an oath of him4 ,yea1 and he shall

 take away the  mighty men of the land1 
#ag3ad4 ,that it may be a low kingdom   
and not lift itself up1 but keep his    
covenant and observe it4    #ag3ae4 ,but
 he hath revolted from him and sent     
ambassadors to ,egypt1 that  it might   
give him horses1 and much people4 ,and  
shall he that hath done  thus prosper1  
or be saved8 and shall he escape that   
hath broken the  covenant8    #ag3af4   
,as ,i live1 saith the ,lord ,god3 ,in  
the place where the king  dwelleth that 
made him king1 whose oath he hath made  
void1 and whose  covenant he broke1 even
 in the midst of ,babylon shall he die4 
#ag3ag4 ,and not with a great army1 nor 
with much people shall ,pharao  fight   
against him3 when he shall cast up      
mounts1 and build forts1 to cut  off    
many souls4    #ag3ah4 ,for he had      
despised the oath1 breaking his         
covenant1 and behold  he hath given his 
hand3 and having done all these things1 
he shall not  escape4    #ag3ai4        
,therefore thus saith the ,lord ,god3   

,as ,i live1 ,i will lay upon his  head 
the oath he hath despised1 and the      
covenant he hath broken4    #ag3bj4 ,and
 ,i will spread my net over him1 and he 
shall be taken in my  net3 and ,i will  
bring him into ,babylon1 and will judge 
him there for the  transgression by     
which he hath despised me4    #ag3ba4   
,and all his fugitives with all his     
bands shall fall by the sword3  and the 
residue shall be scattered into every   
wind3 and you shall know  that ,i the   
,lord have spoken4    #ag3bb4 ,thus     
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,i myself will    
take of the marrow of the  high cedar1  
and will set it3 ,i will crop off a     
tender twig from the top  of the        
branches thereof1 and ,i will plant it  
on a mountain high and  eminent4    ,of 
the marrow of the high cedar1 etc444 ,of
 the royal stock of ,david4  ,ibid4 ,a  
tender twig444 ,viz41 ,jesus ,christ1

church1 to which all  nations flow4

,israel will ,i plant it1 and it shall  
shoot forth into branches and shall bear
 fruit1 and it shall become a  great    
cedar3 and all birds shall dwell under  
it1 and every fowl shall  make its nest 
under the shadow of the branches        
thereof4    #ag3bd4 ,and all the trees  
of the country shall know that ,i the   
,lord have  brought down the high tree1

 up  the green tree1 and have caused the
 dry tree to flourish4 ,i the ,lord

 one his own2 if a  wicked man truly    
repent1 he shall be saved2 and if a just
 man leave his  justice1 he shall       
perish4    #ah3a4 ,and the word of the  
,lord came to me1 saying3 ,what is the  
meaning8    #ah3b4 ,that you use among  
you this parable as a proverb in the    
land of  ,israel1 saying3 ,the fathers  
have eaten sour grapes1 and the teeth of

 the  children are set on edge4         
#ah3c4 ,as ,i live1 saith the ,lord     
,god1 this parable shall be no more to  
you a proverb in ,israel4    #ah3d4     
,behold all souls are mine3 as the soul 
of the father1 so also the  soul of the 
son is mine3 the soul that sinneth1 the 
same shall die4    #ah3e4 ,and if a man 
be just1 and do judgment and justice1

,not eaten upon the mountains444 ,that  
is1 of the sacrifices there offered  to 
idols4    #ah3g4 ,and hath not wronged  
any man3 but hath restored the pledge to
 the  debtor1 hath taken nothing away by
 violence3 hath given his bread to the  
hungry1 and hath covered the naked with 
a garment3    #ah3h4 ,hath not lent upon
 usury1 nor taken any increase3 hath

truth444 ,that is1 to act according to  
truth2 for the ,hebrews  called

 lifted up my hand for the race of the

in the land of ,egypt1 and lifted up my

otherwise for my name's sake1 that it

 them out from the land of ,egypt1 and  
brought  them into the desert4

them for the sake of my name1 lest it

not done my judgments1 and had cast off 
my  statutes1 and had violated my

covenant4    #bj3ch4 ,and ,i will pick  
out from among you the transgressors1

this also you  hear me not1 but defile  
my holy name any more with your gifts1  
and with  your idols2    ,walk ye every 
one1 etc444 ,it is not an allowance1    
much less a  commandment to serve idols2
 but a figure of speech1 by which ,god  
would  have them to understand that if  
they would walk after their idols1 they 
must not pretend to serve him at the    
same time3 for that he would by no      
means suffer such a mixture of worship4

high mountain of ,israel1 saith the

tithes with all your  sanctifications4

foregoing verse1 to make the sense      
complete1 must be understood so as to   
condemn and reject that mixture of      
worship which the ,jews then followed4

true ,israelites1 especially to those of
 the ,christian church1 that they  shall
 serve him in another manner1 in his    
holy mountain1 the spiritual  ,sion3 and
 shall by accepted of by him4    #bj3da4

highway1 at the head of two  ways1      

seeking divination1 shuffling arrows3 he
 inquired of the idols1  and consulted  
entrails4    #ba3bb4 ,on his right hand 
was the divination for ,jerusalem1 to   
set  battering rams1 to open the mouth  
in slaughter1 to lift up the voice in   
howling1 to set engines against the     
gates1 to cast up a mount1 to build     
forts4    #ba3bc4 ,and he shall be in   
their eyes as one consulting the oracle 
in  vain1 and imitating the leisure of  
sabbaths3 but he will call to           
remembrance the iniquity that they may  
be taken4    #ba3bd4 ,therefore thus    
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,because you have 
remembered  your iniquity1 and have     
discovered your prevarications1 and your
 sins  have appeared in all your        
devices3 because1 ,i say1 ,you have     
remembered1  you shall be taken with the
 hand4    #ba3be4 ,but thou profane     
wicked prince of ,israel1 whose day is  
come that  hath been appointed in the   
time of iniquity3    ,thou profane1     
etc444 ,he speaks to king ,sedecias1 who

 had broken his  oath1 and was otherwise
 a wicked prince4    #ba3bf4 ,thus saith
 the ,lord ,god3 ,remove the diadem1    
take off the crown3  is it not this that
 hath exalted the low one1 and brought  
down him that  was high8    ,is it not  
this that hath exalted the low one444   
,the royal crown of ,juda  had exalted  
,sedecias from a private state and      
condition to the sovereign  power1 as   
the loss of it had brought down         
,jechonias1 etc4    #ba3bg4 ,i will shew
 it to be iniquity1 iniquity1 iniquity3 
but this was  not done till he came to  
whom judgment belongeth1 and ,i will    
give it  him4    ,i will shew it to be  
iniquity1 etc444 ,or1 ,i will overturn  
it1 viz41 the  crown of ,juda for the   
manifold iniquities of the kings3 but it
 shall not  be utterly removed1 till    
,christ come whose right it is3 and who 
shall  reign in the spiritual house of  
,jacob1 that is1 in his church1 for     
evermore4    #ba3bh4 ,and thou son of   
man1 prophesy1 and say3 ,thus saith the

,ammon1 and concerning their reproach1  
and  thou shalt say3 ,o sword1 ,o sword1
 come out of the scabbard to kill1 be   
furbished to destroy1 and to glitter1   
,concerning their reproach444 ,by which 
they had reproached and insulted  over  
the ,jews1 at the time of the           
destruction of ,jerusalem4    #ba3bi4   
,whilst they see vain things in thy     
regard1 and they divine lies3  to bring 
thee upon the necks of the wicked that  
are wounded1 whose  appointed day is    
come in the time of iniquity4    #ba3cj4
 ,return into thy sheath4 ,i will judge 
thee in the place wherein  thou wast    
created1 in the land of thy nativity4   
,return into thy sheath1 etc444 ,the    
sword of ,babylon1 after raging  against
 many nations1 was shortly to be judged 
and destroyed at home by  the ,medes and
 ,persians4    #ba3ca4 ,and ,i will pour
 out upon thee my indignation3 in the   
fire of my  rage will ,i blow upon thee1
 and will give thee into the hands of   

men  that are brutish and contrive thy  
destruction4    #ba3cb4 ,thou shalt be  
fuel for the fire1 thy blood shall be in
 the midst  of the land1 thou shalt be  
forgotten3 for ,i the ,lord have spoken 
it4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #bb    ,the   
general corruption of the inhabitants of
 ,jerusalem3 for which ,god  will       
consume them as dross in his furnace4

to me1 saying3    #bb3b4 ,and thou son

her1 that her time may come3 and that   
hath made idols against herself1  to    
defile herself4    #bb3d4 ,thou art     
become guilty in thy blood which thou   
hast shed3 and thou  art defiled in thy 
idols which thou hast made3 and thou    
hast made thy  days to draw near1 and   
hast brought on the time of thy years3  

therefore  have ,i made thee a reproach 
to the ,gentiles1 and a mockery to all  
countries4    #bb3e4 ,those that are    
near1 and those that are far from thee1 
shall  triumph over thee3 thou filthy   
one1 infamous1 great in destruction4    
#bb3f4 ,behold the princes of ,israel1  
every one hath employed his arm in  thee
 to shed blood4    #bb3g4 ,they have    
abused father and mother in thee1 they  
have oppressed  the stranger in the     
midst of thee1 they have grieved the    
fatherless and  widow in thee4    #bb3h4

 profaned my sabbaths4    #bb3i4

blood1 and they have eaten  upon the    
mountains in thee1 they have committed  
wickedness in the midst  of thee4       
#bb3aj4 ,they have discovered the       
nakedness of their father in thee1 they 
have humbled the uncleanness of the     
menstruous woman in thee4    #bb3aa4

