Ezekiel 41:1-11

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.
