Ezekiel 41–42

41Afterward he brought me to ^adthe temple, and measured ^bthe posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, ^cwhich was the breadth of the tabernacle. ²And the breadth of ^ccthe ^||door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured ^dthe length thereof, forty cubits: and ^ethe breadth, twenty cubits. ³Then went he ^finward, and measured ^bthe post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. ⁴So he measured ^gthe length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before ^athe temple: and he said unto me, This is ^hthe most holy place. ⁵After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every ⁱside chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. ⁶And ⁱthe side chambers ^kwere three, ^†one over another, and ^||thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for ⁱthe side chambers round about, that they might ^†have hold, but ^kthey had not hold in the wall of the house. ⁷And ^†mthere was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to ⁱthe side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so ⁿincreased ⁿⁿfrom the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. ⁸I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of ⁱthe side chambers were ^oa full reed of six great cubits. ⁹The thickness of the wall, which was for ⁱthe side chamber without, was five cubits: and ^pthat which was left was the place of ⁱthe side chambers that were within. ¹⁰And between ^qthe chambers was the wideness of ^qqtwenty cubits round about the house on every side. ¹¹And the doors of ⁱthe side chambers were toward ^pthe place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of ^pthe place that was left was five cubits round about.

¹²Now ^ttthe building that was before ^rthe separate place at ^sthe end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. ¹³So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and ^rthe separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, ^tan hundred cubits long; ¹⁴Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of ^rthe separate place toward the east, ^tan hundred cubits. ¹⁵And he measured the length of ^ttthe building over against ^rthe separate place which was behind it, and the ^||ugalleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, ^tan hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; ^16vThe door posts, and ^wthe narrow windows, and ^uthe galleries round about ^xon their three stories, over against ^vthe door, ^†cieled with wood round about, ^||and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered; ¹⁷To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by ^†measure. ¹⁸And it was made ^ywith cherubims and ^yzpalm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; ¹⁹So that ^zzthe face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about. ²⁰From the ground unto above the door were ^ycherubims and ^yzpalm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

²¹The ^†posts of ^athe temple were ^absquared, and the face of ^cthe sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. ^22dThe altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is ^ethe table that is ^fbefore the Lord. ²³And ^athe temple and ^cthe sanctuary ^ghad two doors. ²⁴And the doors had two leaves apiece, two ^hturning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. ²⁵And there were made on them, on the doors of ^athe temple, ^ycherubims and ^yzpalm trees, ⁱlike as were made upon the walls; and there were ^kthick planks upon the face of ^lthe porch without. ²⁶And there were ^mnarrow windows and ^zpalm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of ^lthe porch, and upon ⁿthe side chambers of the house, and ^kthick planks.

42Then he brought me forth into ^athe utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into ^bthe chamber that was over against ^cthe separate place, and ^dwhich was before the building toward the north. ^2eBefore the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and ^fthe breadth was fifty cubits. ³Over against ^gthe twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against ^bthe pavement which was for the utter court, was ^hgallery against gallery in ⁱthree stories. ⁴And before ^bkthe chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, ^ta way of one cubit; and ^ktheir doors toward the north. ⁵Now the upper ^bchambers were shorter: for ^hthe galleries ^||lwere higher than these, ^||mthan the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. ⁶For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building ⁿwas straitened ^lmmore than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. ⁷And ^othe wall that was without over against ^bthe chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, ^fthe length thereof was fifty cubits. ⁸For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before ^qthe temple ^rwere an hundred cubits. ⁹And ^||from under these chambers was ^||sthe entry on the east side, ^||as one goeth into them from the utter court. ¹⁰The chambers were in the thickness of ^othe wall of the court toward the east, over against ^cthe separate place, ^dand over against the building. ¹¹And ^tthe way before them was like the appearance of the chambers ^twhich were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both ^uaccording to their fashions, and ^kaccording to their doors. ¹²And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door ^vin the head of the way, even the way directly before ^othe wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.

¹³Then said he unto me, ^wThe north chambers and the south chambers, which are before ^cthe separate place, they be holy chambers, where ^xthe priests that approach unto the Lord ^yshall eat ^zthe most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and ^zabthe meat offering, and ^zacthe sin offering, and ^zacthe trespass offering; for the place is holy. ¹⁴When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but ^dthere they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and ^dshall put on other garments, and shall approach to ^dthose things which are for the people.

¹⁵Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward ^ethe gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. ¹⁶He measured the east ^†side with ^fthe measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. ¹⁷He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. ¹⁸He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. ¹⁹He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. ²⁰He measured it by the four sides: ^git had a wall round about, ^hfive hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, ⁱto make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