abomination with his neighbour's  wife1

defiled his daughter in law1  the       
brother hath oppressed his sister the   
daughter of his father in  thee4        
#bb3ab4 ,they have taken gifts in thee  
to shed blood3 thou hast taken  usury   
and increase1 and hast covetously       
oppressed thy neighbours3 and  thou hast
 forgotten me1 saith the ,lord ,god4    
#bb3ac4 ,behold1 ,i have clapped my     
hands at thy covetousness1 which thou   
hast exercised3 and at the blood that   
hath been shed in the midst of  thee4

house of ,israel is become dross to me3 
all these  are brass1 and tin1 and iron1

they are become the dross of silver4    
#bb3ai4 ,therefore thus saith the ,lord 
,god3 ,because you are all turned  into 
dross1 therefore behold ,i will gather  
you together in the midst of            
,jerusalem4    #bb3bj4 ,as they gather  
silver1 and brass1 and tin1 and iron1   
and lead in  the midst of the furnace3  
that ,i may kindle a fire in it to melt 
it3 so  will ,i gather you together in  
my fury and in my wrath1 and will take  
my  rest1 and ,i will melt you down4    
#bb3ba4 ,and will gather you together1  
and will burn you in the fire of my     
wrath1 and you shall be melted in the   
midst thereof4    #bb3bb4 ,as silver is 
melted in the midst of the furnace1 so  
shall you be  in the midst thereof3 and 
you shall know that ,i am the ,lord1

upon you4    #bb3bc4 ,and the word of   

the ,lord came to me1 saying3    #bb3bd4
 ,son of man1 say to her3 ,thou art a   
land that is unclean1 and not  rained   
upon in the day of wrath4    #bb3be4    
,there is a conspiracy of prophets in   
the midst thereof3 like a  lion that    
roareth and catcheth the prey1 they have
 devoured souls1 they  have taken riches
 and hire1 they have made many widows in
 the midst  thereof4    #bb3bf4 ,her    
priests have despised my law1 and have  
defiled my  sanctuaries3 they have put  
no difference between holy and profane3 
nor  have distinguished between the     
polluted and the clean3 and they have   
turned away their eyes from my sabbaths1
 and ,i was profaned in the midst  of   
them4    #bb3bg4 ,her princes in the    
midst of her1 are like wolves ravening  
the  prey to shed blood1 and to destroy 
souls1 and to run after gains through   
covetousness4    #bb3bh4 ,and her       
prophets have daubed them without       
tempering the mortar1  seeing vain      
things1 and divining lies unto them1    

saying3 ,thus saith the  ,lord ,god3    
when the ,lord hath not spoken4         
#bb3bi4 ,the people of the land have    
used oppression1 and committed  robbery3
 they afflicted the needy and poor1 and 
they oppressed the  stranger by calumny 
without judgment4    #bb3cj4 ,and ,i    
sought among them for a man that might  
set up a hedge1 and  stand in the gap   
before me in favour of the land1 that ,i
 might not  destroy it3 and ,i found    
none4    #bb3ca4 ,and ,i poured out my  
indignation upon them1 in the fire of my
  wrath ,i consumed them3 ,i have       
rendered their way upon their own head1 
saith the ,lord ,god4    ,ezechiel      
,chapter #bc    ,under the names of the 
two harlots1 ,oolla and ,ooliba1 are    
described the  manifold disloyalties of 
,samaria and ,jerusalem1 with the       
punishment of  them both4    #bc3a4 ,and
 the word of the ,lord came to me1      
saying3    #bc3b4 ,son of man1 there    
were two women1 daughters of one mother4
    #bc3c4 ,and they committed          

fornication in ,egypt1 in their youth   
they  committed fornication3 there were 
their breasts pressed down1 and the     
teats of their virginity were bruised4  
,committed fornication444 ,that is1     
idolatry4    #bc3d4 ,and their names    
were ,oolla the elder1 and ,ooliba her  
younger  sister3 and ,i took them1 and  
they bore sons and daughters4 ,now for  
their  names1 ,samaria is ,oolla1 and   
,jerusalem is ,ooliba4    ,oolla and    
,ooliba444 ,god calls the kingdom of    
,israel ,oolla1 which  signifies their  
own habitation1 because they separated  
themselves from  his temple3 and the    
kingdom of ,juda1 ,ooliba1 which        
signifies his  habitation in her1       
because of his temple among them in     
,jerusalem4    #bc3e4 ,and ,oolla       
committed fornication against me1 and   
doted on her  lovers1 on the ,assyrians 
that came to her1    ,on the            
,assyraians1 etc444 ,that is1 the idols 
of the ,assyrians3 for all  that is said
 in this chapter of the fornications of 

,israel and ,juda1 is  to be understood 
in a spiritual sense1 of their          
disloyalty to the ,lord1  by worshipping
 strange gods4    #bc3f4 ,who were      
clothed with blue1 princes1 and rulers1 
beautiful youths1  all horsemen1 mounted
 upon horses4    #bc3g4 ,and she        
committed her fornications with those   
chosen men1 all sons  of the ,assyrians3
 and she defiled herself with the       
uncleanness of all  them on whom she    
doted4    #bc3h4 ,moreover also she did 
not forsake her fornications which she  
had  committed in ,egypt3 for they also 
lay with her in her youth1 and they     
bruised the breasts of her virginity1   
and poured out their fornication  upon  
her4    #bc3i4 ,therefore have ,i       
delivered her into the hands of her     
lovers1 into  the hands of the sons of  
the ,assyrians1 upon whose lust she     
doted4    #bc3aj4 ,they discovered her  
disgrace1 took away her sons and        
daughters1  and slew her with the sword3
 and they became infamous women1 and    

they  executed judgments in her4        
#bc3aa4 ,and when her sister ,ooliba saw
 this1 she was mad with lust more  than 
she3 and she carried her fornication    
beyond the fornication of her  sister4  
#bc3ab4 ,impudently prostituting herself
 to the children of the ,assyrians1  the
 princes1 and rulers that came to her1  
clothed with divers colours1  to the    
horsemen that rode upon horses1 and to  
young men all of great  beauty4         
#bc3ac4 ,and ,i saw that she was        
defiled1 and that they both took one    
way4    #bc3ad4 ,and she increased her  
fornications3 and when she had seen men 
painted on the wall1 the images of the  
,chaldeans set forth in colours1        
#bc3ae4 ,and girded with girdles about  
their reins1 and with dyed turbans  on  
their heads1 the resemblance of all the 
captains1 the likeness of the  sons of  
,babylon1 and of the land of the        
,chaldeans wherein they were  born1     
#bc3af4 ,she doted upon them with the   
lust of her eyes1 and she sent          

messengers to them into ,chaldea4       
#bc3ag4 ,and when the sons of ,babylon  
were come to her to the bed of love1    
they defiled her with their             
fornications1 and she was polluted by   
them1  and her soul was glutted with    
them4    #bc3ah4 ,and she discovered her
 fornications1 and discovered her       
disgrace3  and my soul was alienated    
from her1 as my soul was alienated from 
her  sister4    #bc3ai4 ,for she        
multiplied her fornications1 remembering
 the days of her  youth1 in which she   
played the harlot in the land of ,egypt4
    #bc3bj4 ,and she was mad with lust  
after lying with them whose flesh is as 
the flesh of asses3 and whose issue as  
the issue of horses4    #bc3ba4 ,and    
thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy 
youth1 when thy  breasts were pressed in
 ,egypt1 and the paps of thy virginity  
broken4    #bc3bb4 ,therefore1 ,ooliba1 
thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,behold ,i   
will raise  up against thee all thy     
lovers with whom thy soul hath been     

glutted3 and  ,i will gather them       
together against thee round about4      
#bc3bc4 ,the children of ,babylon1 and  
all the ,chaldeans1 the nobles1 and  the
 kings1 and princes1 all the sons of the
 ,assyrians1 beautiful young  men1 all  
the captains1 and rulers1 the princes of
 princes1 and the  renowned horsemen4   
#bc3bd4 ,and they shall come upon thee  
well appointed with chariot and  wheel1 
a multitude of people3 they shall be    
armed against thee on every  side with  
breastplate1 and buckler1 and helmet3   
and ,i will set judgment  before them1  
and they shall judge thee by their      
judgments4    #bc3be4 ,and ,i will set  
my jealousy against thee1 which they    
shall execute  upon thee with fury3 they
 shall cut off thy nose and thy ears3   
and what  remains shall fall by the     
sword3 they shall take thy sons1 and thy
  daughters1 and thy residue shall be   
devoured by fire4    #bc3bf4 ,and they  
shall strip thee of thy garments1 and   
take away the  instruments of thy glory4

    #bc3bg4 ,and ,i will put an end to  
thy wickedness in thee1 and thy         
fornication brought out of the land of  
,egypt3 neither shalt thou lift up  thy 
eyes to them1 nor remember ,egypt any   
more4    #bc3bh4 ,for thus saith the    
,lord ,god3 ,behold1 ,i will deliver    
thee into the  hands of them whom thou  
hatest1 into their hands with whom thy  
soul hath  been glutted4    #bc3bi4 ,and
 they shall deal with thee in hatred1   
and they shall take away  all thy       
labours1 and shall let thee go naked1   
and full of disgrace1 and  the disgrace 
of thy fornication shall be discovered1 
thy wickedness1 and  thy fornications4  
#bc3cj4 ,they have done these things to 
thee1 because thou hast played the      
harlot with the nations among which thou
 wast defiled with their idols4         
#bc3ca4 ,thou hast walked in the way of 
thy sister and ,i will give her cup     
into thy hand4    #bc3cb4 ,thus saith   
the ,lord ,god3 ,thou shalt drink thy   
sister's cup1 deep  and wide3 thou shalt

