Ezekiel 40:38-43:27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

38 There was a chamber with its door in the vestibule of the gate[a] where the burnt offering was to be washed.(A) 39 And in the vestibule of the gate were two tables on either side on which the burnt offering and the purification offering and the guilt offering were to be slaughtered.(B) 40 On the outside of the vestibule, where one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, and on the other side of the vestibule of the gate were two tables. 41 Four tables were on one side and four tables on the other side of the gate, eight tables, on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments were to be laid with which the burnt offerings and the sacrifices were slaughtered.(C) 43 There were pegs one handbreadth long fastened all around the inside. And on the tables the flesh of the offering was to be laid.

44 On the outside of the inner gateway there were two chambers[b] in the inner court, one[c] at the side of the north gate facing south, the other at the side of the south[d] gate facing north.(D) 45 He said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple,(E) 46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar; these are the descendants of Zadok, who alone among the descendants of Levi may come near to the Lord to minister to him.”(F) 47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits deep and one hundred cubits wide, a square, and the altar was in front of the temple.(G)

The Temple

48 Then he brought me to the vestibule of the temple and measured the posts of the vestibule, five cubits deep on either side, and the width of the gate between the posts[e] was fourteen cubits, and the shoulders of the gate were three cubits wide on either side.[f] 49 The width of the vestibule was twenty cubits and the depth twelve[g] cubits; ten steps led up[h] to it, and there were pillars beside the posts on either side.(H)

41 Then he brought me to the nave and measured the posts; on each side six cubits was the depth of the posts.[i](I) 2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side. He measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.(J) 3 Then he went into the inner room and measured the posts of the entrance, two cubits, and the width of the entrance, six cubits, and the sidewalls[j] of the entrance, seven cubits.(K) 4 He measured the depth of the room, twenty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits, beyond the nave. And he said to me, “This is the most holy place.”(L)

5 Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple. 6 The side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets[k] all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple.(M) 7 The passageway[l] of the side chambers widened from story to story, for the structure was supplied with a stairway all around the temple. For this reason the structure became wider from story to story. One ascended from the bottom story to the uppermost story by way of the middle one.(N) 8 I saw also that the temple was on a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits high.(O) 9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and the free space between the side chambers of the temple(P) 10 and the chambers of the court was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.(Q) 11 The side chambers opened onto the area left free, one door toward the north and another door toward the south, and the width of the part that was left free was five cubits all around.(R)

12 The building that was facing the temple yard on the west side was seventy cubits deep, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around and its width ninety cubits.(S)

13 Then he measured the temple, one hundred cubits deep, and the yard and the building with its walls, one hundred cubits deep,(T) 14 also the width of the east front of the temple and the yard, one hundred cubits.(U)

15 Then he measured the width of the building facing the yard at the west, together with its galleries[m] on either side, one hundred cubits.

The nave of the temple’s interior and the outer[n] vestibule(V) 16 were paneled,[o] and all around all three had windows with recessed[p] frames. Facing the threshold, the temple was paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered).(W) 17 On the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside and on all the walls all around in the inner room and the nave there was a pattern.[q] 18 It was formed of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces:(X) 19 a human face turned toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion turned toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around;(Y) 20 from the floor to the area above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.[r]

21 The doorposts of the nave were square. In front of the holy place was something resembling(Z) 22 an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits wide;[s] its corners, its base,[t] and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”(AA) 23 The nave and the holy place had each a double door.(AB) 24 The doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door. 25 On the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, such as were carved on the walls, and there was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside. 26 And there were recessed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule.[u](AC)

The Holy Chambers and the Outer Wall

42 Then he led me out into the outer court toward the north, and he brought me to the chambers that were opposite the temple yard and opposite the building on the north.(AD) 2 The length of the building that was on the north side[v] was[w] one hundred cubits and the width fifty cubits. 3 Facing the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and facing the pavement that belonged to the outer court, the chambers rose[x] gallery[y] by gallery[z] in three stories.(AE) 4 Amid the chambers was an interior passage, ten cubits wide and one hundred cubits deep,[aa] and its[ab] entrances were on the north.(AF) 5 Now the upper chambers were narrower, for the galleries[ac] took more away from them than from the lower and middle chambers in the building. 6 For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer[ad] court; for this reason the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones.(AG) 7 There was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long. 8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the temple were one hundred cubits long.(AH) 9 At the foot of these chambers ran a passage that one entered from the east in order to enter them from the terrace space outside.(AI) 10 The entrance was aligned with the start of the wall[ae] toward the court.

