Ezekiel's Temple

A measured reconstruction · Ezekiel 40–43

Ezekiel's guided vision records measurements for nearly every wall, gate, and chamber, given in long cubits of about 20.5 inches. This model follows those figures in their common reconstruction.

A walled square roughly 500 cubits (about 860 ft) on a side holds three outer gates and an outer court. A raised inner court carries the bronze altar before the temple house — porch, Holy Place, and the Most Holy Place at the far west.

Where the text is silent — notably building heights and roof forms — proportions are estimated, and readings of the plan differ. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.
