Ezekiel 41-42

Ezekiel 41

¹And he took me to the Temple, and took the measure of the uprights, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other.

²And the door-opening was ten cubits wide; and the side walls of the door-opening were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

³And he went inside and took the measure of the uprights of the door-opening, two cubits: and the door-opening, six cubits; and the side-walls of the door-opening were seven cubits on one side and seven cubits on the other.

⁴And by his measure it was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide in front of the Temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

⁵Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.

⁶And the side-rooms, room over room, were three times thirty; there were inlets in the wall of the house for the side-rooms round about, for supports in the wall of the house.

⁷The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.

⁸And I saw that the house had a stone floor all round; the bases of the side-rooms were a full rod of six great cubits high.

⁹The wall supporting the side-rooms on the outside was five cubits thick: and there was a free space of five cubits between the side-rooms of the house.

¹⁰And between the rooms was a space twenty cubits wide all round the house.

¹¹And the free space had doors opening from the side-rooms, one door on the north and one door on the south: and the free space was five cubits wide all round.

¹²And the building which was in front of the separate place at the side to the west was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all round and ninety cubits long.

¹³And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;

¹⁴And the east front of the house and of the separate place was a hundred cubits wide.

¹⁵And he took the measure of the building in front of the separate place which was at the back of it, and the pillared walks on one side and on the other side; they were a hundred cubits long; and the Temple and the inner part and its outer covered way were covered in;

¹⁶And the sloping windows and the covered ways round all three of them were of shakiph-wood all round from the level of the earth up to the windows;

¹⁷And there was a roof over the doorway and as far as the inner house, and to the outside and on the wall all round, inside and outside.

¹⁸And it had pictured forms of winged beings and palm-trees; a palm-tree between two winged ones, and every winged one had two faces;

¹⁹So that there was the face of a man turned to the palm-tree on one side, and the face of a young lion on the other side: so it was made all round the house.

²⁰From earth level up to the windows there were winged ones and palm-trees pictured on the wall.

²¹...

²²The altar was made of wood, and was three cubits high and two cubits long; it had angles, and its base and sides were of wood; and he said to me, This is the table which is before the Lord.

²³The Temple had two doors.

²⁴And the holy place had two doors, and the doors had two turning leaves, two for one and two for the other.

²⁵And on them were pictured winged ones and palm-trees, as on the walls; and a ... of wood was on the front of the covered way outside.

²⁶And there were sloping windows and palm-trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the covered way: and the side-rooms of the house and the ...

Ezekiel 42

¹And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.

²On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,

³Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.

⁴And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.

⁵And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms.

⁶For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

⁷And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.

⁸For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits.

⁹And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall.

¹⁰(And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.

¹¹And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

¹²And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

¹³And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

¹⁴When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.

¹⁵And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

¹⁶He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

¹⁷And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

¹⁸And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

¹⁹And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

²⁰He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.
