Ezekiel 41:1–14

Inside the Temple

41Next he brought me into the great hall and measured the pilasters; ^don each side the width of the pilaster was 10½ feet. ^ef2The width of the entrance was 17½ feet, ^gand the side walls of the entrance were 8¾ feet ^hwide on each side. He also measured the length of the great hall, 70 feet, ⁱand the width, 35 feet. ^jk3He went inside the next room and measured the pilasters at the entrance; ^lthey were 3½ feet ^mwide. The entrance was 10½ feet ⁿwide, and the width of the entrance’s side walls on each side ^owas 12¼ feet. ^p4He then measured the length of the room adjacent to the great hall, 35 feet, ^qand the width, 35 feet. ^rAnd he said to me, “This is the most holy place.” ^s

Outside the Temple

⁵Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10½ feet ^tthick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was seven feet. ^uv6The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of 30 rooms each. ^wThere were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself. ^x7The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one. ^yz

⁸I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10½ feet high. ^ab9The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8¾ feet. ^cThe free space between the side rooms of the temple ¹⁰and the outer chambers was 35 feet ^dwide all around the temple. ^e11The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8¾ feet ^fwide all around.

¹²Now the building that faced the temple yard toward the west was 122½ feet ^gwide. The wall of the building was 8¾ feet ^hthick on all sides, and the building’s length was 157½ feet. ⁱ

¹³Then the man measured the temple; it was 175 feet ^jlong. ^kIn addition, the temple yard and the building, including its walls, were 175 feet long. ¹⁴The width of the front of the temple along with the temple yard to the east was 175 feet.
