< Ezekiel 41 >

1 Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.
וַיְבִיאֵנִי אֶל־הַהֵיכָל וַיָּמׇד אֶת־הָאֵילִים שֵׁשׁ־אַמּוֹת רֹחַב מִפּוֹ וְשֵׁשׁ־אַמּֽוֹת־רֹחַב מִפּוֹ רֹחַב הָאֹֽהֶל׃
2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.
וְרֹחַב הַפֶּתַח עֶשֶׂר אַמּוֹת וְכִתְפוֹת הַפֶּתַח חָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת מִפּוֹ וְחָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת מִפּוֹ וַיָּמׇד אׇרְכּוֹ אַרְבָּעִים אַמָּה וְרֹחַב עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּֽה׃
3 And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.
וּבָא לִפְנִימָה וַיָּמׇד אֵֽיל־הַפֶּתַח שְׁתַּיִם אַמּוֹת וְהַפֶּתַח שֵׁשׁ אַמּוֹת וְרֹחַב הַפֶּתַח שֶׁבַע אַמּֽוֹת׃
4 Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
וַיָּמׇד אֶת־אׇרְכּוֹ עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה וְרֹחַב עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה אֶל־פְּנֵי הַהֵיכָל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי זֶה קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִֽׁים׃
5 Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.
וַיָּמׇד קִֽיר־הַבַּיִת שֵׁשׁ אַמּוֹת וְרֹחַב הַצֵּלָע אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב לַבַּיִת סָבִֽיב׃
6 The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.
וְהַצְּלָעוֹת צֵלָע אֶל־צֵלָע שָׁלוֹשׁ וּשְׁלֹשִׁים פְּעָמִים וּבָאוֹת בַּקִּיר אֲשֶׁר־לַבַּיִת לַצְּלָעוֹת סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב לִהְיוֹת אֲחוּזִים וְלֹֽא־יִהְיוּ אֲחוּזִים בְּקִיר הַבָּֽיִת׃
7 The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.
וְֽרָחֲבָה וְֽנָסְבָה לְמַעְלָה לְמַעְלָה לַצְּלָעוֹת כִּי מֽוּסַב־הַבַּיִת לְמַעְלָה לְמַעְלָה סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב לַבַּיִת עַל־כֵּן רֹחַב־לַבַּיִת לְמָעְלָה וְכֵן הַתַּחְתּוֹנָה יַעֲלֶה עַל־הָעֶלְיוֹנָה לַתִּיכוֹנָֽה׃
8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.
וְרָאִיתִי לַבַּיִת גֹּבַהּ סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב (מיסדות) [מוּסְדוֹת] הַצְּלָעוֹת מְלוֹ הַקָּנֶה שֵׁשׁ אַמּוֹת אַצִּֽילָה׃
9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple
רֹחַב הַקִּיר אֲֽשֶׁר־לַצֵּלָע אֶל־הַחוּץ חָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת וַאֲשֶׁר מֻנָּח בֵּית צְלָעוֹת אֲשֶׁר לַבָּֽיִת׃
10 and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.
וּבֵין הַלְּשָׁכוֹת רֹחַב עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה סָבִיב לַבַּיִת סָבִיב ׀ סָבִֽיב׃
11 The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.
וּפֶתַח הַצֵּלָע לַמֻּנָּח פֶּתַח אֶחָד דֶּרֶךְ הַצָּפוֹן וּפֶתַח אֶחָד לַדָּרוֹם וְרֹחַב מְקוֹם הַמֻּנָּח חָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת סָבִיב ׀ סָבִֽיב׃
12 Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.
