Ezequiel 40

A restauração do templo: os átrios e os vestíbulos

1 *Ez 32.1,17;33.21No ano vinte e cinco do *Ez 1.2nosso cativeiro, no princípio do ano, no décimo dia do mês, no ano quatorze depois que a *Ez 33.21;2Rs 25.1-7;Jr 39.1-9;52.4-11cidade foi ferida, nesse mesmo dia, veio sobre mim a *Ez 1.3;3.14,22;37.1mão de Jeová, e ele me levou para lá. 2 Em *Ez 1.1;8.3;Dn 7.1,7visões de Deus, me levou à terra de Israel e me pôs sobre um *Ez 17.23;20.40;37.22;Is 2.2-3;Mq 4.1;Ap 21.10monte mui alto, sobre o qual estava um como *1Cr 28.12,19edifício de cidade *Sl 48.2;Is 14.13para a banda do sul. 3 Ele me levou para lá, e eis um homem cujo parecer era como o parecer de *Ez 1.7;Dn 10.5-6;Ap 1.15cobre. Ele tinha na mão um *Ez 47.3;Zc 2.1-2cordel de linho e uma *Ap 11.1;21.15cana de medir e estava de pé na porta. 4 Disse-me o homem: *Ez 2.1,3,6,8;44.5Filho do homem, *Ez 2.7-8;43.10;44.5vê com os teus olhos, e ouve com os teus ouvidos, e aplica o teu coração a tudo quanto eu te hei de mostrar, pois, para eu to mostrar, foste para aqui trazido. *Is 21.10;Jr 26.2;At 20.27Anuncia à casa de Israel tudo quanto estás vendo.

5 Eis um *Ez 42.20muro ao redor da casa do lado de fora, e, na mão do homem, uma *Ez 40.3cana de medir de seis cúbitos de comprimento, tendo cada cúbito um cúbito e um palmo. Ele mediu a largura do edifício: era uma cana; e a altura: uma cana. 6 Então, veio à porta que olha para o *Ez 40.20;Ez 8.16;11.1;43.1oriente e subiu pelos seus *Ez 40.26degraus; mediu *Ez 10.18o limiar da porta: era uma cana de largo; e o outro limiar: uma cana de largo. 7 Cada *Ez 40.10-16,21,29,33,36;1Rs 14.28;2Cr 12.11câmara tinha uma cana de comprido e uma cana de largo; o espaço entre as câmaras era de cinco cúbitos, e o limiar da porta junto ao vestíbulo da porta, para a banda da casa, tinha uma cana. 8 Também mediu o vestíbulo da porta em direção da casa: era uma cana. 9 Então, mediu o vestíbulo da porta: era de oito cúbitos; e as suas ombreiras: de dois cúbitos. O vestíbulo da porta olha para a casa. 10 *Ez 40.7As câmaras da porta para a banda do oriente eram três duma parte, e três da outra, que tinham uma só medida: e as ombreiras tinham uma só medida duma e da outra parte. 11 Mediu a largura da entrada da porta: era de dez cúbitos; o comprimento da porta: de treze cúbitos; 12 diante das câmaras, uma margem dum cúbito numa parte, e uma margem dum cúbito na outra parte: e as câmaras, de seis cúbitos duma parte e da outra. 13 Mediu a porta desde o telhado duma câmara até o telhado da outra: largura de vinte e cinco cúbitos; porta defronte de porta. 14 Também fez *Ez 40.9,16ombreiras, de sessenta cúbitos; e, junto às ombreiras estava *Ez 8.7;42.1;Êx 27.9;1Cr 28.6;Sl 100.4;Is 62.9o átrio ao redor da porta. 15 Desde a dianteira da porta junto à entrada até a dianteira do vestíbulo interior da porta havia cinquenta cúbitos. 16 Havia *Ez 41.16,26;1Rs 6.4janelas fechadas para as câmaras e para as suas ombreiras dentro da porta ao redor e também para o *Ez 40.21-22, etc.vestíbulo (havia janelas ao redor do lado de dentro) *Ez 40.22,26,31,34,37;Ez 41.18-20,25-26;1Rs 6.29,32,35;2Cr 3.5e palmeiras em cada ombreira.

