What does Ezechiel Chapter 40 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Ezechiel 40 dates the vision to captivity's twenty-fifth year, the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, fourteen years after the city fell. On a very high mountain, a citylike building lies toward the south. A man appearing like brass holds a flax line and a measuring reed; the prophet must see, hear, set his heart and declare what he sees. The reed is six cubits and a handbreadth. The surrounding wall measures one reed in breadth and height. Neither an expressly angelic identity nor an added royal measuring standard is specified.

At the eastern gate, steps lead to a one-reed threshold. Little chambers measure a reed square with five cubits between; another threshold is a reed. The porch is eight cubits with a two-cubit front inward. Three equal chambers stand on each side. The gate's threshold is ten cubits broad and the gate thirteen long; borders are one cubit and chambers six cubits square. Roof-to-roof breadth is twenty-five, doors opposite, the front sixty and the distance from outer face to inner porch fifty. Slanting windows and palm fronts decorate the gate. The outer court has stone pavement and thirty chambers; the edition describes these as priestly and Levitical chambers and stores for vessels. Lower pavement faces gates; outer-to-inner court distance is one hundred cubits east and north.

The northern gate has three chambers on each side and matching measurements, fifty by twenty-five, windows, carvings and seven steps to its porch. Inner gates stand opposite north and east at a hundred-cubit distance. The southern outer gate likewise measures fifty by twenty-five, with windows, porches, seven steps and palms on each side; the southern inner gate is a hundred cubits away. Inner south, east and north gates repeat the fifty-by-twenty-five measures, windows and palms, with porches facing outward and eight steps. The southern account also specifies surrounding porches twenty-five cubits long and five broad.

Chambers by the gate fronts have doors for washing holocausts. Two tables on either side inside the porch and two on either side outside by the northern ascent make eight slaughter tables for holocaust, sin and trespass offerings. Four square stone tables are a cubit and a half long and broad and one cubit high, holding sacrificial vessels. Inward borders are a handbreadth and flesh lies upon tables; knives are not specifically named. Singing men's chambers are inside: one at the northern gate faces south, another at the eastern gate faces north. The south-facing chamber serves priests keeping the temple's charge; the north-facing chamber serves altar priests, sons of Sadoc among Levi.

The court is a hundred cubits square with the altar before the temple. Temple-porch fronts measure five cubits each, gate breadth three each side, and the porch twenty long and eleven broad. Eight steps ascend with a pillar on each side. The measurements and priestly assignments do not independently assert that true worship universally requires this exact architecture.
