Hiezechielis Prophetæ 42

1 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius per viam ducentem ad Aquilonem, et introduxit me in gazophylacium, quod erat contra separatum ædificium, et contra ædem vergentem ad Aquilonem.

And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,

2 In facie longitudinis, centum cubitos ostii Aquilonis: et latitudinis quinquaginta cubitos,

a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,

3 contra viginti cubitos atrii interioris, et contra pavimentum stratum lapide atrii exterioris, ubi erat porticus iuncta porticui triplici.

ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.

4 Et ante gazophylacia deambulatio decem cubitorum latitudinis, ad interiora respiciens viæ cubiti unius. Et ostia eorum ad Aquilonem:

And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.

5 Ubi erant gazophylacia in superioribus humiliora: quia supportabant porticus, quæ ex illis eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis ædificii.

And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.

6 Tristega enim erant, et non habebant columnas, sicut erant columnæ atriorum: propterea eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis a terra cubitis quinquaginta.

For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.

7 Et peribolus exterior secundum gazophylacia, quæ erant in via atrii exterioris ante gazophylacia: longitudo eius quinquaginta cubitorum.

And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.

8 Quia longitudo erat gazophylaciorum atrii exterioris quinquaginta cubitorum: et longitudo ante faciem templi, centum cubitorum.

For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.

9 Et erat subter gazophylacia hæc introitus ab Oriente ingredientium in ea de atrio exteriori.

And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,

10 In latitudine periboli atrii, quod erat contra viam Orientalem, in faciem ædificii separati, et erant ante ædificium gazophylacia.

by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and [so were] the chambers.

11 Et via ante faciem eorum iuxta similitudinem gazophylaciorum, quæ erant in via Aquilonis: secundum longitudinem eorum, sic et latitudo eorum: et omnis introitus eorum, et similitudines, et ostia eorum.

And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.

12 secundum ostia gazophylaciorum, quæ erant in via respiciente ad Notum: ostium in capite viæ: quæ via erat ante vestibulum separatum per viam Orientalem ingredientibus.

[So were the measures] of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.

13 Et dixit ad me: Gazophylacia Aquilonis, et gazophylacia Austri, quæ sunt ante ædificium separatum: hæc 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 to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because 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.

None shall go in there except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw near [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.

15 Cumque complesset mensuras domus interioris, eduxit me per viam portæ, quæ respiciebat ad viam Orientalem: et mensus est eam undique per circuitum.

So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.

16 Mensus est autem contra ventum Orientalem calamo mensuræ, quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ per circuitum.

And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

17 Et mensus est contra ventum Aquilonis quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ per gyrum.

And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.

18 Et ad ventum Australem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ per circuitum.

And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

19 Et ad ventum Occidentalem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ.

And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.

20 Per quattuor ventos mensus est murum eius undique per circuitum, longitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, et latitudinem quingentorum cubitorum dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum.

The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.
