Israel ; and I will feed you with flesh, and quench you with blood! You shall eat the flesh of Heroes, and drink theblood of the Princes of the earth,-—rams, lambs, and magnificent bulls,—·~all of them fat-fleshed! I will feed you to gorging with fat, and make you drunk with blood, at the sacrifice I shall sacrifice for you! and will satiate you at My table with horse, and mounted hero, and common says the Mxonrv Loan, ‘when I display My Majesty tothe nations :~—·—and all nations see the decision that I execute, and the power with which I control them. Then the House of Israel will acknowledge that I am their Evnx-uvmo Gon, from that day forward! And the heathen will also learn that for their faults the House of Israel were trans- ported. Consequently when they deserted from Me I turned My face from them, and delivered them to the power of oppressors, and they all fell before the sword, on account of the corruption, and the sin they practised ; therefore I hid My face from them. thus the MIGHTY

I will restore the Captivity of ]ac0b; and have pity upon all the House of Israel, and be in earnest for MY HOLY NAME, and remove their degradation, and all the perversity with which they abandoned Me,·—-when they dwelt in their own country in safety and without fear, when I bring them back from the

Peoples, and collect them from the countries of their enemies, and dis- tinguish Myself in the sight of many nations.

I was brought in the Divine Visions to the land of Israel, and was stationed on a very high hill, and opposite it, towards the south, was a city as if being built. When he brought me there I saw a man, whose appearance was like the·appear· ance of brass, with a flaxen cord and a measuring rod in his hand, who stood at its gate. This man said to Son of Adam! look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and fix in your mind all that I show you, because you have been brought for the purpose of having them shown. Therefore inform the House of` Israel of all that I show you. I observed there was a wall around outside the Temple. But the man had a measuring rod

oi six cubits and of a cubit and a hand’s breadth in his hand. That was its length. And he measured the entrance to the Temple, one rod, and its height one. Then he went to the gate which faced towards the East, and ascended the stairs and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod wide. That is, each threshold was one rod wide, with a lodge one rod long, and one rod broad, and the elevation of the lodges was five cubits ; and the platform of the gate at the

side porch of the gate opposite the Temple, was one rod. Next he measured the porch of the 9 gate eight cubits, with its panels of two cubits. This was the porch of the gate opposite the Temple. And the lodges at the East Gate were three on this side and three on that side. The three of equal measure, and each ofthe porches the same size on each ds1 e. Then he measured the broadway of