 be had in derision and scorn1 which    
containeth very  much4    #bc3cc4 ,thou 
shalt be filled with drunkenness1 and   
sorrow3 with the cup  of grief and      
sadness1 with the cup of thy sister     
,samaria4    #bc3cd4 ,and thou shalt    
drink it1 and shalt drink it up even to 
the dregs1  and thou shalt devour the   
fragments thereof1 thou shalt rend thy  
breasts3 because ,i have spoken it1     
saith the ,lord ,god4    #bc3ce4        
,therefore thus saith the ,lord ,god3   
,because thou hast forgotten  me1 and   
hast cast me off behind thy back1 bear  
thou also thy wickedness1  and thy      
fornications4    #bc3cf4 ,and the ,lord 
spoke to me1 saying3 ,son of man1 dost  
thou judge  ,oolla1 and ,ooliba1 and    
dost thou declare to them their wicked  
deeds8    #bc3cg4 ,because they have    
committed adultery1 and blood is in     
their  hands1 and they have committed   
fornication with their idols3 moreover  
also their children1 whom they bore to  
me1 they have offered to them to  be    

devoured4    #bc3ch4 ,yea1 and they have
 done this to me4 ,they polluted my     
sanctuary on  the same day1 and profaned
 my sabbaths4    #bc3ci4 ,and when they 
sacrificed their children to their      
idols1 and went  into my sanctuary the  
same day to profane it3 they did these  
things even  in the midst of my house4  
#bc3dj4 ,they sent for men coming from  
afar1 to whom they had sent a           
messenger3 and behold they came3 for    
whom thou didst wash thyself1 and  didst
 paint thy eyes1 and wast adorned with  
women's ornaments4    #bc3da4 ,thou     
sattest on a very fine bed1 and a table 
was decked before  thee3 whereupon thou 
didst set my incense1 and my ointment4  
#bc3db4 ,and there was in her the voice 
of a multitude rejoicing3 and to  some  
that were brought of the multitude of   
men1 and that came from the  desert1    
they put bracelets on their hands1 and  
beautiful crowns on their  heads4       
#bc3dc4 ,and ,i said to her that was    
worn out in her adulteries3 ,now will   

this woman still continue in her        
fornication4    #bc3dd4 ,and they went  
in to her1 as to a harlot3 so went they 
in unto  ,oolla1 and ,ooliba1 wicked    
women4    #bc3de4 ,they therefore are   
just men3 these shall judge them as     
adulteresses are judged1 and as shedders
 of blood are judged3 because  they are 
adulteresses1 and blood is in their     
hands4    #bc3df4 ,for thus saith the   
,lord ,god3 ,bring a multitude upon     
them1 and  deliver them over to tumult  
and rapine3    #bc3dg4 ,and let the     
people stone them with stone1 and let   
them be stabbed  with their swords3 they
 shall kill their sons and daughters1   
and their  houses they shall burn with  
fire4    #bc3dh4 ,and ,i will take away 
wickedness out of the land3 and all     
women  shall learn1 not to do according 
to the wickedness of them4    #bc3di4

upon you1 and you shall  bear the sins

,chapter #bd    ,under the parable of a 
boiling pot is shewn the utter          
destruction of  ,jerusalem3 for which   
the ,jews at ,babylon shall not dare to 
mourn4    #bd3a4 ,and the word of the

put water in it4    #bd3d4 ,heap        
together into it the pieces thereof1

the flock1 and lay together piles of    
bones  under it3 the seething thereof is
 boiling hot1 and the bones thereof are 
thoroughly sodden in the midst of it4

,god3 ,woe to the bloody city1 to the   
pot whose rust is in it1 and its rust is
 not gone out of it3 cast it out  piece 
by piece1 there hath no lot fallen upon 
it4    #bd3g4 ,for her blood is in the  
midst of her1 she hath shed it upon the 
smooth rock3 she hath not shed it upon  
the ground1 that it might be  covered   
with dust4    #bd3h4 ,and that ,i might 
bring my indignation upon her1 and take 
my  vengeance3 ,i have shed her blood   
upon the smooth rock1 that it should    
not be covered4    #bd3i4 ,therefore

,ammon1 and thou  shalt prophesy of     
them4    #be3c4 ,and thou shalt say to  
the children of ,ammon3 ,hear ye the    
word of  the ,lord ,god3 ,thus saith the

,israel1  because it was laid waste3 and
 upon the house of ,juda1 because they  
are  led into captivity3    #be3d4

men of the east for an  inheritance1 and
 they shall place their sheepcotes in   
thee1 and shall  set up their tents in  
thee3 they shall eat thy fruits3 and    
they shall  drink thy milk4    #be3e4

south3 and they that are in ,dedan shall
 fall by the  sword4    #be3ad4 ,and ,i

vengeance1 saith the ,lord ,god4

,because the ,philistines have taken    
vengeance1 and have revenged themselves 
with all their mind1 destroying  and    
satisfying old enmities3    #be3af4

the sound of thy fall1 and the groans of

 thy slain when they shall be  killed in

kingdom wasted3 it shall  be given to   
,nabuchodonosor for his service against 
,tyre4    #bi3a4 ,in the tenth year1 the
 tenth month1 the eleventh day of the   
month1  the word of the ,lord came to   
me1 saying3    #bi3b4 ,son of man1 set  
thy face against ,pharao king of ,egypt3
 and thou  shalt prophesy of him1 and of
 all ,egypt3    #bi3c4 ,speak1 and say3 
,thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,behold1 ,i 
come against  thee1 ,pharao king of     
,egypt1 thou great dragon that liest in 
the midst of  thy rivers1 and sayest3   
,the river is mine1 and ,i made myself4 
#bi3d4 ,but ,i will put a bridle in thy 
jaws3 and ,i will cause the fish of  thy
 rivers to stick to thy scales3 and ,i  

will draw thee out of the midst  of thy 
rivers1 and all thy fish shall stick to 
thy scales4    #bi3e4 ,and ,i will cast 
thee forth into the desert1 and all the 
fish of  thy river3 thou shalt fall upon
 the face of the earth1 thou shalt not  
be  taken up1 nor gathered together3 ,i 
have given thee for meat to the  beasts 
of the earth1 and to the fowls of the   
air4    #bi3f4 ,and all the inhabitants 
of ,egypt shall know that ,i am the     
,lord3  because thou hast been a staff  
of a reed to the house of ,israel4      
#bi3g4 ,when they took hold of thee with
 the hand thou didst break1 and  rent   
all their shoulder3 and when they leaned
 upon thee1 thou brokest1  and weakenest
 all their loins4    #bi3h4 ,therefore  
thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,behold1 ,i  
will bring the sword  upon thee3 and cut
 off man and beast out of thee4

mine1 and ,i made it4    #bi3aj4

seven and twentieth year in the first   
month1 in the first of the month3 that  
the word of the ,lord came to me1       
saying3    #bi3ah4 ,son of man1

her multitude1 and take the booty       
thereof for a prey1 and rifle the       
spoils thereof3 and it shall be wages   
for his army4    #bi3bj4 ,and for the   
service that he hath done me against it3

among them  in the day of ,egypt3       
because it shall certainly come4        
#cj3aj4 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,i  
will make the multitude of ,egypt to    
cease by the hand of ,nabuchodonosor the
 king of ,babylon4    #cj3aa4 ,he and   
his people with him1 the strongest of   
nations1 shall be  brought to destroy   
the land3 and they shall draw their

#cj3bj4 ,and it came to pass in the     
eleventh year1 in the first month1 in   
the seventh day of the month1 that the  
word of the ,lord came1 me1  saying3    
#cj3ba4 ,son of man1 ,i have broken the 
arm of ,pharao king of ,egypt3 and      
behold it is not bound up1 to be healed1
 to be tied up with clothes1 and        
swathed with linen1 that it might       
recover strength1 and hold the sword4   
#cj3bb4 ,therefore1 thus saith the ,lord
 ,god3 ,behold1 ,i come against ,pharao 
king of ,egypt1 and ,i will break into  
pieces his strong arm1 which is  already
 broken3 and ,i will cause the sword to 
fall out of his hand3    #cj3bc4 ,and ,i
 will disperse ,egypt among the nations1

countries4    #cj3bd4 ,and ,i will      
strengthen the arms of the king of      
,babylon1 and will  put my sword in his 

hand3 and ,i will break the arms of     
,pharao1 and they  shall groan bitterly 
being slain before his face4    #cj3be4

king of ,babylon1 and the  arms of      
,pharao shall fall3 and they shall know 
that ,i am the ,lord1 when  ,i shall    
have given my sword into the hand of the
 king of ,babylon1 and he  shall have   
stretched it forth upon the land of     
,egypt4    #cj3bf4 ,and ,i will disperse

,ezechiel ,chapter #ca    ,the ,assyrian
 empire fell for their pride3 the       
,egyptian shall fall in  like manner4   
#ca3a4 ,and it came to pass1 in the     
eleventh year1 the third month the      
first day of the month1 that the word of
 the ,lord came to me1 saying3    #ca3b4
 ,son of man1 speak to ,pharao king of  
,egypt1 and to his people3 ,to  whom art
 thou like in thy greatness8    #ca3c4  
,behold1 the ,assyrian like a cedar in  

