“1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six
cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side,
[which was] the breadth of the tabernacle. 2 And the breadth of the door
[was] ten cubits; and the sides of the door [were] five cubits on the
one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length
thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. 3 Then went he
inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six
cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. 4 So he measured the
length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before
the temple: and he said unto me, This [is] the most holy [place]. 5
After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of
[every] side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
6 And the side chambers [were] three, one over another, and thirty in
order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house for the
side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not
hold in the wall of the house. 7 And [there was] an enlarging, and a
winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about
of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the
breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so increased [from] the
lowest [chamber] to the highest by the midst. 8 I saw also the height of
the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers [were] a
full reed of six great cubits. 9 The thickness of the wall, which [was]
for the side chamber without, [was] five cubits: and [that] which [was]
left [was] the place of the side chambers that [were] within. 10 And
between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty cubits round about the
house on every side. 11 And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward
[the place that was] left, one door toward the north, and another door
toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five
cubits round about.”
“12 Now the building that [was] before the separate place at the end
toward the west [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building
[was] five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety
cubits. 13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the
separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred
cubits long; 14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the
separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. 15 And he measured
the length of the building over against the separate place which [was]
behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other
side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the
court; 16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries
round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with
wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows
[were] covered; 17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house,
and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by
measure. 18 And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a
palm tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had
two faces; 19 So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on
the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the
other side: [it was] made through all the house round about. 20 From the
ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and palm trees made, and
[on] the wall of the temple. 21 The posts of the temple [were] squared,
[and] the face of the sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the
appearance [of the other]. 22 The altar of wood [was] three cubits high,
and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the
length thereof, and the walls thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto
me, This [is] the table that [is] before the LORD. 23 And the temple and
the sanctuary had two doors. 24 And the doors had two leaves [apiece],
two turning leaves; two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for
the other [door]. 25 And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the
temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls;
and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without. 26 And
[there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the
other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side chambers of
the house, and thick planks.” (Ezekiel 41:1-26 AV)
