IV. LA "TORAH" DI EZECHIELE

Il tempio futuro

40 Al principio dell'anno venticinquesimo della nostra deportazione, il dieci del mese, quattordici anni da quando era stata presa la città, in quel medesimo giorno, la mano del Signore fu sopra di me ed egli mi condusse là. 2 In visione divina mi condusse nella terra d'Israele e mi pose sopra un monte altissimo sul quale sembrava costruita una città, dal lato di mezzogiorno. 3 Egli mi condusse là: ed ecco un uomo, il cui aspetto era come di bronzo, in piedi sulla porta, con una cordicella di lino in mano e una canna per misurare. 4 Quell'uomo mi disse: «Figlio dell'uomo: osserva e ascolta attentamente e fà attenzione a quanto io sto per mostrarti, perché tu sei stato condotto qui perché io te lo mostri e tu manifesti alla casa d'Israele quello che avrai visto».

Il muro esterno

5 Ed ecco il tempio era tutto recinto da un muro. La canna per misurare che l'uomo teneva in mano era di sei cubiti, d'un cubito e un palmo ciascuno. Egli misurò lo spessore del muro: era una canna, e l'altezza una canna.

Il portico orientale

6 Poi andò alla porta che guarda a oriente, salì i gradini e misurò la soglia della porta; era una canna di larghezza. 7 Ogni stanza misurava una canna di lunghezza e una di larghezza, da una stanza all'altra vi erano cinque cubiti: anche la soglia del portico dal lato dell'atrio della porta stessa, verso l'interno, era di una canna. 8 Misurò l'atrio della porta: era di otto cubiti; 9 i pilastri di due cubiti. L'atrio della porta era verso l'interno.

10 Le stanze della porta a oriente erano tre da una parte e tre dall'altra, tutt'e tre della stessa grandezza, come di una stessa misura erano i pilastri da una parte e dall'altra. 11 Misurò la larghezza dell'apertura del portico: era di dieci cubiti; l'ampiezza della porta era di tredici cubiti. 12 Davanti alle stanze vi era un parapetto di un cubito, da un lato e dall'altro; ogni stanza misurava sei cubiti per lato. 13 Misurò poi il portico dal tetto di una stanza al suo opposto; la larghezza era di venticinque cubiti; da un'apertura all'altra; 14 i pilastri li calcolò alti sessanta cubiti, dai pilastri cominciava il cortile che circondava la porta. 15 Dalla facciata della porta d'ingresso alla facciata dell'atrio della porta interna vi era uno spazio di cinquanta cubiti. 16 Le stanze e i pilastri avevano finestre con grate verso l'interno, intorno alla porta, come anche vi erano finestre intorno che davano sull'interno dell'atrio. Sui pilastri erano disegnate palme.

Il cortile esterno

17 Poi mi condusse nel cortile esterno e vidi delle stanze e un lastricato costruito intorno al cortile; trenta erano le stanze lungo il lastricato. 18 Il lastricato si estendeva ai lati delle porte per una estensione uguale alla larghezza delle porte stesse: era il lastricato inferiore. 19 Misurò lo spazio dalla facciata della porta inferiore da oriente a settentrione alla facciata della porta interna, erano cento cubiti.

Il portico settentrionale

20 Poi misurò la lunghezza e la larghezza della porta che guarda a settentrione e conduce al cortile esterno. 21 Le sue stanze, tre da una parte e tre dall'altra, i pilastri, l'atrio avevano le stesse dimensioni della prima porta: cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza per venticinque di larghezza. 22 Le finestre, l'atrio e le palme avevano le stesse dimensioni di quelle della porta che guarda a oriente. Vi si accedeva per sette scalini: l'atrio era davanti. 23 Di fronte al portico di settentrione vi era la porta, come di fronte a quello di oriente; misurò la distanza fra portico e portico: vi erano cento cubiti.

Il portico meridionale

24 Mi condusse poi verso mezzogiorno: ecco un portico rivolto a mezzogiorno. Ne misurò i pilastri e l'atrio; avevano le stesse dimensioni. 25 Intorno al portico, come intorno all'atrio, vi erano finestre uguali alle altre finestre. Esso misurava cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza per venticinque di larghezza. 26 Vi si accedeva per sette gradini: il vestibolo stava verso l'interno. Sui pilastri, da una parte e dall'altra, vi erano ornamenti di palme. 27 Il cortile interno aveva un portico verso mezzogiorno; egli misurò la distanza fra porta e porta in direzione del mezzogiorno; erano cento cubiti.

