< Ezekiel 41 >

1 Afterward 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.
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 door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length of it, 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 he went inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, 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 So he measured the length of it, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.
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 Afterward he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round 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 were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers all around, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
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 an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward on all sides of the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber.
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 I saw also the height of the house all around: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great 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 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
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 width of twenty cubits all around 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 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 all around.
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 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
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 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, an hundred cubits long;
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 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an 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 in front of the separate place which was behind it, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with 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 door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries on every side on their three stories, opposite the door, panelled with wood all around, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
the inner walls and the windows, including the narrow windows, and the galleries all around on three levels, were all paneled in wood.
17 To that above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around within and without, by measure.
Above the entryway to the inner sanctuary and spaced along the walls there was a measured pattern.
18 And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, 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 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house all around.
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 to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made, and on 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 posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
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 its length was two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is 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 the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
There were double doors for the holy place and the most holy place.
24 And the doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
These doors had two hinged door panels each, two panels for one door and two panels for the other.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch outside.
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 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
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.
