He measured the east side with the measuring reed\/rod, 500 [cubits?]\u2014in rods, by the measuring rod\u2026Thus he measured it on the four sides; it had a wall completely surrounding it, 500 long on each side, to separate the consecrated from the unconsecrated (verse 16 and 20).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Temple was very large. But how large was it? Rashi believes the dimensions of the Temple were measured in reeds that were each six cubits (<\/span>amot<\/span><\/i>)<\/span> long. That would make the dimensions of the Third Temple 3000 cubits (about 1500 meters). Rashi bases this reading on Eliezar HaKalir\u2019s poem from the second day of Sukkot. The poet writes that \u201cThe Beloved will stretch out a line of three thousand cubits limited by three thousand cubits\u201d. This makes this Temple 36 times the size of the original Temple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Radak, on the other hand, explains that these reeds were equal to one cubit each. This would make the dimensions 500 cubits. In 45:2, Radak reiterates this measurement based on the verse there that does not mention reeds, but mentions 500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Of this, a square measuring a full 500 by 500 shall be reserved for the Sanctuary, and 50 cubits for an open space all around it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rashi, on the other hand, explains 45:2 to mean 500 reeds, with the word reed understood. In the description of the original Temple in I Kings 6, the measurements are given in cubits. This could be why Rashi sees \u201creeds\u201d as a different dimension than cubits. If it was the same, then the text should have just said cubits.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rabbinic literature is famous for the way in which it melds the axiological and the practical, even subsuming the former in the latter. Rather than making explicit theological statements, a rabbinic text will usually focus on a concrete issue of law or practice. For the careful interpreter, however, a legal ruling is rarely <\/span>just<\/span><\/em> a legal ruling \u2014 more often than not, the theology of the Rabbis is discoverable there, just beneath the surface of a seemingly mundane question.This tendency to embed the theoretical within the practical has its origins in the Bible, and a good example is to be found in our chapter for today.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The prophet Ezekiel was also a priest, and his book shows a close connection to those parts of the Torah which are particularly concerned with the priestly caste and their service in the Temple. At the end of the 42nd chapter \u2014 which is given over to a minute description of the physical layout of the future Temple \u2014 we find the following: \u201cThus he measured it on the four sides; it had a wall completely surrounding it, 500 [cubits] long on each side, <\/span>to separate the consecrated from the unconsecrated<\/span><\/em>\u201d (42:20).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The final phrase is something like the motto of the priests. An almost identical formulation occurs in Book of Leviticus after the death of Aaron\u2019s sons, when the priestly vocation is summed up thus: \u201cThis is a law for all time throughout the ages, you must distinguish between the sacred and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean; and you must teach the Israelites all the laws which the LORD has imparted to them through Moses\u201d (Leviticus 10:10, with parallels in Leviticus 11 and 20). According to this theology, the act of making distinctions is in some sense constitutive of holiness. For Ezekiel, it is expressed in the very stones of the Temple compound.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This priestly ethos of division has had a profound impact on the history of Jewish thought \u2014 the formula from Leviticus 10, quoted by Ezekiel, forms the basis of the <\/span>havdalah<\/em> <\/span>blessing with which we end the Sabbath, and as the text from Leviticus 20 emphasizes, Jewish self-identity is closely tied to the idea of being separated out from the nations of the world. Many interpreters, Jewish and non-Jewish, have asked challenging questions: is it possible to believe in the inherent importance of separation without attributing differences in value? Does the idea of a chosen people necessarily imply supremacy?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It is notable however that this particular affirmation of <\/span>havdalah<\/span><\/em> occurs in the book of a prophet who at other moments voices some of the most radically universal sentiments to be found in the Bible \u2014 in his treatment of individual responsibility, for instance, and his vision of foreigners integrating into the tribal structure of Israel. For Ezekiel, apparently, these values were not necessarily incompatible. Perhaps for us as well they need not be.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I love attending Jewish meditation retreats. I experience them as holy spaces, offering me the chance to slow down and get in touch with myself and God more deeply.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At the end of most retreats, participants are reminded to be gentle with ourselves and others while reentering the world. We are much more open and sensitive than usual and this may impact our relationships with others.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The instructions given to Ezekiel in Chapter 41 regarding how priests should behave inside and outside the inner court remind me of my transitions from retreats back into normal life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Verse 14 states, \u201cWhen the priests enter, they shall not proceed from the consecrated place to the outer court without first leaving here the vestments in which they minister; for the [vestments] are consecrated. Before proceeding to the area open to the people, they shall put on other garments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When the priests are in the areas where sacrifices are offered and eaten, they wear one set of garments. These garments have been consecrated for temple use only. When they leave those areas to go to the outer court where there are non-priests, they must change their clothes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The first time I read this verse, I assumed that the reason they had to change their clothes was because the people they encountered might desecrate their sacred garments. However, the actual reason is just the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ezekiel 44:19 describes how \u201cWhen they [the priests] go out to the outer court\u2014the outer court where the people are\u2014they shall remove the vestments in which they minister and shall deposit them in the sacred chambers; they shall put on other garments, lest they make the people consecrated by [contact with] their vestments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The issue is not that the people will desecrate the priestly garments, but instead that the garments will consecrate the people. NJPS helpfully explains in a note that these consecrated garments would make the people who touched them \u201cunfit for ordinary activity.