Ezekiel 41:1-11

1Then he 1brought me to the 23nave and measured the 4side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the 5side pillar. 2The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the 6sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured 7the length of the nave, 8forty cubits, and the width, 9twenty cubits. 3Then he went 1011inside and measured each 12side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. 4He measured its length, 13twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the 14nave; and he said to me, “This is the 15most holy place.”

5Then he measured the wall of the 16temple, six cubits; and the width of the 17side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. 618The side chambers were in three stories, 19one above another, and 20thirty in each story; and 21the side chambers 22extended to the wall which stood on 23their 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 24structure 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 25second story. 8I saw also that the house had a raised 26platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of 27six 28long cubits in height. 9The 29thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the 30free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10and the outer 31chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. 11The 32doorways of the 33side chambers toward the 34free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the 35free space was five cubits all around.
