Ezekiel 42 (LXX)

1ΚΑΙ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν κατά ἀνατολὰς κατέναντι τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν· καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξέδραι πέντε ἐχόμεναι τοῦ ἀπολοίπου καὶ ἐχόμεναι τοῦ διορίζοντος πρὸς βορρᾶν,Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.

2ἐπὶ πήχεις ἑκατὸν μῆκος πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ τὸ πλάτος πεντήκοντα πηχῶν,The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

3διαγεγραμμέναι ὃν τρόπον αἱ πύλαι τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας καὶ ὃν τρόπον τὰ περίστυλα τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας, ἐστιχισμέναι ἀντιπρόσωποι στοαὶ τρισσαί.Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.

4καὶ κατέναντι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν περίπατος πηχῶν δέκα τὸ πλάτος, ἐπὶ πήχεις ἑκατὸν τὸ μῆκος· καὶ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν.In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

5καὶ οἱ περίπατοι οἱ ὑπερῷοι ὡσαύτως, ὅτι ἐξείχετο τὸ περίστυλον ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τοῦ ὑποκάτωθεν περιστύλου, καὶ τὸ διάστημα· οὕτως περίστυλον καὶ διάστημαNow the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.

6καὶ οὕτως στοαί· διότι τριπλαῖ ἦσαν καὶ στύλους οὐκ εἶχον καθὼς οἱ στῦλοι τῶν ἐξωτέρων, διὰ τοῦτο ἐξείχοντο τῶν ὑποκάτωθεν καὶ τῶν μέσων ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.

7καὶ φῶς ἔξωθεν ὃν τρόπον αἱ ἐξέδραι τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας αἱ βλέπουσαι ἀπέναντι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν, μῆκος πηχῶν πεντήκοντα·An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.

8ὅτι τὸ μῆκος τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν βλεπουσῶν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν ἦν πηχῶν πεντήκοντα, καὶ αὐταί εἰσιν αἱ ἀντιπρόσωποι ταύταις· τὸ πᾶν πηχῶν ἑκατόν.For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.

9καὶ αἱ θύραι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τούτων τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι δι' αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέραςAnd below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

10κατὰ τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἐν ἀρχῇ περιπάτου. καὶ τὰ πρὸς νότον κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ νότου κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀπολοίπου καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ διορίζοντος ἐξέδραι,On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,

11καὶ ὁ περίπατος κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ κατὰ τὸ μῆκος αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὸ εὖρος αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐπιστροφὰς αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τά φῶτα αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῶνwith a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.

12τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς νότον καὶ κατὰ τὰ θυρώματα ἀπ' ἀρχῆς τοῦ περιπάτου ὡς ἐπὶ φῶς διαστήματος καλάμου καὶ κατὰ ἀνατολὰς τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι δι' αὐτῶν.And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

13Καὶ εἶπε πρός με· αἱ ἐξέδραι αἱ πρὸς βορρᾶν, καὶ αἱ ἐξέδραι αἱ πρὸς νότον αἱ οὖσαι κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν διαστημάτων, αὗταί εἰσιν αἱ ἐξέδραι τοῦ ἁγίου, ἐν αἷς φάγονται ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς υἱοὶ Σαδδοὺκ οἱ ἐγγίζοντες πρὸς Κύριον τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων· καὶ ἐκεῖ θήσουσι τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὰ περὶ ἀγνοίας, διότι ὁ τόπος ἅγιος.Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.

14οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται ἐκεῖ πάρεξ τῶν ἱερέων· οὐκ ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τοῦ ἁγίου εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, ὅπως διαπαντὸς ἅγιοι ὦσιν οἱ προσάγοντες, καὶ μὴ ἅπτωνται τοῦ στολισμοῦ αὐτῶν, ἐν οἷς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, διότι ἅγιά ἐστι· καὶ ἐνδύσονται ἱμάτια ἕτερα, ὅταν ἅπτωνται τοῦ λαοῦ.Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”

15Καὶ συνετελέσθη ἡ διαμέτρησις τοῦ οἴκου ἔσωθεν. καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με καθ' ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ ὑπόδειγμα τοῦ οἴκου κυκλόθεν ἐν διατάξει.Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:

16καὶ ἔστη κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολὰς καὶ διεμέτρησε πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου·With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.

17καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βορρᾶ πήχεις πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου·He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.

18καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς θαλάσσης πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου.He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.

19καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς νότον καὶ διεμέτρησε κατέναντι τοῦ νότου πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου·And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.

20τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τοῦ αὐτοῦ καλάμου. καὶ διέταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ περίβολον αὐτῶν κύκλῳ πεντακοσίων πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ πεντακοσίων πηχῶν εὖρος τοῦ διαστέλλειν ἀναμέσον τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ προτειχίσματος τοῦ ἐν διατάξει τοῦ οἴκου.So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