Atrio interno. Portico meridionale

28 Allora mi introdusse nell'atrio interno, per il portico meridionale, e misurò questo portico; aveva le stesse dimensioni. 29 Le stanze, i pilastri e l'atrio avevano le medesime misure. Intorno al portico, come intorno all'atrio, vi erano finestre. Esso misurava cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza per venticinque di larghezza.

30 Intorno vi erano vestiboli di venticinque cubiti di lunghezza per cinque di larghezza.

31 Il suo vestibolo era rivolto verso l'atrio esterno; sui pilastri c'erano ornamenti di palme; i gradini per i quali si accedeva erano otto.

Il portico orientale

32 Poi mi condusse al portico dell'atrio interno che guarda a oriente e lo misurò: aveva le solite dimensioni. 33 Le stanze, i pilastri e l'atrio avevano le stesse dimensioni. Intorno al portico, come intorno all'atrio, vi erano finestre. Esso misurava cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza per venticinque di larghezza. 34 Il suo vestibolo dava sull'atrio esterno: sui pilastri, da una parte e dall'altra vi erano ornamenti di palme: i gradini per i quali si accedeva erano otto.

Il portico settentrionale

35 Poi mi condusse al portico settentrionale e lo misurò: aveva le solite dimensioni, 36 come le stanze, i pilastri e l'atrio. Intorno vi erano finestre. Esso misurava cinquanta cubiti di lunghezza per venticinque di larghezza. 37 Il suo vestibolo dava sull'atrio esterno; sui pilastri, da una parte e dall'altra, c'erano ornamenti di palme: i gradini per cui vi si accedeva erano otto.

Annessi ai portici

38 C'era anche una stanza con la porta vicino ai pilastri dei portici; là venivano lavati gli olocausti. 39 Nell'atrio del portico vi erano due tavole da una parte e due dall'altra, sulle quali venivano sgozzati gli olocausti e i sacrifici espiatori e di riparazione. 40 Altre due tavole erano sul lato esterno, a settentrione di chi entra nel portico, e due tavole all'altro lato presso l'atrio del portico. 41 Così a ciascun lato del portico c'erano quattro tavole da una parte e quattro tavole dall'altra: otto tavole in tutto. Su di esse si sgozzavano le vittime. 42 C'erano poi altre quattro tavole di pietre squadrate, per gli olocausti, lunghe un cubito e mezzo, larghe un cubito e mezzo e alte un cubito: su di esse venivano deposti gli strumenti con i quali si immolavano gli olocausti e gli altri sacrifici. 43 Uncini d'un palmo erano attaccati all'interno tutt'intorno; sulle tavole si mettevano le carni delle offerte.

44 Fuori del portico interno, nell'atrio interno, vi erano due stanze: quella accanto al portico settentrionale guardava a mezzogiorno, l'altra accanto al portico meridionale guardava a settentrione. 45 Egli mi disse: «La stanza che guarda a mezzogiorno è per i sacerdoti che hanno cura del tempio, 46 mentre la stanza che guarda a settentrione è per i sacerdoti che hanno cura dell'altare: sono essi i figli di Zadòk che, tra i figli di Levi, si avvicinano al Signore per il suo servizio».

L'atrio interno

47 Misurò quindi l'atrio: era un quadrato di cento cubiti di larghezza per cento di lunghezza. L'altare era di fronte al tempio.

Il tempio: l'ulam o atrio

48 Mi condusse poi nell'atrio del tempio e ne misurò i pilastri: erano ognuno cinque cubiti da una parte e cinque cubiti dall'altra; la larghezza del portico: tre cubiti da una parte e tre cubiti dall'altra. 49 La lunghezza del vestibolo era di venti cubiti e la larghezza di dodici cubiti. Vi si accedeva per mezzo di dieci gradini; accanto ai pilastri c'erano due colonne, una da una parte e una dall'altra.

