entrance, entry (to the temple)
This rare term denotes an entrance or entryway, appearing only in Ezekiel's temple vision where the prophet sees an image at "the entrance" that provokes divine jealousy. The prepositional form suggests a specific architectural feature of the temple complex. Translations render it variously as "at the entrance" or "in the entry," emphasizing the spatial location where idolatrous imagery had been placed.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Refers to the physical entrance or gateway to the Jerusalem temple in Ezekiel 8:5. The context is liturgical-architectural: the prophet sees an offensive image positioned at this entry point. The multilingual evidence (Spanish "en-la-entrada," French "dans-elle-est-venue") confirms the locational sense, though the single occurrence makes semantic boundaries uncertain. 1×
