Chapter 42 of Ezekiel—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then he 1brought me out into the 2outer court, the way 3toward the north; and he brought me to the 4chamber which was opposite the 5separate area and opposite the 6building toward the north.
  2. Along the length, which was a 7hundred cubits, was the north door; the width was fifty cubits.
  3. Opposite the 8twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the 9pavement which belonged to the outer court, was [a]10gallery corresponding to [b]gallery in three stories.
  4. Before the 11chambers was an inner walk ten cubits wide, a way of one hundred cubits; and their openings were on the north.
  5. Now the upper chambers were [c]smaller because the [d]12galleries took more space away from them than from the lower and middle ones in the building.
  6. For they were in 13three stories and had no pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper chambers were [e]set back from the ground upward, more than the lower and middle ones.
  7. As for the 14outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.
  8. For the length of the chambers which were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and behold, the length of those facing the temple was a 15hundred cubits.
  9. Below these chambers was the 16entrance on the east side, as one enters them from the outer court.
  10. ¶ In the [f]thickness of the 17wall of the court toward the east, facing the 18separate area and facing the building, there were 19chambers.
  11. The 20way in front of them was like the appearance of the chambers which were on the north, according to their length so was their width, and all their exits were both according to their arrangements and openings.
  12. Corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the 21wall toward the east, as one enters them.
  13. ¶ Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the 22separate area, they are the 23holy chambers where the priests who are 24near to the LORD shall eat the 25most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.
  14. When the priests enter, then they shall not go out into the outer court from the sanctuary [g]without 26laying there their 27garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they shall approach that which is for the people.”
  15. ¶ Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the 28gate which faced toward the east and measured it all around.
  16. He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds by the 29measuring reed.
  17. He measured on the north side five hundred reeds by the measuring reed.
  18. On the south side he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
  19. He turned to the west side and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
  20. He measured it [h]on the four sides; it had a 30wall all around, the 31length five hundred and the 32width five hundred, to 33divide between the holy and the profane.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
