Ezekiel 41

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

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.

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 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 thereof, 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.

Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits: and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, 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.”

And he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto 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.

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.

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 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 have hold [therein], and not have hold in 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 were broader as they encompassed [the house] higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the middle [chamber].

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 that the house had a raised basement round about: the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

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, 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.

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

And between the chambers was a 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 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.

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 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 thereof 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.

So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long, and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14 The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one hundred cubits wide.

also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an 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 which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an 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 closed windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the threshold, cieled with wood round about, and [from] the ground up to the windows; now the windows were covered;

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,

to [the space] above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

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

And it was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, 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.

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: [thus was it] made through 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 unto above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

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

As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance [thereof] was as the appearance [of the temple].

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 the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.

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

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, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick beams of wood upon the face of 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 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 thick beams.
