< Ezekiel 41 >
1 And he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
And he brought me into the temple, the porch of which he measured, six cubits the breadth on one side, and six cubits the breadth of the porch on the other side.
2 And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits. And the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. And he measured the length of it, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
And the breadth of the gateway was ten cubits, and the side-pieces of the gateway were five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length of it, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3 Then he went inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits, and the entrance, six cubits, and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
And he went into the inner court, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the side-pieces of the door, seven cubits on one side, and seven cubits on the other side.
4 And he measured the length of it, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple. And he said to me, This is the most holy place.
And he measured the length of the doors, forty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, in front of the temple: and he said, This is the holy of holies.
5 Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits, and the breadth of every side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits: and the breadth of [each] side, four cubits round about.
6 And the side-chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order. And they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side-chambers round about, that they might be attached to it, and not be attached to the wall of the house.
And the sides were twice ninety, side against side; and [there was] a space in the wall of the house at the sides round about, that they should be for them that take hold of them to see, that they should not at all touch the walls of the house.
7 And the side-chambers were broader as they circled the house higher and higher, for the circling of the house went higher and higher round about the house. Therefore the breadth of the house continued upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber.
And the breadth of the upper side [was made] according to the projection out of the wall, against the upper one round about the house, that it might be enlarged above, and that [men] might go up to the upper chambers from those below, and from the ground-sills to the third story.
8 I also saw that the house had a raised basement round about. The foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
And as for the height of the house round about, [each] space between the sides was equal to a reed of six cubits;
9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers, on the outside, was five cubits. And that which was left was the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house.
and the breadth of the wall of each side without was five cubits; and the spaces that were left between the sides of the house,
10 And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
and between the chambers, were a width of twenty cubits, the circumference of the house.
11 And the doors of the side-chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. And the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
And the doors of the chambers were towards the space left by the one door that looked northward, and [there was] one door southward; and the breadth of the remaining open space [was] five cubits in extent round about.
12 And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length of it ninety cubits.
And the partition [wall] in front of the remaining space, towards the west, was seventy cubits in breadth; the breadth of the partition wall was five cubits round about, and the length of it ninety cubits.
13 So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long, and the separate place, and the building, with the walls of it, a hundred cubits long,
And he measured in front of the house a length of a hundred cubits, and the remaining spaces and the partitions; and the walls thereof were in length a hundred cubits.
14 also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
And the breadth in front of the house, and the remaining [spaces] before [it were] a hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at the back of it, and the galleries of it on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits, and the inner temple, and the porches of the court,
And he measured the length of the partition in front of the space left by the back parts of that house; and the [spaces] left on this side and on that side were in length a hundred cubits: and the temple and the corners and the outer porch were ceiled.
16 the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, opposite the threshold, paneled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
And the windows were latticed, [giving] light round about to the three [storeys], so as to look through: and the house and the parts adjoining were planked round about, and [so was] the floor, and from the floor up to the windows, and the window [shutters] folded back in three parts for one to look through.
17 to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall round about inside and outside, by measure.
And almost all the way to the inner, and close to the outer [side], and upon all the wall round about within and without,
18 And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub. And every cherub had two faces,
were carved cherubs and palm-trees between the cherubs, [and each] cherub [had] two faces.
19 so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side, made through all the house round about.
The face of a man was towards one palm tree on this side and on that side, and the face of a lion towards another palm tree on this side and on that side: the house was carved all round.
20 Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. Thus was the wall of the temple.
From the floor to the ceiling were cherubs and palm-trees carved.
21 As for the temple, the door-posts were squared. And as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance was as the appearance of the temple.
And the holy place and the temple opened on four sides; in front of the holy places the appearance was as the look of
22 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length of it two cubits, and the corners of it, and the length of it, and the walls of it, were of wood. And he said to me, This is the table that is before Jehovah.
a wooden altar, the height of it three cubits, and the length two cubits, and the breadth two cubits; and it had horns, and the base of it and the sides of it were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table, which is before the face of the Lord.
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
And the temple [had] two doors, and the sanctuary [had] two doors, with two turning leaves [apiece];
24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves, two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
two leaves to the one, and two leaves to the other door.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, just as were made upon the walls. And there was a threshold of wood upon the face of the porch outside.
And [there was] carved work upon them, and cherubs on the doors of the temple, and palm-trees according to the carving of the sanctuary; and [there were] stout planks in front of the porch without.
26 And there were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. Thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
And [there were] secret windows; and he measured from side to side, to the roofing of the porch; and the sides of the house were closely planked.
