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 temple's holy place and measured the doorposts—six cubits in width on either side.
2 Et latitudo portæ, decem cubitorum erat: et latera portæ, quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum, et latitudinem viginti cubitorum.
The width of the doorway was ten cubits; the wall on each side was five cubits in length. Then the man measured the dimensions of the holy place—forty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width.
3 Et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portæ duos cubitos: et portam, sex cubitorum: et latitudinem portæ, septem cubitorum.
Then the man went into the very holy place and measured the posts of the doorway—two cubits, and the doorway was six cubits in width. The walls on either side were seven cubits in width.
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 room's length—twenty cubits. Its width—twenty cubits to the front of the temple hall. Then 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.
Then the man measured the wall of the house—it was six cubits thick. The width of each side room around the house was four cubits in width.
6 Latera autem, latus ad latus, bis triginta tria: et erant eminentia, quæ ingrederentur per parietem domus, in lateribus per circuitum, ut continerent, et non attingerent parietem templi.
There were side rooms on three levels, one room above another, thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges around the wall of the house, to support all of the side rooms, for there was no support put in the wall of the house.
7 Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in cœnaculum templi deferebat per gyrum: idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus: et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium.
So the side rooms widened and went around going up, for the house went around higher and higher all around; the rooms widened as the house went up, and a stairway went up to the highest level, through the middle level.
8 Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio:
Then I saw a raised part all around the house, the foundation for the side chambers; it measured a full stick in height—six cubits.
9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum: et erat interior domus in lateribus domus.
The width of the wall of the side rooms on the outside was five cubits. There was an open space to the outside of these rooms in the sanctuary.
10 Et inter gazophylacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique,
On the other side of this open space were the priests' outer side rooms; this space was twenty cubits in width all around the sanctuary.
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 doors into the side rooms from another open space—one doorway was on the north side, and the other on the south side. The width of this open area was five cubits all around.
12 Et ædificium, quod erat separatum, versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum. Paries autem ædificii, quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum: et longitudo eius nonaginta cubitorum.
The building that faced the courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits in width. Its wall measured five cubits thick all around, and it was ninety cubits in length.
13 Et mensus est domus longitudinem, centum cubitorum: et quod separatum erat ædificium, et parietes eius, longitudinis centum cubitorum.
Then the man measured the sanctuary—one hundred cubits in length. The separated building, its wall, and the courtyard also measured one hundred cubits in length.
14 Latitudo autem ante faciem domus et eius, quod erat separatum contra Orientem, centum cubitorum.
The width of the front of the courtyard in front of the sanctuary was also one hundred cubits.
15 Et mensus est longitudinem ædificii contra faciem eius, quod erat separatum ad dorsum: ethecas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum: et templum interius, et vestibula atrii.
Then the man measured the length of the building behind the sanctuary, to its west, and the galleries on either side—one hundred cubits. The holy place and the portico,
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 fenestræ clausæ super ostia,
the inner walls and the windows, including the narrow windows, and the galleries all around on three levels, were all paneled in wood.
17 et usque ad domum interiorem, et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus, et forinsecus, ad mensuram.
Above the entryway to the inner sanctuary and spaced along the walls there was a measured pattern.
18 Et fabrefacta cherubim et palmæ: et palma inter cherub et cherub, duasque facies habebat cherub.
It was decorated with cherubim and palm trees; with a palm tree between each cherub, and 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 looked toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward a palm tree on the other side. They were carved all around the entire house.
20 De terra usque ad superiora portæ, cherubim, et palmæ cælatæ erant in pariete templi.
From the ground to above the doorway, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the outer wall of the house.
21 Limen quadrangulum, et facies sanctuarii, aspectus contra aspectum.
The gate posts of the holy place were square. Their appearance was like the appearance of
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: Hæc est mensa coram Domino.
the wooden altar in front of the holy place, which was three cubits high and two cubits in length on each side. Its corner posts, base, and frame were made of wood. Then the man said to me, “This is the table that stands before Yahweh.”
23 Et duo ostia erant in templo, et in sanctuario.
There were double doors for the holy place and the most holy place.
24 Et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola, quæ in se invicem plicabantur: bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum.
These doors had two hinged door panels each, two panels for one door and two panels for the other.
25 Et cælata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim, et sculpturæ palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressæ erant: quam ob rem et grossiora erant ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus.
Carved on them—on the doors of the holy place—were cherubim and palm trees just as the walls were decorated, and there was a wooden roof over the portico at the front.
26 Super quæ fenestræ obliquæ, et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in humerulis vestibuli: secundum latera domus, latitudinemque parietum.
There were narrow windows and palm trees on either side of the portico. These were the side rooms of the house, and they also had overhanging roofs.