,libanus1 with fair branches1  and full 
of leaves1 of a high stature1 and his   
top was elevated among  the thick       
boughs4    #ca3d4 ,the waters nourished 
him1 the deep set him tip on high1 the  
streams thereof ran round about his     
roots1 and it sent1 forth its  rivulets 
to all the trees of the country4        
#ca3e4 ,therefore was his height exalted
 above all the trees of the  country and
 his branches were multiplied1 and his  
boughs were elevated  because of many   
waters4    #ca3f4 ,and when he had      
spread forth his shadow1 all the fowls  
of the air  made their nests in his     
boughs1 and all the beasts of the forest
 brought  forth their young under his   
branches1 and the assembly of many      
nations  dwelt under his shadow4        
#ca3g4 ,and he was most beautiful for   
his greatness1 and for the spreading  of
 his branches3 for his root was near    
great waters4    #ca3h4 ,the cedars in  
the paradise of ,god were not higher    
than he1 the fir  trees did not equal   

his top1 neither were the plane trees to
 be compared  with him for branches3 no 
tree in the paradise of ,god was like   
him in  his beauty4    #ca3i4 ,for ,i   
made him beautiful and thick set with   
many branches3 and all  the trees of    
pleasure1 that were in the paradise of  
,god1 envied him4    #ca3aj4 ,therefore 
thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,because he  
was exalted in  height1 and shot up his 
top green and thick1 and his heart was  
lifted up  in his height3    #ca3aa4 ,i 
have delivered him into the hands of the
 mighty one of the  nations1 he shall   
deal with him3 ,i have cast him out     
according to his  wickedness4    ,i have
 delivered444 ,here the time past is put
 for the future1 i4 e41  ,i shall       
deliver4--,ibid4 ,the mighty one1 etc444
 ,viz41 ,nabuchodonosor1 who  conquered 
both the ,assyrians and ,egyptians4     
#ca3ab4 ,and strangers1 and the most    
cruel of the nations shall cut him      
down1 and cast him away upon the        
mountains1 and his boughs shall fall in 

every valley1 and his branches shall be 
broken on every rock of the  country3   
and all the people of the earth shall   
depart from his shadow1  and leave him4 
#ca3ac4 ,all the fowls of the air dwelt 
upon his ruins1 and all the beasts  of  
the field were among his branches4      
#ca3ad4 ,for which cause none of the    
trees by the waters shall exalt         
themselves for their height3 nor shoot  
up their tops among the thick  branches 
and leaves1 neither shall any of them   
that are watered stand up  in their     
height3 for they are all delivered unto 
death to the lowest  parts of the earth1
 in the midst of the children of men1   
with them that  go down into the pit4   
#ca3ae4 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,in 
the day when he went down to hell1 ,i   
brought in mourning1 ,i covered him with
 the deep3 and ,i withheld its  rivers1 
and restrained the many waters3 ,libanus
 grieved for him1 and all  the trees of 
the field trembled4    #ca3af4 ,i shook 
the nations with the sound of his fall1 

when ,i brought  him down to hell with  
them that descend into the pit3 and all 
the trees  of pleasure1 the choice and  
best in ,libanus1 all that were         
moistened  with waters1 were comforted  
in the lowest parts of the earth4       
#ca3ag4 ,for they also shall go down    
with him to hell to them that are  slain
 by the sword2 and the arm of every one 
shall sit down under his  shadow in the 
midst of the nations4    #ca3ah4 ,to    
whom art thou like1 ,o thou that art    
famous and lofty among the  trees of    
pleasure8 ,behold1 thou art brought down
 with the trees of  pleasure to the     
lowest parts of the earth3 thou shalt   
sleep in the midst  of the              
uncircumcised1 with them that are slain 
by the sword3 this is  ,pharao1 and all 
his multitude1 saith the ,lord ,god4    
,ezechiel ,chapter #cb    ,the prophet's
 lamentation for the king of ,egypt4    
#cb3a4 ,and it came to pass in the      
twelfth year1 in the twelfth month1 in  
the first day of the month1 that the    

word of the ,lord came to me1  saying3  
#cb3b4 ,son of man1 take up a           
lamentation for ,pharao the king of     
,egypt1  and say to him3 ,thou art like 
the lion of the nations1 and the dragon 
that is in the sea3 and thou didst push 
with the horn in thy rivers1 and  didst 
trouble the waters with thy feet1 and   
didst trample upon their  streams4      
#cb3c4 ,therefore1 thus saith the ,lord 
,god3 ,i will spread out my net over    
thee with the multitude of many people1 
and ,i will draw thee up in my  net4    
#cb3d4 ,and ,i will throw thee out on   
the land1 ,i will cast thee away into   
the open field and ,i will cause all the
 fowls of the air to dwell upon  thee1  
and ,i will fill the beasts of all the  
earth with thee4    #cb3e4 ,and ,i will 
lay thy flesh upon the mountains1 and   
will fill thy  hills with thy           
corruption1    #cb3f4 ,and ,i will water
 the earth with thy stinking blood upon 
the  mountains1 and the valleys shall be
 filled with thee4    #cb3g4 ,and ,i    

will cover the heavens1 when thou shalt 
be put out1 and ,i  will make the stars 
thereof dark3 ,i will cover the sun with
 a cloud1 and  the moon shall not give  
her light4    #cb3h4 ,i will make all   
the lights of heaven to mourn over thee 
and ,i will  cause darkness upon thy    
land1 saith the ,lord ,god1 when thy    
wounded shall  fall in the midst of the 
land1 saith the ,lord ,god4    #cb3i4   
,and ,i shall provoke to anger the heart
 of many people1 when ,i  shall have    
brought in thy destruction among the    
nations upon the lands1  which thou     
knowest not4    #cb3aj4 ,and ,i will    
make many people to be amazed at thee1  
and their kings  shall be horribly      
afraid for thee1 when my sword shall    
begin to fly upon  their faces3 and they
 shall be astonished on a sudden1 every 
one for his  own life1 in the day of    
their ruin4    #cb3aa4 ,for thus saith  
the ,lord ,god3 ,the sword of the king  
of ,babylon  shall come upon thee1      
#cb3ab4 ,by the swords of the mighty ,i 

will overthrow thy multitude3 all  these
 nations are invincible3 and they shall 
waste the pride of ,egypt1  and the     
multitude thereof shall be destroyed4   
#cb3ac4 ,i will destroy also all the    
beasts thereof that were beside the     
great waters3 and the foot of man shall 
trouble them no more1 neither  shall the
 hoof of beasts trouble them4    #cb3ad4
 ,then will ,i make their waters clear1 
and cause their rivers to  run like oil1
 saith the ,lord ,god3    #cb3ae4 ,when 
,i shall have made the land of ,egypt   
desolate3 and the land  shall be        
destitute of her fulness1 when ,i shall 
have struck all the  inhabitants thereof

  ,when ,i bring the sword upon a land1 
if the people of the land take a  man1  
one of their meanest1 and make him a    
watchman over them3    #cc3c4 ,and he   
sees the sword coming upon the land1 and
 sound the trumpet1  and tell the       
people3    #cc3d4 ,then he that heareth 
the sound of the trumpet1 whosoever he  
be1  and doth not look to himself1 if   

the sword come1 and cut him off3 his    
blood shall be upon his own head4       
#cc3e4 ,he heard the sound of the       
trumpet1 and did not look to himself1   
his blood shall be upon him3 but if he  
look to himself1 he shall save  his     
life4    #cc3f4 ,and if the watchman see
 the sword coming1 and sound not the    
trumpet3 and the people look not to     
themselves1 and the sword come1 and  cut
 off a soul from among them3 he indeed  
is taken away in his iniquity1  but ,i  
will require his blood at the hand of   
the watchman4    #cc3g4 ,so thou1 ,o son
 of man1 ,i have made thee a watchman to
 the house of  ,israel3 therefore thou  
shalt hear the word from my mouth1 and  
shalt tell  it them from me4    #cc3h4  
,when ,i say to the wicked3 ,o wicked   
man1 thou shalt surely die3 if  thou    
dost not speak to warn the wicked man   
from his way3 that wicked man  shall die
 in his iniquity1 but ,i will require   
his blood at thy hand4    #cc3i4 ,but if
 thou tell the wicked man1 that he may  

be converted from his  ways1 and he be  
not converted from his way he shall die 
in his iniquity3  but thou hast         
delivered thy soul4    #cc3aj4 ,thou    
therefore1 ,o son of man1 say to the    
house of ,israel3 ,thus  you have       
spoken1 saying3 ,our iniquities1 and our
 sins are upon us1 and  we pine away in 
them3 how then can we live8    #cc3aa4  
,say to them3 ,as ,i live1 saith the    
,lord ,god1 ,i desire not the  death of 
the wicked1 but that the wicked turn    
from his way1 and live4  ,turn ye1 turn 
ye from your evil ways3 and why will you
 die1 ,o house of  ,israel8    #cc3ab4  
,thou therefore1 ,o son of man1 say to  
the children of thy people3  ,the       
justice of the just shall not deliver   
him1 in what day soever he  shall sin3  
and the wickedness of the wicked shall  
not hurt him1 in what  day soever he    
shall turn from his wickedness3 and the 
just shall not be  able to live in his  
justice1 in what day soever he shall    
sin4    #cc3ac4 ,yea1 if ,i shall say to

 the just that he shall surely live1 and
  he1 trusting in his justice1 commit   
iniquity3 all his justices shall be     
forgotten1 and his iniquity1 which he   
hath committed1 in the same shall  he   
die4    #cc3ad4 ,and it ,i shall say to 
the wicked3 ,thou shalt surely die3 and 
he  do penance for his sin1 and do      
judgment and justice1    #cc3ae4 ,and if
 that wicked man restore the pledge1 and
 render what he had  robbed1 and walk in
 the commandments of life1 and do no    
unjust thing3 he  shall surely live1 and
 shall not die4    #cc3af4 ,none of his 
sins1 which he hath committed1 shall be 
imputed to  him3 he hath done judgment  
and justice1 he shall surely live4      
#cc3ag4 ,and the children of thy people 
have said3 ,the way of the ,lord is  not
 equitable3 whereas their own way is    
unjust4    #cc3ah4 ,for when the just   
shall depart from his justice1 and      
commit  iniquities1 he shall die in     
them4    #cc3ai4 ,and when the wicked   
shall depart from his wickedness1 and   

shall  do judgments1 and justice1 he    
shall live in them4    #cc3bj4 ,and you 
say3 ,the way of the ,lord is not right1
 ,i will judge every  one of you        
according to his ways1 ,o house of      
,israel4    #cc3ba4 ,and it came to pass
 in the twelfth year of our captivity1  
in the  tenth month1 in the fifth day of
 the month1 that there came to me one   
that was fled from ,jerusalem1 saying3  
,the city is laid waste4    #cc3bb4 ,and
 the hand of the ,lord had been upon me 
in the evening1 before  he that was fled
 came3 and he opened my mouth till he   
came to me in the  morning1 and my mouth
 being opened1 ,i was silent no more4   
#cc3bc4 ,and the word of the ,lord came 
to me1 saying3    #cc3bd4 ,son of man1  
they that dwell in these ruinous places 
in the land  of ,israel1 speak1 saying3 
,abraham was one1 and he inherited the  
land1  but we are many1 the land is     
given us in possession4    #cc3be4      
,therefore say to them3 ,thus saith the 
,lord ,god3 ,you that eat with  the     

blood and lift up your eyes to your     
uncleannesses1 and that shed  blood3    
shall you possess the land by           
inheritance8    #cc3bf4 ,you stood on   
your swords1 you have committed         
abominations1 and  every one hath       
defiled his neighbours wife2 and shall  
you possess the  land by inheritance8   
#cc3bg4 ,say thou thus to them3 ,thus   
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,as ,i live1 they 
that dwell in the ruinous places1 shall 
fall by the sword3 and he that  is in   
the field1 shall be given to the beasts 
to be devoured3 and they  that are in   
holds1 and caves1 shall die of the      
pestilence4    #cc3bh4 ,and ,i will make
 the land a wilderness1 and a desert1   
and the  proud strength thereof shall   
fail1 and the mountains of ,israel shall
 be  desolate1 because there is none to 
pass by them1    #cc3bi4 ,and they shall
 know that ,i am the ,lord1 when ,i     
shall have made  their land waste and   
desolate1 for all their abominations    
which they  have committed4    #cc3cj4  

