Ezekiel 41

vayevi'eni el-hahekhal vayyamod et-ha'elim shesh-ammot rokhav mippo veshesh-ammot-rokhav mippo rokhav ha'ohel

He then led me into the great hall. He measured the jambs, 6 cubits on either side; such was the depth of each jamb.

verokhav happetakh eser ammot vekhitfot happetakh khamesh ammot mippo vekhamesh ammot mippo vayyamod orko arba'im ammah verokhav esrim ammah

The entrance was 10 cubits wide, and the flanking walls of the entrance were each 5 cubits wide. Next he measured the depth [of the hall], 40 cubits, and the width, 20 cubits.

uva lifnimah vayyamod el-happetakh shetayim ammot vehappetakh shesh ammot verokhav happetakh sheva ammot

And then he entered the inner room. He measured each jamb of the entrance, 2 cubits [deep]; the entrance itself, 6 cubits across; and the width of [the flanking wall on either side of] the entrance, 7 cubits.

vayyamod et-orko esrim ammah verokhav esrim ammah el-pene hahekhal vayyomer elay zeh qodesh haqqodashim

Then he measured the depth, 20 cubits; and the width at the inner end of the great hall was also 20 cubits. And he said to me, “This is the Holy of Holies.”

vayyamod qir-habbayit shesh ammot verokhav hatsela arba ammot saviv saviv labbayit saviv

Then he measured the wall of the temple. [It was] 6 cubits [thick] on every side of the temple, and the side-chamber measured 4 cubits [across].

vehatsela'ot tsela el-tsela shalosh usheloshim pe'amim uva'ot baqqir asher-labbayit latsela'ot saviv saviv lihyot akhuzim velo-yihyu akhuzim beqir habbayit

The side chambers were arranged one above the other, in 33 sections. All around, there were projections in the temple wall to serve the side chambers as supports, so that [their] supports should not be the temple wall itself.

verakhavah venasevah lemalah lemalah latsela'ot ki musav-habbayit lemalah lemalah saviv saviv labbayit al-ken rokhav-labbayit lema'elah vekhen hattakhtonah ya'aleh al-ha'elyonah lattikhonah

The winding passage of the side chambers widened from story to story; and since the structure was furnished all over with winding passages from story to story, the structure itself became wider from story to story. It was by this means that one ascended from the bottom story to the top one by way of the middle one.

vera'iti labbayit govah saviv saviv (mysdvt) [musedot] hatsela'ot melo haqqaneh shesh ammot atsilah

I observed that the temple was surrounded by a raised pavement—the foundations of the side chambers; its elevation was a rod’s length, or 6 cubits.

rokhav haqqir asher-latsela el-hakhuts khamesh ammot va'asher munnakh bet tsela'ot asher labbayit

The outer wall of the side chamber was 5 cubits thick, and that which served as a walk between the Temple’s side chambers

uven halleshakhot rokhav esrim ammah saviv labbayit saviv saviv

and the chamber complexes was 20 cubits wide all around the temple.

ufetakh hatsela lammunnakh petakh ekhad derekh hatsafon ufetakh ekhad laddarom verokhav meqom hammunnakh khamesh ammot saviv saviv

Of entrances to the side chambers giving on the walk, there was one entrance on the north side and one entrance on the south side; and the space of the walk was 5 cubits thick all around.

vehabbinyan asher el-pene haggizrah pe'at derekh-hayyam rokhav shivim ammah veqir habbinyan khamesh-ammot rokhav saviv saviv ve'orko tishim ammah

And the structure that fronted on the vacant space at the [Temple’s] western end was 70 cubits deep; the walls of the structure were 5 cubits thick on every side; and it was 90 cubits wide.

umadad et-habbayit orekh me'ah ammah vehaggizrah vehabbinyah veqiroteha orekh me'ah ammah

He measured the [total] depth of the temple, 100 cubits; and the depth of the vacant space and of the structure, with its walls, also came to 100 cubits.

verokhav pene habbayit vehaggizrah laqqadim me'ah ammah

The front side of the temple, like the vacant space on the east, was 100 cubits wide.

umadad orekh-habbinyan el-pene haggizrah asher al-akhareha (vtvqyh) [ve'attiqeha] mippo umippo me'ah ammah vehahekhal happenimi ve'ulamme hekhatser

He also measured the width of the structure facing the vacant space in the rear, inclusive of its ledges, 100 cubits. Both the great hall inside and the portico next to the court—

hassippim vehakhallonim ha'atumot veha'attiqim saviv lishloshtam neged hassaf sekhif ets saviv saviv veha'arets ad-hakhallonot vehakhallonot mekhussot

the thresholds—and the windows with frames and the ledges at the threshold, all over the three parts of each, were completely overlaid with wood. There was wainscoting from the floor to the windows, including the window [frame]s

al-me'al happetakh ve'ad-habbayit happenimi velakhuts ve'el-kol-haqqir saviv saviv bappenimi uvakhitson middot

and extending above the openings, both in the inner temple and outside. And all over the wall, both in the inner one and in the outer, ran a pattern.

ve'asuy keruvim vetimorim vetimorah ben-keruv likhruv ushenayim panim lakkeruv

It consisted of cherubs and palm trees, with a palm tree between every two cherubs. Each cherub had two faces:

ufene adam el-hattimorah mippo ufene-khefir el-hattimorah mippo asuy el-kol-habbayit saviv saviv

a human face turned toward the palm tree on one side and a lion’s face turned toward the palm tree on the other side. This was repeated all over the temple;

meha'arets ad-me'al happetakh hakkeruvim vehattimorim asuyim veqir haׄheׄkhaׄlׄ

the cherubs and the palm trees were carved on the wall from the floor to above the openings. As regards the great hall,

hahekhal mezuzat revu'ah ufene haqqodesh hammareh kammareh

the great hall had four doorposts; and before the Shrine was something resembling

hammizbeakh ets shalosh ammot gavoah ve'orko shetayim-ammot umiqtso'otayw lo ve'orko veqirotayw ets vayedabber elay zeh hashulkhan asher lifne Adonai

a wooden altar 3 cubits high and 2 cubits long and having inner corners; and its length and its walls were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the table that stands before GOD.”

ushetayim delatot lahekhal velaqqodesh

The great hall had a double door, and the Shrine likewise had

ushetayim delatot laddelatot shetayim musabbot delatot shetayim ledelet ekhat ushete delatot la'akheret

a double door, and each door had two swinging leaves: two for the one door and two such leaves for the other.

va'asuyah alehen el-daltot hahekhal keruvim vetimorim ka'asher asuyim laqqirot ve'av ets el-pene ha'ulam mehakhuts

Cherubs and palm trees were carved on these—on the doors of the hall—just as they were carved on the walls; and there was a lattice of wood outside in front of the portico.

vekhallonim atumot vetimorim mippo umippo el-kitfot ha'ulam vetsalot habbayit veha'ubbim

And there were windows with frames and palm trees on the flanking walls of the portico on either side [of the entrance] and [on] the Temple’s side chambers and [on] the lattices.
