Ezekiel 41

The Inner Temple

1 Then he ^abrought me to the ^bsanctuary, and he measured the ^cside pillars: six ^{▼▼Each of these cubits equals about 21 in. or 53 cm}cubits wide on each side was the width of the ^{▼▼As in LXX; MT tent}side pillar. 2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the ^{▼▼Lit shoulders}sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured ^{▼▼Lit its length,}the length of the sanctuary, ^hforty cubits, and the width, ⁱtwenty cubits. 3 Then he went ^{▼▼I.e., of the inner sanctuary
,} ^kinside and measured each ^lside pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. 4 And he measured its length, ^mtwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the ⁿsanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the ^oMost Holy Place.”

5 Then he measured the wall of the ^{▼▼Lit house, and so throughout the ch}temple, six cubits; and the width of the ^qside chambers, four cubits, all around the house on every side. 6 ^rThe side chambers were in three stories, ^{▼▼Lit chamber upon chamber}one above another, and ^{▼▼Lit thirty times}thirty in each story; and ^{▼▼Lit they were coming}the side chambers ^vextended to the wall which stood on ^{▼▼Lit the inside of the side chambers}their inward side all around, so that they could be attached, but not be attached to the wall of the temple itself. 7 And the side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the ^xstructure 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 ^{▼▼Lit middle}second story. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised ^{▼▼Lit height}platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full ^{▼▼Lit reed}rod of ^absix ^{▼▼Or to the joint}long cubits in height. 9 The ^{▼▼Lit width}thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the ^aefree space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10 and the outer ^afchambers was twenty cubits in width around the temple on every side. 11 The ^{▼▼Lit doorway}doorways of the side ^{▼▼Lit chamber}chambers toward the ^aifree space consisted of one doorway toward the north, and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the ^ajfree space was five cubits all around.

12 The ^akbuilding that was in front of the ^alseparate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits ^{▼▼Lit wide}thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

13 Then he measured the temple, a ^anhundred cubits long; the ^aoseparate area with the ^apbuilding and its walls were also a ^aqhundred cubits long. 14 Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate ^{▼▼Lit area}areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

15 And he measured the length of the ^asbuilding ^{▼▼Lit to}along the front of the ^auseparate area behind it, with a ^{▼▼Or passageway
,} ^awgallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner sanctuary and the porches of the courtyard. 16 The ^axthresholds, the ^{▼▼Or framed
,} ^azlatticed windows, and the ^{▼▼Or passageways
,} ^bbgalleries all around their ^bcthree stories, opposite the threshold, were ^bdpaneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17 over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 18 It was ^{▼▼Lit made}carved with ^bfcherubim and ^bgpalm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces: 19 a ^bhhuman face toward the palm tree on one side and a young ^bilion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were ^{▼▼Lit made}carved on all the house all around. 20 From the ground to above the entrance ^bkcherubim and ^blpalm trees were ^{▼▼Lit made}carved, as well as on the wall of the sanctuary.

21 The ^bndoorposts of the ^bosanctuary were square; as for the front of the inner ^{▼▼Lit holy place}sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22 The ^bqaltar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; its corners, its ^{▼▼Lit length}base, and its ^{▼▼Lit walls}sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the ^bttable that is before the Lord.” 23 The ^busanctuary and the inner ^{▼▼Lit holy place
,} ^bwsanctuary each had a double ^bxdoor. 24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two ^{▼▼Or turning
,} ^bzswinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25 Also there were ^{▼▼Lit made}carved on them, on the doors of the main room, ^cbcherubim and ^ccpalm trees like those ^{▼▼Lit made}carved on the walls; and there was a ^{▼▼Or canopy of wood over
,} ^cfthreshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. 26 And there were ^{▼▼Or framed
,} ^chlatticed windows and ^cipalm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the ^cjporch; the same were on the ^ckside chambers of the house and the ^{▼▼Or canopies}thresholds.
