VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In vigesimo quinto anno transmigrationis nostræ, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas, in ipsa hac die, facta est super me manus Domini, et adduxit me illuc.	1 On the tenth day of the month beginning the twenty-fifth year of our exile, fourteen years after the city was taken, that very day the hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me
2 In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israël, et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis, super quem erat quasi ædificium civitatis vergentis ad austrum.	2 in divine visions to the land of Israel, where he set me down on a very high mountain. On it there seemed to be a city being built before me.
3 Et introduxit me illuc : et ecce vir cujus erat species quasi species æris, et funiculus lineus in manu ejus, et calamus mensuræ in manu ejus : stabat autem in porta.	3 When he had brought me there, all at once I saw a man whose appearance was that of bronze; he was standing in the gate, holding a linen cord and a measuring rod.
4 Et locutus est ad me idem vir : Fili hominis, vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi, et pone cor tuum in omnia quæ ego ostendam tibi, quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc. Annuntia omnia quæ tu vides domui Israël.	4 The man said to me, "Son of man, look carefully and listen intently, and pay strict attention to all that I will show you, for you have been brought here so that I might show it to you. Tell the house of Israel all that you see."
5 Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique : et in manu viri calamus mensuræ sex cubitorum et palmo : et mensus est latitudinem ædificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.	5 (Then I saw an outer wall that completely surrounded the temple. The man was holding a measuring rod six cubits long, each cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth; he measured the width and the height of the structure, each of which were found to be one rod.)
6 Et venit ad portam quæ respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus ejus : et mensus est limen portæ calamo uno latitudinem, id est, limen unum calamo uno in latitudine.	6 Then he went to the gate which faced the east, climbed its steps, and measured the gate's threshold, which was found to be a rod wide.
7 Et thalamum uno calamo in longum, et uno calamo in latum : et inter thalamos, quinque cubitos.	7 The cells were a rod long and a rod wide, and the pilasters between the cells measured five cubits. The threshold of the gate adjoining the vestibule of the gate toward the inside measured one rod.
8 Et limen portæ, juxta vestibulum portæ intrinsecus, calamo uno.	8 He measured the vestibule of the gate,
9 Et mensus est vestibulum portæ octo cubitorum, et frontem ejus duobus cubitis : vestibulum autem portæ erat intrinsecus.	9 which was eight cubits, and its pilasters, which were two cubits. The vestibule of the gate was toward the inside.
10 Porro thalami portæ ad viam orientalem, tres hinc et tres inde : mensura una trium, et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte.	10 The cells of the east gate were three on either side, of equal size, and the pilasters on either side were also of equal size.
11 Et mensus est latitudinem liminis portæ decem cubitorum, et longitudinem portæ tredecim cubitorum.	11 He measured the gate's entrance, which was ten cubits wide, while the width of the gate's passage itself was thirteen cubits.
12 Et marginem ante thalamos, cubiti unius, et cubitus unus finis utrimque : thalami autem sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.	12 The border before each of the cells on both sides was one cubit; the cells themselves were six cubits on either side, from opening to opening.
13 Et mensus est portam a tecto thalami usque ad tectum ejus, latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum, ostium contra ostium.	13 He measured the gate from the back wall of one cell to the back wall of the cell on the opposite side: the width was twenty-five cubits.
14 Et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos, et ad frontem atrium portæ undique per circuitum.	14 He measured the vestibule, which was twenty-five cubits. The pilasters adjoining the court on either side were six cubits.
15 Et ante faciem portæ quæ pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portæ interioris, quinquaginta cubitos.	15 The length of the gate from the front entrance to the front of the vestibule on the inside was fifty cubits.
16 Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis et in frontibus eorum, quæ erant intra portam undique per circuitum : similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestræ per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.	16 Within the gateway on both sides there were splayed windows let into the cells (and into their pilasters); likewise, within the vestibule on both sides there were windows. The pilasters were decorated with palms.
17 Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius : et ecce gazophylacia, et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum : triginta gazophylacia in circuitu pavimenti.	17 Then he brought me to the outer court, where there were chambers and a pavement. The pavement was laid all around the court, and the chambers, which were on the pavement, were thirty in number.
18 Et pavimentum in fronte portarum, secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius.	18 The pavement lay alongside the gates, as wide as the gates were long; this was the lower pavement.
19 Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portæ inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus : centum cubitos ad orientem et ad aquilonem.	19 He measured the width of the court from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner gate; it was one hundred cubits between them. Then he proceeded north,
20 Portam quoque quæ respiciebat viam aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est tam in longitudine quam in latitudine.	20 where, on the outer court, there was a gate facing north, whose length and width he measured.
21 Et thalamos ejus tres hinc et tres inde, et frontem ejus et vestibulum ejus secundum mensuram portæ prioris, quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem ejus, et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum.	21 Its cells, three on either side, its pilasters, and its vestibule had the same measurements as those of the first gate; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
22 Fenestræ autem ejus, et vestibulum, et sculpturæ secundum mensuram portæ quæ respiciebat ad orientem : et septem graduum erat ascensus ejus, et vestibulum ante eam.	22 Its windows, the windows of its vestibule, and its palm decorations were of the same proportions as those of the gate facing the east. Seven steps led up to it, and its vestibule was toward the inside.
23 Et porta atrii interioris contra portam aquilonis et orientalem : et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.	23 The inner court had a gate opposite the north gate, just as at the east gate; he measured one hundred cubits from one gate to the other.
24 Et eduxit me ad viam australem : et ecce porta quæ respiciebat ad austrum : et mensus est frontem ejus et vestibulum ejus juxta mensuras superiores.	24 Then he led me south, to where there was a southern gate, whose cells, pilasters, and vestibule he measured; they were the same size as the others.
