NASB Bible

Ezekiel 41

The Inner Temple

1

Then he  abrought me to the  1 bnave and measured the  cside pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the  2side pillar.

2

The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the  1sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured  2the length of the nave,  aforty cubits, and the width,  atwenty cubits.

3

Then he went  1 ainside and measured each  bside pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.

4

He measured its length,  atwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the  bnave; and he said to me, "This is the  cmost holy place."

5

Then he measured the wall of the  1temple, six cubits; and the width of the  aside chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side.

6

 aThe side chambers were in three stories,  1one above another, and  2thirty in each story; and  3the side chambers  bextended to the wall which stood on  4their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

7

The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the  astructure 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  1second story.

8

I saw also that the house had a raised  1platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of  asix  2long cubits in height.

9

The  1thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the  afree space between the side chambers belonging to the temple

10

and the outer  achambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side.

11

The  1doorways of the  2side chambers toward the  afree space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the  afree space was five cubits all around.

12

The  abuilding that was in front of the  bseparate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits  1thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

13

Then he measured the temple, a  ahundred cubits long; the  bseparate area with the  cbuilding and its walls were also a  ahundred cubits long.

14

Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate  1areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

15

He measured the length of the  abuilding  1along the front of the  bseparate area behind it, with a  2 cgallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court.

16

The  athresholds, the  1 blatticed windows and the  2 cgalleries round about their  dthree stories, opposite the threshold, were  epaneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),

17

over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.

18

It was  1carved with  acherubim and  bpalm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,

19

a  aman's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young  alion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were  1carved on all the house all around.

20

From the ground to above the entrance  acherubim and  apalm trees were  1carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.

21

The  adoorposts of the  bnave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other.

22

The  aaltar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its  1base and its  2sides were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the  btable that is before the LORD."

23

The  anave and the  bsanctuary each had a double  cdoor.

24

Each of the doors had two leaves, two  1 aswinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

25

Also there were  1carved on them, on the doors of the nave,  acherubim and  apalm trees like those  1carved on the walls; and there was a  2 bthreshold of wood on the front of the porch outside.

26

There were  1 alatticed windows and  bpalm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the  cporch; thus were the  dside chambers of the house and the  2thresholds.
