Ezekiel 41:1–14

⁴¹Then he brought me to the nave and measured the posts; on each side six cubits was the depth of the posts.^{e* 2}The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side. He measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.^{* 3}Then he went into the inner room and measured the posts of the entrance, two cubits, and the width of the entrance, six cubits, and the sidewalls^f of the entrance, seven cubits.^{* 4}He measured the depth of the room, twenty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits, beyond the nave. And he said to me, “This is the most holy place.”^*

⁵Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple. ⁶The side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets^g all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple.^{* 7}The passageway^h of the side chambers widened from story to story, for the structure was supplied with a stairway all around the temple. For this reason the structure became wider from story to story. One ascended from the bottom story to the uppermost story by way of the middle one.^{* 8}I saw also that the temple was on a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits high.^{* 9}The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and the free space between the side chambers of the temple^{* 10}and the chambers of the court was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.^{* 11}The side chambers opened onto the area left free, one door toward the north and another door toward the south, and the width of the part that was left free was five cubits all around.^*

¹²The building that was facing the temple yard on the west side was seventy cubits deep, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around and its width ninety cubits.^*

¹³Then he measured the temple, one hundred cubits deep, and the yard and the building with its walls, one hundred cubits deep,^{* 14}also the width of the east front of the temple and the yard, one hundred cubits.^*
