Ezekiel 41

The Nave

Then he ^abrought me to the ¹^bnave and measured the ^cside pillars; ²six cubits wide on each side was the width of the ³side 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, ³^aforty cubits, and the width, ^atwenty cubits.

The Holy of Holies

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 ^cHoly of Holies.”

The Wall, Side Chambers, and West Building

5 Then he measured the wall of the house of Yahweh, 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 house itself. 7 The side chambers surrounding the house were wider at each successive story. Because the ^astructure surrounding the house went upward by stages on all sides of the house, therefore the width of the house 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 ²^asix ³long 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 house 10 and the outer ^achambers was twenty cubits in width all around the house 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 place 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 ¹seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits ²thick all around, and its length was ³ninety cubits.

The Measurements of the Building

13 Then he measured the house, ¹one ^ahundred cubits long; the ^bseparate area with the ^cbuilding and its walls were also one ^ahundred cubits long. 14 Also the width of the front of the house and that of the separate ¹areas along the east side totaled one 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, one hundred cubits, along with the inner nave and the porches of the court.

Carvings and Furnishings

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 Yahweh.” 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 ^bcanopy of wood over 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 canopies.
