‏ Ezekiel 41

1And he brought me into the temple, the porch of which he measured, six cubits the breadthon one side, and six cubits the breadth of the porch on the other side. 2And the breadth of the gateway was ten cubits, and the side-pieces of the gateway werefive cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length of it, forty cubits,and the breadth, twenty cubits. 3And he went into the inner court, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and thedoor, six cubits; and the side-pieces of the door, seven cubits on one side, and seven cubits on the otherside. 4And he measured the length of the doors, forty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits,in front of the temple: and he said, This is the holy of holies. 5And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits: and the breadth ofeach side, four cubits round about. 6And the sides were twice ninety, side against side; andthere was a space in the wall of the house at the sides round about, that they should be forthem that take hold of them to see, that they should not at all touch the walls of the house. 7And the breadth of the upper sidewas made according to the projection out of the wall, against the upper one round about thehouse, that it might be enlarged above, and thatmen might go up to the upper chambers from those below, and from the ground-sills to the thirdstory. 8And as for the height of the house round about,each space between the sides was equal to a reed of six cubits; 9and the breadth of the wall of each side without was five cubits; and the spaces thatwere left between the sides of the house, 10and between the chambers, were a width of twenty cubits, the circumference of the house. 11And the doors of the chambers were toward the space left by the one door that lookednorthward, andthere was one door southward; and the breadth of the remaining open spacewas five cubits in extent round about. 12And the partitionwall in front of the remaining space, toward the west, was seventy cubits in breadth; the breadthof the partition wall was five cubits round about, and the length of it ninety cubits. 13And he measured in front of the house a length of a hundred cubits, and the remainingspaces and the partitions; and the walls thereof were in length a hundred cubits. 14And the breadth in front of the house, and the remainingspaces beforeit were a hundred cubits. 15And he measured the length of the partition in front of the space left by the back partsof that house; and thespaces left on this side and on that side were in length a hundred cubits: and the temple andthe corners and the outer porch were ceiled. 16And the windows were latticed,giving light round about to the threestories, so as to look through: and the house and the parts adjoining were planked round about,andso was the floor, and from the floor up to the windows, and the windowshutters folded back in three parts for one to look through. 17And almost all the way to the inner, and close to the outerside, and upon all the wall round about within and without, 18were carved cherubs and palm-trees between the cherubs,and each cherubhad two faces. 19The face of a man was toward one palm tree on this side and on that side, and the faceof a lion toward another palm tree on this side and on that side: the house was carved all round. 20From the floor to the ceiling were cherubs and palm-trees carved. 21And the holy place and the temple opened on four sides; in front of the holy places theappearance was as the look of 22a wooden altar, the height of it three cubits, and the length two cubits, and the breadthtwo cubits; and it had horns, and the base of it and the sides of it were of wood: and he said to me,This is the table, which is before the face of the Lord. 23And the templehad two doors, and the sanctuaryhad two doors, with two turning leavesapiece; 24two leaves to the one, and two leaves to the other door. 25Andthere was carved work upon them, and cherubs on the doors of the temple, and palm-trees accordingto the carving of the sanctuary; andthere were stout planks in front of the porch without. 26Andthere were secret windows; and he measured from side to side, to the roofing of the porch;and the sides of the house were closely planked.
