PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)

1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμῶν, ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ, δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐν τῷ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει μετὰ τὸ ἁλῶναι τὴν πόλιν, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ ἐμὲ χεὶρ Κυρίου,

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 καὶ ἤγαγέ με ἐν ὁράσει Θεοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔθηκέ με ἐπʼ ὄρος ὑψηλὸν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ὡσεὶ οἰκοδομὴ πόλεως ἀπέναντι,

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 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ, καὶ ἡ ὅρασις αὐτοῦ ἦν ὡσεὶ ὅρασις χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἦν σπαρτίον οἰκοδόμων, καὶ κάλαμος μέτρον, καὶ αὐτὸς εἱστήκει ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης.

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 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ, Ὃν ἑώρακας υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἴδε, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὠσί σου ἄκουε, καὶ τάξον εἰς τὴν καρδίαν σου πάντα ὅσα ἐγὼ δεικνύω σοι, διότι ἕνεκα τοῦ δεῖξαί σοι εἰσελήλυθας ὧδε, καὶ δείξεις πάντα ὅσα σὺ ὁρᾷς τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

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 Καὶ ἰδοὺ περίβολος ἔξωθεν τοῦ οἴκου κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς κάλαμος, τὸ μέτρον πηχῶν ἓξ ἐν πήχει καὶ παλαιστῆς· καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ προτείχισμα, πλάτος ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ.

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 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 Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς ἐν ἑπτὰ ἀναβαθμοῖς, καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ·

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 Καὶ τὸ θεὲ ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ μῆκος, καὶ ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ πλάτος, καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ ἀναμέσον τοῦ θεηλὰθ πηχῶν ἕξ· καὶ τὸ θεὲ τὸ δεύτερον, ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ πλάτος, καὶ ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ μῆκος, καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ πηχέων πέντε·

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 Καὶ τὸ θεὲ τὸ τρίτον, ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ μῆκος, καὶ ἶσον τῷ καλάμῳ πλάτος.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

9 Καὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ τοῦ πυλῶνος, πλησίον τοῦ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης πηχῶν ὀκτὼ, καὶ τὰ αἰλεῦ πηχῶν δύο· καὶ τὰ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης ἔσωθεν,

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 καὶ τὰ θεὲ τῆς πύλης τοῦ θεὲ κατέναντι, τρεῖς ἔνθεν καὶ τρεῖς ἔνθεν, καὶ μέτρον ἓν τοῖς τρισί· μέτρον ἓν τοῖς αἰλὰμ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν.

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 Καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ πλάτος τῆς θύρας τοῦ πυλῶνος πηχῶν δέκα, καὶ τὸ εὖρος τοῦ πυλῶνος πηχῶν δεκατριῶν.

11 He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

12 Καὶ πῆχυς ἐπισυναγόμενος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῶν θεεὶμ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, καὶ τὸ θεὲ πηχῶν ἓξ ἔνθεν καὶ πηχῶν ἓξ ἔνθεν.

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 Καὶ διεμέτρησε τὴν πύλην ἀπὸ τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ θεὲ ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον τοῦ θεὲ, πλάτος πήχεις εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε· αὕτη πύλη ἐπὶ πύλην.

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 Καὶ τὸ αἴθριον τοῦ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης ἔξωθεν, πήχεις εἴκοσι θεεὶμ τῆς πύλης κύκλῳ.

14 He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.

15 Καὶ τὸ αἴθριον τῆς πύλης ἔξωθεν, εἰς τὸ αἴθριον αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης ἔσωθεν πηχῶν πεντήκοντα.

15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

16 Καὶ θυρίδες κρυπταὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θεεὶμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ αἰλὰμ ἔσωθεν τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς κυκλόθεν· καὶ ὡσαύτως τοῖς αἰλὰμ θυρίδας κύκλῳ ἔσωθεν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ αἰλὰμ φοίνικες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν.

