Ezekiel 41

¹Then he brought me to the nave and measured the jambs . On each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs .

²And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits , and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits , and its breadth , twenty cubits .

³Then he went into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance , two cubits ; and the entrance , six cubits ; and the sidewalls on either side of the entrance , seven cubits .

⁴And he measured the length of the room, twenty cubits , and its breadth , twenty cubits , across the nave . And he said to me, This is the Most Holy Place.

⁵Then he measured the wall of the temple , six cubits thick, and the breadth of the side chambers , four cubits , all around the temple .

⁶And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another , thirty in each story . There were offsets all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers , so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple .

⁷And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers , because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple . Thus the temple had a broad area upward , and so one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story .

⁸I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around ; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits .

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

¹⁰other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side .

¹¹And the doors of the side chambers opened on the free space , one door toward the north , and another door toward the south . And the breadth of the free space was five cubits all around .

¹²The building that was facing the separate yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad , and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around , and its length ninety cubits .

¹³Then he measured the temple , a hundred cubits long ; and the yard and the building with its walls , a hundred cubits long ;

¹⁴also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard , a hundred cubits .

¹⁵Then he measured the length of the building facing the yard that was at the back and its galleries on either side , a hundred cubits . The inside of the nave and the vestibules of the court ,

¹⁶the thresholds and the narrow windows and the galleries all around the three of them, opposite the threshold , were paneled with wood all around , from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered ),

¹⁷to the space above the door , even to the inner room , and on the outside . And on all the walls all around , inside and outside , was a measured pattern .

¹⁸It was carved of cherubim and palm trees , a palm tree between cherub and cherub . Every cherub had two faces :

¹⁹a human face toward the palm tree on the one side , and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side . They were carved on the whole temple all around .

²⁰From the floor to above the door , cherubim and palm trees were carved ; similarly the wall of the nave .

²¹The doorposts of the nave were squared , and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling

²²an altar of wood , three cubits high , two cubits long , and two cubits broad. Its corners , its base , and its walls were of wood . He said to me, This is the table that is before the Lord.

²³The nave and the Holy Place had each a double door .

²⁴The double doors had two leaves apiece , two swinging leaves for each door .

²⁵And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees , such as were carved on the walls . And there was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside .

²⁶And there were narrow windows and palm trees on either side , on the sidewalls of the vestibule , the side chambers of the temple , and the canopies .
