Ezekiel 41:1–14

The Inner Temple

41Then he brought me to ^mthe nave and measured the ⁿjambs. On each side six cubits¹ was the breadth of the jambs.^{2 2}And 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,^{3 o}forty cubits, and its breadth, ^ptwenty cubits. ³Then he went ^qinto the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls on either side⁴ of the entrance, seven cubits. ⁴And he measured ^rthe length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, across ^sthe nave. And he said to me, “This is ^tthe Most Holy Place.”

⁵Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of ^uthe side chambers, four cubits, ^uall around the temple. ⁶And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, ^vthirty in each story. There were offsets⁵ all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, ^wso 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 ^xso 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 ^ysix long cubits. ⁹The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. ^zThe free space between the side chambers of the temple ¹⁰and the ^aother chambers was a breadth of ^btwenty cubits all around the temple on every side. ¹¹And the doors of the ^cside chambers opened on ^dthe 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 ^ethe 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, ^fa 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.
