The
Inner Temple |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 41:1
|
|
Then he brought me to the nave and measured
the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:2
|
|
The width of the entrance was ten cubits and
the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured the length
of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:3
|
|
Then he went inside and measured each side pillar
of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of
the doorway, seven cubits. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:4
|
|
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the
width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, "This is the most holy
place." |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:5
|
|
Then he measured the wall of the temple, six
cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the
house on every side. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:6
|
|
The side chambers were in three stories, one
above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the
wall which stood on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened,
and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:7
|
|
The side chambers surrounding the temple were
wider at each successive story. Because the structure 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 second story. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:8
|
|
I saw also that the house had a raised platform
all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits
in height. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:9
|
|
The thickness of the outer wall of the side
chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging
to the temple |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:10
|
|
and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in
width all around the temple on every side. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:11
|
|
The doorways of the side chambers toward the
free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward
the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:12
|
|
The building that was in front of the separate
area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the
building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:13
|
|
Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits
long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits
long. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:14
|
|
Also the width of the front of the temple and
that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:15
|
|
He measured the length of the building along
the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred
cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:16
|
|
The thresholds, the latticed windows and the
galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled
with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were
covered), |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:17
|
|
over the entrance, and to the inner house, and
on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:18
|
|
It was carved with cherubim and palm trees;
and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:19
|
|
a man's face toward the palm tree on one side
and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved
on all the house all around. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:20
|
|
From the ground to above the entrance cherubim
and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:21
|
|
The doorposts of the nave were square; as for
the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the
other. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:22
|
|
The altar was of wood, three cubits high and
its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he
said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:23
|
|
The nave and the sanctuary each had a double
door. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:24
|
|
Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging
leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:25
|
|
Also there were carved on them, on the doors
of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there
was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 41:26
|
|
There were latticed windows and palm trees on
one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers
of the house and the thresholds. |
