Ezekiel 第41章
The Inner Temple
1Then he brought me to 41:1 ver. 21, 23; ch. 42:8the nave and measured the 41:1 ver. 3; ch. 40:9jambs. On each side six cubits41:1 A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters; a long cubit (see 40:5) was about 21 inches or 53 centimeters was the breadth of the jambs.41:1 Compare Septuagint; Hebrew tent
2And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side. And he measured the length of the nave,41:2 Hebrew its length41:2 1 Kgs. 6:17forty cubits, and its breadth, 41:2 1 Kgs. 6:2twenty cubits.
3Then he went 41:3 ch. 40:16into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls on either side41:3 Septuagint; Hebrew and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
4And he measured 41:4 1 Kgs. 6:20; 2 Chr. 3:8the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, across 41:4 1 Kgs. 6:5the nave. And he said to me, “This is 41:4 ver. 21, 23; ch. 45:3; See 1 Kgs. 6:16the Most Holy Place.”
5Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of 41:5 1 Kgs. 6:5, 8; See ver. 6-9the side chambers, four cubits, 41:5 1 Kgs. 6:5, 8; See ver. 6-9all around the temple.
6And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, 41:6 ch. 40:17thirty in each story. There were offsets41:6 Septuagint, compare 1 Kings 6:6; the meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, 41:6 1 Kgs. 6:6so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple.
7And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and 41:7 1 Kgs. 6:8so one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story.
8I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of 41:8 [ch. 40:5; 43:13]six long cubits.
9The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. 41:9 [ver. 11]The free space between the side chambers of the temple
13Then he measured the temple, 41:13 ch. 40:47a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;
14also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits.
The inside of the nave and the vestibules of the court,
1641:16 Isa. 6:4the thresholds and 41:16 ver. 26; ch. 40:16, 25; [1 Kgs. 6:4]the narrow windows and the galleries all around the three of them, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered),
17to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls all around, inside and outside, was a measured pattern.41:17 Hebrew were measurements
18It was carved of 41:18 ver. 20, 25; 1 Kgs. 6:29, 32, 35; 7:36cherubim and 41:18 ch. 40:16, 22, 26, 31, 34, 37; 2 Chr. 3:5palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces:
1941:19 [ch. 1:10; 10:14]a human face toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around.
20From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave.
21The doorposts of 41:21 ver. 1the nave were squared, and in front of 41:21 See ver. 4the Holy Place was something resembling
2241:22 Rev. 11:1; See Ex. 30:1an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad.41:22 Septuagint; Hebrew lacks two cubits broad Its corners, its base,41:22 Septuagint; Hebrew length and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is 41:22 ch. 44:16; [ch. 23:41; Mal. 1:7, 12]the table that is before the Lord.”
23The nave and the Holy Place had each 41:23 See 1 Kgs. 6:31-33a double door.
24The double doors had two leaves apiece, 41:24 [1 Kgs. 6:34]two swinging leaves for each door.
25And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, 41:25 ver. 18, 20such as were carved on the walls. And there was 41:25 1 Kgs. 7:6a canopy41:25 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain; also verse 26 of wood in front of 41:25 ch. 40:48the vestibule outside.
