1 And he led me into the outer court by the way that leads to the north, and he led me into the storeroom that was opposite the separate edifice, and opposite the shrine that verges toward the north.
2 The length of the face of the north gate was one hundred cubits, and the width was fifty cubits.
3 Opposite the twenty cubits of the interior court, and opposite the layer of pavement stones in the outer court, in that place, there was a portico joined to a triple portico.
4 And before the storerooms, there was a walkway of ten cubits in width, looking toward the interior along a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the north.
5 In that place, there were storerooms in the upper part of the lower level. For they supported the porticos, which projected from them out of the lower level, and out of the middle of the building.
6 For they were of three levels, and they did not have pillars, as they were like the pillars of the courts. Because of this, they projected from the lower levels and from the middle, fifty cubits from the ground.
7 And the exterior enclosing wall, adjacent to the storerooms that were along the way of the exterior court in front of the storerooms, was fifty cubits long.
8 For the length of the storerooms of the exterior court was fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 And under these storerooms, there was an entrance from the east, for those who were entering into it from the outer court.
10 In the width of the enclosing wall of the court that was opposite the way of the east, at the face of the separate edifice, there were also storerooms, before the edifice.
11 And the way before their face was in accord with the form of the storerooms which were along the way of the north. As was their length, so also was their width. And the entire entrance, and the likenesses, and their doors
12 were in accord with the doors of the storerooms that were on the way looking toward the Renown. There was a door at the head of the way, and the way was before a separate vestibule, along the way entering toward the east.
13 And he said to me: “The storerooms of the north, and the storerooms of the south, which are before the separate edifice, these are holy storerooms, in which the priests, who draw near to the Lord in the Holy of Holies, shall eat. There they shall station the Holy of Holies, and the offering for sin, and for trespasses. For it is a holy place.
14 And when the priests will have entered, they shall not depart from the holy places into the outer court. And in that place, they shall set their vestments, in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall be clothed with other vestments, and in this manner they shall go forth to the people.”
15 And when he had completed measuring the inner house, he led me out along the way of the gate that looked toward the way of the east. And he measured it on every side all around.
16 Then he measured facing the east wind with the measuring reed: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
17 And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
18 And toward the south wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
19 And toward the west wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20 By the four winds, he measured its wall, on every side throughout the course: five hundred cubits in length and five hundred cubits in width, dividing between the sanctuary and the place of the common people.
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.
