Ezekiel

Chapter 42
1
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּotzi'e֗niy 'el-heֽchatzer֙ hachi֣ytzona֔h hadּe֖reke dּe֣reke hatzּap֑on vayebi'e֣niy 'el-halּishshekּa֗h 'ashshe֨r ne֧ged hagּizera֛h va'ashsheֽr-ne֥ged habּineya֖n 'el-hatzּapֽon׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.

וַיּוֹצִאֵ֗נִי אֶל־הֶֽחָצֵר֙ הַחִ֣יצוֹנָ֔ה הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַצָּפ֑וֹן וַיְבִאֵ֣נִי אֶל־הַלִּשְׁכָּ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר נֶ֧גֶד הַגִּזְרָ֛ה וַאֲשֶֽׁר־נֶ֥גֶד הַבִּנְיָ֖ן אֶל־הַצָּפֽוֹן׃

2
Phonetic (Hebrew): el-pּeney-'o֨reke֙ 'amּ֣ot hamּe'a֔h pּe֖tach hatzּap֑on veharo֖chab chamishshּi֥ym 'amּֽot׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

אֶל־פְּנֵי־אֹ֨רֶךְ֙ אַמּ֣וֹת הַמֵּאָ֔ה פֶּ֖תַח הַצָּפ֑וֹן וְהָרֹ֖חַב חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמּֽוֹת׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): ne֣ged haֽ'eshseri֗ym 'ashsher֙ lechatze֣r hapּeniymi֔y vene֣ged riֽtzepa֔h 'ashshe֖r lechatze֣r hachiֽytzona֑h 'atּi֥yq 'el-pּeneֽy-'atּi֖yq bּashshּelishshiֽym׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

נֶ֣גֶד הָֽעֶשְׂרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר֙ לֶחָצֵ֣ר הַפְּנִימִ֔י וְנֶ֣גֶד רִֽצְפָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֶחָצֵ֣ר הַחִֽיצוֹנָ֑ה אַתִּ֥יק אֶל־פְּנֵֽי־אַתִּ֖יק בַּשְּׁלִשִֽׁים׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): velipene֨y halּeshshak֜ot mahalake֩ 'e֨shser 'amּ֥ot ro֨chab֙ 'el-hapּeniymi֔yt dּe֖reke 'amּa֣h 'echa֑t upitecheyhe֖m latzּapֽon׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

וְלִפְנֵ֨י הַלְּשָׁכ֜וֹת מַהֲלַךְ֩ עֶ֨שֶׂר אַמּ֥וֹת רֹ֨חַב֙ אֶל־הַפְּנִימִ֔ית דֶּ֖רֶךְ אַמָּ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת וּפִתְחֵיהֶ֖ם לַצָּפֽוֹן׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): vehalּeshshak֥ot ha'eleyono֖t qetzur֑ot kּiֽy-yokel֨u 'atּiyqi֜ym mehe֗nah meֽhatּachetּon֛ot umehatּiֽkon֖ot bּineyaֽn׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.

וְהַלְּשָׁכ֥וֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנֹ֖ת קְצֻר֑וֹת כִּֽי־יוֹכְל֨וּ אַתִּיקִ֜ים מֵהֵ֗נָה מֵֽהַתַּחְתֹּנ֛וֹת וּמֵהַתִּֽכֹנ֖וֹת בִּנְיָֽן׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּi֤y meshshulּashshot֙ he֔nּah ve'e֤yn lahen֙ 'amּudi֔ym kּe'amּude֖y hachatzer֑ot 'al-kּe֣n ne'etza֗l mehatּachetּon֛ot umehatּiֽykon֖ot meha'aֽretz׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

כִּ֤י מְשֻׁלָּשׁוֹת֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְאֵ֤ין לָהֶן֙ עַמּוּדִ֔ים כְּעַמּוּדֵ֖י הַחֲצֵר֑וֹת עַל־כֵּ֣ן נֶאֱצַ֗ל מֵהַתַּחְתּוֹנ֛וֹת וּמֵהַתִּֽיכֹנ֖וֹת מֵהָאָֽרֶץ׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): vegade֤r 'ashsher-lachutz֙ le'umּa֣t halּeshshak֔ot dּe֛reke hechatze֥r hachiֽtzona֖h 'el-pּene֣y halּeshshak֑ot 'arekּ֖o chamishshּi֥ym 'amּaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

