Ezekiel 41 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Inner Temple

Eze 41:1Then he brought me to the [fn]nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the [fn]side pillar.
Eze 41:2The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the [fn]sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured [fn]the length of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.
Eze 41:3Then he went [fn]inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.
Eze 41:4He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, “This is the most holy place.
Eze 41:5Then he measured the wall of the [fn]temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side.
Eze 41:6The side chambers were in three stories, [fn]one above another, and [fn]thirty in each story; and [fn]the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on [fn]their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.
Eze 41:7The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the 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 [fn]second story.
Eze 41:8I saw also that the house had a raised [fn]platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six [fn]long cubits in height.
Eze 41:9The [fn]thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple
Eze 41:10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side.
Eze 41:11The [fn]doorways of the [fn]side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.
Eze 41:12The building that was in front of the separate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits [fn]thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.
Eze 41:13Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
Eze 41:14Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate [fn]areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.
Eze 41:15He measured the length of the building [fn]along the front of the separate area behind it, with a [fn]gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court.
Eze 41:16The thresholds, the [fn]latticed windows and the [fn]galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),
Eze 41:17over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.
Eze 41:18It was [fn]carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,
Eze 41:19a man’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were [fn]carved on all the house all around.
Eze 41:20From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were [fn]carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.
Eze 41:21The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other.
Eze 41:22The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its [fn]base and its [fn]sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
Eze 41:23The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door.
Eze 41:24Each of the doors had two leaves, two [fn]swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.
Eze 41:25Also there were [fn]carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those [fn]carved on the walls; and there was a [fn]threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside.
Eze 41:26There were [fn]latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the [fn]thresholds.
