1 And he ledde me out to the &yogh;ate, that
bihelde to the eest weie.
2 And lo! the
-- --
glorie of God of Israel entride bi the eest
weie; and a vois was to it, as the vois of
many watris, and the erthe schynede of
the mageste of hym.
3 And Y si&yogh; a visioun,
bi the licnesse whiche Y hadde seyn, whanne
he cam to distrie the citee; and the licnesse
was lijc the biholdyng whiche Y
hadde seyn bisidis the flood Chobar.
4 And
Y felle doun on my face, and the mageste
of the Lord entride in to the temple, bi
the weie of the &yogh;ate that biheeld to the
eest.
5 And the Spirit reiside me, and ledde
me in to the ynnere halle; and lo! the
hous was fillid of the glorie of the Lord.
6 And Y herde oon spekynge to me of the
hous. And the man that stood bisidis
me,
7 seide to me, Thou, son of man, this
is the place of my seete, and the place of
the steppis of my feet, where Y dwelle in
the myddis of the sones of Israel withouten
ende; and the hous of Israel schulen
no more defoule myn hooli name, thei,
and the kyngis of hem in her fornicaciouns,
and in the fallyngis of her kyngis,
and in hi&yogh; places.
8 Whiche maden her
threisfold bisidis my threisfold, and her
postis bisidis my postis, and a wal was
bitwixe me and hem; and thei defouliden
myn hooli name in abhomynaciouns whiche

wraththe.
9 Now therfor putte thei awei
fer her fornicacioun, and the fallyng of
her kyngis fro me; and Y schal dwelle
euere in the myddis of hem.
10 But thou,
sone of man, schewe the temple to the
hous of Israel, and be thei schent of her
wickidnessis; and mete thei the bilding,
11 and be thei aschamed of alle thingis
whiche thei diden. Thou schalt schewe to
hem, and thou schalt write bifore the i&yogh;en
of hem the figure of the hous, and of the
bildyng therof; the outgoyngis, and the

and alle the comaundementis therof, and
al the ordre therof, `and alle the lawis
therof; that thei kepe alle the discryuyngis
-- --

and do tho.
12 This is the lawe of the hous,
in the hi&yogh;nesse of the hil; alle the coostis
therof in cumpas is the hooli of hooli
thingis; therfor this is the lawe of the
hous.
13 Forsothe these ben the mesuris of

this was the diche of the auter.
14 And fro

and the breede was of o cubit; forsothe
thilke ariel, that is, the hi&yogh;ere part of the
auter, was of foure cubitis; and fro the
auter `til to aboue weren foure hornes.
16 And the auter of twelue cubitis in lengthe
was foure cornerid with euene sidis, bi

17 And the hei&yogh;the

in the cumpas therof, and the bosum therof
was of o cubit bi cumpas; forsothe the

18 And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man,

19 And

20 And

schalt putte on foure hornes therof, and
on foure corneris of hei&yogh;the, and on the
coroun in cumpas; and thou schalt clense
it, and make clene.
21 And thou schalt take
the calf which is offrid for synne, and
thou schalt brenne it in a departid place
-- --

22 And
in the secounde dai thou schalt offre a
buk of geet, which is with out wem, for

as thei clensiden in the calf.
23 And whanne

24 And thou schalt offre tho in
