Ezekiel 42 יְחֶזְקֵאל
Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1וַיּוֹצִאֵ֗נִי אֶל־הֶֽחָצֵר֙ הַחִ֣יצוֹנָ֔ה הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַצָּפ֑וֹן וַיְבִאֵ֣נִי אֶל־הַלִּשְׁכָּ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר נֶ֧גֶד הַגִּזְרָ֛ה וַאֲשֶֽׁר־נֶ֥גֶד הַבִּנְיָ֖ן אֶל־הַצָּפֽוֹן׃
vayyotzi'eni el-hechatzer hachitzona hadderekh derekh hatzafon vayvi'eni el-hallishka asher neged haggizra va'asher-neged habbinyan el-hatzafon
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building, toward the north,
2אֶל־פְּנֵי־אֹ֨רֶךְ֙ אַמּ֣וֹת הַמֵּאָ֔ה פֶּ֖תַח הַצָּפ֑וֹן וְהָרֹ֖חַב חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמּֽוֹת׃
el-pene-orekh ammot hamme'a petach hatzafon veharochav chamishim ammot
even to the front of the length of a hundred cubits, with the door on the north, and the breadth of fifty cubits,
3נֶ֣גֶד הָֽעֶשְׂרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר֙ לֶחָצֵ֣ר הַפְּנִימִ֔י וְנֶ֣גֶד רִֽצְפָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֶחָצֵ֣ר הַחִֽיצוֹנָ֑ה אַתִּ֥יק אֶל־פְּנֵֽי־אַתִּ֖יק בַּשְּׁלִשִֽׁים׃
neged ha'esrim asher lechatzer happenimi veneged ritzfa asher lechatzer hachitzona attik el-pene-attik bashelishim
over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court; with gallery against gallery in three stories.
4וְלִפְנֵ֨י הַלְּשָׁכ֜וֹת מַהֲלַךְ֩ עֶ֨שֶׂר אַמּ֥וֹת רֹ֨חַב֙ אֶל־הַפְּנִימִ֔ית דֶּ֖רֶךְ אַמָּ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת וּפִתְחֵיהֶ֖ם לַצָּפֽוֹן׃
velifne halleshakhot mahalakh eser ammot rochav el-happenimit derekh amma echat ufitchehem latzafon
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
5וְהַלְּשָׁכ֥וֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנֹ֖ת קְצֻר֑וֹת כִּֽי־יוֹכְל֨וּ אַתִּיקִ֜ים מֵהֵ֗נָה מֵֽהַתַּחְתֹּנ֛וֹת וּמֵהַתִּֽכֹנ֖וֹת בִּנְיָֽן׃
vehalleshakhot ha'elyonot ketzurot ki-yokhlu attikim mehena mehattachtonot umehattikhonot binyan
Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
6כִּ֤י מְשֻׁלָּשׁוֹת֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְאֵ֤ין לָהֶן֙ עַמּוּדִ֔ים כְּעַמּוּדֵ֖י הַחֲצֵר֑וֹת עַל־כֵּ֣ן נֶאֱצַ֗ל מֵהַתַּחְתּוֹנ֛וֹת וּמֵהַתִּֽיכֹנ֖וֹת מֵהָאָֽרֶץ׃
ki meshullashot henna ve'en lahen ammudim ke'ammude hachatzerot al-ken ne'etzal mehattachtonot umehattikhonot meha'aretz
For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore room was taken away from the lowest and the middlemost, in comparison with the ground.
7וְגָדֵ֤ר אֲשֶׁר־לַחוּץ֙ לְעֻמַּ֣ת הַלְּשָׁכ֔וֹת דֶּ֛רֶךְ הֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחִֽצוֹנָ֖ה אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַלְּשָׁכ֑וֹת אָרְכּ֖וֹ חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמָּֽה׃
vegader asher-lachutz le'ummat halleshakhot derekh hechatzer hachitzona el-pene halleshakhot arko chamishim amma
And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
8כִּֽי־אֹ֣רֶךְ הַלְּשָׁכ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחִֽצוֹנָ֖ה חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אַמָּ֑ה וְהִנֵּ֛ה עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַהֵיכָ֖ל מֵאָ֥ה אַמָּֽה׃
ki-orekh halleshakhot asher lechatzer hachitzona chamishim amma vehinne al-pene hahekhal me'a amma
For the length of the chambers that were toward the outer court was fifty cubits; and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
9ומתחתה לשכות [וּמִתַּ֖חַת הַלְּשָׁכ֣וֹת] הָאֵ֑לֶּה המבוא [הַמֵּבִיא֙] מֵֽהַקָּדִ֔ים בְּבֹא֣וֹ לָהֵ֔נָּה מֵֽהֶחָצֵ֖ר הַחִצֹנָֽה׃
vmtcht umittachat halleshakhot ha'elle hammevi mehakkadim bevoo lahenna mehechatzer hachitzona
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10בְּרֹ֣חַב ׀ גֶּ֣דֶר הֶחָצֵ֗ר דֶּ֧רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֛ים אֶל־פְּנֵ֧י הַגִּזְרָ֛ה וְאֶל־פְּנֵ֥י הַבִּנְיָ֖ן לְשָׁכֽוֹת׃
berochav geder hechatzer derekh hakkadim el-pene haggizra ve'el-pene habbinyan leshakhot
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers,
11וְדֶ֨רֶךְ֙ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם כְּמַרְאֵ֣ה הַלְּשָׁכ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁר֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַצָּפ֔וֹן כְּאָרְכָּ֖ן כֵּ֣ן רָחְבָּ֑ן וְכֹל֙ מוֹצָ֣אֵיהֶ֔ן וּכְמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶ֖ן וּכְפִתְחֵיהֶֽן׃
vederekh lifnehem kemar'e halleshakhot asher derekh hatzafon ke'arkan ken rachban vekhol motza'ehen ukhemishpetehen ukhefitchehen
with a way before them; like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they, with all their goings out, and according to their fashions; and as their doors,
12וּכְפִתְחֵ֣י הַלְּשָׁכ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁר֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַדָּר֔וֹם פֶּ֖תַח בְּרֹ֣אשׁ דָּ֑רֶךְ דֶּ֗רֶךְ בִּפְנֵי֙ הַגְּדֶ֣רֶת הֲגִינָ֔ה דֶּ֥רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֖ים בְּבוֹאָֽן׃
ukhefitche halleshakhot asher derekh haddarom petach berosh darekh derekh bifne haggederet hagina derekh hakkadim bevo'an
so were also the doors of the chambers that were toward the south, there was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall, toward the way from the east, as one entereth into them.
13וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י לִֽשְׁכ֨וֹת הַצָּפ֜וֹן לִֽשְׁכ֣וֹת הַדָּרוֹם֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַגִּזְרָה֒ הֵ֣נָּה ׀ לִֽשְׁכ֣וֹת הַקֹּ֗דֶשׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֹאכְלוּ־שָׁ֧ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־קְרוֹבִ֥ים לַֽיהוָ֖ה קָדְשֵׁ֣י הַקֳּדָשִׁ֑ים שָׁ֞ם יַנִּ֣יחוּ ׀ קָדְשֵׁ֣י הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים וְהַמִּנְחָה֙ וְהַחַטָּ֣את וְהָאָשָׁ֔ם כִּ֥י הַמָּק֖וֹם קָדֹֽשׁ׃

