Ezekiel 41

¹ He brought me to the temple, 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 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 he went inward, and measured the post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

⁴ He measured its length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, before the temple. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”

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

⁶ The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order. They entered into the wall which was of the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported, and not be supported by the wall of the house.

⁷ The side rooms were wider on the higher levels; for the wall was narrower on the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward, from the lowest story to the highest by the middle story.

⁸ I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

⁹ The thickness of the wall of the side rooms outside was five cubits; and that which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

¹⁰ Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

¹¹ The doors of the side rooms were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. The width of the place that was left was five cubits all around.

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

¹³ So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

¹⁴ also the width of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

¹⁵ He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was behind it, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

¹⁶ the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries all around on their three stories, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows (now the windows were covered),

¹⁷ 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 It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub; and every cherub had two faces:

¹⁹ so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. Thus it was made through all the house all around.

²⁰ From the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made. Thus was the wall of the temple.

²¹ The door posts of the temple were square. As for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance of it was as the appearance of the temple.

²² 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 Yahweh.”

²³ The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

²⁴ The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

²⁵ There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

²⁶ There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and the side rooms of the house, and the thresholds.
