Ezekiel 41

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

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.

2 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.

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.

3 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.

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.

4 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.”

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.

5 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.

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

6 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.

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.

7 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.

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.

8 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.

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

9 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.

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,

10 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.

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

11 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.

And the doors of the chambers were toward 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.

12 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.

And the partition [wall] in front of the remaining space, toward 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.

13 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.

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.

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

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

15 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,

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.

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

And the windows were latticed, [giving] light round about to the three [stories], 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.

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

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

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

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

19 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.

The face of a man was toward one palm tree on this side and on that side, and the face of a lion toward another palm tree on this side and on that side: the house was carved all round.

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

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

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

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

22 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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

25 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.

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.

26 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.

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.