On the south[af] also, opposite the vacant area and opposite the building, there were chambers 11 with a passage in front of them; they were similar to the chambers on the north, of the same length and width, with the same exits[ag] and arrangements and doors. 12 So the entrances of the chambers to the south were entered through the entrance at the head of the corresponding passage, from the east, along the matching wall.[ah]

13 Then he said to me, “The north chambers and the south chambers opposite the vacant area are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings; there they shall deposit the most holy offerings—the grain offering, the purification offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy.(AJ) 14 When the priests enter the holy place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the vestments in which they minister, for these are holy; they shall put on other garments before they go near to the area open to the people.”(AK)

15 When he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faces east and measured the temple area all around.(AL) 16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed. 17 Then he turned and measured[ai] the north side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed. 18 Then he turned and measured[aj] the south side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed. 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed. 20 He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to make a separation between the holy and the common.(AM)

The Divine Glory Returns to the Temple

43 Then he brought me to the gate, the gate facing east.(AN) 2 And there the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east; the sound was like the sound of mighty waters, and the earth shone with his glory.(AO) 3 The[ak] vision I saw was like the vision that I had seen when he came to destroy the city and[al] like the vision that I had seen by the River Chebar, and I fell upon my face.(AP) 4 As the glory of the Lord entered the temple by the gate facing east,(AQ) 5 the spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.(AR)

6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me out of the temple.(AS) 7 He said to me: “Mortal, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will reside among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by sacrificing to their kings[am] at their death.[an](AT) 8 When they placed their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they were defiling my holy name by their abominations that they committed; therefore I have consumed them in my anger.(AU) 9 Now let them put away their idolatry and sacrifices to their kings[ao] far from me, and I will reside among them forever.(AV)

10 “As for you, mortal, describe the temple to the house of Israel, and let them measure the pattern, and let them be ashamed of their iniquities.(AW) 11 When they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the plan of the temple, its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, and its whole form—all its ordinances and its entire plan and all its laws; and write it down in their sight so that they may observe and follow the entire plan and all its ordinances.(AX) 12 This is the law of the temple: the whole territory on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. This is the law of the temple.(AY)

The Altar

13 “These are the dimensions of the altar by long cubits in which each is a cubit and a handbreadth: its base shall be one cubit high[ap] and one cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. This shall be the height of the altar:(AZ) 14 from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits, with a width of one cubit, and from the lower ledge to the upper ledge, four cubits, with a width of one cubit,(BA) 15 and the altar hearth, four cubits, and from the altar hearth projecting upward, four horns.(BB) 16 The altar hearth shall be square, twelve cubits long by twelve wide.(BC) 17 The ledge also shall be square, fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide, with a rim around it half a cubit high, and its surrounding base, one cubit. Its steps shall face east.”(BD)

18 Then he said to me: “Mortal, thus says the Lord God: These are the ordinances for the altar: On the day when it is erected for offering burnt offerings upon it and for dashing blood against it,(BE) 19 you shall give to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, says the Lord God, a bull of the herd for a purification offering.(BF) 20 And you shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the ledge and upon the rim all around; thus you shall purify it and make atonement for it. 21 You shall also take the bull of the purification offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place belonging to the temple, outside the sacred area.(BG)

22 “On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a purification offering, and the altar shall be purified, as it was purified with the bull. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you shall offer a bull of the herd without blemish and a ram from the flock without blemish.(BH) 24 You shall present them before the Lord, and the priests shall throw salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.(BI) 25 For seven days you shall provide daily a goat for a purification offering; also a bull of the herd and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be provided.(BJ) 26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and cleanse it and so consecrate it. 27 When these days are over, then from the eighth day onward the priests shall offer upon the altar your burnt offerings and your offerings of well-being, and I will accept you, says the Lord God.”(BK)

Ezekiel 40:38-43:27
New International Version

The Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices

38 A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings(A) were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings,(B) sin offerings[a](C) and guilt offerings(D) were slaughtered.(E) 40 By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of dressed stone(F) for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[b] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.(G) 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[c] long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.

