Hiezechielis Prophetæ 40
1 In vigesimo quinto anno transmigrationis nostrae, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas: in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini, et adduxit me illuc.
In the twenty-fifth year of our removal, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after which the city was struck, on this very same day a hand of YHWH has been on me, and He brings me in there;
2 In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israel, et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis: super quem erat quasi aedificium civitatis vergentis ad Austrum.
in visions of God He has brought me into the land of Israel, and causes me to rest on a very high mountain, and on it [is] as the frame of a city from the south.
3 Et introduxit me illuc: et ecce vir, cuius erat species quasi species aeris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius, et calamus mensurae in manu eius: stabat autem in porta.
And He brings me in there, and behold, a man, his appearance as the appearance of bronze, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate,
4 Et locutus est ad me idem vir: Fili hominis vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi, et pone cor tuum in omnia, quae ego ostendam tibi: quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc: annuncia omnia, quae tu vides, domui Israel.
and the man speaks to me: “Son of man, see with your eyes, And hear with your ears, And set your heart to all that I am showing you, For in order to show [it] you, You have been brought in here, Declare all that you are seeing to the house of Israel.”
5 Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique, et in manu viri calamus mensurae sex cubitorum, et palmo: et mensus est latitudinem aedificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
And behold, a wall all around on the outside of the house, and a measuring-reed in the hand of the man, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measures the breadth of the building—one reed, and the height—one reed.
6 Et venit ad portam quae respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus eius: et mensus est limen portae calamo uno latitudinem, id est, limen unum calamo uno in latitudine:
And he comes to the gate whose front [is] eastward, and he goes up by its steps, and he measures the threshold of the gate—one reed broad, even one threshold—one reed broad,
7 et thalamum uno calamo in longum, et uno calamo in latum: et inter thalamos, quinque cubitos:
and the little chamber—one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers—five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within—one reed.
8 et limen portae iuxta vestibulum portae intrinsecus, calamo uno.
And he measures the porch of the gate from within—one reed,
9 Et mensus est vestibulum portae octo cubitorum, et frontem eius duobus cubitis: vestibulum autem portae erat intrinsecus.
and he measures the porch of the gate—eight cubits, and its posts—two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within,
10 Porro thalami portae ad viam Orientalem, tres hinc et tres inde: mensura una trium, et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte.
and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side and three on that side; the three of them—one measure, and the posts—one measure, on this side and on that side.
11 Et mensus est latitudinem liminis portae, decem cubitorum: et longitudinem portae, tredecim cubitorum:
And he measures the breadth of the opening of the gate—ten cubits, the length of the gate—thirteen cubits;
12 Et marginem ante thalamos cubiti unius: et cubitus unus finis utrimque: thalami autem, sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.
and a border before the little chambers—one cubit, and one cubit [is] the border on this side, and the little chamber—six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13 Et mensus est portam a tecto thalami, usque ad tectum eius, latitudinem vigintiquinque cubitorum: ostium contra ostium.
And he measures the gate from the roof of the [one] little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth—twenty-five cubits, opening opposite opening.
14 Et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos: et ad frontem atrium portae undique per circuitum.
And he makes the posts of sixty cubits, even to the post of the court, the gate all around;
15 Et ante faciem portae, quae pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portae interioris, quinquaginta cubitos.
and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate—fifty cubits;
16 Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis, et in frontibus eorum, quae erant intra portam undique per circuitum: similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestrae per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.
and narrow windows [are] in the little chambers, and in their posts on the inside of the gate all around—and so to the arches—and windows all around on the inside, and palm-trees [are] on the post.
17 Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius, et ecce gazophylacia, et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum: triginta gazophylacia in circuitu pavimenti.
And he brings me into the outer court, and behold, chambers and a pavement made for the court all around—thirty chambers on the pavement—
18 Et pavimentum in fronte portarum secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius.
and the pavement to the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, [is] the lower pavement;
19 Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portae inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus, centum cubitos ad Orientem, et ad Aquilonem.
and he measures the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside—one hundred cubits, eastward and northward.
20 Portam quoque, quae respiciebat viam Aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est tam in longitudine, quam in latitudine.
As for the gate of the outer court whose front [is] northward, he has measured its length and its breadth;
21 Et thalamos eius tres hinc, et tres inde: et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portae prioris, quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem eius, et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum.
and its little chambers, three on this side and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, its length [is] fifty cubits, and breadth [is] twenty-five by the cubit;
22 Fenestrae autem eius, et vestibulum, et sculpturae secundum mensuram portae, quae respiciebat ad Orientem: et septem graduum erat ascensus eius, et vestibulum ante eam.
and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees [are] according to the measure of the gate whose face [is] eastward, and they go up on it by seven steps, and its arches [are] before them.
23 Et porta atrii interioris contra portam Aquilonis, et Orientalem: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.
And the gate of the inner court [is] opposite the gate at the north and at the east; and he measures from gate to gate—one hundred cubits.
24 Et eduxit me ad viam australem, et ecce porta, quae respiciebat ad Austrum: et mensus est frontem eius, et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores.
And he causes me to go southward, and behold, a gate southward, and he has measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements;
25 Et fenestras eius, et vestibula in circuitu, sicut fenestras ceteras: quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
and windows [are] in it and in its arches all around, like these windows, the length—fifty cubits, and the breadth—twenty-five cubits;
26 Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam: et vestibulum ante fores eius: et caelatae palmae erant, una hinc, et altera inde in fronte eius.
and seven steps [are] its ascent, and its arches [are] before them, and palm-trees [are] in it, one on this side and one on that side, on its posts;
27 Et porta atrii interioris in via australi: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi, centum cubitos.

