1
Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
2
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
3
And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.
4
The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,
5
And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and
6
for all the house of Israel his companions:
7
and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand.
8
And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?
9
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it,
10
even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
11
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
12
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
13
and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;
14
neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
15
And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in mine ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
16
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
17
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
18
My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
19
And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
20
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
21
Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
22
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
23
and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords:
24
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
25
Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with thee.
26
Be thou prepared, yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

1
And he brought me to the temple; and he measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, the breadth of the tent.
2
And the breadth of the entry was ten cubits, and the sides of the entry were five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3
And he went inwards, and measured the post of the entry, two cubits; and the entry, six cubits; and the breadth of the entry, seven cubits.
4
And he measured its length, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy [place].
5
And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of the side-chambers, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
6
And the side-chambers were three, chamber over chamber, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which the house had for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold; but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
7
And for the side-chambers there was an enlarging, and it went round about [the house] increasing upward; for the surrounding of the house increased upward round about the house; therefore the house had width upward, and so ascended [from] the lower [story] to the upper, by the middle one.
8
And I saw that the house had an elevation round about: the foundations of the side-chambers, a full reed, six cubits to the joint.
9
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers without, was five cubits, as also what was left free along the building of the side-chambers that pertained to the house.
10
And between the cells [and the house] was a width of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
11
And the entry of the side-chambers was toward what was left free, one entry toward the north, and one entry toward the south; and the width of the space left free was five cubits round about.
12
And the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about; and its length ninety cubits.
13
And he measured the house: the length a hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its walls, the length a hundred cubits;
14
and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the separate places toward the east, a hundred cubits.
15
And he measured the length of the building before the separate place, which was at the back of it, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court.
16
The thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about the three of them (opposite the thresholds it was wainscoted with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered),
17
[and] above, over the entry, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about, within and without, [all was] by measure.
18
And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, and a palm-tree was between cherub and cherub; and the cherub had two faces:
19
the face of a man was toward the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm-tree on the other side: [so] was it made upon all the house round about.
20
From the ground unto above the entry were the cherubim and the palm-trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple.
21
As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.
22
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls were of wood. And he said unto me, This is the table which is before Jehovah.
23
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24
And the doors had two leaves, two turning-leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25
And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, as there were made upon the walls; and there was a wooden portal in front of the porch without,
26
and closed windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch and the side chambers of the house and the portals.

1
And he brought me into the temple, the porch of which he measured, six cubits the breadth on one side, and six cubits the breadth of the porch on the other side.
2
And the breadth of the gateway was ten cubits, and the side-pieces of the gateway were five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length of it, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3
And he went into the inner court, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the side-pieces of the door, seven cubits on one side, and seven cubits on the other side.
4
And he measured the length of the doors, forty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, in front of the temple: and he said, This is the holy of holies.
5
And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits: and the breadth of [each] side, four cubits round about.
6
And the sides were twice ninety, side against side; and [there was] a space in the wall of the house at the sides round about, that they should be for them that take hold of them to see, that they should not at all touch the walls of the house.
7
And the breadth of the upper side [was made] according to the projection out of the wall, against the upper one round about the house, that it might be enlarged above, and that [men] might go up to the upper chambers from those below, and from the ground-sills to the third story.
8
And as for the height of the house round about, [each] space between the sides was equal to a reed of six cubits;
9
and the breadth of the wall of each side without was five cubits; and the spaces that were left between the sides of the house,
10
and between the chambers, were a width of twenty cubits, the circumference of the house.
11
And the doors of the chambers were toward the space left by the one door that looked northward, and [there was] one door southward; and the breadth of the remaining open space [was] five cubits in extent round about.
12
And the partition [wall] in front of the remaining space, toward the west, was seventy cubits in breadth; the breadth of the partition wall was five cubits round about, and the length of it ninety cubits.
13
And he measured in front of the house a length of a hundred cubits, and the remaining spaces and the partitions; and the walls thereof were in length a hundred cubits.
14
And the breadth in front of the house, and the remaining [spaces] before [it were] a hundred cubits.
15
And he measured the length of the partition in front of the space left by the back parts of that house; and the [spaces] left on this side and on that side were in length a hundred cubits: and the temple and the corners and the outer porch were ceiled.
16
And the windows were latticed, [giving] light round about to the three [stories], so as to look through: and the house and the parts adjoining were planked round about, and [so was] the floor, and from the floor up to the windows, and the window [shutters] folded back in three parts for one to look through.
17
And almost all the way to the inner, and close to the outer [side], and upon all the wall round about within and without,
18
were carved cherubs and palm-trees between the cherubs, [and each] cherub [had] two faces.
19
The face of a man was toward one palm-tree on this side and on that side, and the face of a lion toward another palm-tree on this side and on that side: the house was carved all round.
20
From the floor to the ceiling were cherubs and palm-trees carved.
21
And the holy place and the temple opened on four sides; in front of the holy places the appearance was as the look of
22
a wooden altar, the height of it three cubits, and the length two cubits, and the breadth two cubits; and it had horns, and the base of it and the sides of it were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table, which is before the face of the Lord.
23
And the temple [had] two doors, and the sanctuary [had] two doors, with two turning leaves [apiece];
24
two leaves to the one, and two leaves to the other door.
25
And [there was] carved work upon them, and cherubs on the doors of the temple, and palm-trees according to the carving of the sanctuary; and [there were] stout planks in front of the porch without.
26
And [there were] secret windows; and he measured from side to side, to the roofing of the porch; and the sides of the house were closely planked.