,and thou son of man3 the children of   
thy people1 that talk of  thee by the   
walls1 and in the doors of the houses1  
and speak one to  another each man to   
his neighbour1 saying3 ,come1 and let us
 hear what is  the word that cometh     
forth from the ,lord4    #cc3ca4 ,and   
they come to thee1 as if people were    
coming in1 and my people  sit before    
thee3 and hear thy words1 and do them   
not3 for they turn them  into a song of 
their mouth1 and their heart goeth after
 their  covetousness4    #cc3cb4 ,and   
thou art to them as a musical song which
 is sung with a sweet  and agreeable    
voice3 and they hear thy words1 and do  
them not4    #cc3cc4 ,and when that     
which was foretold shall come to pass1  
for behold  it is coming1 then shall    
they know that a prophet hath been among
 them4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #cd        
,evil pastors are reproved4 ,christ the 
true pastor shall come1 and gather      
together his flock from all parts of the
 earth1 and preserve it for  ever4      

#cd3a4 ,and the word of the ,lord came  
to me1 it saying3    #cd3b4 ,son of man1
 prophesy concerning the shepherds of   
,israel3 prophesy1  and say to the      
shepherds3 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3  
,woe to the shepherds  of ,israel1 that 
fed themselves3 should not the flocks be
 fed by the  shepherds8    ,shepherds444
 ,that is1 princes1 magistrates1 chief  
priests1 and scribes4    #cd3c4 ,you ate
 the milk1 and you clothed yourselves   
with the wool1 and  you killed that     
which was fat3 but my flock you did not 
feed4    #cd3d4 ,the weak you have not  
strengthened1 and that which was sick   
you  have not healed1 that which was    
broken you have not bound up1 and that  
which was driven away you have not      
brought again1 neither have you  sought 
that which was lost3 but you ruled over 
them with rigour1 and  with a high hand4
    #cd3e4 ,and my sheep were scattered1
 because there was no shepherd and  they
 became the prey of all the beasts of   
the field1 and were scattered4    #cd3f4

 ,my sheep have wandered in every       
mountain1 and in every high hill3  and  
my flocks were scattered upon the face  
of the earth1 and there was  none that  
sought them1 there was none1 ,i say1    
that sought them4    #cd3g4 ,therefore1 
ye shepherds1 hear the word of the      
,lord3    #cd3h4 ,as ,i live1 saith the 
,lord ,god1 forasmuch as my flocks have 
been  made a spoil1 and my sheep are    
become a prey to all the beasts of the  
field1 because there was no shepherd3   
for my shepherds did not seek  after my 
flock1 but the shepherds fed themselves1
 and fed not my flocks3    #cd3i4       
,therefore1 ye shepherds1 hear the word 
of the ,lord3    #cd3aj4 ,thus saith the
 ,lord ,god3 ,behold ,i myself come upon
 the shepherds1  ,i will require my     
flock at their hand1 and ,i will cause  
them to cease  from feeding the flock   
any more1 neither shall the shepherds   
feed  themselves any more3 and ,i will  
deliver my flock from their mouth1 and  
it shall no more be meat for them4      

#cd3aa4 ,for thus saith the ,lord ,god3 
,behold ,i myself will seek my sheep1   
and will visit them4    #cd3ab4 ,as the 
shepherd visiteth his flock in the day  
when he shall be in  the midst of his   
sheep that were scattered1 so will ,i   
visit my sheep1  and will deliver them  
out of all the places where they have   
been  scattered in the cloudy and dark  
day4    #cd3ac4 ,and ,i will bring them 
out from the peoples1 and will gather   
them  out of the countries1 and will    
bring them to their own land3 and ,i    
will  feed them in the mountains of     
,israel1 by the rivers1 and in all the  
habitations of the land4    #cd3ad4 ,i  
will feed them in the most fruitful     
pastures1 and their  pastures shall be  
in the high mountains of ,israel3 there 
shall they rest  on the green grass1 and
 be fed in fat pastures upon the        
mountains of  ,israel4    #cd3ae4 ,i    
will feed my sheep3 and ,i will cause   
them to lie down1 saith  the ,lord ,god4
    #cd3af4 ,i will seek that which was 

lost3 and that which was driven away1   
,i will bring again3 and ,i will bind up
 that which was broken1 and ,i will     
strengthen that which was weak1 and that
 which was fat and strong ,i will       
preserve1 and ,i will feed them in      
judgment4    #cd3ag4 ,and as for you1 ,o
 my flocks1 thus saith the ,lord ,god3  
,behold ,i  judge between cattle and    
cattle1 of rams and of he goats4        
#cd3ah4 ,was it not enough for you to   
feed upon good pastures8 but you  must  
also tread down with your feet the      
residue of your pastures3 and  when you 
drank the clearest water1 you troubled  
the rest with your feet4    #cd3ai4 ,and
 my sheep were fed with that which you  
had trodden with your  feet3 and they   
drank what your feet had troubled4      
#cd3bj4 ,therefore thus saith the ,lord 
,god to you3 ,behold1 ,i myself will    
judge between the fat cattle and the    
lean4    #cd3ba4 ,because you thrusted  
with sides and shoulders1 and struck all
 the  weak cattle with your horns1 till 

they were scattered abroad3    #cd3bb4  
,i will save my flock1 and it shall be  
no more a spoil1 and ,i will  judge     
between cattle and cattle4    #cd3bc4   
,and ,i ,,will ,,set ,,up ,,one         
,,shepherd ,,over ,,them1 and he shall  
feed them1  even my servant ,david3 he  
shall feed them1 and he shall be their  
shepherd4    ,david444 ,christ1 who is  
of the house of ,david4    #cd3bd4 ,and 
,i the ,lord will be their ,god3 and my 
servant ,david the prince  in the midst 
of them3 ,i the ,lord have spoken it4   
#cd3be4 ,and ,i will make a covenant of 
peace with them1 and will cause the     
evil beasts to cease out of the land3   
and they that dwell in the  wilderness  
shall sleep secure in the forests4      
#cd3bf4 ,and ,i will make them a        
blessing round about my hill3 and ,i    
will  send down the rain in its season1 
there shall be showers of blessing4     
#cd3bg4 ,and the tree of the field shall
 yield its fruit1 and the earth  shall  
yield her increase1 and they shall be in

 their land without fear3  and they     
shall know that ,i am the ,lord1 when ,i
 shall have broken the  bonds of their  
yoke1 and shall have delivered them out 
of the hand of  those that rule over    
them4    #cd3bh4 ,and they shall be no  
more for a spoil to the nations1 neither
  shall the beasts of the earth devour  
them3 but they shall dwell securely     
without1 any terror4    #cd3bi4 ,and ,i 
will raise up for them a bud of renown3

you my flocks1 the flocks of my pasture

 saith the ,lord ,god4    ,ezechiel     
,chapter #ce    ,the judgment of mount

to me1 saying3    #ce3b4 ,son of man1

prophesy  concerning it1 and say to it3 
#ce3c4 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3      
,behold ,i come against thee1 mount     
,seir1  and ,i will stretch forth my    
hand upon thee1 and ,i will make thee   
desolate and waste4    #ce3d4 ,i will   
destroy thy cities1 and thou shalt be   
desolate3 and thou  shalt know that ,i  
am the ,lord4    #ce3e4 ,because thou   
hast been an everlasting enemy1 and hast
 shut up the  children of ,israel in the
 hands of the sword in the time of their
  affliction1 in the time of their last 
iniquity4    #ce3f4 ,therefore as ,i    
live1 saith the ,lord ,god1 ,i will     
deliver thee up to  blood1 and blood    
shall pursue thee3 and whereas thou hast
 hated blood1  blood shall pursue thee4 
#ce3g4 ,and ,i will make mount ,seir    

waste and desolate3 and ,i will take    
away from it him that goeth and him that
 returneth4    #ce3h4 ,and ,i will fill 
his mountains with his men that are     
slain3 in thy  hills1 and in thy        
valleys1 and in thy torrents they shall 
fall that are  slain with the sword4    
#ce3i4 ,i will make thee everlasting    
desolations1 and thy cities shall not   
be inhabited3 and thou shalt know that  
,i am the ,lord ,god4    #ce3aj4        
,because thou hast said3 ,the two       
nations1 and the two lands shall  be    
mine1 and ,i will possess them by       
inheritance3 whereas the ,lord was      
there4    #ce3aa4 ,therefore as ,i live1
 saith the ,lord ,god1 ,i will do       
according to  thy wrath1 and according  
to thy envy1 which thou hast exercised  
in  hatred to them3 and ,i will be made 
known by them1 when ,i shall have       
judged thee4    #ce3ab4 ,and thou shalt

you rose up against me with your mouth1

 thee a wilderness4    #ce3ae4 ,as thou 
hast rejoiced over the inheritance of

concerning the land of ,israel1 and say 
to the  mountains1 and to the hills1 to 

the ridges1 and to the valleys3 ,thus   
saith the ,lord ,god3 ,behold ,i have   
spoken in my zeal1 and in my            
indignation1 because you have borne the

