Jezekiel 41

1 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.

He brought me to the nave and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.

2 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.

The width 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. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

3 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.

Then he went inward and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

4 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.

He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”

5 And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits: and the breadth of [each] side, four cubits round about.

Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

6 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.

The side rooms were in three storeys, one over another, and thirty in each story. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported and not penetrate the wall of the house.

7 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.

The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.

8 And as for the height of the house round about, [each] space between the sides was equal to a reed of six cubits;

I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

9 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,

The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

10 and between the chambers, were a width of twenty cubits, the circumference of the house.

Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

11 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.

The doors of the side rooms were towards an open area that was left, one door towards the north, and another door towards the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.

12 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.

The building that was before the separate place at the side towards the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

13 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.

So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

14 And the breadth in front of the house, and the remaining [spaces] before [it were] a hundred cubits.

also the width of the face of the temple, and of the separate place towards the east, one hundred cubits.

15 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.

He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits from the inner temple, and the porches of the court,

16 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.

the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three storeys, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

17 And almost all the way to the inner, and close to the outer [side], and upon all the wall round about within and without,

to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

18 were carved cherubs and palm-trees between the cherubs, [and each] cherub [had] two faces.

It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,

19 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.

so that there was the face of a man towards the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.

20 From the floor to the ceiling were cherubs and palm-trees carved.

Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.

21 And the holy place and the temple opened on four sides; in front of the holy places the appearance was as the look of

The door posts of the nave were squared. As for the face of the nave, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.

22 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.

The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

23 And the temple [had] two doors, and the sanctuary [had] two doors, with two turning leaves [apiece];

The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 two leaves to the one, and two leaves to the other door.

The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

25 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.

There were made on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

26 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.

There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. This is how the side rooms of the temple and the thresholds were arranged.