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 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν, καὶ ἰδοὺ παστοφόρια, καὶ περίστυλα κύκλῳ τῆς αὐλῆς, τριάκοντα παστοφόρια ἐν τοῖς περιστύλοις,

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 καὶ αἱ στοαὶ κατὰ νώτου τῶν πυλῶν κατὰ τὸ μῆκος τῶν πυλῶν τὸ περίστυλον τὸ ὑποκάτω.

18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

19 Καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ πλάτος τῆς αὐλῆς, ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰθρίου τῆς πύλης τῆς ἐξωτέρας ἔσωθεν ἐπὶ τὸ αἴθριον τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης ἔξω, πήχεις ἑκατὸν τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ἤγαγέ με ἐπὶ Βοῤῥᾶν,

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 καὶ ἰδοὺ πύλη βλέπουσα πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐξωτέρᾳ, καὶ διεμέτρησεν αὐτὴν, τό, τε μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ πλάτος,

20 He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces toward the north.

21 καὶ τὸ θεὲ τρεῖς ἔνθεν καὶ τρεῖς ἔνθεν, καὶ τὸ αἰλεῦ, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν, καὶ τοὺς φοίνικας αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐγένετο κατὰ τὰ μέτρα τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, πηχῶν πεντήκοντα τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς, καὶ πηχῶν εἰκοσιπέντε τὸ εὖρος αὐτῆς·

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 Καὶ αἱ θυρίδες αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν, καὶ οἱ φοίνικες αὐτῆς καθὼς ἡ πύλη ἡ βλέπουσα κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ἐν ἑπτὰ κλημακτῆρσιν ἀνέβαινον ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν ἔσωθεν·

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 Καὶ πύλη τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ βλέπουσα ἐπὶ πύλην τοῦ Βοῤῥᾶ, ὃν τρόπον τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ διεμέτρησε τὴν αὐλὴν ἀπὸ πύλης ἐπὶ πύλην, πήχεις ἑκατόν.

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 Καὶ ἤγαγέ με κατὰ Νότον, καὶ ἰδοὺ πύλη βλέπουσα πρὸς Νότον, καὶ διεμέτρησεν αὐτὴν, καὶ τὰ θεὲ, καὶ τὰ αἰλεῦ, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν, κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ταῦτα.

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 Καὶ αἱ θυρίδες αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν κυκλόθεν, καθὼς αἱ θυρίδες τοῦ αἰλὰμ, πηχῶν πεντήκοντα τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς, καὶ πηχῶν εἰκοσιπέντε τὸ εὖρος αὐτῆς,

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 καὶ ἑπτὰ κλημακτῆρες αὐτῇ, καὶ αἰλαμμὼν ἔσωθεν, καὶ φοίνικες αὐτῇ, εἷς ἔνθεν καὶ εἷς ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τὰ αἰλεῦ.

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 Καὶ πύλη κατέναντι τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας πρὸς Νότον, καὶ διεμέτρησε τὴν αὐλὴν ἀπὸ πύλης ἐπὶ πύλην, πήχεις ἑκατὸν τὸ εὖρος πρὸς Νότον.

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 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Νότον, καὶ διεμέτρησε τὴν πύλην κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ταῦτα,

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate according to these measurements;

29 καὶ τὰ θεὲ, καὶ τὰ αἰλεῦ, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ταῦτα, καὶ θυρίδες αὐτῇ, καὶ τῷ αἰλαμμὼν κύκλῳ, πήχεις πεντήκοντα τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς,

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 καὶ τὸ εὖρος πήχεις εἰκοσιπέντε τοῦ αἰλὰμ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, καὶ φοίνικες τῷ αἰλεῦ, καὶ ὀκτὼ κλημακτῆρες.

31 Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.

32 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, καὶ διεμέτρησεν αὐτὴν κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ταῦτα,

32 He brought me into the inner court toward the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements;

33 καὶ τὰ θεὲ, καὶ τὰ αἰλεῦ, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ταῦτα, καὶ θυρίδες αὐτῇ καὶ αἰλαμμὼν κύκλῳ πήχεις πεντήκοντα μῆκος αὐτῆς, καὶ εὖρος αὐτῆς πήχεις εἰκοσιπέντε.

