Ezekiel 41:1-11

1Then the man brought meH935 intoH413 the outer sanctuaryH1964 and measuredH4058 the side pillarsH352 to be sixH8337 cubitsH520 wideH73411 on each sideH6311H8337H520H7341H168.2 2The widthH7341 of the entranceH6607 was tenH6235 cubitsH520,3 and the sidesH3802 of the entranceH6607 were fiveH2568 cubitsH5204 on eachH6311 sideH6311. He also measuredH4058 the lengthH753 of the outer sanctuary to be fortyH705 cubitsH520, and the widthH7341 to be twentyH6242 cubitsH520.5

3And he wentH935 intoH6441 the inner sanctuary and measuredH4058 the side pillarsH352 at the entranceH6607 to be twoH8147 cubitsH520 wide.6 The entranceH6607 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 wide, and the walls on each side were sevenH7651 cubitsH520 wideH7341.7 4Then he measuredH4058 the room adjacent toH413H6440 the inner sanctuaryH19648 to be twentyH6242 cubitsH520 longH753 and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 wideH7341.9 And he saidH559 to meH413, “ThisH2088 is the Most Holy PlaceH6944.10”

5Next he measuredH4058 the wallH7023 of the templeH1004 to be sixH8337 cubitsH520 thick, and the widthH7341 of eachH5439 side roomH6763 aroundH5439 the templeH1004 was fourH702 cubitsH520.11 6The side roomsH6763 were arranged oneH6763 aboveH413 anotherH6763 in three levelsH7969 of thirty rooms eachH7970H6471. There were ledgesH935 all aroundH5439 the wallH7023 of the templeH1004 to serve asH1961 supportsH270 for the side roomsH6763, so that the supportsH270 would notH3808 be fastened intoH1961 the wallH7023 of the temple itselfH1004. 7The side roomsH6763H3588 surroundingH4141 the templeH1004 widened at each successive levelH7337H5437H4605, because the structure surroundingH5439 the templeH1004 ascendedH4605 by stagesH4605 corresponding toH5921H3651 the narrowing of the temple wallH7341H1004 as it rose upwardH4605. And soH3651 a stairway went upH5927 from the lowest storyH8481 toH5921 the highestH5945, through the middle oneH8484.

8I sawH7200 that the templeH1004 had a raised baseH1363 allH5439 aroundH5439 it, forming the foundationH4145 of the side roomsH6763. It was the full length ofH4393 a rodH7070, sixH8337 longH679 cubitsH520. 9The outerH2351 wallH7023 of the side roomsH6763 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 thickH7341, andH834 the open areaH5117 betweenH1004 the side roomsH6763 of the templeH1004 10and the outer chambersH3957 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 wideH7341 all aroundH5439 the templeH1004. 11The side roomsH6763 opened into this areaH5117H6607, with oneH259 entranceH6607 onH1870 the northH6828H6607 and anotherH259 on the southH1864. The open areaH4725H5117 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341 allH5439 aroundH5439.
