The Vision of the Temple
41 Next he brought me to the Temple and measured its door jambs at six cubits[a] wide on each side of the structure.[b] 2 The entrance was ten cubits[c] wide and its door jambs were five cubits[d] wide on each side. He measured the length of the nave at 40 cubits[e] and its width at 20 cubits.[f]
3 Then he went inside and measured the door jambs at two cubits[g] wide and the doorway at six cubits[h] high. The doorway was seven cubits[i] wide. 4 He measured its length at 20 cubits,[j] its width at 20 cubits[k] in front of the structure,[l] and then he told me, “This is the most holy area.”
