Ezekiel 41
1 And he brought me into the temple,
the porch of which he measured, six cubits the breadth on one side, and six
cubits the breadth of the porch on the other side.
2 And the breadth of the gateway was
ten cubits, and the side-pieces of the gateway were five cubits on this side,
and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length of it, forty cubits,
and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3 And he went into the inner court,
and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and
the side-pieces of the door, seven cubits on one side, and seven cubits on the
other side. 4 And 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.
5 And he measured the wall of the
house, six cubits: and the breadth of each side, four
cubits round about. 6 And the sides
were twice ninety, side against side; and there was a
space in the wall of the house at the sides round about, that they should be
for them that take hold of them to see, that they should not at all touch the
walls of the house. 7 And the breadth
of the upper side was made according to the
projection out of the wall, against the upper one round about the house, that
it might be enlarged above, and that men might go up
to the upper chambers from those below, and from the ground-sills to the third
story.
8 And as for the height of the house
round about, each space between the sides was equal
to a reed of six cubits; 9 and the
breadth of the wall of each side without was five cubits; and the spaces that
were left between the sides of the house,
10 and between the chambers, were a
width of twenty cubits, the circumference of the house.
11 And the doors of the chambers were
toward the space left by the one door that looked northward, and
there was one door southward; and the breadth of the
remaining open space was five cubits in extent round
about.
12 And the partition
wall in front of the remaining space, toward the
west, was seventy cubits in breadth; the breadth of the partition wall was
five cubits round about, and the length of it ninety cubits.
13 And he measured in front of the
house a length of a hundred cubits, and the remaining spaces and the
partitions; and the walls thereof were in length a hundred cubits.
14 And the breadth in front of the
house, and the remaining spaces before
it were a hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the
partition in front of the space left by the back parts of that house; and the
spaces left on this side and on that side were in
length a hundred cubits: and the temple and the corners and the outer porch
were ceiled. 16 And the windows were
latticed, giving light round about to the three
stories, so as to look through: and the house and the
parts adjoining were planked round about, and
so was the floor, and from the floor up to the
windows, and the window shutters folded back in three
parts for one to look through. 17 And
almost all the way to the inner, and close to the outer
side, and upon all the wall round about within and
without, 18 were carved cherubs and
palm-trees between the cherubs, and each cherub
had two faces.
19 The face of a man was toward one
palm-tree on this side and on that side, and the face of a lion toward another
palm-tree on this side and on that side: the house was carved all round.
20 From the floor to the ceiling were
cherubs and palm-trees carved.
21 And the holy place and the temple
opened on four sides; in front of the holy places the appearance was as the
look of 22 a wooden altar, the height
of it three cubits, and the length two cubits, and the breadth two 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.
23 And the temple
had two doors, and the sanctuary
had two doors, with two turning leaves
apiece;
24 two leaves to the one, and two
leaves to the other door. 25 And
there was carved work upon them, and cherubs on the
doors of the temple, and palm-trees according to the carving of the sanctuary;
and there were stout planks in front of the porch
without.
26 And
there 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.
