Ezekiel, 41

1. He took me to the Hekal and measured its piers: six cubits wide on the one side, six cubits wide on the other.

1. Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, [which was] the breadth of the tabernacle.

2. The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the returns of the entrance were five cubits on the one side and five cubits on the other. He measured its length: forty cubits; and its width: twenty cubits.

2. And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits; and the sides of the door [were] five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

3. He then went inside and measured the pier at the entrance: two cubits; then the entrance; six cubits; and the returns of the entrance: seven cubits.

3. Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

4. He measured its length; twenty cubits; and its width against the Hekal: twenty cubits. He then said to me, 'This is the Holy of Holies.'

4. So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This [is] the most holy [place].

5. He then measured the wall of the Temple: six cubits. The width of the lateral structure was four cubits, all round the Temple.

5. After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of [every] side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

6. The cells were one above the other in three tiers of thirty cells each. The cells were recessed into the wall, the wall of the structure comprising the cells, all round, forming offsets; but there were no offsets in the wall of the Temple itself.

6. And the side chambers [were] three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

7. The width of the cells increased, storey by storey, corresponding to the amount taken in from the wall from one storey to the next, all round the Temple.

7. And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the midst.

8. Then I saw that there was a paved terrace all round the Temple. The height of this, which formed the base of the side cells, was one complete rod of six cubits.

8. I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers [were] a full reed of six great cubits.

9. The outer wall of the side cells was five cubits thick. There was a passage between the cells of the Temple

9. The thickness of the wall, which [was] for the side chamber without, [was] five cubits: and [that] which [was] left [was] the place of the side chambers that [were] within.

10. and the rooms, twenty cubits wide, all round the Temple.

10. And between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

11. As a way in to the lateral cells on the passage there was one entrance on the north side and one entrance on the south side. The width of the passage was five cubits right round.

11. And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the place that was] left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits round about.

12. The building on the west side of the court was seventy cubits wide, the wall of the building was five cubits thick all round and its length was ninety cubits.

12. Now the building that [was] before the separate place at the end toward the west [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building [was] five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

13. He measured the length of the Temple: a hundred cubits.

13. So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14. The length of the court plus the building and its walls: a hundred cubits.

14. Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

15. He measured the length of the building, along the court, at the back, and its galleries on either side: a hundred cubits. The inside of the Hekal and the porches of the court,

15. And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which [was] behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

16. the thresholds, the windows, the galleries on three sides, facing the threshold, were panelled with wood all round from floor to windows, and the windows were screened with latticework.

16. The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows [were] covered;

17. From the door to the inner part of the Temple, as well as outside, and on the wall all round, both inside and out,

17. To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

18. were carved great winged creatures and palm trees, one palm tree between two winged creatures; each winged creature had two faces:

18. And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces;

19. a human face turned towards the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion towards the palm tree on the other side, throughout the Temple, all round.

19. So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house round about.

20. Winged creatures and palm trees were carved on the wall from the floor to above the entrance.

20. From the ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and palm trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple.

21. The doorposts of the Temple were square. In front of the sanctuary there was something like

21. The posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the other].

22. a wooden altar, three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base and sides were of wood. He said to me, 'This is the table in the presence of Yahweh.'

22. The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table that [is] before the LORD.

23. The Hekal had double doors and the sanctuary

23. And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24. double doors. These doors had two hinged leaves, two leaves for the one door, two leaves for the other.

24. And the doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves; two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other [door].

25. On them (on the doors of the Hekal), were carved great winged creatures and palm trees like those carved on the walls. There was a wooden porch roof on the front of the Ulam on the outside,

25. And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

26. and windows with flanking palm trees on the sides of the Ulam, the cells to the side of the Temple and the porch-roofs.

26. And [there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
