Hiezechielis Prophetæ 41
1 Et introduxit me in templum, et mensus est frontes, sex cubitos latitudinis hinc, et sex cubitos latitudinis inde, latitudinem tabernaculi.
He brought me to the nave and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.
2 Et latitudo portæ, decem cubitorum erat: et latera portæ, quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum, et latitudinem viginti cubitorum.
The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.
3 Et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portæ duos cubitos: et portam, sex cubitorum: et latitudinem portæ, septem cubitorum.
Then he went inward and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
4 Et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem eius viginti cubitorum, ante faciem templi: et dixit ad me: Hoc est Sanctum Sanctorum.
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”
5 Et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum: et latitudinem lateris quattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus.
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.
6 Latera autem, latus ad latus, bis triginta tria: et erant eminentia, quæ ingrederentur per parietem domus, in lateribus per circuitum, ut continerent, et non attingerent parietem templi.
The side rooms were in three storeys, one over another, and thirty in each story. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported and not penetrate the wall of the house.
7 Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in cœnaculum templi deferebat per gyrum: idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus: et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium.
The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.
8 Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio:
I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.
9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum: et erat interior domus in lateribus domus.
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.
10 Et inter gazophylacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique,
Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.
11 et ostium lateris ad orationem: ostium unum ad viam Aquilonis, et ostium unum ad viam Australem: et latitudinem loci ad orationem, quinque cubitorum in circuitu.
The doors of the side rooms were towards an open area that was left, one door towards the north, and another door towards the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.
12 Et ædificium, quod erat separatum, versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum. Paries autem ædificii, quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum: et longitudo eius nonaginta cubitorum.
The building that was before the separate place at the side towards the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
13 Et mensus est domus longitudinem, centum cubitorum: et quod separatum erat ædificium, et parietes eius, longitudinis centum cubitorum.
So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;
14 Latitudo autem ante faciem domus et eius, quod erat separatum contra Orientem, centum cubitorum.
also the width of the face of the temple, and of the separate place towards the east, one hundred cubits.
15 Et mensus est longitudinem ædificii contra faciem eius, quod erat separatum ad dorsum: ethecas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum: et templum interius, et vestibula atrii.
He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits from the inner temple, and the porches of the court,
16 Limina, et fenestras obliquas, et ethecas in circuitu per tres partes, contra uniuscuiusque limen, stratumque ligno per gyrum in circuitu: terra autem usque ad fenestras, et fenestræ clausæ super ostia,
the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three storeys, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
17 et usque ad domum interiorem, et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus, et forinsecus, ad mensuram.
to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.
18 Et fabrefacta cherubim et palmæ: et palma inter cherub et cherub, duasque facies habebat cherub.
It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,
19 Faciem hominis iuxta palmam ex hac parte, et faciem leonis iuxta palmam ex alia parte: expressam per omnem domum in circuitu.
so that there was the face of a man towards the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.
20 De terra usque ad superiora portæ, cherubim, et palmæ cælatæ erant in pariete templi.
Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.
21 Limen quadrangulum, et facies sanctuarii, aspectus contra aspectum.
The door posts of the nave were squared. As for the face of the nave, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.
22 Altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo: et longitudo eius duorum cubitorum: et anguli eius, et longitudo eius, et parietes eius lignei. Et locutus est ad me: Hæc est mensa coram Domino.
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
23 Et duo ostia erant in templo, et in sanctuario.
The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 Et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola, quæ in se invicem plicabantur: bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum.
The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25 Et cælata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim, et sculpturæ palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressæ erant: quam ob rem et grossiora erant ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus.
There were made on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.
26 Super quæ fenestræ obliquæ, et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in humerulis vestibuli: secundum latera domus, latitudinemque parietum.
There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. This is how the side rooms of the temple and the thresholds were arranged.
