Ezekiel 41
1 Next he brought me to the Temple and measured its door jambs at six cubits wide on each side of the structure. ISV — Ezekiel 41:1
2 The entrance was ten cubits wide and its door jambs were five cubits wide on each side. He measured the length of the nave at 40 cubits and its width at 20 cubits. ISV — Ezekiel 41:2
3 Then he went inside and measured the door jambs at two cubits wide and the doorway at six cubits high. The doorway was seven cubits wide.ISV — Ezekiel 41:3
4 He measured its length at 20 cubits, its width at 20 cubits in front of the structure, and then he told me, “This is the most holy area.”ISV — Ezekiel 41:4
5 Next, he measured the Temple walls at six cubits high and the width of the side chambers at four cubits around all four sides of the Temple.ISV — Ezekiel 41:5
6 The side chambers consisted of three stories, each above the other, with 30 chambers in each story. The side chambers extended out from the wall that faced the inside of the chambers where the chambers were fastened together, but the chamber walls were not fastened directly into the Temple walls themselves.ISV — Ezekiel 41:6
7 The side chambers surrounding the Temple were wider at each successive story, because the surrounding structure ascended by proportional increments as it rose, ascending to the highest story by going up successively from the lowest.ISV — Ezekiel 41:7
8 I observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits deep.ISV — Ezekiel 41:8
9 The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple’s side chambersISV — Ezekiel 41:9
10 and its outer chambers 20 cubits in width, surrounding the Temple on each side.ISV — Ezekiel 41:10
11 The side chamber doorway facing the free space contained a single north-facing doorway and a second south-facing doorway. The width of the free space was five cubits all around the perimeter. ISV — Ezekiel 41:11
12 The building that faced the west side of the courtyard was 70 cubits wide, and the building’s wall was five cubits thick all around. It was 90 cubits long.ISV — Ezekiel 41:12
13 Then he measured the Temple. It was 100 cubits long, and the courtyard, its building, and its walls were 100 cubits long.ISV — Ezekiel 41:13
14 The front of the Temple and its east-facing courtyard were each 100 cubits long.ISV — Ezekiel 41:14
15 Next, he measured 100 cubits as the length of the structure toward the front of the courtyard that stood behind it, where it housed a gallery on each side of it. Then he measured the Temple and the inner porticos of the courtyard,ISV — Ezekiel 41:15
16 the thresholds, the shielded windows, and the surrounding three-storied galleries that stood opposite. From the ground to the shielded windows, they were paneled with wood all around,ISV — Ezekiel 41:16
17 including up to the doorway, up to the Temple (both within and without) and all around both sides of the inner wall, according to his measurement.ISV — Ezekiel 41:17
18 There were carved cherubim and palm trees, alternating with a palm tree between a cherub, and each cherub had two faces,ISV — Ezekiel 41:18
19 with a human face looking toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion’s face looking toward the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended all the way around the Temple,ISV — Ezekiel 41:19
20 from the ground to above the doorway, as well as on the walls of the main sanctuary.ISV — Ezekiel 41:20
21 The door posts of the main sanctuary were square. Each door post was identical in appearance to the others.ISV — Ezekiel 41:21
22 The altar was made of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. He told me, “This table stands in the LORD’s presence.”ISV — Ezekiel 41:22
23 The nave and the sanctuary each were equipped with double doors.ISV — Ezekiel 41:23
24 Each door had two sections mounted on hinges, for a total of two sections for one door and two sections for the other.ISV — Ezekiel 41:24
25 The doors of the nave had carvings engraved on them, consisting of cherubim and palm trees identical to those on the walls. The front of the exterior porch was equipped with a wooden threshold.ISV — Ezekiel 41:25
26 Shielded windows and palm trees were visible on both sides; that is, on the sides of the porch, the side chambers of the Temple, and on its thresholds.ISV — Ezekiel 41:26
