Ezekiel 41:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 41:3

Dimensions of the Sanctuary

1 Then he ^abrought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side—the width of the tabernacle.

2 The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.

3 Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

4 ^aHe measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

The Side Chambers on the Wall

5 Next, he measured the wall of the¹ temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.

6 ^aThe side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on¹ ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but ^bnot fastened to the wall of the temple.