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 Καὶ αἰλαμμὼν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν, καὶ φοίνικες ἐπὶ τοῦ αἰλεῦ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, καὶ ὀκτὼ κλημακτῆρες αὐτῇ.

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 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν πύλην τὴν πρὸς βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ διεμέτρησε κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ταῦτα,

35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements—

36 καὶ τὰ θεὲ, καὶ τὰ αἰλεῦ, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν, καὶ θυρίδες αὐτῇ κύκλῳ, καὶ τὸ αἰλαμμὼν αὐτῆς, πήχεις πεντήκοντα μῆκος αὐτῆς, καὶ εὖρος πήχεις εἰκοσιπέντε·

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 Καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, καὶ φοίνικες τῷ αἰλεῦ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, καὶ ὀκτὼ κλημακτῆρες αὐτῇ.

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 Τὰ παστοφόρια αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ αἰλαμμὼν αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης τῆς δευτέρας ἔκρυσις,

38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there.

39 ὅπως σφάζωσιν ἐν αὐτῇ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας.

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 Καὶ κατὰ νώτου τοῦ ῥύακος τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, δύο τράπεζαι πρὸς ἀνατολὰς κατὰ νώτου τῆς δευτέρας, καὶ τοῦ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης δύο τράπεζαι κατὰ ἀνατολάς.

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 Τέσσαρες ἔνθεν, καὶ τέσσαρες ἔνθεν κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης, ἐπʼ αὐτὰς σφάζουσι τὰ θύματα· κατέναντι τῶν ὀκτὼ τραπεζῶν τῶν θυμάτων.

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 Καὶ τέσσαρες τράπεζαι τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων λίθιναι λελαξευμέναι, πήχεως καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ πλάτος, καὶ πήχεων δύο ἡμίσους τὸ μῆκος, καὶ ἐπὶ πῆχυν τὸ ὕψος· ἐπʼ αὐτὰ ἐπιθήσουσι τὰ σκεύη, ἑν οἷς σφάζουσιν ἐκεῖ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ θύματα.

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 Καὶ παλαιστὴν ἕξουσι γεῖσος λελαξευμένον ἔσωθεν κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τραπέζας ἐπάνωθεν στέγας, τοῦ καλύπτεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑετοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ξηρασίας.

43 The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.

44 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν· καὶ ἰδοὺ δύο ἐξέδραι ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ, μία κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, φέρουσα πρὸς Νότον, καὶ μία κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Νότον, βλεπούσης δὲ πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν.

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 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἡ ἐξέδρα αὕτη ἡ βλέπουσα πρὸς Νότον, τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ οἴκου,

45 He said to me, “This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house.

46 καὶ ἡ ἐξέδρα ἡ βλέπουσα πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου· ἐκεῖνοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Σαδδοὺκ, οἱ ἐγγίζοντες ἐκ τοῦ Λευὶ πρὸς Κύριον, λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ.

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 Καὶ διεμέτρησε τὴν αὐλὴν, μῆκος πηχῶν ἑκατὸν, καὶ εὖρος πήχεις ἑκατὸν, ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἀπέναντι τοῦ οἴκου.

47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.

48 Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὸ αἰλὰμ τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ αἲλ τοῦ αἰλὰμ πηχῶν πέντε τὸ πλάτος ἔνθεν, καὶ πηχῶν πέντε ἔνθεν, καὶ τὸ εὖρος τοῦ θυρώματος πηχῶν δεκατεσσάρων, καὶ ἐπωμίδες τῆς θύρας τοῦ αἰλὰμ πηχῶν τριῶν ἔνθεν, καὶ πηχῶν τριῶν ἔνθεν.

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 Καὶ τὸ μῆκος τοῦ αἰλὰμ πηχῶν εἴκοσι, καὶ τὸ εὖρος πηχῶν δώδεκα· καὶ ἐπὶ δέκα ἀναβαθμῶν ἀνέβαινον ἐπʼ αὐτὸ, καὶ στύλοι ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αἰλάμ, εἷς ἔνθεν καὶ εἷς ἔνθεν.

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.