,nor lose thy nation any more444 ,this  
whole promise principally relates  to   
the church of ,christ1 and ,god's       
perpetual protection of her3 for as  to 
the carnal ,jews1 they have been removed

#cf3ag4 ,son of man1 when the house of

defiled it with their ways1 and with

them according to their ways1 and  their

entered among the nations whither they  
went1 they  profaned my holy name1 when 
it was said of them3 ,this is the people
 of  the ,lord1 and they are come forth 
out of his land4    #cf3ba4 ,and ,i have
 regarded my own holy name1 which the   
house of ,israel  hath profaned among   
the nations to which they went in4      
#cf3bb4 ,therefore thou shalt say to the
 house of ,israel3 ,thus saith the      

,lord ,god3 ,it is not for your sake

which you have profaned among the       
nations whither you went4    #cf3bc4

all your filthiness1 and ,i will cleanse
 you from all your idols4    #cf3bf4    
,and ,i will give you a new heart1 and  
put a new spirit within you3  and ,i    
will take away the stony heart out of   
your flesh1 and will give  you a heart  
of flesh4    #cf3bg4 ,and ,i will put my

 spirit in the midst of you3 and ,i will
 cause  you to walk in my commandments1

 which ,i gave to your fathers1 and  you
 shall be my people1 and ,i will be your
 ,god4    #cf3bi4 ,and ,i will save you 
from all your uncleannesses3 and ,i will
 call  for corn1 and will multiply it1

of the tree1 and the increase of  the   
field1 that you bear no more the

away among the nations2 and ,i have     
gathered  them together unto their own  
land1 and have not left any of them     

there4    #ci3bi4 ,and ,i will hide my  
face no more from them1 for ,i have     
poured out  my spirit upon all the house

,ezechiel ,chapter #dj    ,the prophet  
sees in a vision the rebuilding of the  
temple3 the  dimensions of several parts
 thereof4    #dj3a4 ,in the five and    
twentieth year of our captivity1 in the 
beginning  of the year1 the tenth day of
 the month1 the fourteenth year after   
the  city was destroyed3 in the selfsame
 day the hand of the ,lord was upon  me1
 and he brought me thither4    #dj3b4   
,in the visions of ,god he brought me   
into the land of ,israel1 and  set me   
upon a very high mountain3 upon which   
there was as the building  of a city1   
bending towards the south4    #dj3c4    
,and he brought me in thither1 and      
behold a man1 whose appearance  was like
 the appearance of brass1 with a line of
 flax in his hand1 and a  measuring reed
 in his hand1 and he stood in the gate4 
#dj3d4 ,and this man said to me3 ,son of

 man1 see with thy eyes1 and hear  with 
thy ears1 and set thy heart upon all    
that ,i shall shew thee3 for  thou art  
brought hither that they may be shewn to
 thee3 declare all that  thou seest1 to 
the house of ,israel4    #dj3e4 ,and    
behold there was a wall on the outside  
of the house round  about1 and in the   
man's hand a measuring reed of six      
cubits and a  handbreadth3 and he       
measured the breadth of the building one
 reed1 and  the height one reed4        
#dj3f4 ,and he came to the gate that    
looked toward the east1 and he went  up 
the steps thereof3 and he measured the  
breadth of the threshold of  the gate   
one reed1 that is1 one threshold was one
 reed broad2    #dj3g4 ,and every little
 chamber was one reed long1 and one reed
 broad3  and between the little chambers
 were five cubits3    #dj3h4 ,and the   
threshold of the gate by the porch of   
the gate within1 was  one reed4         
#dj3i4 ,and he measured the porch of the
 gate eight cubits1 and the front       

thereof two cubits3 and the porch of the
 gate was inward4    #dj3aj4 ,and the   
little chambers of the gate that looked 
eastward were  three on this side1 and  
three on that side3 all three were of   
one  measure1 and the fronts of one     
measure1 on both parts4    #dj3aa4 ,and 
he measured the breadth of the threshold
 of the gate ten  cubits3 and the length
 of the gate thirteen cubits3    #dj3ab4
 ,and the border before the little      
chambers one cubit3 and one  cubit was  
the border on both sides3 and the little
 chambers were six  cubits on this side 
and that side4    #dj3ac4 ,and he       
measured the gate from the roof of one  
little chamber to  the roof of another1 
in breadth five and twenty cubits3 door 
against  door4    #dj3ad4 ,he made also 
fronts of sixty cubits3 and to the front
 the court  of the gate on every side   
round about4    #dj3ae4 ,and before the 
face of the gate which reached even to  
the face of  the porch of the inner     
gate1 fifty cubits4    #dj3af4 ,and     

slanting windows in the little chambers1
 and in their fronts1  which were within
 the gate on every side round about3 and
 in like manner  there were also in the 
porches windows round about within1 and 
before  the fronts the representation of
 palm trees4    #dj3ag4 ,and he brought 
me into the outward court1 and behold   
there were  chambers1 and a pavement of 
stone in the court round about3 thirty  
chambers encompassed the pavement4      
,there were chambers444 ,gazophylacia1  
so called1 because the priests and      
,levites kept in them the stores and    
vessels that belonged to the temple4

,and he said to me3 ,this chamber1 which
 looketh toward the south  shall be for 
the priests that watch in the wards of  
the temple4    #dj3df4 ,but the chamber 
that looketh towards the north shall be 
for the  priests that watch over the    
ministry of the altar4 ,these are the   
sons of  ,sadoc1 who among the sons of  
,levi1 come near to the ,lord1 to       
minister to  him4    #dj3dg4 ,and he    
measured the court a hundred cubits     
long1 and a hundred  cubits broad       
foursquare3 and the altar that was

another on that side4    ,ezechiel      
,chapter #da    ,a description of the   
temple1 and of all the parts of it4     
#da3a4 ,and he brought me into the      
temple1 and he measured the fronts six  
cubits broad on this side1 and six      
cubits on that side1 the breadth of  the
 tabernacle4    ,the temple444 ,this    
plan of a temple1 which was here shewn  
to the prophet  in a vision1 partly had 
relation to the material temple1 which  
was to be  rebuilt3 and partly1 in a    
mystical sense1 to the spiritual temple 
of  ,god1 the church of ,christ4        
#da3b4 ,and the breadth of the gate was 

ten cubits3 and the sides of the  gate  
five cubits on this side1 and five      
cubits on that side3 and he  measured

,this is  the holy of holies4    #da3e4 
,and he measured the wall of the house  
six cubits3 and the breadth  of every   
side chamber four cubits round about the
 house on every side4    #da3f4 ,and the
 side chambers one by another1 were     
twice thirty-three3 and  they bore      
outwards1 that they might enter in      
through the wall of the  house in the   
sides round about1 to hold in1 and not  
to touch the wall of  the temple4       
,one by another444 ,or one over another2
 literally1 side to side1 or side  upon 

side4    #da3g4 ,and there was a broad  
passage round about1 going up by winding
  stairs1 and it led into the upper loft
 of the temple all round3  therefore was
 the temple broader in the higher parts3
 and so from the  lower parts they went 
to the higher by the midst4    #da3h4   
,and ,i saw in the house the height     
round about1 the foundations of  the    
side chambers which were the measure of 
a reed the space of six  cubits3        
#da3i4 ,and the thickness of the wall   
for the side chamber without1 which  was
 five cubits3 and the inner house was   
within the side chambers of the  house1 
,and the inner house was within the side
 chambers of the house444 ,because      
these side chambers were in the very    
walls of the temple all round4 ,or1  it 
may also be rendered 7more agreeably to 
the ,hebrew7 so as to signify  that the 
thickness of the wall for the side      
chamber within1 was the same  as that of
 the wall without2 that is1 equally five
 cubits4    #da3aj4 ,and between the    

chambers was the breadth of twenty      
cubits round  about the house on every  
side4    #da3aa4 ,and the door of the   
side chambers was turned towards the    
place of  prayer3 one door was toward   
the north1 and another door was toward  
the  south3 and the breadth of the place
 for prayer1 was five cubits round      
about4    #da3ab4 ,and the building that
 was separate1 and turned to the way    
that  looked toward the sea1 was seventy
 cubits broad and the wall of the       
building1 five cubits thick round about3
 and ninety cubits long4    #da3ac4 ,and
 he measured the length of the house1 a 
hundred cubits3 and  the separate       
building1 and the walls thereof1 a      
hundred cubits in  length4    #da3ad4   
,and the breadth before the face of the 
house1 and of the separate  place toward
 the east1 a hundred cubits4    #da3ae4 
,and he measured the length of the      
building over against it1 which  was    
separated at the back of it3 and the    
galleries on both sides a  hundred      

cubits3 and the inner temple1 and the   
porches of the court4    #da3af4 ,the   
thresholds1 and the oblique windows1 and
 the galleries round  about on three    
sides1 over against the threshold of    
every one1 and  floored with wood all   
round about3 and the ground was up to   
the windows1  and the windows were shut 
over the doors4    #da3ag4 ,and even to 
the inner house1 and without all the    
wall round about  within and without1 by
 measure4    #da3ah4 ,and there were    
cherubims and palm trees wrought1 so    
that a palm  tree was between a cherub  
and a cherub1 and every cherub had two  
faces4    #da3ai4 ,the face of a man was
 toward the palm tree on one side1 and  
the  face of a lion was toward the palm 
tree on the other side3 set forth       
through all the house round about4      
#da3bj4 ,from the ground even to the    
upper parts of the gate1 were  cherubims
 and palm trees wrought in the wall of  
the temple4    #da3ba4 ,the threshold   
was foursquare1 and the face of the     

