Ezekiel 41
New American Standard Bible 1995

The Inner Temple

41 Then he (A)brought me to the [a](B)nave and measured the (C)side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the [b]side pillar. 2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the [c]sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured [d]the length of the nave, (D)forty cubits, and the width, (E)twenty cubits. 3 Then he went [e](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)most holy place.”

5 Then he measured the wall of the [f]temple, 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, [g]one above another, and [h]thirty in each story; and [i]the side chambers (M)extended to the wall which stood on [j]their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. 7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the (N)structure 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 [k]second story. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised [l]platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of (O)six [m]long cubits in height. 9 The [n]thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the (P)free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10 and the outer (Q)chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. 11 The [o]doorways of the [p]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 (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 seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits [q]thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

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

15 He measured the length of the (Z)building [s]along the front of the (AA)separate area behind it, with a [t](AB)gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. 16 The (AC)thresholds, the [u](AD)latticed windows and the [v](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 [w]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 [x]carved on all the house all around. 20 From the ground to above the entrance (AL)cherubim and (AM)palm trees were [y]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 [z]base and its [aa]sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the (AQ)table that is before the Lord.” 23 The (AR)nave and the (AS)sanctuary each had a double (AT)door. 24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two [ab](AU)swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25 Also there were [ac]carved on them, on the doors of the nave, (AV)cherubim and (AW)palm trees like those [ad]carved on the walls; and there was a [ae](AX)threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. 26 There were [af](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 [ag]thresholds.