28 Et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem: et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores.
And he brings me into the inner court by the south gate, and he measures the south gate according to these measurements;
29 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius eisdem mensuris: et fenestras eius, et vestibulum eius in circuitu quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis, et latitudinis vigintiquinque cubitos.
and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches [are] according to these measurements, and windows [are] in it and in its arches all around; the length—fifty cubits, and the breadth—twenty-five cubits.
30 Et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum, et latitudine quinque cubitorum.
As for the arches all around, the length—twenty-five cubits, and the breadth—five cubits;
31 Et vestibulum eius ad atrium exterius, et palmas eius in fronte: et octo gradus erant, quibus ascendebatur per eam.

32 Et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem: et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores.
And he brings me into the inner court eastward, and he measures the gate according to these measurements;
33 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius sicut supra: et fenestras eius, et vestibula eius in circuitu, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.

And the chamber and its opening [is] by the posts of the gates, there they purge the burnt-offering.
39 Et in vestibulo portae, duae mensae hinc, et duae mensae inde: ut immoletur super eas holocaustum, et pro peccato, et pro delicto.
And in the porch of the gate [are] two tables on this side and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering;
40 Et ad latus exterius, quod ascendit ad ostium portae, quae pergit ad Aquilonem, duae mensae: et ad latus alterum ante vestibulum portae, duae mensae.
and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, [are] two tables; and at the other side that [is] at the porch of the gate, [are] two tables;

four tables [are] on this side and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter.
42 Quattuor autem mensae ad holocaustum, de lapidibus quadris extructae: longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et altitudine cubiti unius: super quas ponant vasa, in quibus immolatur holocaustum, et victima.
And the four tables for burnt-offering [are] of hewn stone: the length—one cubit and a half, and the breadth—one cubit and a half, and the height—one cubit; they place on them the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
43 Et labia earum palmi unius, reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum: super mensas autem carnes oblationis.

44 Et extra portam interiorem gazophylacia cantorum in atrio interiori, quod erat in latere portae respicientis ad Aquilonem: et facies eorum contra viam Australem, una ex latere portae Orientalis, quae respiciebat ad viam Aquilonis.
And on the outside of the inner gate [are] chambers of the singers, in the inner court, that [are] at the side of the north gate, and their fronts [are] southward, one at the side of the east gate [with] front northward.

And he speaks to me: “This chamber, whose front [is] southward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the house;
