The Key Word יָצָא, yatsa'generated

The verb יָצָא (yatsa') means to go out or come out, indicating movement from one place to another. In this verse, it is used in the Hiphil form, meaning that someone else is causing the action — in this case, the man is leading Ezekiel out.

This word can convey various actions, such as departing, escaping, or emerging, and it applies to both animate and inanimate subjects. The context here highlights the transition from the inner sanctuary to the outer court, marking a significant movement in Ezekiel's vision.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

All translations agree on the basic meaning of the verse, describing Ezekiel being led out to the outer court and the chambers opposite the temple.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is יָצָא, he brought out, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a prepositional phrase indicating direction and several noun phrases that describe the locations and objects involved.

The structure emphasizes the action of leading Ezekiel out and the specific locations he is brought to, illustrating the detailed nature of the vision.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint uses the Greek word ἐξάγω to translate יָצָא, which also means to lead out. This choice maintains the sense of movement from one area to another, similar to the Hebrew.

The translation reflects a direct correspondence to the action of being brought out, preserving the original intent of the Hebrew text.

XLII. This chapter describes what is not only new in this vision, but also unknown in either the former or the later Temple. Ezekiel 42:1-14 are occupied with the account of certain chambers for the priests adjoining the inner court, but actually within the area of the outer. From Ezekiel 42:14 it is plain that these chambers, although thus situated in the outer court, were considered for ecclesiastical purposes as belonging to the inner. Ezekiel 42:15-20 describe a very large area enclosing the Temple and its courts as an additional safeguard to its sanctity. (1) Utter court.—Outer court (see Note on 40:31).

1–12. The chambers in the inner court. In the inner court on the two sides N. and S. of the house or temple proper were erected blocks of cells for the use of the priests, where they ate the holy things and deposited their sacred garments. They are those referred to Ezekiel 41:10. The block on the N. side is fully described (Ezekiel 42:1-9), and that on the S. of the house is said to be similar in all respects (Ezekiel 42:10-12). The block on the N. extended from the “separate place” to the N. wall of the inner court, a breadth of 50 cubits, all the space available. The block of cells had two wings, one 100 cubits long running along the “separate place,” Fig. 3, G, the other 50 cubits long…

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

See EAST. The Babylonians and Assyrians are represented as coming from "the north," because they invaded Israel by a northern route in order to avoid the desert, Jer 1:14 46:6,24 Zep 2:13. "Fair weather," says Job, or golden weather, "cometh out of the north," Job 37:22. This is as true in Syria and Arabia now as it was three thousand years ago. A traveler there remarks, "Our friends, who have been long residents, informed us that we should have fair weather for our start on the morrow, as the wind was from the north."

See EAST. The Babylonians and Assyrians are represented as coming from "the north," because they invaded Israel by a northern route in order to avoid the desert, Jer 1:14 46:6,24 Zep 2:13.

A traveler there remarks, "Our friends, who have been long residents, informed us that we should have fair weather for our start on the morrow, as the wind was from the north."

"... And so we have found it come to pass that the clouds of a golden hue always followed upon a north wind, and indicated a clear day; and as in the times of the Savior, we could always say when it was evening…
