< Ezekiel 41 >

1 And he took me to the Temple, and took the measure of the uprights, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other.
Afterwards he brought me to the temple; and he measured the projecting wall-pillars, six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits broad on that side, according to the breadth of the house.
2 And the door-opening was ten cubits wide; and the side walls of the door-opening were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on this side; and five cubits on that side. Then he measured the length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3 And he went inside and took the measure of the uprights of the door-opening, two cubits: and the door-opening, six cubits; and the side-walls of the door-opening were seven cubits on one side and seven cubits on the other.
And he went inward, and measured the border of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
4 And by his measure it was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide in front of the Temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.
Then he measured twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth in the temple, and said to me, This is the most holy place.
5 Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.
And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side-chamber, four cubits round about, round about the house:
6 And the side-rooms, room over room, were three times thirty; there were inlets in the wall of the house for the side-rooms round about, for supports in the wall of the house.
And the side-chambers were chamber to chamber, three and thirty times; and they entered into the wall of the house of the side-chambers round about, and were connected with it; but they were not connected with the wall of the house.
7 The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.
And, the side-chambers became wider upward, having a winding ascent. For the circuit of the house went still upward, round about the house; therefore the greater breadth of the house was upward; and so they ascended from the lowest story to the highest through the middle story.
8 And I saw that the house had a stone floor all round; the bases of the side-rooms were a full rod of six great cubits high.
I saw also the height of the house round about; the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed, six cubits to the knuckles.
9 The wall supporting the side-rooms on the outside was five cubits thick: and there was a free space of five cubits between the side-rooms of the house.
The thickness of the wall of the side-chambers outward was five cubits, and the space which was left was the place of the side-chambers of the house.
10 And between the rooms was a space twenty cubits wide all round the house.
And between the rooms was the breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
11 And the free space had doors opening from the side-rooms, one door on the north and one door on the south: and the free space was five cubits wide all round.
And the doors of the side-chambers were toward the space that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south; and the breadth of the space that was left was five cubits round about.
12 And the building which was in front of the separate place at the side to the west was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all round and ninety cubits long.
And the building which 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 thereof was ninety cubits.
13 And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;
Then he measured the length of the house, a hundred cubits; and the length of the separate place and the building and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits.
14 And the east front of the house and of the separate place was a hundred cubits wide.
Also the breadth towards the front of the house and of the separate place toward the east was a hundred cubits.
15 And he took the measure of the building in front of the separate place which was at the back of it, and the pillared walks on one side and on the other side; they were a hundred cubits long; and the Temple and the inner part and its outer covered way were covered in;
And he measured the length of the building before the separate place, and that which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on this side and on that side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court,
16 And the sloping windows and the covered ways round all three of them were of shakiph-wood all round from the level of the earth up to the windows;
the thresholds, and the windows that were closed, and the galleries round about the three sides. Over against the threshold was a table of wood round about, from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered with it;
17 And there was a roof over the doorway and as far as the inner house, and to the outside and on the wall all round, inside and outside.
upon the space above every door, and upon the inner house, and without, and upon all the wall round about within and without, according to measure.
18 And it had pictured forms of winged beings and palm-trees; a palm-tree between two winged ones, and every winged one had two faces;
And cherubs and palm-trees were made, one palm-tree between two cherubs, and every cherub had two faces;
19 So that there was the face of a man turned to the palm-tree on one side, and the face of a young lion on the other side: so it was made all round the house.
and the face of a man was toward a palm-tree on one side, and the face of a lion toward a palm-tree on the other side. So was it made upon all the house round about.
20 From earth level up to the windows there were winged ones and palm-trees pictured on the wall.
From the ground to above the door were cherubs and palm-trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
The posts of the temple were four-square; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.
22 The altar was made of wood, and was three cubits high and two cubits long; it had angles, and its base and sides were of wood; and he said to me, This is the table which is before the Lord.
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and two cubits long; and the corners thereof and the base thereof and the walls thereof were of wood. And he said to me, This is the table that standeth before Jehovah.
23 The Temple had two doors.
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 And the holy place had two doors, and the doors had two turning leaves, two for one and two for the other.
And the two doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for one door, and two leaves for the other door.
25 And on them were pictured winged ones and palm-trees, as on the walls; and a ... of wood was on the front of the covered way outside.
And there were made on them, even on the doors of the temple, cherubs and palm-trees, such as were made upon the walls, and a wooden threshold was before the porch without.
26 And there were sloping windows and palm-trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the covered way: and the side-rooms of the house and the ...
And at the closed windows were palm-trees on this side, and on that side, on the sides of the porch, and on the side-chambers of the house, and on the thresholds.
