Chapter 41 of Ezekiel—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ Then he brought me to the nave, and measured the jambs; on each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs.[a]
  2. And 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 forty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits.
  3. Then he went into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls[b] of the entrance, seven cubits.
  4. And he measured the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, beyond the nave. And he said to me, “This is the most holy place.”
  5. ¶ Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick; and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, round about the temple.
  6. And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets[c] all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple.
  7. And the side chambers became broader as they rose[d] from story to story, corresponding to the enlargement of the offset[e] from story to story round about the temple; on the side of the temple a stairway led upward, and thus one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story.
  8. I saw also that the temple had a raised platform round about; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits.
  9. The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits; and the part of the platform which was left free was five cubits.[f] Between the platform[g] of the temple and the
  10. chambers of the court was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the temple on every side.
  11. And the doors of the side chambers opened on the part of the platform that was left free, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south; and the breadth of the part that was left free was five cubits round about.
  12. ¶ The building that was facing the temple yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and its length ninety cubits.
  13. ¶ Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;
  14. also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits.
  15. ¶ Then he measured the length of the building facing the yard which was at the west and its walls[h] on either side, a hundred cubits.
    ¶ The nave of the temple and the inner room and the outer[i] vestibule
  16. were paneled[j] and round about all three had windows with recessed[k] frames. Over against the threshold the temple was paneled with wood round about, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered),
  17. to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls round about in the inner room and the nave were carved likenesses[l]
  18. of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces:
  19. the face of a man 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 round about;
  20. from the floor to above the door cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.[m]
  21. ¶ The doorposts of the nave were squared; and in front of the holy place was something resembling
  22. an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad;[n] its corners, its base,[o] and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table which is before the LORD.”
  23. The nave and the holy place had each a double door.
  24. The doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door.
  25. And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, such as were carved on the walls; and there was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside.
  26. And there were recessed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule.[p]

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
