Ezekiel

He took me into the Sanctuary and measured its doorposts: six cubits deep on one side, six cubits deep on the other.

The width of the entrance was ten cubits. The walls, on each side of the entrance, measured five cubits on each side. He measured its length as forty cubits, and its width as twenty cubits.

He entered and measured the door pillars at the entrance, two cubits; then the entrance, six cubits; and the walls on each side of the entrance, seven cubits.

He measured its length, twenty cubits; and its width, twenty cubits. He then said to me, “This is the most Holy Place.”

He measured the wall of the house as six cubits. The width of the side chambers was four cubits all around the house.

The chambers were one above the other, with thirty in three stories.

The supports for the surrounding chambers were fixed into the house wall so that the chambers were not recessed into the wall. The width of the chambers increased, story by story, because they surrounded the house in the stories that went all around it.

Then I saw that there was a paved terrace encircling the house. The height of this terrace, which formed the base of the side chambers, was a full rod of six cubits.

The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and the pavement formed a veranda outside the chambers of the house.

Beyond the rooms was an area twenty cubits wide all around the house.

For access from the side chambers to the courtyard, there was one entrance on the north side and one on the south side. The width of the courtyard was five cubits all around.

The building to the west of this surrounding area measured seventy cubits by ninety cubits, and its wall was five cubits thick all around.

He measured the length of the house as a hundred cubits. The combined length of the court, the building, and its walls was a hundred cubits.

The width of the house’s facade with the quadrangle was a hundred cubits.

He measured the length of the building, the area behind it, and the side depth of its door, totaling a hundred cubits.The inside of the sanctuary and the entrance to the court, their thresholds, the window screens, and the three sets of doors, one at each threshold,

were all paneled with wood from the floor to the windows. The windows were screened with latticework.

From the door to the inner part of the house, as well as around the entire wall of the inner room both outside and inside,

there were carved cherubs and palm trees, alternating; each cherub had two faces:

the face of a palm tree on one side and the other facing a lion toward the palm tree on the other, all around the house.

The cherubs and palm trees were carved from the floor to above the entrance, and also on the hall wall.

The pillars of the house were square.

In front of the Most Holy Place, there appeared to be a wooden altar, three cubits high and two cubits wide. Its corners, base, and sides were made of wood. He said to me, “This is the table before the Lord.”

There was a double door for the temple and a double door for the sanctuary.

These doors had two hinged leaves each: two leaves for one door, and two leaves for the other.

On them, on the doors of the sanctuary, were carved cherubs and palm trees, similar to those carved on the walls. A wooden screen was positioned outside, across the front of the hall.

There were screened windows, with flanking palm trees on the walls of the house and the cells beside the house.