17 Então, ele me levou *Ez 10.5;42.1;46.21;Ap 11.2ao átrio exterior, e eis que ali havia *Ez 40.38;2Rs 23.11;1Cr 9.26;23.28;2Cr 31.11câmaras e um pavimento, feitos para o átrio ao redor; no pavimento, havia *Ez 41.6;45.5trinta câmaras. 18 O pavimento, isto é, o pavimento inferior, corria junto às portas, segundo o comprimento das portas. 19 Então, mediu a largura desde a dianteira da *Ez 40.23,27;Ez 46.1-2porta inferior até a dianteira do átrio inferior por fora: *Ez 40.23,27cem cúbitos, tanto do oriente como do norte.

20 A *Ez 40.6porta do átrio exterior que olha para o norte, dela mediu ele o comprimento e a largura. 21 *Ez 40.7As suas câmaras eram três duma parte e três da outra; as suas ombreiras e o seu *Ez 40.16,30vestíbulo eram segundo a medida da primeira porta; *Ez 40.15cinquenta cúbitos era o seu comprimento, e *Ez 40.13vinte e cinco a sua largura. 22 As *Ez 40.16suas janelas, e o seu vestíbulo, e as suas palmeiras eram segundo a medida da *Ez 40.6porta que olha para o oriente; subiam a ela por sete *Ez 40.6,26,31,34,37,49degraus; e o seu vestíbulo ficava diante deles. 23 Havia uma porta para o átrio interior defronte da porta, tanto do norte como do oriente; e mediu de porta a porta *Ez 40.19,27cem cúbitos.

24 Então, ele me levou para o sul, e eis uma porta que olha para *Ez 40.6,20,35;Ez 46.9o sul; e mediu-lhe as *Ez 40.21ombreiras e o vestíbulo conforme estas medidas. 25 Nela, havia *Ez 40.16,22,29janelas e no seu vestíbulo, como aquelas; *Ez 40.21,33cinquenta cúbitos era o seu comprimento, e vinte e cinco cúbitos, a sua largura. 26 Subia-se a ela por sete *Ez 40.6,22degraus, e o seu vestíbulo era diante deles; tinha nas suas ombreiras *Ez 40.16palmeiras, uma duma parte, outra da outra. 27 Havia uma porta para o átrio interior que olha para o *Ez 40.23,32sul; e mediu de porta a porta para o sul: *Ez 40.19,23cem cúbitos.

28 Então, ele me levou ao átrio interior junto à porta do sul; e mediu a porta do sul *Ez 40.32,35conforme essas medidas; 29 também as *Ez 40.7,10,21câmaras dela, e as suas ombreiras e o seu *Ez 40.16,22,25vestíbulo, conforme essas medidas. Nela, havia janelas e no seu vestíbulo ao redor; *Ez 40.21cinquenta cúbitos era o seu comprimento, e vinte e cinco cúbitos, a sua largura. 30 Havia um *Ez 40.16,21vestíbulo ao redor, que tinha vinte e cinco cúbitos de comprimento e cinco cúbitos de largura. 31 O seu vestíbulo olha para o átrio exterior, tinha *Ez 40.16palmeiras nas suas ombreiras e subia-se a ela por oito *Ez 40.22,26,34,37degraus.

32 Introduziu-me no *Ez 40.28-31,35átrio interior que olha para o oriente; e mediu a porta *Ez 40.28conforme essas medidas; 33 também *Ez 40.29as câmaras dela, e as suas ombreiras, e o seu vestíbulo, conforme essas medidas. Nela, havia *Ez 40.16janelas e no seu vestíbulo ao redor; *Ez 40.21cinquenta cúbitos era o seu comprimento, e vinte e cinco cúbitos a sua largura. 34 O seu vestíbulo olha para o átrio exterior, tinha nas suas ombreiras palmeiras, uma duma parte, outra da outra, e subia-se a ela por oito *Ez 40.22,37degraus.

35 Levou-me à *Ez 40.27,32;Ez 44.4;47.2porta do norte e mediu-a conforme essas medidas; 36 também as *Ez 40.7,29câmaras dela, as suas ombreiras, o seu *Ez 40.16vestíbulo e as suas janelas ao redor; *Ez 40.21cinquenta cúbitos era o seu comprimento, e vinte e cinco cúbitos, a sua largura. 37 As suas ombreiras olham para o átrio exterior, tinha nas suas ombreiras palmeiras, uma duma parte, outra da outra, e subia-se a ela por oito *Ez 40.35degraus.