וְגָדֵ֤ר אֲשֶׁר־לַחוּץ֙ לְעֻמַּ֣ת הַלְּשָׁכ֔וֹת דֶּ֛רֶךְ הֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחִֽצוֹנָ֖ה אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַלְּשָׁכ֑וֹת אָרְכּ֖וֹ חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמָּֽה׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּiֽy-'o֣reke halּeshshak֗ot 'ashshe֛r lechatze֥r hachiֽtzona֖h chamishshּi֣ym 'amּa֑h vehinּe֛h 'al-pּene֥y haheyka֖l me'a֥h 'amּaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.

כִּֽי־אֹ֣רֶךְ הַלְּשָׁכ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחִֽצוֹנָ֖ה חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אַמָּ֑ה וְהִנֵּ֛ה עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַהֵיכָ֖ל מֵאָ֥ה אַמָּֽה׃

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): vmtchth lshkvt umitּa֖chat halּeshshak֣ot ha'e֑lּeh hmbv hamּebiy'֙ meֽhaqּadi֔ym bּebo'֣o lahe֔nּah meֽhechatze֖r hachitzonaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the utter court.

ומתחתה לשכות וּמִתַּ֖חַת הַלְּשָׁכ֣וֹת הָאֵ֑לֶּה המבוא הַמֵּבִיא֙ מֵֽהַקָּדִ֔ים בְּבֹא֣וֹ לָהֵ֔נָּה מֵֽהֶחָצֵ֖ר הַחִצֹנָֽה׃

10
Phonetic (Hebrew): bּero֣chab ׀ gּe֣der hechatze֗r dּe֧reke haqּadi֛ym 'el-pּene֧y hagּizera֛h ve'el-pּene֥y habּineya֖n leshshakֽot׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.

בְּרֹ֣חַב ׀ גֶּ֣דֶר הֶחָצֵ֗ר דֶּ֧רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֛ים אֶל־פְּנֵ֧י הַגִּזְרָ֛ה וְאֶל־פְּנֵ֥י הַבִּנְיָ֖ן לְשָׁכֽוֹת׃

11
Phonetic (Hebrew): vede֨reke֙ lipeneyhe֔m kּemare'e֣h halּeshshak֗ot 'ashsher֙ dּe֣reke hatzּap֔on kּe'arekּa֖n kּe֣n rachebּa֑n vekol֙ motza֣'eyhe֔n ukemishshepּeteyhe֖n ukepitecheyheֽn׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

וְדֶ֨רֶךְ֙ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם כְּמַרְאֵ֣ה הַלְּשָׁכ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁר֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַצָּפ֔וֹן כְּאָרְכָּ֖ן כֵּ֣ן רָחְבָּ֑ן וְכֹל֙ מוֹצָ֣אֵיהֶ֔ן וּכְמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶ֖ן וּכְפִתְחֵיהֶֽן׃

12
Phonetic (Hebrew): ukepiteche֣y halּeshshak֗ot 'ashsher֙ dּe֣reke hadּar֔om pּe֖tach bּero֣'shsh dּa֑reke dּe֗reke bּipeney֙ hagּede֣ret hagiyna֔h dּe֥reke haqּadi֖ym bּebo'aֽn׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.

