Hiezechielis Prophetæ 41
1 et introduxit me in templum et mensus est frontes sex cubitos latitudinis hinc et sex cubitos latitudinis inde latitudinem tabernaculi
Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.
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 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.
3 et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portae duos cubitos et portam sex cubitorum et latitudinem portae septem cubitorum
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.
4 et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum et latitudinem viginti cubitorum ante faciem templi et dixit ad me hoc est sanctum sanctorum
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.”
5 et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum et latitudinem lateris quattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus
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.
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 adtingerent parietem templi
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.
7 et platea erat in rotundum ascendens sursum per cocleam et in cenaculum templi deferebat per gyrum idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium
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.
8 et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio
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.
9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum et interior domus in lateribus domus
The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple
10 et inter gazofilacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique
and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.
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 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.
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
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.
13 et mensus est domus longitudinem centum cubitorum et quod separatum erat aedificium et parietes eius longitudinis centum cubitorum
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.
14 latitudo autem ante faciem domus et eius quod erat separatum contra orientem centum cubitorum
The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
15 et mensus est longitudinem aedificii contra faciem eius quod erat separatum ad dorsum ekthetas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum et templum interius et vestibula atrii
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,
16 limina et fenestras obliquas et ekthetas in circuitu per tres partes contra uniuscuiusque limen stratumque ligno per gyrum in circuitu terra autem usque ad fenestras et fenestrae clausae super ostia
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.
17 et usque ad domum interiorem et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus et forinsecus ad mensuram
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,
18 et fabrefacta cherubin et palmae et palma inter cherub et cherub duasque facies habebat cherub
were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each 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
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.
20 de terra usque ad superiora portae cherubin et palmae celatae erant in pariete templi
Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.
21 limen quadrangulum et facies sanctuarii aspectus contra aspectum
The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.
22 altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo et longitudo eius duo cubitorum et anguli eius et longitudo eius et parietes eius lignei et locutus est ad me haec est mensa coram Domino
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.”
23 et duo ostia erant in templo et in sanctuario
Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary 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
and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.
25 et celata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubin et scalptura palmarum sicut in parietibus quoque expressa erat quam ob rem erant et grossiora ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus
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.
26 super quae fenestrae obliquae et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in umerulis vestibuli secundum latera domus latitudinemque parietum
There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