Then said he unto me: ‘The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; for the place is holy.
14בְּבֹאָ֣ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים וְלֹֽא־יֵצְא֤וּ מֵהַקֹּ֨דֶשׁ֙ אֶל־הֶחָצֵ֣ר הַחִיצוֹנָ֔ה וְשָׁ֞ם יַנִּ֧יחוּ בִגְדֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־יְשָׁרְת֥וּ בָהֶ֖ן כִּֽי־קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֑נָּה ילבשו [וְלָבְשׁוּ֙] בְּגָדִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וְקָרְב֖וּ אֶל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָעָֽם׃

When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.’
15וְכִלָּ֗ה אֶת־מִדּוֹת֙ הַבַּ֣יִת הַפְּנִימִ֔י וְהוֹצִיאַ֨נִי֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַשַּׁ֔עַר אֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּנָ֖יו דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֑ים וּמְדָד֖וֹ סָבִ֥יב ׀ סָבִֽיב׃

Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
16מָדַ֛ד ר֥וּחַ הַקָּדִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֣ה הַמִּדָּ֑ה חֲמֵשׁ־אמות [מֵא֥וֹת] קָנִ֛ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃
madad ruach hakkadim bikne hammidda chamesh-meot kanim bikne hammidda saviv
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17מָדַ֖ד ר֣וּחַ הַצָּפ֑וֹן חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֛ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃
madad ruach hatzafon chamesh-meot kanim bikne hammidda saviv
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
18אֵ֛ת ר֥וּחַ הַדָּר֖וֹם מָדָ֑ד חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּֽה׃
et ruach haddarom madad chamesh-meot kanim bikne hammidda
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19סָבַ֖ב אֶל־ר֣וּחַ הַיָּ֑ם מָדַ֛ד חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּֽה׃
savav el-ruach hayyam madad chamesh-meot kanim bikne hammidda
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20לְאַרְבַּ֨ע רוּח֜וֹת מְדָד֗וֹ ח֤וֹמָה לוֹ֙ סָבִ֣יב ׀ סָבִ֔יב אֹ֚רֶךְ חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֔וֹת וְרֹ֖חַב חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֑וֹת לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַקֹּ֖דֶשׁ לְחֹֽל׃
le'arba' ruchot medado choma lo saviv saviv orekh chamesh meot verochav chamesh meot lehavdil ben hakkodesh lechol
He measured it by the four sides; it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
