1 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.
2 Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.
3 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].
4 And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
5 Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
6 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.
7 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.
8 For the length of the chambers that [were] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] an hundred cubits.
9 And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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 entereth into them.
13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the south chambers, which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20 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.
Versículos relacionados com Ezekiel, 42:
In Ezekiel 42, the prophet receives a view of a temple and his sanctuary. The chapter describes precise measures for the rooms and corridors of the temple, as well as for the area around it. Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in Ezekiel 42:
Exodus 26:33: "And thou shalt hang the veil under the brackets, and shall take the ark of testimony into the veil; and the veil will separate you between the sanctuary and the most holy place." This verse describes how the veil separated the sanctuary from the most holy place, and is relevant to the description of the temple in Ezekiel 42, which also has a separate area for the sanctuary and the most holy place.
1 Kings 6:5: "And against the wall of the house, which was inside, built floors around the walls of the house, around the temple and the sanctuary; and made cameras around." This verse talks about the construction of the temple of Solomon, which can be seen as a precedent for the vision of the temple described in Ezekiel 42.
Ezekiel 41:13: "Thus measured the house, namely six cubits wide to one side, and six cubits wide to the other side, which was the width of the tabernacle." This verse is a continuation of the temple description that begins in Ezekiel 40 and extends to Ezekiel 42, including the accurate measurements for the width of the temple.
Ezekiel 43:7: "And said to me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the plants of my feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever; and the house of Israel will not contaminate But my holy name, neither they nor their kings, with their prostitution and the corpses of their kings in their ups. " This verse is important because it establishes the purpose of the temple described in Ezekiel, as the place where God will dwell among the children of Israel forever.
Hebrews 9:24: "For Christ has not entered a sanctuary made by hands, figure of the real, but in the same heaven, to now appear for us before the face of God;" This verse points to the difference between the physical temple described in Ezekiel 42 and the true heavenly sanctuary that Christ entered, and highlights the importance of the relationship of the physical temple to spiritual reality.
