Ezekiel 41
Legacy Standard Bible

The Nave

41 Then he (A)brought me to the [a](B)nave and measured the (C)side pillars; [b]six cubits wide on each side was the width of the [c]side pillar. 2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the [d]sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured [e]the length of the nave, [f](D)forty cubits, and the width, (E)twenty cubits.

The Holy of Holies

3 Then he went [g](F)inside and measured each (G)side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. 4 He measured its length, (H)twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the (I)nave; and he said to me, “This is the (J)Holy of Holies.”

The Wall, Side Chambers, and West Building

5 Then he measured the wall of the house of Yahweh, six cubits; and the width of the (K)side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. 6 (L)The side chambers were in three stories, [h]one above another, and [i]thirty in each story; and [j]the side chambers (M)extended to the wall which stood on [k]their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the house itself. 7 The side chambers surrounding the house were wider at each successive story. Because the (N)structure surrounding the house went upward by stages on all sides of the house, therefore the width of the house increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the [l]second story. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised [m]platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of [n](O)six [o]long cubits in height. 9 The [p]thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the (P)free space between the side chambers belonging to the house 10 and the outer (Q)chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the house on every side. 11 The [q]doorways of the [r]side chambers toward the (R)free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the place of the (S)free space was five cubits all around.

12 The (T)building that was in front of the (U)separate area at the side toward the west was [s]seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits [t]thick all around, and its length was [u]ninety cubits.

The Measurements of the Building

13 Then he measured the house, [v]one (V)hundred cubits long; the (W)separate area with the (X)building and its walls were also one (Y)hundred cubits long. 14 Also the width of the front of the house and that of the separate [w]areas along the east side totaled one hundred cubits.

15 He measured the length of the (Z)building [x]along the front of the (AA)separate area behind it, with a [y](AB)gallery on each side, one hundred cubits, along with the inner nave and the porches of the court.

Carvings and Furnishings

16 The (AC)thresholds, the [z](AD)latticed windows, and the [aa](AE)galleries round about their (AF)three stories, opposite the threshold, were (AG)paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17 over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 18 It was [ab]carved with (AH)cherubim and (AI)palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, 19 a (AJ)man’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young (AK)lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were [ac]carved on all the house all around. 20 From the ground to above the entrance (AL)cherubim and (AM)palm trees were [ad]carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.

21 The (AN)doorposts of the (AO)nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22 The (AP)altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its [ae]base, and its [af]sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the (AQ)table that is before Yahweh.” 23 The (AR)nave and the (AS)sanctuary each had a double (AT)door. 24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two [ag](AU)swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25 Also there were [ah]carved on them, on the doors of the nave, (AV)cherubim and (AW)palm trees like those [ai]carved on the walls; and there was a (AX)canopy of wood over the front of the porch outside. 26 There were [aj](AY)latticed windows and (AZ)palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the (BA)porch; thus were the (BB)side chambers of the house and the canopies.

Ezekiel 41
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

41 Then he brought me to the nave and measured the posts; on each side six cubits was the depth of the posts.[a](A) 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.(B) 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[b] of the entrance, seven cubits.(C) 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.”(D)

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[c] 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.(E) 7 The passageway[d] 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.(F) 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.(G) 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(H) 10 and the chambers of the court was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.(I) 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.(J)

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.(K)

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

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

The nave of the temple’s interior and the outer[f] vestibule(N) 16 were paneled,[g] and all around all three had windows with recessed[h] frames. Facing the threshold, the temple was paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered).(O) 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.[i] 18 It was formed of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces:(P) 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;(Q) 20 from the floor to the area above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.[j]

21 The doorposts of the nave were square. In front of the holy place was something resembling(R) 22 an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits wide;[k] its corners, its base,[l] and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”(S) 23 The nave and the holy place had each a double door.(T) 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.[m](U)