Ezekiel 40
New International Version

The Temple Area Restored

40 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city(A)—on that very day the hand of the Lord was on me(B) and he took me there. 2 In visions(C) of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain,(D) on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. 3 He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze;(E) he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod(F) in his hand. 4 The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you,(G) for that is why you have been brought here. Tell(H) the people of Israel everything you see.(I)”

The East Gate to the Outer Court

5 I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits,[a] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured(J) the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.

6 Then he went to the east gate.(K) He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep. 7 The alcoves(L) for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits[b] thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.

8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway; 9 it[c] was eight cubits[d] deep and its jambs were two cubits[e] thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.

10 Inside the east gate were three alcoves on each side; the three had the same measurements, and the faces of the projecting walls on each side had the same measurements. 11 Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.[f] 12 In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square. 13 Then he measured the gateway from the top of the rear wall of one alcove to the top of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits[g] from one parapet opening to the opposite one. 14 He measured along the faces of the projecting walls all around the inside of the gateway—sixty cubits.[h] The measurement was up to the portico[i] facing the courtyard.[j](M) 15 The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.[k] 16 The alcoves and the projecting walls inside the gateway were surmounted by narrow parapet openings all around, as was the portico; the openings all around faced inward. The faces of the projecting walls were decorated with palm trees.(N)

The Outer Court

17 Then he brought me into the outer court.(O) There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms(P) along the pavement.(Q) 18 It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court;(R) it was a hundred cubits[l](S) on the east side as well as on the north.

The North Gate

20 Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court. 21 Its alcoves(T)—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico(U) had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 22 Its openings, its portico(V) and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.(W) 23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.(X)

The South Gate

24 Then he led me to the south side and I saw the south gate. He measured its jambs and its portico, and they had the same measurements(Y) as the others. 25 The gateway and its portico had narrow openings all around, like the openings of the others. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.(Z) 26 Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them; it had palm tree decorations on the faces of the projecting walls on each side.(AA) 27 The inner court(AB) also had a gate facing south, and he measured from this gate to the outer gate on the south side; it was a hundred cubits.(AC)

The Gates to the Inner Court

28 Then he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements(AD) as the others. 29 Its alcoves,(AE) its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.(AF) 30 (The porticoes(AG) of the gateways around the inner court were twenty-five cubits wide and five cubits deep.) 31 Its portico(AH) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.(AI)

32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements(AJ) as the others. 33 Its alcoves,(AK) its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 34 Its portico(AL) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.

35 Then he brought me to the north gate(AM) and measured it. It had the same measurements(AN) as the others, 36 as did its alcoves,(AO) its projecting walls and its portico, and it had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 37 Its portico[m](AP) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.(AQ)

The Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices

38 A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings(AR) were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings,(AS) sin offerings[n](AT) and guilt offerings(AU) were slaughtered.(AV) 40 By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of dressed stone(AW) for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[o] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.(AX) 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[p] long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.

The Rooms for the Priests

44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one[q] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south[r] gate and facing north. 45 He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,(AY) 46 and the room facing north(AZ) is for the priests who guard the altar.(BA) These are the sons of Zadok,(BB) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.(BC)”

47 Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.(BD)

The New Temple

48 He brought me to the portico of the temple(BE) and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits[s] and its projecting walls were[t] three cubits[u] wide on either side. 49 The portico(BF) was twenty cubits[v] wide, and twelve[w] cubits[x] from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs,[y] and there were pillars(BG) on each side of the jambs.

Prophetisches Gesicht vom neuen Tempel zu Jerusalem

40 Im fünfundzwanzigsten Jahre unserer Gefangenschaft, am Anfang des Jahres, am zehnten Tage des Monats, im vierzehnten Jahre, nachdem die Stadt erobert worden war, an eben dem Tage, kam die Hand des Herrn über mich und führte mich dorthin. 2 In göttlichen Gesichten führte er mich ins Land Israel und ließ mich nieder auf einem sehr hohen Berg; auf dessen Südseite war etwas wie der Bau einer Stadt. Dorthin führte er mich. 3 Und siehe, da war ein Mann, der sah aus, als wäre er von Erz, und er hatte eine leinene Schnur in der Hand und eine Meßrute; und er stand unter dem Tor. 4 Und der Mann sprach zu mir: Menschensohn, schau mit deinen Augen und höre mit deinen Ohren und fasse zu Herzen alles, was ich dir zeigen werde! Denn du bist hierhergebracht worden, daß dir solches gezeigt werde; alles, was du sehen wirst, sollst du dem Hause Israel verkündigen!

