Ezekiel 41

41 Then the man brought me into the main room of the temple. He measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room; each one was 3.2 meters thick, which was also the width of the sacred tent that the Israelites had used long ago. 2 The entrance itself was 5.4 meters wide, and the side walls of the entrance were 2.7 meters wide on each side. The man measured the main room; it was 22 meters long and 11 meters wide. 3 Then he went farther in, to the inner room, and he measured the doorposts of its entrance; each one was 1.1 meters thick. The entrance itself was 3.2 meters wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were 3.8 meters wide. 4 He measured that inner room, which lay at the far end of the main room; it was 11 meters long and 11 meters wide. Then he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

5 Next the man measured the wall of the temple; it was 3.2 meters thick. A row of side rooms surrounded the temple completely, and each of those rooms was 2.2 meters wide. 6 The side rooms stood in three stories, one above another, with thirty rooms in each story. All the way around the temple the builders had made ledges on the outside of the temple wall to support these side rooms, so that the beams of the rooms rested on those ledges and did not cut into the wall of the temple itself. 7 The side rooms grew wider at each higher story, because the passage that wound around the temple rose higher and higher all the way around it. So the whole structure widened as it went up, and a person could climb from the lowest story to the top story by way of the middle story. 8 I also saw that the temple stood on a raised platform that surrounded it completely. That platform served as the foundation for the side rooms, and it rose one full measuring stick, that is, 3.2 meters. 9 The outer wall of those side rooms was 2.7 meters thick. Beside those rooms an open space remained free, and it belonged to the temple. 10 Between the temple and the rooms where the priests stayed, an open space 11 meters wide went all the way around the temple. 11 The entrances of the side rooms opened onto that free space; one entrance faced north and the other faced south. That free space was 2.7 meters wide all the way around.

12 On the west side of the temple, facing the restricted yard behind the temple, there stood another building. It was 38 meters wide, its wall was 2.7 meters thick all the way around, and it was 49 meters long. 13 Then the man measured the temple; it was 54 meters long. He measured the restricted yard together with that building and the walls of that building; they too were 54 meters long. 14 Across the east front of the temple, the temple and the yard beside it measured 54 meters wide.

15 The man also measured that building at the west end of the restricted yard, including the balconies on each side of it; it was 54 meters long. He measured as well the main room of the temple, the inner room, and the porch that faced the courtyard. 16 Workers had covered the thresholds, the recessed windows, and the balconies that surrounded all three of these parts with panels of wood. They had paneled the walls from the floor up to the windows, and they had also covered the windows themselves. 17 This paneling reached over the entrance, into the inner room of the temple, and out to the outside. The workers had measured out every part of the walls, inside and outside, all the way around. 18 They had carved winged creatures and palm trees on the panels. One palm tree stood between each pair of winged creatures, and each winged creature had two faces. 19 The face of a man looked toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward the palm tree on the other side. The workers had carved these figures all the way around the whole temple. 20 They had carved the winged creatures and the palm trees from the floor up to the space above the entrance, and on the wall of the main room as well.

21 The doorposts of the main room were square, and the front of the Most Holy Place looked just like the front of the main room. 22 In front of the Most Holy Place stood an altar made of wood. It was 1.6 meters high and 1.1 meters long, and the workers had made its corners, its whole length, and its sides out of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that stands in the presence of Yahweh.” 23 The main room and the Most Holy Place each had a double door. 24 Each of those doors had two leaves that swung on hinges, two leaves for the one door and two leaves for the other. 25 The workers had carved winged creatures and palm trees on the doors of the main room, just as they had carved them on the walls, and they had built a canopy of wood over the front of the porch on the outside. 26 On the side walls of the porch there stood narrow windows with recessed frames, and carvings of palm trees decorated each side of them. The side rooms of the temple had canopies over them as well.