sanctuary sight  to sight4    ,the      
threshold was foursquare444 ,that is1   
the gate of the temple was  foursquare3 
and so placed as to answer the gate of  
the sanctuary within4    #da3bb4 ,the   
altar of wood was three cubits high3 and
 the length thereof  was two cubits3 and
 the corners thereof1 aid the length    
thereof1 and the  walls thereof1 were of
 wood4 ,and he said to me3 ,this is the 
table before  the ,lord4    #da3bc4 ,and
 there were two doors in the temple1 and
 in the sanctuary4    #da3bd4 ,and in   
the two doors on both sides were two    
little doors1 which  were folded within 
each other3 for there were two wickets  
on both sides  of the doors4    #da3be4 
,and there were cherubims also wrought  
in the doors of the temple1  and the    
figures of palm trees1 like as were made
 on the walls3 for which  cause also the
 planks were thicker in the front of the
 porch without4    #da3bf4 ,upon which  
were the oblique windows1 and the       
representation of  palm trees on this   

side1 and on that side in the sides of  
the porch1  according to the sides of   
the house1 and the breadth of the walls4
    ,ezechiel ,chapter #db    ,a        
description of the courts1 chambers1 and
 other places belonging to the  temple4 
#db3a4 ,and he brought me forth into the
 outward court by the way that  leadeth 
to the north1 and he brought me into the
 chamber that was over  against the     
separate building1 and over against the 
house toward the  north4    #db3b4 ,in  
the face of the north door was the      
length of hundred cubits1  and the      
breadth of fifty cubits4    #db3c4 ,over
 against the twenty cubits of the inner 
court1 and over  against the pavement of
 the outward court that was paved with  
stone1  where there was a gallery joined
 to a triple gallery4    #db3d4 ,and    
before the chambers was a walk ten      
cubits broad1 looking to  the inner     
parts of a way of one cubit4 ,and their 
doors were toward the  north4    #db3e4 
,where were the store chambers lower    

above3 because they bore up  the        
galleries1 which appeared above out of  
them from he lower parts1 and  from the 
midst of the building4    #db3f4 ,for   
they were of three stories1 and had not 
pillars1 as the  pillars of the courts3 
therefore did they appear above out of  
the lower  places1 and out of the middle
 places1 fifty cubits from the ground4  
#db3g4 ,and the outward wall that went  
about by the chambers1 which were       
towards the outward court on the        
forepart of the chambers1 was fifty     
cubits long4    #db3h4 ,for the length  
of the chambers of the outward court was
 fifty  cubits3 and the length before   
the face of the temple1 a hundred       
cubits4    #db3i4 ,and there was under  
these chambers1 an entrance from the    
east1 for  them that went into them out 
of the outward court4    #db3aj4 ,in the
 breadth of the outward wall of the     
court that was toward  the east1 over   
against the separate building1 and there
 were chambers  before the building4    

#db3aa4 ,and the way before them was    
like the chambers which were toward  the
 north3 they were as long as they1 and  
as broad as they3 and all the  going in 
to them1 and their fashions1 and their  
doors were alike4    #db3ab4 ,according 
to the doors of the chambers that were  
towards the  south3 there was a door in 
the head of the way1 which way was      
before the  porch1 separated towards the
 east as one entereth in4    #db3ac4    
,and he said to me3 ,the chambers of the
 north1 and the chambers of  the south1 
which are before the separate building3 
they are holy  chambers1 in which the   
priests shall eat1 that approach to the 
,lord into  the holy of holies3 there   
they shall lay the most holy things1 and
 the  offering for sin1 and for         
trespass3 for it is a holy place4       
#db3ad4 ,and when the priests shall have
 entered in1 they shall not go out  of  
the holy places into the outward court3 
but there they shall lay  their         
vestments1 wherein they minister1 for   

they are holy3 and they  shall put on   
other garments1 and so they shall go    
forth to the people4    #db3ae4 ,now    
when he had made an end of measuring the
 inner house1 he  brought me out by the 
way of the gate that looked toward the  
east3 and  he measured it on every side 
round about4    #db3af4 ,and he measured
 toward the east with the measuring     
reed1 five  hundred reeds with the      
measuring reed round about4    #db3ag4  
,and he measured toward the north five  
hundred reeds with the  measuring reed  
round about4    #db3ah4 ,and towards the
 south he measured five hundred reeds   
with the  measuring reed round about4   
#db3ai4 ,and toward the west he measured
 five hundred reeds1 with the  measuring
 reed4    #db3bj4 ,by the four winds he 
measured the wall thereof on every side 
round about1 five hundred cubits and    
five hundred cubits broad1 making a     
separation between the sanctuary and the
 place of the people4    ,ezechiel      
,chapter #dc    ,the glory of ,god      

returns to the new temple4 ,the         
,israelites shall no more  profane      
,god's name by idolatry3 the prophet is 
commanded to shew them  the dimensions1 
and form of the temple1 and of the      
altar1 with the  sacrifices to be       
offered thereon4    #dc3a4 ,and he      
brought me to the gate that looked      
towards the east4    #dc3b4 ,and behold 
the glory of the ,god of ,israel came in
 by the way of  the east3 and his voice 
was like the noise of many waters1 and  
the earth  shone with his majesty4      
#dc3c4 ,and ,i saw the vision according 
to the appearance which ,i had seen     
when he came to destroy the city3 and   
the appearance was according to  the    
vision which ,i had seen by the river   
,chobar3 and ,i fell upon my  face4     
#dc3d4 ,and the majesty of the ,lord    
went into the temple by the way of the  
gate that looked to the east4    #dc3e4 
,and the spirit lifted me up and brought
 me into the inner court3  and behold   
the house was filled with the glory of  

the ,lord4    #dc3f4 ,and ,i heard one  
speaking to me out of the house1 and the
 man that  stood by me1    #dc3g4 ,said 
to me3 ,son of man1 the place of my     
throne1 and the place of  the soles of  
my feet1 where ,i dwell in the midst of 
the children of  ,israel for ever3 and  
the house of ,israel shall no more      
profane my holy  name1 they and their   
kings by their fornications1 and by the 
carcasses  of their kings1 and by the   
high places4    #dc3h4 ,they who have   
set their threshold by my threshold1 and
 their posts  by my posts3 and there was
 but a wall between me1 and them3 and   
they  profaned my holy name by the      
abominations which they committed3 for  
which reason ,i consumed them in my     
wrath4    #dc3i4 ,now therefore let them
 put away their fornications1 and the   
carcasses of their kings far from me3   
and ,i will dwell in the midst of  them 
for ever4    #dc3aj4 ,but thou1 son of  
man1 shew to the house of ,israel the   
temple1 and  let them be ashamed of     

their iniquities1 and let them measure  
the  building3    #dc3aa4 ,and be       
ashamed of all that they have done4     
,shew them the form of  the house1 and  
of the fashion thereof1 the goings out  
and the comings  in1 and the whole plan 
thereof1 and all its ordinances1 and all
 its  order1 and all its laws1 and thou 
shalt write it in their sight3 that     
they may keep the whole form thereof1   
and its ordinances1 and do them4        
#dc3ab4 ,this is the law of the house   
upon the top of the mountain3 ,all  its 
border round about2 most holy3 this then
 is the law of the house4    #dc3ac4    
,and these are the measures of the altar
 by the truest cubit1  which is a cubit 
and a handbreadth3 the bottom thereof   
was a cubit1 and  the breadth a cubit3  
and the border thereof unto its edge1   
and round  about1 one handbreadth3 and  
this was the trench of the altar4       
#dc3ad4 ,and from the bottom of the     
ground to the lowest brim two cubits1   
and the breadth of one cubit3 and from  

the lesser brim to the greater  brim    
four cubits1 and the breadth of one     
cubit4    #dc3ae4 ,and the ,ariel itself
 was four cubits3 and from the ,ariel   
upward  were four horns4    ,the        
,ariel444 ,that is1 the altar itself1 or
 rather the highest part of  it1 upon   
which the burnt offerings were laid4 ,in
 the ,hebrew it is ,harel1  that is1 the
 mountain of ,god3 but in the following 
verse ,haariel1 that  is1 the lion of   
,god2 a figure1 from its consuming1 and 
as it were  devouring the sacrifices1 as
 a lion devours its prey4    #dc3af4    
,and the ,ariel was twelve cubits long1 
and twelve cubits broad1  foursquare1   
with equal sides4    #dc3ag4 ,and the   
brim was fourteen cubits long1 and      
fourteen cubits broad  in the four      
corners thereof3 and the crown round    
about it was half a  cubit1 and the     
bottom of it one cubit round about3 and 
its steps turned  toward the east4      
#dc3ah4 ,and he said to me3 ,son of man1
 thus saith the ,lord ,god3 ,these are  

the ceremonies of the altar1 in what day
 soever it shall be made3 that          
holocausts may be offered upon it1 and  
blood poured out4    #dc3ai4 ,and thou  
shalt give to the priests1 and the      
,levites1 that are of  the race of      
,sadoc1 who approach to me1 saith the   
,lord ,god1 to offer to  me a calf of   
the herd for sin4    #dc3bj4 ,and thou  
shalt take of his blood1 and shalt put  
it upon the four  horns thereof1 and    
upon the four corners of the brim1 and  
upon the crown  round about3 and thou   
shalt cleanse1 and expiate it4          
#dc3ba4 ,and thou shalt take the calf1  
that is offered for sin3 and thou  shalt
 burn him in a separate place of the    
house without the sanctuary4    #dc3bb4 
,and in the second day thou shalt offer 
a he goat without blemish  for sin3 and 
they shall expiate the altar1 as they   
expiated it with the  calf4    #dc3bc4  
,and when thou shalt have made an end of
 the expiation thereof1  thou shalt     
offer a calf of the herd without        

blemish1 and a ram of the  flock without
 blemish4    #dc3bd4 ,and thou shalt    
offer them in the sight of the ,lord1

them1 and shall offer them a holocaust  
to  the ,lord4    #dc3be4 ,seven days   
shalt thou offer a he goat for sin      
daily3 they shall  offer also a calf of 
the herd1 and a ram of the flock without
 blemish4    #dc3bf4 ,seven days shall  
they expiate the altar1 and shall       
cleanse it3  and they shall consecrate  
it4    ,consecrate it444 ,literally1    
fill its hand1 that is1 dedicate and    
apply  it to holy service4    #dc3bg4   
,and the days being expired1 on the     
eighth day and thenceforward1  the      
priests shall offer your holocausts upon
 the altar1 and the peace  offerings3   
and ,i will be pacified towards you1    
saith the ,lord ,god4    ,ezechiel      
,chapter #dd    ,the east gate of the   
sanctuary shall be always shut4 ,the    
uncircumcised  shall not enter into the

served  idols3 but the sons of ,sadoc   
shall do the priestly functions1 who    
stood  firm in the worst of times4      
#dd3a4 ,and he brought me back to the   
way of the gate of the outward          
sanctuary1 which looked towards the     
east3 and it was shut4    #dd3b4 ,and   
the ,lord said to me3 ,this gate shall  
be shut1 it shall not be  opened1 and no

filled the house  of the ,lord3 and ,i  
fell on my face4    #dd3e4 ,and the     
,lord said to me3 ,son of man1 attend   
with thy heart and  behold with thy     
eyes1 and hear with thy ears1 all that  

