EZEKIEL 41



Ezk 41:1And He brought me to the temple and measured the posts; six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side was the width of the post.

Ezk 41:2And the width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other side. And He measured the length of the outer temple, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

Ezk 41:3Then He went into the inner temple and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width on either side of the entrance, seven cubits.

Ezk 41:4And He measured the length of the inner temple, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the outer temple; and He said to me, This is the Holy of Holies.

Ezk 41:5Then He measured the wall of the house, six cubits thick; and the width of every side chamber, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

Ezk 41:6And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, with thirty units in each story; and they extended to the wall, which the house had for the side chambers all around to be supports, so that there would not be supports inserted into the wall of the house.

Ezk 41:7And the side chambers that went around the house became wider as they went up by stories. Because the surrounding of the house increased upward around the house, therefore the house had width upward; and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest through the middle story.

Ezk 41:8I also saw that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six long cubits.

Ezk 41:9The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits; and space that was left alongside the side chambers belonged to the house.

Ezk 41:10And between the chambers and the house was a width of twenty cubits all around the house on every side.

Ezk 41:11And the entrances of the side chambers were toward the space that was left, one entrance toward the north and another entrance toward the south; and the width of the place that was left was five cubits all around.

Ezk 41:12And the building that was in front of the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

Ezk 41:13So He measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place at the back and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;

Ezk 41:14And the width of the front of the house and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.

Ezk 41:15And He measured the length of the building before the separate place, which was behind it, and its galleries on one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits. And the outer temple, the inner temple, the porches of the court,

Ezk 41:16The thresholds, the latticed windows, and the galleries of the surrounding side chambers with their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, even from the ground to the windows (now the windows were latticed),

Ezk 41:17To the top of the entrance, both in the inner house and outside. And on all the walls all around inside and outside, by measurement,

Ezk 41:18Were both carved cherubim and palm trees. And a palm tree was between two cherubim, and every cherub had two faces.

Ezk 41:19So there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other side. So it was carved in and around the whole house.

Ezk 41:20From the ground to the top of the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, even on the wall of the temple.

Ezk 41:21The temple doorposts were squared. And at the front of the sanctuary was something in appearance like the appearance of

Ezk 41:22A wooden altar, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, its length, and its walls were made of wood. And He said to me, This is the table that is before Jehovah.

Ezk 41:23Now the temple and the sanctuary had double doors.

Ezk 41:24And the double doors had two swinging leaves, two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

Ezk 41:25And carved on these, on the doors of the temple, were cherubim and palm trees, just like those carved on the walls. And there was a threshold of wood upon the front of the porch outside.

Ezk 41:26And there were latticed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sides of the porch, the side chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
