Ezekiel 42
WEB·Ezekiel 42
1Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
KJVThen he brought me forthH3318(H8686) into the utterH2435 courtH2691, the way towardH1870 the northH6828: and he broughtH935(H8686) me into the chamberH3957 that was over against the separate placeH1508, and which was before the buildingH1146 toward the northH6828.
2 Facing the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits.
KJVBeforeH6440 the lengthH753 of an hundredH3967 cubitsH520 was the northH6828 doorH6607, and the breadthH7341 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520.
3 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 stories.
KJVOver against the twentyH6242 cubits which were for the innerH6442 courtH2691, and over against the pavementH7531 which was for the utterH2435 courtH2691, was galleryH862 againstH6440 galleryH862 in threeH7992 stories.
4 Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
KJVAnd beforeH6440 the chambersH3957 was a walkH4109 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 breadthH7341 inwardH6442, a wayH1870 of oneH259 cubitH520; and their doorsH6607 toward the northH6828.
5 Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.
KJVNow the upperH5945 chambersH3957 were shorterH7114(H8803): for the galleriesH862 were higherH398(H8799) than theseH2007, than the lowerH8481, and than the middlemostH8484 of the buildingH1146.
6 For they were in three stories, 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.
KJVFor they were in threeH8027(H8794) stories, but had not pillarsH5982 as the pillarsH5982 of the courtsH2691: therefore the building was straitenedH680(H8738) more than the lowestH8481 and the middlemostH8484 from the groundH776.
7 The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
KJVAnd the wallH1447 that was withoutH2351 over againstH5980 the chambersH3957, towardH1870 the utterH2435 courtH2691 on the forepartH6440 of the chambersH3957, the lengthH753 thereof was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520.
8 For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits.
KJVFor the lengthH753 of the chambersH3957 that were in the utterH2435 courtH2691 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520: and, lo, beforeH6440 the templeH1964 were an hundredH3967 cubitsH520.
9 From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
KJVAnd from under these chambersH3957 was the entryH3996(H8675)H935(H8688) on the east sideH6921, as one goethH935(H8800) into themH2007 from the utterH2435 courtH2691.
10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.
KJVThe chambersH3957 were in the thicknessH7341 of the wallH1444 of the courtH2691 towardH1870 the eastH6921, over againstH6440 the separate placeH1508, and over againstH6440 the buildingH1146.
11 The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors.
KJVAnd the wayH1870 beforeH6440 them was like the appearanceH4758 of the chambersH3957 which were towardH1870 the northH6828, as long asH753 they, and as broad asH3651H7341 they: and all their goings outH4161 were both according to their fashionsH4941, and according to their doorsH6607.
12 Like the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
KJVAnd according to the doorsH6607 of the chambersH3957 that were towardH1870 the southH1864 was a doorH6607 in the headH7218 of the wayH1870, even the wayH1870 directlyH1903 beforeH6440 the wallH1448 towardH1870 the eastH6921, as one enterethH935(H8800) into them.
13 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 Yahweh 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.
KJVThen saidH559(H8799) he unto me, The northH6828 chambersH3957 and the southH1864 chambersH3957, which are beforeH6440 the separate placeH1508, they be holyH6944 chambersH3957, where the priestsH3548 that approachH7138 unto the LORDH3068 shall eatH398(H8799) the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944: there shall they layH3240(H8686) the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, and the meat offeringH4503, and the sin offeringH2403, and the trespass offeringH817; for the placeH4725 is holyH6918.
14 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.”
KJVWhen the priestsH3548 enterH935(H8800) therein, then shall they not go outH3318(H8799) of the holyH6944 place into the utterH2435 courtH2691, but there they shall layH3240(H8686) their garmentsH899 wherein they ministerH8334(H8762); for they are holyH6944; and shall putH3847(H8804)(H8675)H3847(H8799) on otherH312 garmentsH899, and shall approachH7126(H8804) to those things which are for the peopleH5971.
15 Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces toward the east, and measured it all around.
KJVNow when he had made an endH3615(H8765) of measuringH4060 the innerH6442 houseH1004, he brought me forthH3318(H8689) towardH1870 the gateH8179 whose prospectH6440 is towardH1870 the eastH6921, and measuredH4058(H8804) it round aboutH5439.
16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.
KJVHe measuredH4058(H8804) the eastH6921 sideH7307 with the measuringH4060 reedH7070, fiveH2568(H8675)H520 hundredH3967 reedsH7070, with the measuringH4060 reedH7070 round aboutH5439.
17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.
KJVHe measuredH4058(H8804) the northH6828 sideH7307, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reedsH7070, with the measuringH4060 reedH7070 round aboutH5439.
18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
KJVHe measuredH4058(H8804) the southH1864 sideH7307, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reedsH7070, with the measuringH4060 reedH7070.
19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
KJVHe turned aboutH5437(H8804) to the westH3220 sideH7307, and measuredH4058(H8804) fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reedsH7070 with the measuringH4060 reedH7070.
20 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.
KJVHe measuredH4058(H8804) it by the fourH702 sidesH7307: it had a wallH2346 round aboutH5439, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds longH753, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 broadH7341, to make a separationH914(H8687) between the sanctuaryH6944 and the profane placeH2455.