\u201d The people would be dedicated to the temple, unable to go about their normal lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Attending Jewish meditation retreats is an important part of my spiritual life, but I cannot live in that retreat space forever. I must always be intentional about transitioning from this holy time\/space back into normal life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This lesson from Ezekiel does not just apply to retreats, but also to Shabbat. We must enjoy the holiness of Shabbat, clothing ourselves in its light as we get a taste of the world to come. However, when Shabbat ends, we must change clothes as we transition back to our everyday lives in this world.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In our remarks on Chapter 40, we took note of Rashi\u2019s admission that he found Ezekiel\u2019s visions of the Temple particularly perplexing. We cited his commentary to v.3 of this chapter to the effect that: \u201cI was unable to understand these three verses at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just as puzzling, perhaps, is the standard (<\/span>Mikra\u2019ot Gedolot<\/span><\/em>) text of Rashi\u2019s commentary to the last nine chapters, so much so that a special study was devoted to its text in the form of a doctoral dissertation at Dropsie College in Philadelphia almost a century ago (Abraham J. Levy: Rashi\u2019s Commentary on Ezekiel 40-48, 1931), edited on the basis of 11 manuscripts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In some of these manuscripts (and in certain early printed editions as well) the comment we just cited from 42:3 is followed by a most incredible remark: \u201cAs for me, I had neither a teacher nor an assistant throughout this edifice [i.e., Ezekiel\u2019s Temple]; rather it is as though it was shown to me from heaven.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Methodologically, this statement needs to be parsed in two distinct ways. First, is it genuinely Rashi\u2019s, and, second, what does it mean? The first question is quite complicated. While there are several hundred manuscripts extant of Rashi\u2019s Bible commentary (in whole or in part), none has ever been identified as having been written in his own lifetime, let alone by his own hand. Furthermore, the popularity it gained earned it the sincerest form of flattery: imitation, and significant portions of the commentaries of some of his students and colleagues (e.g., Rashbam, Yosef Kara) are so like his that they were often interchanged by copyists\u2014and if not by copyists, then by printers. Indeed, the <\/span>Mikra\u2019ot Gedolot<\/span><\/em> text of Rashi to this chapter (among others) even contains several comments that are introduced by the words: \u201cAs Rashi explained,\u201d an unambiguous sign that later hands tampered with the Master\u2019s text.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Regarding the second question: What does it mean to get direction \u201cfrom heaven\u201d? A clue may come from an early 13<\/span>th<\/span> century collection of responsa by one of the Tosafists that was entitled: \u201cQuestions and Answers from Heaven\u201d (<\/span>she\u2019elot uteshuvot min hashamayim<\/span><\/em>). This may well signify that medieval Jewish scholars, among them Rashi, referred to inspiration, figuratively, as heavenly guidance. A more literal interpretation, however, may well have led to the folk adage that Rashi was imbued with \u201cthe Holy Spirit\u201d (<\/span>ru`ach hakodesh<\/span><\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  1. Close and closer<\/em>. Who are the ones serving in sanctity that make use of the chambers? \u201cThe priests who have access to the LORD\u201d (verse 13). Apparently not all the priests were the same status. The same thing was expressed in chapter 40. There we met \u201cthe priests who perform the duties of the altar\u2014they are the descendants of Zadok, who alone of the descendants of Levi may approach the LORD to minister to Him\u201d (40:46).<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Sanctity and separation<\/em>. The system of walls, steps and gates is designed to create a separation between holy and profane, \u201cto separate the consecrated from the unconsecrated\u201d (verse 20), and between different consecrated realms. This isn\u2019t just a building, it\u2019s a worldview.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Inner, and outer<\/em>. The Temple is the main thing. But in a vision of 87 verses (chs. 40-42), only 23 verses describe it directly. All the rest give a detailed description of the outer elements: the gates, the courtyards, the outer chambers. What should we deduce from that?<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Everything is ready<\/em>. At least in the vision - the Temple is prepared. What\u2019s missing? Patience - it\u2019s in the next chapter.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","post_main_content_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to ponder","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","post_full_size-width":1000,"post_full_size-height":1000,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-420x420.jpg","home_baner-width":420,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"Ezekiel 42","tile_main_caption":"Points to Ponder","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Insights and questions for personal reflection and group discussion","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to ponder","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","post_full_size-width":1000,"post_full_size-height":1000,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-420x420.jpg","home_baner-width":420,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Ezekiel","chapter":"42","chapter_main_number":"494","date":"20270721","wall_id":"494"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":false}],"hide_acf":true,"home_image":false,"home_posts":false,"home_posts_title":"","posts_home":[],"static_cube_title":"","static_cube_brief":"","static_cube_color":"","link_teaser":"","listen_link":"","other_title":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wall\/75420"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wall"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wall"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
