Ezekiel 41:1-15

Ezekiel 41:1-15 TPT

The shining man brought me to the Holy Place and measured its doorframes; each was six cubits wide. The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side, its length was forty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. Then he went inside the innermost chamber and measured the doorframes at the entrance as two cubits, then the entrance as six cubits, and the width of the entrance as seven cubits. He measured its length and width as twenty cubits, at the end of the outer sanctuary. Then he said to me, “This is the Holy of Holies.” He then measured the wall of the temple as six cubits thick. There were side rooms all around the temple that were each four cubits wide. And there were three levels of the side rooms, with thirty rooms on each floor. All around the wall of the temple were ledges that served as supports for the side rooms so that they did not have to be attached to the temple wall for support. The rooms were right up to the temple walls. The width of the side rooms increased, floor by floor, because the width of the temple increased as it got higher, from the lowest level through the middle level to the top level. Then I looked down and saw that the temple stood on a raised platform that surrounded it. The platform was a full measuring reed high (six cubits) and provided a foundation for the side rooms. The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. On the raised platform there was a terrace all around the side rooms of the temple. It was twenty cubits between the edge of the platform and the rooms for the priests. And the doors of the side rooms faced an open area, one door toward the north and one door toward the south. The width of the open area was five cubits wide all around. The building on the west side of the courtyard was seventy cubits wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits. Then the shining man measured the length of the temple as one hundred cubits. The length of the courtyard plus the building and its walls was also one hundred cubits. The width of the courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was likewise one hundred cubits. Then he measured the length of the building west of the courtyard, including its balconies on either side, which was also one hundred cubits.
