Ezek 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, forth 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, Alex. +’to me’ 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 Gr. light 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 Or, wainscoted 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
each;
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 Gr. plural 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 Alex. exulwmena closely planked.