וּכְפִתְחֵ֣י הַלְּשָׁכ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁר֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַדָּר֔וֹם פֶּ֖תַח בְּרֹ֣אשׁ דָּ֑רֶךְ דֶּ֗רֶךְ בִּפְנֵי֙ הַגְּדֶ֣רֶת הֲגִינָ֔ה דֶּ֥רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֖ים בְּבוֹאָֽן׃

13
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer 'ela֗y liֽshshek֨ot hatzּap֜on liֽshshek֣ot hadּarom֮ 'ashshe֣r 'el-pּene֣y hagּizerah֒ he֣nּah ׀ liֽshshek֣ot haqּo֗deshsh 'ashshe֨r yo'kelu-shsha֧m hakּohani֛ym 'ashsher-qerobi֥ym laֽyhva֖h qadeshshe֣y haqּodashshi֑ym shsha֞m yanּi֣ychu ׀ qadeshshe֣y haqּodashshi֗ym vehamּinechah֙ vehachatּa֣'t veha'ashsha֔m kּi֥y hamּaq֖om qadoֽshsh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then said he to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach to the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy."

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר 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׃

14
Phonetic (Hebrew): bּebo'a֣m hakּohani֗ym veloֽ'-yetze'֤u mehaqּo֨deshsh֙ 'el-hechatze֣r hachiytzona֔h veshsha֞m yanּi֧ychu bigedeyhe֛m 'ashsher-yeshsharet֥u bahe֖n kּiֽy-qo֣deshsh he֑nּah ylbshv velabeshshu֙ bּegadi֣ym 'acheri֔ym veqareb֖u 'el-'ashshe֥r la'aֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)"When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people."

בְּבֹאָ֣ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים וְלֹֽא־יֵצְא֤וּ מֵהַקֹּ֨דֶשׁ֙ אֶל־הֶחָצֵ֣ר הַחִיצוֹנָ֔ה וְשָׁ֞ם יַנִּ֧יחוּ בִגְדֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־יְשָׁרְת֥וּ בָהֶ֖ן כִּֽי־קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֑נָּה ילבשו וְלָבְשׁוּ֙ בְּגָדִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וְקָרְב֖וּ אֶל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָעָֽם׃

15
Phonetic (Hebrew): vekilּa֗h 'et-midּot֙ habּa֣yit hapּeniymi֔y vehotziy'a֨niy֙ dּe֣reke hashshּa֔'ar 'ashshe֥r pּana֖yv dּe֣reke haqּadi֑ym umedad֖o sabi֥yb ׀ sabiֽyb׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.

וְכִלָּ֗ה אֶת־מִדּוֹת֙ הַבַּ֣יִת הַפְּנִימִ֔י וְהוֹצִיאַ֨נִי֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַשַּׁ֔עַר אֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּנָ֖יו דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַקָּדִ֑ים וּמְדָד֖וֹ סָבִ֥יב ׀ סָבִֽיב׃

16
Phonetic (Hebrew): mada֛d r֥ucha haqּadi֖ym bּiqene֣h hamּidּa֑h chameshsh-'mvt me'֥ot qani֛ym bּiqene֥h hamּidּa֖h sabiֽyb׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

מָדַ֛ד ר֥וּחַ הַקָּדִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֣ה הַמִּדָּ֑ה חֲמֵשׁ־אמות מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֛ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃

17
Phonetic (Hebrew): mada֖d r֣ucha hatzּap֑on chameshsh-me'֥ot qani֛ym bּiqene֥h hamּidּa֖h sabiֽyb׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He measured the north side五 hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

מָדַ֖ד ר֣וּחַ הַצָּפ֑וֹן חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֛ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃

18

Edified Edition (EDE)He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.

אֵ֛ת ר֥וּחַ הַדָּר֖וֹם מָדָ֑ד חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּֽה׃

19
Phonetic (Hebrew): saba֖b 'el-r֣ucha hayּa֑m mada֛d chameshsh-me'֥ot qani֖ym bּiqene֥h hamּidּaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

סָבַ֖ב אֶל־ר֣וּחַ הַיָּ֑ם מָדַ֛ד חֲמֵשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת קָנִ֖ים בִּקְנֵ֥ה הַמִּדָּֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.

לְאַרְבַּ֨ע רוּח֜וֹת מְדָד֗וֹ ח֤וֹמָה לוֹ֙ סָבִ֣יב ׀ סָבִ֔יב אֹ֚רֶךְ חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֔וֹת וְרֹ֖חַב חֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֑וֹת לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַקֹּ֖דֶשׁ לְחֹֽל׃
