Ezekiel 41

1 He took me to the Temple and measured the posts as cubits wide on both sides.

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 The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits long on both sides. He measured the outer sanctuary as 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 He went into the inner sanctuary and measured the entrance posts as two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on both sides were seven cubits wide.

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 He measured the room beside the inner sanctuary as twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He told 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 He measured Temple wall as six cubits thick, and each side room around the Temple was 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 There were three levels of side rooms above one another, each having thirty rooms. The wall of the Temple had external supports for the side rooms, so that they would not be fixed into the wall of the Temple itself.

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 around the Temple became wider at each higher level, because as the structure around the Temple went up the Temple wall grew narrower A stairway provided access from the bottom story to the top, going through the middle level.

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 I saw that the Temple was on a raised platform that surrounded it. This was the foundation for the side rooms. Its height was the complete length of a measuring rod, six long cubits.

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 thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and there was open space between the side rooms of the Temple

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 the outer chambers that measured twenty cubits wide all round the Temple.

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

11 The doors of the side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance to the north and another one to the south. The open space was five cubits wide on each side.

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 Another building faced the Temple courtyard on the west side. It measured seventy cubits wide and ninety cubits long, with walls all the way round that were five cubits thick.

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 He measured the Temple as one hundred cubits long. The Temple courtyard and the building including its walls were also one 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 The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one 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 He measured the length of the building that faced the Temple courtyard towards the rear of the Temple, including its open halls on each side. It was one hundred cubits long. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porches facing the courtyard,

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 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and the surrounding open halls with their three levels up to and including the threshold, were covered with wood on every side. This extended from the ground up to and including 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 On the outside of all the walls by the entrance to the inner sanctuary, spaced at regular intervals around the inner and outer sanctuary,

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 were carved designs of cherubim and palm trees. Every cherub had two faces:

And cherubs and palm-trees were made, one palm-tree between two cherubs, and every cherub had two faces;

19 a man's face looked in the direction of a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked in the direction of the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended the whole way round the Temple.

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 Designs of cherubim and palm trees were carved on the Temple wall from the floor up to the space above the doorway.

From the ground to above the door were cherubs and palm-trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

21 The Temple's doorframe was rectangular, as was the doorframe of the sanctuary.

The posts of the temple were four-square; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.

22 An altar made of wood stood there, three cubits high and two cubits by long. All of it—its corners, base, and sides—were made of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands 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 and the sanctuary both had hinged double doors.

And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 Each door had two panels that opened. There were two panels for one door, and two panels for the other door.

And the two doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for one door, and two leaves for the other door.

25 There were carvings of cherubim and palm trees on the Temple doors like those on the walls, and there was a wooden roof that covered the outside part of the porch at the front.

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 There were narrow windows and palm tree designs on the walls of the porch. The side rooms of the Temple also had roofs.

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.
