Ezekiel 41

1 And he brought me into the temple, and he measured the fronts six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits on that side, the breadth of the tabernacle.

Then the man brought me into the temple's holy place and measured the doorposts—six cubits in width on either side.

2 And the breadth of the gate was ten cubits: and the sides of the gate five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

The width of the doorway was ten cubits; the wall on each side was five cubits in length. Then the man measured the dimensions of the holy place—forty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width.

3 Then going inward he measured the front of the gate two cubits: and the gate six cubits, and the breadth of the gate seven cubits.

Then the man went into the very holy place and measured the posts of the doorway—two cubits, and the doorway was six cubits in width. The walls on either side were seven cubits in width.

4 And he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, before the face of the temple: and he said to me: This is the holy of holies.

Then he measured the room's length—twenty cubits. Its width—twenty cubits to the front of the temple hall. Then 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 every side chamber four cubits round about the house on every side.

Then the man measured the wall of the house—it was six cubits thick. The width of each side room around the house was four cubits in width.

6 And the side chambers one by another, were twice thirty-three: and they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall of the house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of the temple.

There were side rooms on three levels, one room above another, thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges around the wall of the house, to support all of the side rooms, for there was no support put in the wall of the house.

7 And there was a broad passage round about, going up by winding stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round: therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the lower parts they went to the higher by the midst.

So the side rooms widened and went around going up, for the house went around higher and higher all around; the rooms widened as the house went up, and a stairway went up to the highest level, through the middle level.

8 And I saw in the house the height round about, the foundations of the side chambers which were the measure of a reed the space of six cubits:

Then I saw a raised part all around the house, the foundation for the side chambers; it measured a full stick in height—six cubits.

9 And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber without, which was five cubits: and the inner house was within the side chambers of the house.

The width of the wall of the side rooms on the outside was five cubits. There was an open space to the outside of these rooms in the sanctuary.

10 And between the chambers was the breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

On the other side of this open space were the priests' outer side rooms; this space was twenty cubits in width all around the sanctuary.

11 And the door of the side chambers was turned towards the place of prayer: one door was toward the north, and another door was toward the south: and the breadth of the place for prayer, was five cubits round about.

There were doors into the side rooms from another open space—one doorway was on the north side, and the other on the south side. The width of this open area was five cubits all around.

12 And the building that was separate, and turned to the way that looked toward the sea, was seventy cubits broad: and the wall of the building, five cubits thick round about: and ninety cubits long.

The building that faced the courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits in width. Its wall measured five cubits thick all around, and it was ninety cubits in length.

13 And he measured the length of the house, a hundred cubits: and the separate building, and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits in length.

Then the man measured the sanctuary—one hundred cubits in length. The separated building, its wall, and the courtyard also measured one hundred cubits in length.

14 And the breadth before the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.

The width of the front of the courtyard in front of the sanctuary was also one hundred cubits.

15 And he measured the length of the building over against it, which was separated at the back of it: and the galleries on both sides a hundred cubits: and the inner temple, and the porches of the court.

Then the man measured the length of the building behind the sanctuary, to its west, and the galleries on either side—one hundred cubits. The holy place and the portico,

16 The thresholds, and the oblique windows, and the galleries round about on three sides, over against the threshold of every one, and floored with wood all round about: and the ground was up to the windows, and the windows were shut over the doors.

the inner walls and the windows, including the narrow windows, and the galleries all around on three levels, were all paneled in wood.

17 And even to the inner house, and without all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

Above the entryway to the inner sanctuary and spaced along the walls there was a measured pattern.

18 And there were cherubims and palm trees wrought, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub, and every cherub had two faces.

It was decorated with cherubim and palm trees; with a palm tree between each cherub, and each cherub had two faces:

19 The face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a lion was toward the palm tree on the other side: set forth through all the house round about.

the face of a man looked toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward a palm tree on the other side. They were carved all around the entire house.

20 From the ground even to the upper parts of the gate, were cherubims and palm trees wrought in the wall of the temple.

From the ground to above the doorway, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the outer wall of the house.

21 The threshold was foursquare, and the face of the sanctuary, sight to sight.

The gate posts of the holy place were square. Their appearance was like the appearance of

22 The altar of wood was three cubits high: and the length thereof was two cubits: and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof were of wood. And he said to me: This is the table before the Lord.

the wooden altar in front of the holy place, which was three cubits high and two cubits in length on each side. Its corner posts, base, and frame were made of wood. Then the man said to me, “This is the table that stands before Yahweh.”

23 And there were two doors in the temple, and in the sanctuary.

There were double doors for the holy place and the most holy place.

24 And in the two doors on both sides were two little doors, which were folded within each other: for there were two wickets on both sides of the doors.

These doors had two hinged door panels each, two panels for one door and two panels for the other.

25 And there were cherubims also wrought in the doors of the temple, and the figures of palm trees, like as were made on the walls: for which cause also the planks were thicker in the front of the porch without.

Carved on them—on the doors of the holy place—were cherubim and palm trees just as the walls were decorated, and there was a wooden roof over the portico at the front.

26 Upon which were the oblique windows, and the representation of palm trees on this side, and on that side in the sides of the porch, according to the sides of the house, and the breadth of the walls.

There were narrow windows and palm trees on either side of the portico. These were the side rooms of the house, and they also had overhanging roofs.