,i say to thee  concerning all the      
ceremonies of the house of the ,lord1

and mark well the ways of the temple1   
with all the  goings out of the         
sanctuary4    #dd3f4 ,and thou shalt say
 to the house of ,israel that provoketh 
me3 ,thus  saith the ,lord ,god3 ,let   
all your wicked doings suffice you1 ,o  
house of  ,israel3    #dd3g4 ,in that   
you have brought in strangers           
uncircumcised in heart1 and             
uncircumcised in flesh1 to be in my     
sanctuary1 and to defile my house3  and 
you offer my bread1 the fat1 and the    
blood3 and you have broken my  covenant 
by all your wicked doings4    #dd3h4    
,and you have not kept the ordinances of
 my sanctuary3 but you have  set keepers
 of my charge in my sanctuary for       
yourselves4    #dd3i4 ,thus saith the   
,lord ,god3 ,no stranger uncircumcised  
in heart1 and  uncircumcised in flesh1  
shall enter into my sanctuary1 no       
stranger that  is in the midst of the   

children of ,israel4    #dd3aj4

,israel went astray1 and have wandered  
from me after their  idols1 and have    
borne their iniquity3    #dd3aa4 ,they  
shall be officers in my sanctuary1 and

and ministers to the house3 they shall  
slay the  holocausts1 and the victims of
 the people3 and they shall stand in    
their  sight1 to minister to them4      
#dd3ab4 ,because they ministered to them
 before their idols1 and were a         
stumblingblock of iniquity to the house 
of ,israel3 therefore have ,i  lifted up
 my hand against them1 saith the ,lord  
,god1 and they shall bear  their        
iniquity3    #dd3ac4 ,and they shall not
 come near to me1 to do the office of   
priest to  me1 neither shall they come  
near to any of my holy things that are  
by  the holy of holies3 but they shall  
bear their shame1 and their             
wickednesses which they have committed4

their vestments4    ,shall not sanctify 
the people with their vestments444 ,by

their heads1 nor wear long hair3 but

#dd3ba4 ,and no priest shall drink wine 
when he is to go into the inner  court4 
#dd3bb4 ,neither shall they take to wife
 a widow1 nor one that is  divorced1 but
 they shall take virgins of the seed of 
the house of  ,israel3 but they may take
 a widow also1 that is1 the widow of a  
priest4    #dd3bc4 ,and they shall teach
 my people the difference between holy  
and  profane1 and shew them how to      

discern between clean and unclean4      
#dd3bd4 ,and when there shall be a      
controversy1 they shall stand in my     
judgments1 and shall judge3 they shall  
keep my laws1 and my ordinances  in all 
my solemnities1 and sanctify my         
sabbaths4    #dd3be4 ,and they shall    
come near no dead person1 lest they be  
defiled1  only their father and mother1

sister1 that hath not had another       
husband3 for whom they may become

cleansed1 they shall reckon unto him    
seven days4    #dd3bg4 ,and in the day  
that he goeth into the sanctuary1 to the

brought me in by the entry that was at  
the side of the  gate1 into the chambers
 of the sanctuary that were for the     
priests1  which looked toward the north4
 ,and there was a place bending to the  
west4    #df3bj4 ,and he said to me3    
,this is the place where the priests    
shall boil  the sin offering1 and the   

trespass offering3 where they shall     
dress the  sacrifice1 that they may not 
bring it out into the outward court1 and
  the people be sanctified4    #df3ba4  
,and he brought me into the outward     
court1 and he led me about by  the four 
corners of the court3 and behold there  
was a little court in  the corner of the
 court1 to every corner of the court    
there was a little  court4    #df3bb4   
,in the four corners of the court were  
little courts disposed1  forty cubits   
long1 and thirty broad1 all the four    
were of one measure4    #df3bc4 ,and    
there was a wall round about compassing 
the four little  courts1 and there were 
kitchens built under the rows round     
about4    #df3bd4 ,and he said to me3   
,this is the house of the kitchens      
wherein the  ministers of the house of  
the ,lord shall boil the victims of the 
people4    ,ezechiel ,chapter #dg       
,the vision of the holy waters issuing  
out from under the temple3 the  borders 
of the land to be divided among the     

twelve tribes4    #dg3a4 ,and he brought
 me again to the gate of the house1 and 
behold  waters issued out from under the
 threshold of the house toward the east3
  for the forefront of the house looked 
toward the east3 but the waters  came   
down to the right side of the temple to 
the south part of the  altar4           
,waters444 ,these waters are not to be  
understood literally 7for there  were   
none such that flowed from the temple72 
but mystically1 of the  baptism of      
,christ1 and of his doctrine and his    
grace3 the trees that  grow on the banks
 are ,christian virtues3 the fishes are 
,christians1 that  spiritually live in  
and by these holy waters1 the fishermen 
are the  apostles1 and apostolic        
preachers3 the fenny places1 where there
 is no  health1 are such as by being out
 of the church are separated from these 
waters of life4    #dg3b4 ,and he led me
 out by the way of the north gate1 and  
he caused me  to turn to the way without
 the outward gate to the way that looked

  toward the east3 and behold there ran 
out waters on the right side4    #dg3c4 
,and when the man that had the line in  
his hand went out towards  the east1 he 
measured a thousand cubits3 and he      
brought me through the  water up to the 
ankles4    #dg3d4 ,and again he measured
 a thousand1 and he brought me through  
the  water up to the knees4    #dg3e4   
,and he measured a thousand1 and he     
brought me through the water up  to the 
loins4 ,and he measured a thousand1 and 
it was a torrent1 which ,i  could not   
pass over3 for the waters were risen so 
as to make a deep  torrent1 which could 
not be passed over4    #dg3f4 ,and he   
said to me3 ,surely thou hast seen1 ,o  
son of man4 ,and he  brought me out1 and
 he caused me to turn to the bank of the
 torrent4    #dg3g4 ,and when ,i had    
turned myself1 behold on the bank of the
 torrent  were very many trees on both  
sides4    #dg3h4 ,and he said to me3    
,these waters that issue forth toward   
the  hillocks of sand to the east1 and  

go down to the plains of the desert1    
shall go into the sea1 and shall go out1
 and the waters shall be healed4        
#dg3i4 ,and every living creature that  
creepeth whithersoever the torrent      
shall come1 shall live3 and there shall 
be fishes in abundance after  these     
waters shall come thither1 and they     
shall be healed1 and all  things shall  
live to which the torrent shall come4   
#dg3aj4 ,and the fishers shall stand    
over these waters1 from ,engaddi even   
to ,engallim there shall be drying of   
nets3 there shall be many sorts of  the 
fishes thereof1 as the fishes of the    
great sea1 a very great  multitude3     
#dg3aa4 ,but on the shore thereof1 and  
in the fenny places they shall not  be  
healed1 because they shall be turned    
into saltpits4    #dg3ab4 ,and by the   
torrent on the banks thereof on both    
sides shall grow  all trees that bear   
fruit3 their leaf shall not fall off1   
and their  fruit shall not fail3 every  
month shall they bring forth            

firstfruits1  because the waters thereof
 shall issue out of the sanctuary3 and  
the  fruits thereof shall be for food1  
and the leaves thereof for medicine4    
#dg3ac4 ,thus saith the ,lord ,god3     
,this is the border1 by which you shall 
possess the land according to the twelve
 tribes of ,israel3 for ,joseph  hath a 
double portion4    #dg3ad4 ,and you     
shall possess it1 every man in like     
manner as his  brother3 concerning which
 ,i lifted up my hand to give it to your
  fathers3 and this land shall fall unto
 you for a possession4    #dg3ae4 ,and  
this is the border of the land3 toward  
the north side1 from  the great sea by  
the way of ,hethalon1 as men go to      
,sedada1    #dg3af4 ,emath1 ,berotha1   
,sabarim1 which is between the border of

,damascus1 and from the north to the    

north3 the border of  ,emath1 this is   
the north side4    #dg3ah4 ,and the east
 side is from the midst of ,auran1 and  
from the midst  of ,damascus1 and from  
the midst of ,galaad1 and from the midst
 of the  land of ,israel1 ,jordan making
 the bound to the east sea1 and thus you
  shall measure the east side4          
#dg3ai4 ,and the south side southward   
is1 from ,thamar even to the waters  of 
contradiction of ,cades3 and1 the

great sea from the borders  straight on1
 till thou come to ,emath3 this is the  
side of the sea4    #dg3ba4 ,and you    
shall divide this land unto you by the  
tribes of ,israel3    #dg3bb4 ,and you  
shall divide it by lot for an           
inheritance to you1 and to  the         
strangers that shall come over to you1
