Ezekiel 41 (LXX)

1ΚΑΙ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὸν ναόν, ᾧ διεμέτρησε τὸ αἰλὰμ πηχῶν ἓξ τὸ πλάτος ἔνθενThen the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.

2καὶ πηχῶν ἓξ τὸ εὖρος τοῦ αἰλὰμ ἔνθεν, καὶ τὸ εὖρος τοῦ πυλῶνος πηχῶν δέκα, καὶ ἐπωμίδες τοῦ πυλῶνος πηχῶν πέντε ἔνθεν καὶ πηχῶν πέντε ἔνθεν· καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ μῆκος αὐτοῦ πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ τὸ εὖρος πηχῶν εἴκοσι.The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.

3καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ αἲλ τοῦ θυρώματος πηχῶν δύο καὶ τὸ θύρωμα πηχῶν ἓξ καὶ τὰς ἐπωμίδας τοῦ θυρώματος πηχῶν ἑπτὰ ἔνθεν καὶ πηχῶν ἑπτὰ ἔνθεν.And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.

4καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ μῆκος τῶν θυρῶν πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ εὖρος πηχῶν εἴκοσι κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ναοῦ. καὶ εἶπε· τοῦτο τὸ ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων.Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

5καὶ διεμέτησε τὸν τοῖχον τοῦ οἴκου πηχῶν ἓξ καὶ τὸ εὖρος τῆς πλευρᾶς πηχῶν τεσσάρων κυκλόθεν.Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.

6καὶ τὰ πλευρὰ πλευρὸν ἐπὶ πλευρὸν τριάκοντα καὶ τρεῖς δίς, καὶ διάστημα ἐν τῷ τοίχῳ τοῦ οἴκου ἐν τοῖς πλευροῖς κύκλῳ τοῦ εἶναι τοῖς ἐπιλαμβανομένοις ὁρᾶν, ὅπως τὸ παράπαν μὴ ἅπτωνται τῶν τοίχων τοῦ οἴκου.The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

7καὶ τὸ εὖρος τῆς ἀνωτέρας τῶν πλευρῶν κατὰ τὸ πρόσθεμα ἐκ τοῦ τοίχου πρὸς τὴν ἀνωτέραν κύκλῳ τοῦ οἴκου, ὅπως διαπλατύνηται ἄνωθεν καὶ ἐκ τῶν κάτωθεν ἀναβαίνωσιν ἐπὶ τὰ ὑπερῷα καὶ ἐκ τῶν μέσων ἐπὶ τὰ τριώροφα.The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.

8καὶ τὸ θραὲλ τοῦ οἴκου ὕψος κύκλῳ διάστημα τῶν πλευρῶν ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ, πηχῶν ἓξ διάστημα.I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.

9καὶ εὖρος τοῦ τοίχου τῆς πλευρᾶς ἔξωθεν πηχῶν πέντε· καὶ τὰ ἀπόλοιπα ἀναμέσον τῶν πλευρῶν τοῦ οἴκουThe outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple

10καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ἐξεδρῶν εὖρος πηχῶν εἴκοσι, τὸ περιφερὲς τῷ οἴκῳ κύκλῳ.and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

11καὶ αἱ θύραι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν ἐπὶ τὸ ἀπόλοιπον τῆς θύρας τῆς μιᾶς τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν· καὶ ἡ θύρα ἡ μία πρὸς νότον, καὶ τὸ εὖρος τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ ἀπολοίπου πηχῶν πέντε πλάτος κυκλόθεν.The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.

12καὶ τὸ διορίζον κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀπολοίπου ὡς πρὸς θάλασσαν πηχῶν ἑβδομήκοντα, πλάτος τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ διορίζοντος πηχῶν πέντε, εὖρος κυκλόθεν καὶ μῆκος αὐτοῦ πηχῶν ἐνενήκοντα.Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.

13καὶ διεμέτρησε κατέναντι τοῦ οἴκου μῆκος πηχῶν ἑκατόν, καὶ τὰ ἀπόλοιπα καὶ τὰ διορίζοντα καὶ οἱ τοῖχοι αὐτῶν μῆκος πηχῶν ἑκατόν,Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

14καὶ τὸ εὖρος κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου καὶ τὰ ἀπόλοιπα κατέναντι πηχῶν ἑκατόν.The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.

15καὶ διεμέτρησε μῆκος τοῦ διορίζοντος κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀπολοίπου τῶν κατόπισθεν τοῦ οἴκου ἐκείνου καὶ τὰ ἀπόλοιπα ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν πηχῶν ἑκατὸν τὸ μῆκος. καὶ ὁ ναὸς καὶ αἱ γωνίαι καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τὸ ἐξώτερον πεφατνωμένα,Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court,

16καὶ αἱ θυρίδες δικτυωταί, ὑποφαύσεις κύκλῳ τοῖς τρισὶν ὥστε διακύπτειν· καὶ ὁ οἶκος καὶ τὰ πλησίον ἐξυλωμένα κύκλῳ καὶ τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἐδάφους ἕως τῶν θυρίδων, καὶ αἱ θυρίδες ἀναπτυσσόμεναι τρισσῶς εἰς τὸ διακύπτειν.as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.

17καὶ ἕως πλησίον τῆς ἐσωτέρας καὶ ἕως τῆς ἐξωτέρας καὶ ἐφ' ὅλον τὸν τοῖχον κύκλῳ ἐν τῷ ἔσωθεν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔξωθενIn the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,

18γεγλυμμένα Χερουβίμ, καὶ φοίνικες ἀναμέσον Χερούβ καὶ Χερούβ· δύο πρόσωπα τῷ Χερούβ,were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:

19πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπου πρὸς τὸν φοίνικα ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν καὶ πρόσωπον λέοντος πρὸς τὸν φοίνικα ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν· διαγεγλυμμένος ὅλος ὁ οἶκος κυκλόθεν,the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.

20ἐκ τοῦ ἐδάφους ἕως τοῦ φατνώματος τὰ Χερουβὶμ καὶ οἱ φοίνικες διαγεγλυμμένοι.Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

21καὶ τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ὁ ναὸς ἀναπτυσσόμενος τετράγωνα. κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἁγίων ὅρασις ὡς ὄψιςThe outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.

22θυσιαστηρίου ξυλίνου, πηχῶν τριῶν τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ μῆκος πηχῶν δύο καὶ τὸ εὖρος πηχῶν δύο· καὶ κέρατα εἶχε, καὶ ἡ βάσις αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ τοῖχοι αὐτοῦ ξύλινοι· καὶ εἶπε πρός με· αὕτη ἡ τράπεζα ἡ πρὸ προσώπου Κυρίου. καὶ δύο θυρώματα τῷ ναῷThere was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

23καὶ τῷ ἁγίῳ·Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,

24δύο θυρώματα τοῖς δυσὶ θυρώμασι τοῖς στροφωτοῖς, δύο θυρώματα τῷ ἑνὶ καὶ δύο θυρώματα τῇ θύρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ.and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.

25καὶ γλυφὴ ἐπ' αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ θυρώματα τοῦ ναοῦ Χερουβίμ, καὶ φοίνικες κατὰ τὴν γλυφὴν τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ σπουδαῖα ξύλα κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ αἰλὰμ ἔξωθενCherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.

26καὶ θυρίδες κρυπταί. καὶ διεμέτρησεν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν εἰς τὰ ὀροφώματα τοῦ αἰλὰμ καὶ τὰ πλευρὰ τοῦ οἴκου ἐζυγωμένα.There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
