Hiezechielis Prophetæ 42
1 et eduxit me in atrium exterius per viam ducentem ad aquilonem et eduxit me in gazofilacium quod erat contra separatum aedificium et contra aedem vergentem ad aquilonem
Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way towards the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building towards the north.
2 in facie longitudinis centum cubitos ostii aquilonis et latitudinis quinquaginta cubitos
Facing the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the width 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 belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the three storeys.
4 et ante gazofilacia deambulatio decem cubitorum latitudinis ad interiora respiciens viae cubiti unius et ostia earum ad aquilonem
Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were towards the north.
5 ubi erant gazofilacia in superioribus humiliora quia subportabant porticus quae ex illis eminebant de inferioribus et de mediis aedificii
Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.
6 tristega enim erant et non habebant columnas sicut erant columnae atriorum propterea eminebant de inferioribus et de mediis a terra
For they were in three storeys, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
7 et peribolus exterior secundum gazofilacia quae erant in via atrii exterioris ante gazofilacia longitudo eius quinquaginta cubitorum
The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, towards the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
8 quia longitudo erat gazofilaciorum atrii exterioris quinquaginta cubitorum et longitudo ante faciem templi centum cubitorum
For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits.
9 et erat subter gazofilacia haec introitus ab oriente ingredientium in ea de atrio exteriori
From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
10 in latitudine periboli atrii quod erat contra viam orientalem in facie aedificii separati et erant ante aedificium gazofilacia
In the thickness of the wall of the court towards the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.
11 et via ante faciem eorum iuxta similitudinem gazofilaciorum quae erant in via aquilonis secundum longitudinem eorum sic et latitudo eorum et omnis introitus eorum et similitudines et ostia eorum
The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were towards the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors.
12 secundum ostia gazofilaciorum quae erant in via respiciente ad notum ostium in capite viae quae via erat ante vestibulum separatum per viam orientalem ingredientibus
Like the doors of the rooms that were towards the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one enters into them.
13 et dixit ad me gazofilacia aquilonis et gazofilacia austri quae sunt ante aedificium separatum haec sunt gazofilacia sancta in quibus vescuntur sacerdotes qui adpropinquant ad Dominum in sancta sanctorum ibi ponent sancta sanctorum et oblationem pro peccato et pro delicto locus enim sanctus est
Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, 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 in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.”
15 cumque conplesset 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 measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces towards the east, and measured it all around.
16 mensus autem est contra ventum orientalem calamo mensurae quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.
17 et mensus est contra ventum aquilonem quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per gyrum
He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.
18 et ad ventum australem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum
He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
19 et ad ventum occidentalem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20 per quattuor ventos mensus est illud murum eius undique per circuitum longitudine quingentorum cubitorum et latitudine quingentorum cubitorum dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum
He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred cubits, and the width five hundred cubits, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
