Ezekiel:41-42
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
I saw also the height of the house round about :
the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits .
*
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 .
*
And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
So he measured the house ,
an hundred cubits long ;
and the separate place ,
and the building ,
with the walls thereof ,
an hundred cubits long ;
*
Also the breadth of the face of the house ,
and of the separate place toward the east ,
an hundred cubits .
*
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 ;
*
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 ;
*
To that above the door ,
even unto the inner house ,
and without ,
and by all the wall round about within and without ,
by measure .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made ,
and on the wall of the temple .
*
The posts of the temple were squared ,
and the face of the sanctuary ;
the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other .
*
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 .
*
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors .
*
And the doors had two leaves apiece ,
two turning leaves ;
two leaves for the one door ,
and two leaves for the other door .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Then he brought me forth into the utter court ,
the way toward the north :
and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place ,
and which was before the building toward the north .
*
Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door ,
and the breadth was fifty cubits .
*
Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court ,
and over against the pavement which was for the utter court ,
was gallery against gallery in three stories .
*
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward ,
a way of one cubit ;
and their doors toward the north .
*
Now the upper chambers were shorter :
for the galleries were higher than these ,
than the lower ,
and than the middlemost of the building .
*
For they were in three stories ,
but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts :
therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground .
*
And the wall that was without over against the chambers ,
toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers ,
the length thereof was fifty cubits .
*
For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits :
and ,
lo ,
before the temple were an hundred cubits .
*
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side ,
as one goeth into them from the utter court .
*
The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east ,
over against the separate place ,
and over against the building .
*
And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north ,
as long as they ,
and as broad as they :
and all their goings out were both according to their fashions ,
and according to their doors .
*
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way ,
even the way directly before the wall toward the east ,
as one entereth into them .
*
Then said he unto me ,
The north chambers and the south chambers ,
which are before the separate place ,
they be holy chambers ,
where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things :
there shall they lay the most holy things ,
and the meat offering ,
and the sin offering ,
and the trespass offering ;
for the place is holy .
*
When the priests enter therein ,
then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court ,
but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister ;
for they are holy ;
and shall put on other garments ,
and shall approach to those things which are for the people .
*
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house ,
he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east ,
and measured it round about .
*
He measured the east side with the measuring reed ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed round about .
*
He measured the north side ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed round about .
*
He measured the south side ,
five hundred reeds ,
with the measuring reed .
*
He turned about to the west side ,
and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed .
*
He measured it by the four sides :
it had a wall round about ,
five hundred reeds long ,
and five hundred broad ,
to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place .
*
Afterward he brought me to the gate ,
even the gate that looketh toward the east :
