以西結書 第 41 章

And he brought me into the temple, in which he measured the ailam: six cubits the breadth on this side, and six cubits the width of the ailam on that side.

And the width of the gateway, ten cubits; and the shoulder-pieces of the gateway, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

And he went into the inner court and measured the ail of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits, and the shoulder-pieces of the doorway, seven cubits on this side and seven cubits on that.

And he measured the length of the doors, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, facing the temple; and he said: This is the holy of holies.

And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits, and the width of the side-chamber, four cubits round about.

And the side-chambers, chamber upon chamber, thirty and three, twice; and a space in the wall of the house at the side-chambers round about, so that there might be for those taking hold to see, so that they should not at all touch the walls of the house.

And the width of the upper part of the side-chambers was according to the addition from the wall toward the upper part round about the house, so that it might widen out above; and from the lower ones they would go up to the upper stories, and from the middle ones to the third stories.

And the thrael of the house, the height round about; the space of the side-chambers equal to the reed, a space of six cubits.

And the width of the wall of the side-chamber outside, five cubits; and the remaining spaces between the side-chambers of the house.

And between the chambers, a width of twenty cubits, the circuit round about the house.

And the doors of the chambers were toward the remaining space: the one door toward the north, and the one door toward the south; and the width of the open light of the remaining space, five cubits in breadth round about.

And the partition facing the remaining space, toward the sea, seventy cubits; the breadth of the partition wall, five cubits in width round about; and its length, ninety cubits.

And he measured opposite the house, a length of a hundred cubits; and the remaining spaces and the partitions and their walls, a length of a hundred cubits.

And the width facing the house, and the remaining spaces opposite, a hundred cubits.

And he measured the length of the partition facing the remaining space behind that house, and the remaining spaces on this side and on that, a hundred cubits in length; and the temple and the corners and the outer ailam,

panelled; and the windows latticed, with light-openings round about for the three stories, so as to peer through; and the house and what was near it were wainscoted round about, and the floor; and from the floor up to the windows; and the windows opened out in three folds so as to peer through.

And up to what is near the inner part, and up to the outer part, and upon the whole wall round about, within and without,

there were carved cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub; and the cherub had two faces:

a man's face toward the palm tree on this side and on that, and a lion's face toward the palm tree on this side and on that; the whole house was carved round about.

From the floor up to the panelled ceiling the cherubim and the palm trees were carved.

And the holy place and the temple, opening out foursquare; facing the holy place, an appearance like a vision

of a wooden altar, three cubits its height, and the length two cubits, and the width two cubits; and it had horns; and its base and its walls were of wood. And he said to me: This is the table that is before the Lord.

And there were two doorways for the temple and for the holy place.

Two leaves for the two turning doorways: two leaves for the one, and two leaves for the second door.

And there was carving upon them, and upon the doorways of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, according to the carving of the holy place; and choice timbers facing the ailam outside.

And hidden windows; and he measured on this side and on that, up to the roofings of the ailam; and the side-chambers of the house were joined together.
