Hiezechielis Prophetæ 41
1 Et introduxit me in templum, et mensus est frontes, sex cubitos latitudinis hinc, et sex cubitos latitudinis inde, latitudinem tabernaculi.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
2 Et latitudo portae, decem cubitorum erat: et latera portae, quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum, et latitudinem viginti cubitorum.
The entrance was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide.
3 Et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portae duos cubitos: et portam, sex cubitorum: et latitudinem portae, septem cubitorum.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
4 Et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem eius viginti cubitorum, ante faciem templi: et dixit ad me: Hoc est sanctum sanctorum.
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very 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 temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) wide.
6 Latera autem, latus ad latus, bis triginta tria: et erant eminentia, quae ingrederentur per parietem domus, in lateribus per circuitum, ut continerent, et non attingerent parietem templi.
There were three levels of rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
7 Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in coenaculum templi deferebat per gyrum: idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus: et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest level.
8 Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio:
I saw that there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum: et erat interior domus in lateribus domus.
The outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 Et inter gazophylacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique,
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
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.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
12 Et aedificium, quod erat separatum, versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum. paries autem aedificii, quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum: et longitudo eius nonaginta cubitorum.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick.
13 Et mensus est domus longitudinem, centum cubitorum: et quod separatum erat aedificium, et parietes eius, longitudinis centum cubitorum.
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Latitudo autem ante faciem domus: et eius, quod erat separatum contra Orientem, centum cubitorum.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
15 Et mensus est longitudinem aedificii contra faciem eius, quod erat separatum ad dorsum: ethecas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum: et templum interius, et vestibula atrii.
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
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 fenestrae clausae super ostia.
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
17 Et usque ad domum interiorem, et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus, et forinsecus, ad mensuram.
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
18 Et fabrefacta cherubim et palmae: et palma inter cherub et cherub, duasque facies habebat cherub.
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
19 Faciem hominis iuxta palmam ex hac parte, et faciem leonis iuxta palmam ex alia parte: expressam per omnem domum in circuitu.
20 De terra usque ad superiora portae, cherubim, et palmae caelatae erant in pariete templi.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
21 Limen quadrangulum, et facies sanctuarii, aspectus contra aspectum.
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
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: Haec est mensa coram Domino.
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 Et duo ostia erant in templo, et in sanctuario.
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.
24 Et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola, quae in se invicem plicabantur: bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum.
Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
25 Et caelata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim, et sculptura palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressa erant: quam ob rem et grossiora erant ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
26 Super quae fenestrae obliquae, et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in humerulis vestibuli: secundum latera domus, latitudinemque parietum.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
