41:13-14 Ezekiel's guide next measured the outside walls of the main temple structure. It was 100 cubits (166 feet) from front to back. The distance from the back of the main temple structure to the back of the building behind the temple, including an open space of 20 cubits that separated the two structures, was also 100 cubits. The inner court in front of the temple proper was also 100 cubits square.
41:15 The outside width of the building behind the temple proper measured 100 cubits, including a colonnade on each of its sides. The man also measured the temple's holy place and the vestibule and porch that faced the inner courtyard.