38 Havia uma *Ez 40.17;Ez 41.10;42.13;1Cr 28.12;Ne 13.5,9;Jr 35.4;36.10câmara com a sua entrada junto às ombreiras perto das portas; *2Cr 4.6ali, lavavam eles o holocausto. 39 No vestíbulo da porta, havia duas *Ez 40.42mesas duma parte, e duas mesas da outra, para nelas se imolarem o *Ez 46.2;Lv 1.3-17holocausto, e a oferta pelo pecado, e a oferta pela culpa. 40 Dum lado da banda de fora de quem sobe à entrada da porta que olha para o norte, havia duas mesas; e, do outro lado, que pertencia ao vestíbulo da porta havia duas mesas. 41 Havia quatro *Ez 40.39-40mesas duma parte, e quatro mesas da outra, junto à porta: oito mesas sobre as quais imolavam os sacrifícios. 42 Para o holocausto, havia *Ez 40.39quatro mesas de *Êx 20.25pedras lavradas, dum cúbito e meio de comprido, dum cúbito e meio de largo, e dum cúbito de altura, sobre as quais punham os instrumentos com que imolavam o *Ez 40.39holocausto e o sacrifício. 43 Os ganchos, dum palmo de comprido, estavam fixados por dentro ao redor; e sobre as mesas estava a carne da oblação.

44 Fora da *Ez 40.23,27porta interior estavam *Ez 40.17,38câmaras para os *1Cr 6.31-32;16.41-43;25.1-7cantores no átrio interior, que estava ao lado da porta do norte. Elas olham para o sul; uma delas, ao lado da porta oriental, olha para o norte. 45 Ele disse-me: Esta câmara que olha para o sul é para os sacerdotes *1Cr 9.23;Sl 134.1que têm a guarda do templo. 46 A câmara que olha para o norte é para os sacerdotes *Ez 44.15;Lv 6.12-13que têm a guarda do altar; estes são os *Ez 43.19;44.15;48.11;1Rs 2.35filhos de Zadoque, os quais dentre os filhos de Levi se chegam a Jeová para o *Ez 42.13;45.4;Lv 10.3;Nm 16.5,40servirem. 47 Ele mediu o átrio, que tinha cem cúbitos de comprimento e *Ez 40.19,23,27cem cúbitos de largura, em quadro; o altar estava diante do templo.

48 Então, me levou ao *1Rs 6.3;2Cr 3.4vestíbulo do templo e mediu cada ombreira do vestíbulo: cinco cúbitos duma parte e cinco da outra; e a largura da porta era de três cúbitos duma parte, e de três cúbitos da outra. 49 O comprimento do vestíbulo era de vinte cúbitos, e a largura: de onze cúbitos, *Ez 40.31,34,37junto aos degraus pelos quais subiam a ele. Havia *1Rs 7.15-21;2Cr 3.17;Jr 52.17-23;Ap 3.12colunas junto às ombreiras, uma duma parte, e outra da outra.

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me there. 2 In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south. 3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. 4 The man said to me, "Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel."

5 Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits*40:5 A normal cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. A handbreadth is about 4.3 inches or 11 centimeters, so the long cubit described here would be about 22.3 inches or 57 centimeters long. Thus, a 6 long cubit measuring reed would have been about 3 yards 26.6 inches or about 3.42 meters long. long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

6 Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide. 7 Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed. 9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

10 The side rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side. 11 He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; 12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the side rooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door. 14 He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate. 15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits. 16 There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement. 18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the width from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.

20 He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces toward the north. 21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits. 22 Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces toward the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before them. 23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.

24 He led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements. 25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits. 26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts. 27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate toward the south.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate according to these measurements; 29 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide. 30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide. 31 Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.

32 He brought me into the inner court toward the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements; 33 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide. 34 Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.

35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements— 36 its lodges, its posts, and its arches. There were windows in it all around. The length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits. 37 Its posts were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.

38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there. 39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. 40 On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices. 42 There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them. 43 The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.

44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced toward the south. One at the side of the east gate faced toward the north. 45 He said to me, "This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house. 46 The room which faces toward the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him." 47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side. 49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
