Ezekiel 41

The Inner Temple

1Then he 1broughtH935 me to the 2sanctuaryH1964, and he measuredH4058 the 3sideH352 pillarsH352: sixH8337 4cubitsH520 wideH7341 on eachH6311 sideH6311 was the widthH7341 of the 5sideH168 pillarH168. 2The widthH7341 of the entranceH6607 was tenH6235 cubitsH520 and the 6sidesH3802 of the entranceH6607 were fiveH2568 cubitsH520 on eachH6311 sideH6311. He also measuredH4058 7the lengthH753 of the sanctuary, 8fortyH705 cubitsH520, and the widthH7341, 9twentyH6242 cubitsH520. 3Then he wentH935 1011insideH6441 and measuredH4058 each 12sideH352 pillarH352 of the doorwayH6607, twoH8147 cubitsH520, and the doorwayH6607, sixH8337 cubitsH520 high; and the widthH7341 of the doorwayH6607, sevenH7651 cubitsH520. 4And he measuredH4058 its lengthH753, 13twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the widthH7341, twentyH6242 cubitsH520, beforeH413H6440 the 14sanctuaryH1964; and he saidH559 to me, “ThisH2088 is the 15MostH6944 HolyH6944 PlaceH6944.”

5Then he measuredH4058 the wallH7023 of the 16templeH1004, sixH8337 cubitsH520; and the widthH7341 of the 17sideH6763 chambersH6763, fourH702 cubitsH520, allH5439 aroundH5439 the houseH1004 on everyH5439 sideH5439. 618The sideH6763 chambersH6763 were in threeH7969 stories, 19oneH6763 aboveH413 anotherH6763, and 20thirtyH7970 in eachH6471 storyH6471; and 21the side chambers 22extendedH935 to the wallH7023 whichH834 stood on 23their inwardH1004 sideH6763 allH5439 aroundH5439, so that they could be attachedH270, but not be attachedH270 to the wallH7023 of the templeH1004 itself. 7And the sideH6763 chambersH6763 surroundingH5437 the temple wereH7337 widerH7337 at each successiveH4608 storyH4608. BecauseH3588 the 24structure surroundingH4141 the templeH1004 went upwardH4605 by stagesH4605 on allH5439 sidesH5439 of the templeH1004, forH5921 thatH5921H3651 reasonH5921H3651 the widthH7341 of the templeH1004 increased as it went higherH4605; and soH3651 one wentH5927 upH5927 from the lowestH8481 story to the highestH5945 by way of the 25secondH8484 story. 8I sawH7200 also that the houseH1004 had a raisedH1363 26platformH1363 allH5439 aroundH5439; the foundationsH4145 of the sideH6763 chambersH6763 were a fullH4393 27rodH7070 of 28sixH8337 29longH679 cubitsH520 in height. 9The 30thicknessH7341 of the outerH2351 wallH7023 of the sideH6763 chambersH6763 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. But the 31freeH5117 spaceH5117 betweenH1007 the sideH6763 chambersH6763 belonging to the templeH1004 10and the outer 32chambersH3957 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in widthH7341 aroundH5439 the templeH1004 on everyH5439 sideH5439. 11The 33doorwaysH6607 of the sideH6763 34chambersH6763 toward the 35freeH5117 spaceH5117 consisted of oneH259 doorwayH6607 towardH1870 the northH6828, and anotherH259 doorwayH6607 toward the southH1864; and the widthH7341 of the 36freeH5117 spaceH5117H4725 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 allH5439 aroundH5439.

12The 37buildingH1146 that was in frontH6440 of the 38separateH1508 areaH1508 at the sideH6285 towardH1870 the westH3220 was seventyH7657 cubitsH520 wideH7341; and the wallH7023 of the buildingH1146 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 39thickH7341 allH5439 aroundH5439, and its lengthH753 was ninetyH8673 cubitsH520.

13Then he measuredH4058 the templeH1004, a 40hundredH3967 cubitsH520 longH753; the 41separateH1508 areaH1508 with the 42buildingH1140 and its wallsH7023 were also a 43hundredH3967 cubitsH520 longH753. 14Also the widthH7341 of the frontH6440 of the templeH1004 and that of the separateH1508 44areasH1508 along the eastH6921 side totaled a hundredH3967 cubitsH520.

15And he measuredH4058 the lengthH753 of the 45buildingH1146 46alongH413 the frontH6440 of the 47separateH1508 areaH1508 behindH5921H310 it, with a 4849galleryH862 on eachH6311 sideH6311, a hundredH3967 cubitsH520; he also measured the innerH6442 sanctuaryH1964 and the porchesH197 of the courtyardH2691. 16The 50thresholdsH5592, the 5152latticedH331 windowsH2474, and the 5354galleriesH863 allH5439 aroundH5439 their 55threeH7969 stories, oppositeH5048 the thresholdH5592, were 56paneledH7824 with woodH6086 allH5439 aroundH5439, and from the groundH776 to the windowsH2474 (but the windowsH2474 were coveredH3680), 17overH5921 the entranceH6607, and to the innerH6442 houseH1004, and on the outsideH2351, and on allH3605 the wallH7023 allH5439 aroundH5439 insideH6442 and outsideH2435, by measurementH4060. 18It was 57carvedH6213 with 58cherubimH3742 and 59palmH8561 treesH8561; and a palmH8561 treeH8561 was betweenH996 cherubH3742 and cherubH3742, and every cherubH3742 had twoH8147 facesH6440: 19a 60humanH120 faceH6440 towardH413 the palmH8561 treeH8561 on one sideH6311 and a youngH3715 61lion’sH3715 faceH6440 towardH413 the palmH8561 treeH8561 on the other sideH6311; they were 62carvedH6213 on allH3605 the houseH1004 allH5439 aroundH5439. 20From the groundH776 to aboveH4480H5921 the entranceH6607 63cherubimH3742 and 64palmH8561 treesH8561 were 65carvedH6213, as well as on the wallH7023 of the sanctuaryH1964.

21The 66doorpostsH4201 of the 67sanctuaryH1964 were squareH7251; as for the frontH6440 of the inner 68sanctuaryH6944, the appearanceH4758 of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22The 69altarH4196 was of woodH6086, threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH1364, and its lengthH753 twoH8147 cubitsH520; its cornersH4740, its 70baseH753, and its 71sidesH7023 were of woodH6086. And he saidH1696 to me, “ThisH2088 is the 72tableH7979 that is beforeH6440 the LordH3068.” 23The 73sanctuaryH1964 and the inner 7475sanctuaryH6944 each had a doubleH8147 76doorH1817. 24Each of the doorsH1817 had twoH8147 leavesH1817, twoH8147 7778swingingH5437 leavesH1817; twoH8147 leaves for oneH259 doorH1817 and twoH8147 leavesH1817 for the otherH312. 25Also there were 79carvedH6213 on them, on the doorsH1817 of the mainH1964 roomH1964, 80cherubimH3742 and 81palmH8561 treesH8561 like those 82carvedH6213 on the wallsH7023; and there was a 8384thresholdH5646 of woodH6086 on the frontH6440 of the porchH197 outsideH4480H2351. 26And there were 8586latticedH331 windowsH2474 and 87palmH8561 treesH8561 on one sideH6311 and on the otherH6311, on the sidesH3802 of the 88porchH197; the same were on the 89sideH6763 chambersH6763 of the houseH1004 and the 90thresholdsH5646.
