Ezekiel 41

1 Then he took me unto the temple, —and measured the projection six cubits broad on this side and six cubits broad on that side, the breadth of the tent.

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 entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were 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 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 Then went he inwards, and measured the projection of the entrance, two cubits, —and the entrance itself was six cubits, and the sides of the entrance seven cubits:

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 so he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, at the front of the temple.

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 Then said he unto me This! is the holy of holies. Then measured he the wall of the house six cubits, —and the breadth of the side-chamber, four cubits round about on every side of the house 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 side-chambers, one over another were three, and that thirty times, and they entered into the wall which pertained to the house for the side-chambers round about on every side that they might have support, -and yet not have support in the wall of the house itself.

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 there was a broadening and a winding about higher and higher to the side-chambers, for the circuit of the house! was higher and higher round about on every side of the house, for this cause was there a broadening of the house upwards, —and from the lower, one ascended to the higher, by that which was in the middle,

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 Then saw I that the house had a height round about on every side, —the foundations of the side- chambers, a full reed, six cubits to the joining.

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 The breadth of the wall which pertained to the side-chamber on the outside was five cubits, - and that which was left vacant between the side-chambers which pertained to 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, was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house round about on every side,

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

11 And the entrance of the side-chamber, was at the vacant space, one entrance toward the north, and another entrance, toward the south, —and the breadth of the place left vacant was five cubits round about on every side.

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 building which was toward the front of the secluded place on the side toward the west was in breadth seventy cubits, and the wall of the building was five cubits in breadth round about on every side, -and the length thereof 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 the house, in length, a hundred cubits, —and the secluded place and the structure and the walls thereof, 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 of the front of the house and the secluded place toward the east, 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 building against the front of the secluded place which was over the hinder part thereof and the galleries thereof on this side and on that side a hundred cubits, —with the inner temple and the porches of the court:

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 the entrance spaces and the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, over against the entrance spaces wainscoted with wood, round about on every side, —and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows, were covered;

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 unto the space above the entrance even unto the inner house and without and against all the wall round about on every side within and without, were the measures

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 And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, —with a palm-tree between cherub and cherub, and two faces had each cherub;

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

19 and, the face of a man, was toward the palm-tree on this side, and, the face of a young lion, was toward the palm-tree on that side, —[thus was it] made unto all the house, round about on every side.

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 ground as far as the space above the entrance: were the cherubim and the palm-trees made.

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

21 As for the wall of the temple, the door-posts were squared, —and as for the face of the holy place, the appearance was like the appearance [of the temple].

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 The altar, was of wood, three cubits in height and the length thereof, two cubits and the corners thereof and the length thereof and the walls thereof were of wood, —then spake he unto me saying, This, is the table, which is before Yahweh.

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 there were two doors, to the temple, and to the holy place;

The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 and two leaves to the doors, —two folding leaves, two to the one door and two 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 had been made unto them unto the doors of the temple cherubim and palm-trees, like as had been made to the walls, —and thick beams of wood unto the 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 latticed windows and palm-trees on this side and on that side, unto the sides of the porch, —and unto the side chambers of the house and the thick beams.

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.