Das Osttor zum Vorhof

5 Und siehe, es war eine Mauer außerhalb, rings um das Haus herum; und die Meßrute, welche der Mann in der Hand hatte, war sechs Ellen lang, deren jede eine [gewöhnliche] Elle und eine Handbreite betrug. Damit maß er die Breite des Baues[a]: eine Rute, und die Höhe: auch eine Rute.

6 Und er ging zu dem Tor gegen den Aufgang der Sonne und stieg dessen Stufen hinan und maß die Schwelle des Tors: eine Rute breit, und eine jede Schwelle: eine Rute breit. 7 Und eine jede Nische war eine Rute lang und eine Rute breit; und zwischen den Nischen war [ein Zwischenraum von] fünf Ellen. Und die Schwelle des Tors neben der Torhalle auf der Innenseite maß eine Rute.

8 Er maß auch die Halle des Tors nach einwärts: eine Rute. 9 Darnach maß er die Halle des Tors; acht Ellen, und ihre Pfeiler: zwei Ellen; die Halle des Tors lag nach innen zu.

10 Der Nischen des Tors gegen

Osten waren auf jeder Seite drei; alle drei hatten dasselbe Maß. 11 Darnach maß er die Breite der Toröffnung: zehn Ellen; die Länge des Torweges: dreizehn Ellen. 12 Der Raum vor den Nischen betrug eine Elle; auf der andern Seite betrug der Raum ebenfalls eine Elle. Die Nische selbst aber maß sechs Ellen auf der einen und sechs Ellen auf der andern Seite. 13 Dann maß er das Tor vom Dach einer Nische bis zum Dach der andern[b]: eine Breite von fünfundzwanzig Ellen; eine Tür der andern gegenüber. 14 Und er machte die Wandpfeiler sechzig Ellen und den Hofraum am Tor ringsum bis an die Wandpfeiler. 15 Und von der Vorderseite des Tors am Eingang bis zur Vorderseite der innern Torhalle waren es fünfzig Ellen. 16 Und vergitterte Fenster waren an den Nischen und bei ihren Pfeilern inwendig am Torbau ringsum, und ebenso hatte die Vorhalle ringsum Fenster nach innen zu, und an den Pfeilern waren Palmen.

Der vorhof

17 Und er führte mich in den äußern Vorhof, und siehe, daselbst waren Gemächer, und ein Steinpflaster war gemacht ringsherum im Vorhof; dreißig Gemächer lagen nach dem Steinpflaster zu. 18 Dieses Steinpflaster war seitlich an den Toren und entsprach der Länge der Tore: das war das untere Steinpflaster. 19 Und er maß die Breite [des Vorhofs] von der Vorderseite des untern Tores bis zur Vorderseite des äußeren Tores am innern Vorhof: hundert Ellen - gegen Osten und gegen Norden.

Das Nordtor

20 Auch das Tor am äußern Vorhof, das nach Norden schaut, maß er nach seiner Länge und Breite. 21 Es hatte drei Nischen auf der einen und drei Nischen auf der andern Seite, und seine Pfeiler und seine Vorhalle hatten dasselbe Maß wie das erste Tor; seine Länge betrug fünfzig Ellen und seine Breite fünfundzwanzig Ellen. 22 Und seine Fenster, seine Halle und seine Palmen hatten dasselbe Maß wie am Osttor; man ging auf sieben Stufen hinauf, und seine Halle lag nach innen zu. 23 Und das Tor zum innern Vorhof entsprach dem [äußern] Tor gegen Norden und dem gegen Osten. Von einem Tor zum andern maß er hundert Ellen.

Das Südtor

24 Und er führte mich in südlicher Richtung, und siehe, daselbst stand noch ein Tor gegen Mittag; dessen Pfeiler und Halle maß er und fand sie gleich wie jene. 25 Auch es hatte Fenster, und auch seine Halle hatte Fenster ringsum, den andern Fenstern gleich. Es war fünfzig Ellen lang und fünfundzwanzig Ellen breit 26 und hatte eine Treppe von sieben Stufen und eine Halle davor; die hatte auch Palmbäume, einen an diesem und einen am andern Pfeiler. 27 Und ein Tor bildete den südlichen Eingang zum innern Vorhof. Und er maß vom [äußern] Tor bis zum Tor des südlichen Eingangs: hundert Ellen.