1
Et introduxit me in templum, et mensus est frontes, sex cubitos latitudinis hinc, et sex cubitos latitudinis inde, latitudinem tabernaculi.
2
Et latitudo portæ, decem cubitorum erat: et latera portæ, quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum, et latitudinem viginti cubitorum.
3
Et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portæ duos cubitos: et portam, sex cubitorum: et latitudinem portæ, septem cubitorum.
4
Et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem eius viginti cubitorum, ante faciem templi: et dixit ad me: Hoc est sanctum sanctorum.
5
Et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum: et latitudinem lateris quattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus.
6
Latera autem, latus ad latus, bis triginta tria: et erant eminentia, quæ ingrederentur per parietem domus, in lateribus per circuitum, ut continerent, et non attingerent parietem templi.
7
Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in cœnaculum templi deferebat per gyrum: idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus: et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium.
8
Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio:
9
et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum: et erat interior domus in lateribus domus.
10
Et inter gazophylacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique,
11
et ostium lateris ad orationem: ostium unum ad viam Aquilonis, et ostium unum ad viam Australem: et latitudinem loci ad orationem, quinque cubitorum in circuitu.
12
Et ædificium, quod erat separatum, versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum. paries autem ædificii, quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum: et longitudo eius nonaginta cubitorum.
13
Et mensus est domus longitudinem, centum cubitorum: et quod separatum erat ædificium, et parietes eius, longitudinis centum cubitorum.
14
Latitudo autem ante faciem domus: et eius, quod erat separatum contra Orientem, centum cubitorum.
15
Et mensus est longitudinem ædificii contra faciem eius, quod erat separatum ad dorsum: ethecas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum: et templum interius, et vestibula atrii.
16
Limina, et fenestras obliquas, et ethecas in circuitu per tres partes, contra uniuscuiusque limen, stratumque ligno per gyrum in circuitu: terra autem usque ad fenestras, et fenestræ clausæ super ostia.
17
Et usque ad domum interiorem, et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus, et forinsecus, ad mensuram.
18
Et fabrefacta cherubim et palmæ: et palma inter cherub et cherub, duasque facies habebat cherub.
19
Faciem hominis iuxta palmam ex hac parte, et faciem leonis iuxta palmam ex alia parte: expressam per omnem domum in circuitu.
20
De terra usque ad superiora portæ, cherubim, et palmæ cælatæ erant in pariete templi.
21
Limen quadrangulum, et facies sanctuarii, aspectus contra aspectum.
22
Altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo: et longitudo eius duorum cubitorum: et anguli eius, et longitudo eius, et parietes eius lignei. Et locutus est ad me: Hæc est mensa coram Domino.
23
Et duo ostia erant in templo, et in sanctuario.
24
Et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola, quæ in se invicem plicabantur: bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum.
25
Et cælata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim, et sculpturæ palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressæ erant: quam ob rem et grossiora erant ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus.
26
Super quæ fenestræ obliquæ, et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in humerulis vestibuli: secundum latera domus, latitudinemque parietum.

1
He brought me to the nave and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.
2
The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.
3
Then he went inward and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
4
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”
5
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.
6
The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in each story. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported and not penetrate the wall of the house.
7
The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.
8
I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.
9
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.
10
Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.
11
The doors of the side rooms were toward an open area that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.
12
The building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
13
So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;
14
also the width of the face of the temple, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.
15
He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits from the inner temple, and the porches of the court,
16
the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
17
to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.
18
It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,
19
so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.
20
Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.
21
The door posts of the nave were squared. As for the face of the nave, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.
22
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
23
The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24
The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25
There were made on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.
26
There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. This is how the side rooms of the temple and the thresholds were arranged.

15
And he hath measured the length of the building unto the front of the separate place that <FI>is<Fi> at its hinder part, and its galleries on this side and on that side, a hundred cubits, and the inner temple and the porches of the court,
16
the thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about them three, over-against the threshold, a ceiling of wood all round about, and the ground unto the windows and the covered windows,
17
over above the opening, and unto the inner-house, and at the outside, and by all the wall all round about within and without <FI>by<Fi> measure.
18
And it is made <FI>with<Fi> cherubs and palm-trees, and a palm-tree <FI>is<Fi> between cherub and cherub, and two faces <FI>are<Fi> to the cherub;
19
and the face of man <FI>is<Fi> unto the palm-tree on this side, and the face of a young lion unto the palm-tree on that side; it is made unto all the house all round about.
20
from the earth unto above the opening <FI>are<Fi> the cherubs and the palm-trees made, and <FI>on<Fi> the wall of the temple.

Explain Like I'm 5
A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
