Ezekiel 41:6-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. Now the side chambers were side by side, and twice thirty-three. And they projected outward, so that they might enter along the wall of the house, on the sides all around, in order to contain, but not touch, the wall of the temple.

7. And there was a broad circular path, rising upward by winding, and it led to the cenacle of the temple by a circular course. As a result, the temple was wider in the higher parts. And so, from the lower parts, they rose up to the higher parts, in the center.

8. And in the house, I saw the height all around the foundations of the side chambers, which were the measure of a reed, the space of six cubits.

9. And the width of the exterior wall for the side chambers was five cubits. And the inner house was within the side chambers of the house.

10. And between the storerooms, there was the width of twenty cubits, all around the house on every side.

11. And the door of the side chambers was toward the place of prayer. One door was toward the way of the north, and one door was toward the way of the south. And the width of the place for prayer was five cubits all around.

12. And the edifice, which was separate, and which verged toward the way looking toward the sea, was seventy cubits in width. But the wall of the edifice was five cubits in width on all sides, and its length was ninety cubits.

13. And he measured the length of the house to be one hundred cubits, and the edifice, which was separate, with its walls, to be one hundred cubits in length.

14. Now the width before the face of the house, and of that which was separate facing the east, was one hundred cubits.

15. And he measured the length of the edifice opposite its face, which was separated at the back, and the porticos on both sides, to be one hundred cubits, with the inner temple and the vestibules of the court.

16. The thresholds, and the oblique windows, and the porticoes, encircling it on three sides, were opposite the threshold of each one, and were floored with wood throughout the entire area. But the floor reached even to the windows, and the windows were closed above the doors;

17. and it reached even to the inner house, and to the exterior, throughout the entire wall, all around the interior and exterior, for the entire extent.

18. And there were cherubim and palm trees wrought, and each palm tree was between one cherub and another, and every cherub had two faces.

19. The face of a man was closest to the palm tree on one side, and the face of a lion was closest to the palm tree on the other side. This was depicted throughout the entire house all around.

20. From the floor, even to the upper parts of the gate, there were cherubim and palm trees engraved in the wall of the temple.