וְהַבִּנְיָן אֲשֶׁר אֶל־פְּנֵי הַגִּזְרָה פְּאַת דֶּֽרֶךְ־הַיָּם רֹחַב שִׁבְעִים אַמָּה וְקִיר הַבִּנְיָן חָמֵשׁ־אַמּוֹת רֹחַב סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב וְאׇרְכּוֹ תִּשְׁעִים אַמָּֽה׃
13 Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
וּמָדַד אֶת־הַבַּיִת אֹרֶךְ מֵאָה אַמָּה וְהַגִּזְרָה וְהַבִּנְיָה וְקִירוֹתֶיהָ אֹרֶךְ מֵאָה אַמָּֽה׃
14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
וְרֹחַב פְּנֵי הַבַּיִת וְהַגִּזְרָה לַקָּדִים מֵאָה אַמָּֽה׃
15 Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court,
וּמָדַד אֹֽרֶךְ־הַבִּנְיָן אֶל־פְּנֵי הַגִּזְרָה אֲשֶׁר עַל־אַחֲרֶיהָ (ואתוקיהא) [וְאַתִּיקֶיהָא] מִפּוֹ וּמִפּוֹ מֵאָה אַמָּה וְהַהֵיכָל הַפְּנִימִי וְאֻלַמֵּי הֶחָצֵֽר׃
16 as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.
הַסִּפִּים וְהַחַלּוֹנִים הָאֲטֻמוֹת וְהָֽאַתִּיקִים ׀ סָבִיב לִשְׁלׇשְׁתָּם נֶגֶד הַסַּף שְׂחִיף עֵץ סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב וְהָאָרֶץ עַד־הַֽחַלּוֹנוֹת וְהַחַלֹּנוֹת מְכֻסּֽוֹת׃
17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,
עַל־מֵעַל הַפֶּתַח וְעַד־הַבַּיִת הַפְּנִימִי וְלַחוּץ וְאֶל־כׇּל־הַקִּיר סָבִיב ׀ סָבִיב בַּפְּנִימִי וּבַחִיצוֹן מִדּֽוֹת׃
18 were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:
וְעָשׂוּי כְּרוּבִים וְתִמֹרִים וְתִֽמֹרָה בֵּין־כְּרוּב לִכְרוּב וּשְׁנַיִם פָּנִים לַכְּרֽוּב׃
19 the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.
וּפְנֵי אָדָם אֶל־הַתִּֽמֹרָה מִפּוֹ וּפְנֵי־כְפִיר אֶל־הַתִּמֹרָה מִפּוֹ עָשׂוּי אֶל־כׇּל־הַבַּיִת סָבִיב ׀ סָבִֽיב׃
20 Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.
מֵהָאָרֶץ עַד־מֵעַל הַפֶּתַח הַכְּרוּבִים וְהַתִּמֹרִים עֲשׂוּיִם וְקִיר הַהֵיכָֽל׃
21 The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.
הַהֵיכָל מְזוּזַת רְבֻעָה וּפְנֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ הַמַּרְאֶה כַּמַּרְאֶֽה׃
22 There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
הַמִּזְבֵּחַ עֵץ שָׁלוֹשׁ אַמּוֹת גָּבֹהַּ וְאׇרְכּוֹ שְׁתַּֽיִם־אַמּוֹת וּמִקְצֹֽעוֹתָיו לוֹ וְאׇרְכּוֹ וְקִירֹתָיו עֵץ וַיְדַבֵּר אֵלַי זֶה הַשֻּׁלְחָן אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃
23 Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,
וּשְׁתַּיִם דְּלָתוֹת לַהֵיכָל וְלַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
24 and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.
וּשְׁתַּיִם דְּלָתוֹת לַדְּלָתוֹת שְׁתַּיִם מֽוּסַבּוֹת דְּלָתוֹת שְׁתַּיִם לְדֶלֶת אֶחָת וּשְׁתֵּי דְלָתוֹת לָאַחֶֽרֶת׃
25 Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.
וַעֲשׂוּיָה אֲלֵיהֶן אֶל־דַּלְתוֹת הַהֵיכָל כְּרוּבִים וְתִמֹרִים כַּאֲשֶׁר עֲשׂוּיִם לַקִּירוֹת וְעָב עֵץ אֶל־פְּנֵי הָאוּלָם מֵהַחֽוּץ׃
26 There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
וְחַלּוֹנִים אֲטֻמוֹת וְתִֽמֹרִים מִפּוֹ וּמִפּוֹ אֶל־כִּתְפוֹת הָאוּלָם וְצַלְעוֹת הַבַּיִת וְהָעֻבִּֽים׃
