Ezekiel41

¹Then he brought me to the sanctuary, and he measured the side pillars: six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar.

²The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the sanctuary, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

³Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.

⁴And he measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

⁵Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

⁶The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, so that they could be attached, but not be attached to the wall of the temple itself.

⁷And the side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

⁸I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.

⁹The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple

¹⁰and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width around the temple on every side.

¹¹The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north, and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.

¹²The building that was in front of the separate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

¹³Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

¹⁴Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

¹⁵And he measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner sanctuary and the porches of the courtyard.

¹⁶The thresholds, the latticed windows, and the galleries all around their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),

¹⁷over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.

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

¹⁹a human face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around.

²⁰From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the sanctuary.

²¹The doorposts of the sanctuary were square; as for the front of the inner sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other.

²²The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; its corners, its base, and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”

²³The sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door.

²⁴Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

²⁵Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the main room, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside.

²⁶And there were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; the same were on the side chambers of the house and the thresholds.