25 Et fenestras ejus, et vestibula in circuitu, sicut fenestras ceteras : quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine, et latitudine viginti quinque cubitorum.	25 The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
26 Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam, et vestibulum ante fores ejus : et cælatæ palmæ erant, una hinc, et altera inde, in fronte ejus.	26 It was ascended by seven steps; its vestibule was toward the inside; and it was decorated with palms here and there on its pilasters.
27 Et porta atrii interioris in via australi : et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi, centum cubitos.	27 The inner court also had a southern gate; from gate to gate he measured one hundred cubits.
28 Et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem : et mensus est portam juxta mensuras superiores.	28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, where he measured the south gate. Its dimensions were the same as the others;
29 Thalamum ejus, et frontem ejus, et vestibulum ejus eisdem mensuris, et fenestras ejus, et vestibulum ejus in circuitu, quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis, et latitudinis viginti quinque cubitos.	29 its cells, its pilasters, and its vestibule were the same size as the others. The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides; and it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
30 Et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine viginti quinque cubitorum, et latitudine quinque cubitorum :
31 et vestibulum ejus ad atrium exterius, et palmas ejus in fronte : et octo gradus erant quibus ascendebatur per eam.	31 But its vestibule was toward the outer court; palms were on its pilasters, and it had a stairway of eight steps.
32 Et introduxit me in atrium interius, per viam orientalem : et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores.	32 Then he brought me to the gate facing the east, where he measured the gate, whose dimensions were found to be the same.
33 Thalamum ejus, et frontem ejus, et vestibulum ejus, sicut supra : et fenestras ejus, et vestibula ejus in circuitu, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine viginti quinque cubitorum.	33 Its cells, its pilasters, and its vestibule were the same size as the others; the gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
34 Et vestibulum ejus, id est, atrii exterioris, et palmæ cælatæ in fronte ejus, hinc et inde : et in octo gradibus ascensus ejus.	34 But its vestibule was toward the outer court; palms were on its pilasters here and there, and it had a stairway of eight steps.
35 Et introduxit me ad portam quæ respiciebat ad aquilonem : et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores.	35 Then he brought me to the north gate, where he measured the dimensions
36 Thalamum ejus, et frontem ejus, et vestibulum ejus, et fenestras ejus per circuitum, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine viginti quinque cubitorum.	36 of its cells, its pilasters, and its vestibule, and found them the same. The gate and its vestibule had windows on both sides; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
37 Et vestibulum ejus respiciebat ad atrium exterius : et cælatura palmarum in fronte ejus, hinc et inde : et in octo gradibus ascensus ejus.	37 Its vestibule was toward the outer court; palms were on its pilasters here and there, and it had a stairway of eight steps.
38 Et per singula gazophylacia ostium in frontibus portarum : ibi lavabant holocaustum.	38 There was a chamber opening off the vestibule of the gate, where the holocausts were rinsed.
39 Et in vestibulo portæ, duæ mensæ hinc, et duæ mensæ inde, ut immoletur super eas holocaustum, et pro peccato et pro delicto.	39 In the vestibule of the gate there were two tables on either side, on which were slaughtered the sin offerings and guilt offerings.
40 Et ad latus exterius, quod ascendit ad ostium portæ quæ pergit ad aquilonem, duæ mensæ : et ad latus alterum, ante vestibulum portæ, duæ mensæ :	40 Along the wall of the vestibule, but outside, near the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, and on the other side of the vestibule of the gate there were two tables.
41 quatuor mensæ hinc, et quatuor mensæ inde : per latera portæ octo mensæ erant, super quas immolabant.	41 There were four tables on either side of the gate (eight tables), on which the sacrifices were slaughtered.
42 Quatuor autem mensæ ad holocaustum de lapidibus quadris exstructæ, longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii, et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii, et altitudine cubiti unius : super quas ponant vasa in quibus immolatur holocaustum et victima.	42 There were four tables for holocausts, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high.
43 Et labia earum palmi unius, reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum : super mensas autem carnes oblationis.	43 The ledges, a handbreadth wide, were set on the inside all around, and on them were laid the instruments with which the holocausts were slaughtered. On the tables themselves the flesh was laid.
44 Et extra portam interiorem, gazophylacia cantorum in atrio interiori, quod erat in latere portæ respicientis ad aquilonem : et facies eorum contra viam australem : una ex latere portæ orientalis, quæ respiciebat ad viam aquilonis.	44 He then led me to the inner court where there were two chambers, one beside the north gate, facing south, and the other beside the south gate, facing north.
45 Et dixit ad me : Hoc est gazophylacium quod respicit viam meridianam : sacerdotum erit, qui excubant in custodiis templi.	45 He said to me, "This chamber which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple,
46 Porro gazophylacium quod respicit ad viam aquilonis, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant ad ministerium altaris : isti sunt filii Sadoc, qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum ut ministrent ei.	46 and the chamber which faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the Zadokites, the only Levites who may come near to minister to the LORD."
47 Et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum, et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum : et altare ante faciem templi.	47 Then he measured the court, which was a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, a perfect square. The altar stood in front of the temple.
48 Et introduxit me in vestibulum templi : et mensus est vestibulum quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde : et latitudinem portæ trium cubitorum hinc, et trium cubitorum inde.	48 Then he brought me into the vestibule of the temple and measured the pilasters on each side, which were five cubits. The width of the doorway was fourteen cubits, and the side walls on either side of the door measured three cubits.
49 Longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem undecim cubitorum, et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam. Et columnæ erant in frontibus : una hinc, et altera inde.	49 The vestibule was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep; ten steps led up to it, and there were columns by the pilasters, one on either side.
