Ezekiel 41

Sanctuary and Temple

41And he brought me to the temple sanctuary,^a and he measured the pilasters, six cubits^b wide on each side;^c this was the width of the tent.^{d 2}And the width of the doorway was ten cubits,^e and the sidewall of the doorway was five cubits on each side,^f and he measured its^g length as forty cubits,^h and its width was twenty cubits.^{i 3}And he went into the inner room, and he measured the pilaster of the doorway as two cubits^j and the doorway as six cubits^k and the width of the doorway seven cubits.^{l 4}And he measured its length as twenty cubits^m and its width as twenty cubits to the front of the temple, and he said to me, “This is the most holy place.ⁿ

⁵And he measured the wall of the temple as six cubits,^o and the width of the side room as four cubits^p all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall.^{q 6}And the side rooms were side by side^r in three stories and a total of thirty rooms,^s and there were offsets^t in the wall, which was for the temple for the side rooms, all the way around^u to be supports, and so they were not supports extending into the wall of the temple. ⁷And each level widened, and it went around^v upward^w to the side rooms for the structure that surrounds^x the temple upward^y all the way around,^z therefore the width increased to the temple upward,^a and thus the lower level goes up to the upper level by means of the middle story.

⁸And I saw for the temple a platform all the way around^b the foundations of the side rooms; it was the length of a full reed, six cubits long.^{c 9}The width of the outside wall, which was for the side room to the outside, was five cubits,^d and a space that was set between the side rooms, which was for the temple ¹⁰and between the chambers was the width of twenty cubits^e all around the temple, all the way around^f it. ¹¹And the doorway of the side room faced^g the open area; one doorway faced^h the north,ⁱ and one doorway was to the south, and the width of the place of the open area was five cubits^j all around.^{k 12}And the building that faced^l the courtyard was toward the west,^m and its width was seventy cubits,ⁿ and the wall of the building was five cubits^o wide all the way around,^p and its length was ninety cubits.^{q 13}And he measured the temple, and its length was a hundred cubits,^r and the courtyard and the building and its walls, their length was a hundred cubits.^{s 14}And the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard to the east was a hundred cubits.^{t 15}And he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard^u at the rear^v and its galleries, a hundred cubits^w on each side,^x and also the temple, the court, and the porticos of the courtyard, ¹⁶the thresholds and the framed windows and the galleries around the three of them. Before the threshold was a covering of wood all around,^y and from the ground up to the windows, and all around the windows, they were covered. ¹⁷Above^z the doorway and up to the inner temple^a and on the outside, and on all of the wall all the way around^b in the inner and in the outer areas were patterns,^{c 18}and it was made of cherubim and palm tree images; a palm tree image between cherub and cherub, and the cherub had two faces.^{d 19}And the face of a human was toward^e the palm tree image on the one side,^f and the face of a fierce strong lion faced^g the palm tree image on the other side;^h this work was executedⁱ for the entire temple all the way around.^{j 20}From the ground up to above^k the doorway,^l the cherubim and the palm tree images were made,^m and also the outer wall of the temple.

²¹As far as the temple is concerned its doorframe was squared, and beforeⁿ the sanctuary was the appearance as it were the appearance of ²²a wooden altar^o that was three cubits^p high, and its length was two cubits,^q and its corners^r for it and its length and its walls were of wood. And he spoke to me, “This is the table that is before^s Yahweh.” ²³And the two doors were for the temple and for the sanctuary. ²⁴And two leaves^t of a door were for each of the doors, two hinged leaves of a door: two were for the first door, and two leaves of a door were for the other door. ²⁵And cherubim were made^u on them, that is, on the doors of the temple and palm tree images like the ones prepared for the walls;^v and an overhang of wood was on the surface of the porticos on the outside. ²⁶And narrow windows and palm tree images were on either side,^w and on the side walls of the portico, and the side rooms of the temple and their^x overhang.
