Hiezechielis Prophetæ 42
1 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius per viam ducentem ad Aquilonem, et introduxit me in gazophylacium, quod erat contra separatum aedificium, et contra aedem vergentem ad Aquilonem.
And he led me forth into the outer court, on the way to the north side; and he brought me into the [row of] chambers that was opposite the main wing, and which was opposite the building toward the north;
2 In facie longitudinis, centum cubitos ostii Aquilonis: et latitudinis quinquaginta cubitos,
On the front side the length [of which] was a hundred cubits, [up to] the north door, while the breadth was fifty cubits.
3 contra viginti cubitos atrii interioris, et contra pavimentum stratum lapide atrii exterioris, ubi erat porticus iuncta porticui triplici.
Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was corner-pillar before corner-pillar in the three stories.
4 Et ante gazophylacia deambulatio decem cubitorum latitudinis, ad interiora respiciens viae cubiti unius. Et ostia eorum ad Aquilonem:
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits in breadth toward the inner house, a way of one cubit [in width]; and their doors were toward the north.
5 Ubi erant gazophylacia in superioribus humiliora: quia supportabant porticus, quae ex illis eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis aedificii.
Now the upper chambers were shorter [for the corner-pillar took away part of the space from them] than the lowest and than the middle chambers of the building.
6 Tristega enim erant, et non habebant columnas, sicut erant columnae atriorum: propterea eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis a terra cubitis quinquaginta.
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones [as one ascended] from the ground.
7 Et peribolus exterior secundum gazophylacia, quae erant in via atrii exterioris ante gazophylacia: longitudo eius quinquaginta cubitorum.
And the wall that was without alongside the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was in its length fifty cubits.
8 Quia longitudo erat gazophylaciorum atrii exterioris quinquaginta cubitorum: et longitudo ante faciem templi, centum cubitorum.
For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and lo, [the whole space] in front of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 Et erat subter gazophylacia haec introitus ab Oriente ingredientium in ea de atrio exteriori.
And beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10 In latitudine periboli atrii, quod erat contra viam Orientalem, in faciem aedificii separati, et erant ante aedificium gazophylacia.
On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing, and before the building, were chambers.
11 Et via ante faciem eorum iuxta similitudinem gazophylaciorum, quae erant in via Aquilonis: secundum longitudinem eorum, sic et latitudo eorum: et omnis introitus eorum, et similitudines, et ostia eorum.
And the way before them was of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side, of the same length and the same breadth; and all their means of egress, and their arrangement, and their doors were of the like manner.
12 secundum ostia gazophylaciorum, quae erant in via respiciente ad Notum: ostium in capite viae: quae via erat ante vestibulum separatum per viam Orientalem ingredientibus.
And so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side, a door being on the head of the way, of the way directly before the wall on the east side, as one entereth into them.
13 Et dixit ad me: Gazophylacia Aquilonis, et gazophylacia Austri, quae sunt ante aedificium separatum: haec sunt gazophylacia sancta: in quibus vescuntur sacerdotes, qui appropinquant ad Dominum in sancta sanctorum: ibi ponent sancta sanctorum, et oblationem pro peccato, et pro delicto: locus enim sanctus est.
And he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing, —these are the holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, namely, the meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.
14 Cum autem ingressi fuerint sacerdotes, non egredientur de sanctis in atrium exterius: et ibi reponent vestimenta sua, in quibus ministrant, quia sancta sunt: vestienturque vestimentis aliis, et sic procedent ad populum.
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall then approach to [the court] which is for the people.
15 Cumque complesset mensuras domus interioris, eduxit me per viam portae, quae respiciebat ad viam Orientalem: et mensus est eam undique per circuitum.
Now when he had finished the measurings of the inner house, he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction, and measured it all round about.
16 Mensus est autem contra ventum Orientalem calamo mensurae, quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum.
He measured the east side with the measuring-rod, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
17 Et mensus est contra ventum Aquilonis quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per gyrum.
He measured the north aide, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
18 Et ad ventum Australem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum.
The south side he measured, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod.
19 Et ad ventum Occidentalem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae.
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred rods with the measuring-rod.
20 Per quattuor ventos mensus est murum eius undique per circuitum, longitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, et latitudinem quingentorum cubitorum dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum.
On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about, five hundred rods in length, and in breadth five hundred, to make a separation between the holy place and the profane.
