Ezekiel 41
The Inner Temple
1Then he abrought me to the ▼▼ I.e. the main inner hall
,
cnave and measured the dside pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the ▼▼ Lit tent
side pillar. 2The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the ▼▼ Lit shoulders
sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured ▼▼ Lit its length,
the length of the nave, hforty cubits, and the width, itwenty cubits. 3Then he went ▼▼ I.e. of the inner sanctuary
,
kinside and measured each lside pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. 4He measured its length, mtwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nnave; and he said to me, “This is the omost holy place.” 5Then he measured the wall of the ▼▼ Lit house, and so throughout the ch
temple, six cubits; and the width of the qside chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. 6 rThe side chambers were in three stories, ▼▼ Lit chamber upon chamber
one above another, and ▼▼ Lit thirty times
thirty in each story; and ▼▼ Lit they were coming
the side chambers vextended to the wall which stood on ▼▼ Lit the inside of the side chambers
their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. 7The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the xstructure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the ▼▼ Lit middle
second story. 8I saw also that the house had a raised ▼▼ Lit height
platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of aasix ▼▼ Or to the joint
long cubits in height. 9The ▼▼ Lit width
thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the adfree space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10and the outer aechambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. 11The ▼▼ Lit doorway
doorways of the ▼▼ Lit side chamber
side chambers toward the ahfree space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the aifree space was five cubits all around. 12The ajbuilding that was in front of the akseparate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits ▼▼ Lit wide
thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits. 13Then he measured the temple, a amhundred cubits long; the anseparate area with the aobuilding and its walls were also a aphundred cubits long. 14Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate ▼▼ Lit area
areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits. 15He measured the length of the arbuilding ▼▼ Lit to
along the front of the atseparate area behind it, with a ▼▼ Or passageway
,
avgallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. 16The awthresholds, the ▼▼ Or framed
,
aylatticed windows and the ▼▼ Or passageways
,
bagalleries round about their bbthree stories, opposite the threshold, were bcpaneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 18It was ▼▼ Lit made
carved with becherubim and bfpalm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, 19a bgman’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young bhlion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were ▼▼ Lit made
carved on all the house all around. 20From the ground to above the entrance bjcherubim and bkpalm trees were ▼▼ Lit made
carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. 21The bmdoorposts of the bnnave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22The boaltar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its ▼▼ Lit length
base and its ▼▼ Lit walls
sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the brtable that is before the Lord.” 23The bsnave and the btsanctuary each had a double budoor. 24Each of the doors had two leaves, two ▼▼ Or turning
,
bwswinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25Also there were ▼▼ Lit made
carved on them, on the doors of the nave, bycherubim and bzpalm trees like those ▼▼ Lit made
carved on the walls; and there was a ▼▼ Or canopy of wood over
,
ccthreshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. 26There were ▼▼ Or framed
,
celatticed windows and cfpalm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the cgporch; thus were the chside chambers of the house and the ▼▼ Or canopies
thresholds.