Eingänge zum inneren Vorhof

28 Und er führte mich in den innern Vorhof durch das südliche Tor; dasselbe maß er und fand dieselben Maße. 29 Auch seine Nischen, seine Pfeiler und seine Halle hatten dieselben Maße. Und es hatte Fenster, wie auch seine Halle, ringsum, und es war fünfzig Ellen lang und fünfundzwanzig Ellen breit. 30 (Und Hallen gingen ringsum, fünfundzwanzig Ellen lang und fünf Ellen breit.) 31 Und seine Vorhalle lag gegen den äußern Vorhof zu. An seinen Pfeilern waren Palmen, und acht Stufen bildeten seinen Aufgang.

32 Und er führte mich im innern Vorhof zum Eingang gegen Osten und fand das Tor vom gleichen Ausmaß wie jenes. 33 Auch seine Nischen, Pfeiler und Halle hatten das gleiche Maß wie jene. Es hatte auch Fenster ringsum, ebenso seine Halle. Die Länge betrug fünfzig Ellen, die Breite fünfundzwanzig Ellen. 34 Seine Vorhalle lag nach dem äußern Vorhof zu; Palmen waren auf seinen Pfeilern, auf dieser und auf jener Seite, und eine Treppe von acht Stufen führte hinauf.

35 Und er führte mich zum nördlichen Tor und fand dieselben Maße. 36 Es hatte Nischen, Pfeiler, eine Halle und ringsum Fenster; seine Länge betrug fünfzig Ellen und die Breite fünfundzwanzig Ellen. 37 Und seine Vorhalle lag nach dem äußern Vorhof zu; Palmen waren an den Pfeilern zu beiden Seiten, und sieben Stufen bildeten seinen Aufgang.

Räume für den Opferdienst

38 Und ein Gemach war da, deren Tür sich an den Torpfeilern befand: daselbst wusch man das Brandopfer ab. 39 Und in der Halle des Tores standen auf beiden Seiten je zwei Tische, um auf ihnen die Brandopfer, Sündopfer und Schuldopfer zu schächten. 40 Und an der Außenseite beim Aufstieg zum Eingang des nördlichen Tores standen zwei Tische, und auf der andern Seite bei der Halle des Tores waren auch zwei Tische. 41 Vier Tische auf dieser und vier Tische auf jener Seite standen seitlich des Tores, also acht Tische, auf denen man schächtete. 42 Ferner waren da vier Tische für das Brandopfer, aus behauenen Steinen, anderthalb Ellen lang und anderthalb Ellen breit und eine Elle hoch; darauf sollte man die Geräte legen, womit man die Brandopfer und Schlachtopfer schächtete. 43 Und Ränder von einer Handbreite waren ringsum angebracht nach innen zu, und auf die Tische kam das Opferfleisch zu liegen.

Diensträume für die Priester

44 Und an der Außenseite des innern Tores, im innern Vorhof, waren Fürstengemächer[c]: eines an der Seite des Nordtores, das gegen Mittag schaut, das andere seitlich des Südtores, das gegen Mitternacht schaut. 45 Und er sprach zu mir: Dieses Gemach, das gegen Süden gerichtet ist, gehört den Priestern, welche den Tempeldienst überwachen! 46 Jenes Gemach aber, welches gegen Norden schaut, ist für die Priester bestimmt, welche den Altardienst überwachen, nämlich für die Söhne Zadoks, die von den Söhnen Levis sich dem Herrn nahen dürfen, ihm zu dienen.

47 Und er maß den Vorhof: hundert Ellen lang und hundert Ellen breit, ein Viereck; der Altar aber stand vor dem Hause.

Der Tempel

48 Und er führte mich zur Vorhalle des Hauses und maß die Pfeiler der Vorhalle, die hatten auf dieser und auf jener Seite eine Dicke von fünf Ellen. Die Breite des Toreingangs maß auf beiden Seiten drei Ellen. 49 Die Länge der Halle betrug zwanzig Ellen und die Breite elf Ellen; man stieg auf Stufen hinauf; und es standen Säulen bei den Pfeilern, eine hier, die andere dort.