The Rooms for the Priests

44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one[d] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south[e] gate and facing north. 45 He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,(H) 46 and the room facing north(I) is for the priests who guard the altar.(J) These are the sons of Zadok,(K) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.(L)”

47 Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.(M)

The New Temple

48 He brought me to the portico of the temple(N) and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits[f] and its projecting walls were[g] three cubits[h] wide on either side. 49 The portico(O) was twenty cubits[i] wide, and twelve[j] cubits[k] from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs,[l] and there were pillars(P) on each side of the jambs.

41 Then the man brought me to the main hall(Q) and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits[m] on each side.[n] 2 The entrance was ten cubits[o] wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits[p] wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.[q](R)

3 Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits[r] wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits[s] wide. 4 And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall.(S) He said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.(T)”

5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits[t] wide. 6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty(U) on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple.(V) 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway(W) went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.

8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the priests’ rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.

12 The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits[u] wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.[v]

13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits[w] long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. 14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.(X)

15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries(Y) on each side; it was a hundred cubits.

The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows(Z) and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered.(AA) 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved(AB) cherubim(AC) and palm trees.(AD) Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:(AE) 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.(AF) 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.

21 The main hall(AG) had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar(AH) three cubits[x] high and two cubits square[y]; its corners, its base[z] and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table(AI) that is before the Lord.” 23 Both the main hall(AJ) and the Most Holy Place had double doors.(AK) 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves(AL) for each door. 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.(AM)

The Rooms for the Priests

42 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms(AN) opposite the temple courtyard(AO) and opposite the outer wall on the north side.(AP) 2 The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.[aa] 3 Both in the section twenty cubits[ab] from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery(AQ) faced gallery at the three levels.(AR) 4 In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits[ac] long.[ad] Their doors were on the north.(AS) 5 Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building. 6 The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors. 7 There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. 8 While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long. 9 The lower rooms had an entrance(AT) on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

10 On the south side[ae] along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard(AU) and opposite the outer wall, were rooms(AV) 11 with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north 12 were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.

13 Then he said to me, “The north(AW) and south rooms(AX) facing the temple courtyard(AY) are the priests’ rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings—the grain offerings,(AZ) the sin offerings[af](BA) and the guilt offerings(BB)—for the place is holy.(BC) 14 Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments(BD) in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people.(BE)”

15 When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate(BF) and measured the area all around: 16 He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.[ag][ah] 17 He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits[ai] by the measuring rod. 18 He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 20 So he measured(BG) the area(BH) on all four sides. It had a wall around it,(BI) five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide,(BJ) to separate the holy from the common.(BK)

God’s Glory Returns to the Temple

43 Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,(BL) 2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters,(BM) and the land was radiant with his glory.(BN) 3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he[aj] came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. 4 The glory(BO) of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.(BP) 5 Then the Spirit(BQ) lifted me up(BR) and brought me into the inner court, and the glory(BS) of the Lord filled the temple.(BT)

6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. 7 He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne(BU) and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile(BV) my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings[ak] for their kings at their death.[al](BW) 8 When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.(BX)

10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed(BY) of their sins. Let them consider its perfection, 11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement, its exits and entrances—its whole design and all its regulations[am] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.(BZ)

12 “This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area(CA) on top of the mountain will be most holy.(CB) Such is the law of the temple.

The Great Altar Restored

13 “These are the measurements of the altar(CC) in long cubits,[an] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span[ao] around the edge. And this is the height of the altar: 14 From the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge that goes around the altar it is two cubits high, and the ledge is a cubit wide.[ap] From this lower ledge to the upper ledge that goes around the altar it is four cubits high, and that ledge is also a cubit wide.[aq] 15 Above that, the altar hearth(CD) is four cubits high, and four horns(CE) project upward from the hearth. 16 The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits[ar] long and twelve cubits wide.(CF) 17 The upper ledge(CG) also is square, fourteen cubits[as] long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit.[at] The steps(CH) of the altar face east.(CI)”

18 Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings(CJ) and splashing blood(CK) against the altar when it is built: 19 You are to give a young bull(CL) as a sin offering[au] to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok,(CM) who come near(CN) to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord. 20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar(CO) and on the four corners of the upper ledge(CP) and all around the rim, and so purify the altar(CQ) and make atonement for it. 21 You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.(CR)

22 “On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.(CS) 24 You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt(CT) on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.

25 “For seven days(CU) you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.(CV) 26 For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it. 27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day(CW) on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings(CX) and fellowship offerings(CY) on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
