1 Sitten hän vei minut temppelisaliin ja mittasi seinäpatsaat; ne olivat kuutta kyynärää leveitä kummallakin puolella: ilmestysmajan leveys.

2 Ja oviaukko oli kymmentä kyynärää leveä, ja oviaukon sivuseinät kummallakin puolella olivat viisikyynäräiset. Hän mittasi temppelisalin pituuden: neljäkymmentä kyynärää, ja leveyden: kaksikymmentä kyynärää.

3 Sitten hän meni sisimpään ja mittasi oviaukon seinäpatsaan: kaksi kyynärää, oviaukon: kuusi kyynärää, ja oviaukon leveyden: seitsemän kyynärää.

4 Ja hän mittasi sen pituuden: kaksikymmentä kyynärää, ja leveyden: kaksikymmentä kyynärää temppelisalin puolelta. Ja hän sanoi minulle: "Tämä on kaikkeinpyhin".

5 Sitten hän mittasi temppelin seinän: kuusi kyynärää, ja sivukammion leveyden: neljä kyynärää, yltympäri temppelin.

6 Ja sivukammioita oli: kolme sivukammiota päällekkäin, kolmeenkymmeneen kertaan; ja ne kulkivat ympärinsä sen temppeliseinän varassa, joka oli sivukammioihin päin, niin että pysyivät siinä kiinni, mutta ne eivät olleet kiinnitetyt temppelinseinän sisään.

7 Ja sivukammiot olivat aina sitä leveämpiä kiertäessään, mitä ylempänä olivat, sillä temppelin ympäryskammiot ulottuivat ylemmäksi ja ylemmäksi ympäri temppelin, ollen siten ylhäällä leveämmät sisäänpäin. Ja alakerrasta noustiin yläkertaan keskikerroksen kautta.

8 Ja minä näin, että temppelillä oli koroke ympärinsä: sivukammioitten perustukset, koko ruovon korkuiset, kuusi kyynärää, reunustaan asti.

9 Sivukammioitten ulkoseinän paksuus oli viisi kyynärää; yhtä leveä oli avoin tila sivukammiorakennuksen ääressä, joka temppeliin kuului.

10 Välimatkaa pihakammiorakennuksiin oli kahtakymmentä kyynärää leveälti ympäri temppelin-yltympäri.

11 Ja sivukammioista vei ovi avoimeen tilaan: yksi ovi pohjoista kohden ja toinen ovi etelää kohden. Ja avoimen tilan leveys oli viisi kyynärää yltympäri.

12 Ja rakennus, joka oli eristetyn alueen laidassa lännen puoleisella sivulla, oli seitsemääkymmentä kyynärää leveä. Rakennuksen seinän paksuus oli viisi kyynärää, ympärinsä, ja sen pituus oli yhdeksänkymmentä kyynärää.

13 Sitten hän mittasi temppelin: pituus oli sata kyynärää, sekä eristetyn alueen ja rakennuksen seininensä: pituus sata kyynärää.

14 Temppelin etupuolen ja eristetyn alueen leveys itään päin oli sata kyynärää.

15 Sitten hän mittasi sen rakennuksen pituuden, joka oli eristetyn alueen laidassa, sen takana, ynnä sen käytävät, kummallakin puolella: sata kyynärää; ja sisemmän temppelisalin, esipihan eteiset,

16 kynnykset, sisäänpäin avartuvat ikkuna-aukot, käytävät niitten kolmen ympärillä-kynnyksen edessä oli puulaudoitus yltympäri-ja välin maasta ikkuna-aukkoihin. Ja ikkuna-aukot olivat peitetyt.

17 Oviaukkojen yläpuolelta lähtien sekä sisempään temppeliin asti että ulos asti, koko seinällä yltympäri, sisä-ja ulkopuolella, oli mitatut alat,

18 ja niihin oli tehty kerubeja ja palmuja, palmu aina kahden kerubin väliin. Ja kullakin kerubilla oli kahdet kasvot:

19 ihmisen kasvot palmuun päin toisaalle ja leijonan kasvot palmuun päin toisaalle. Niin oli tehty koko temppelissä yltympäri:

20 maasta alkaen ja aina oviaukkojen yläpuolelle oli tehty kerubeja ja palmuja, samoin temppelisalin seinälle.

21 Temppelisalissa oli nelikulmaiset ovenpielet. Mutta pyhimmän edessä näkyi

22 ikäänkuin alttari, puinen, kolmea kyynärää korkea, ja sen pituus oli kaksi kyynärää. Siinä oli nurkkaukset, ja sen jalusta ja seinät olivat puuta. Ja hän sanoi minulle: "Tämä on pöytä, joka on Herran edessä".

23 Sekä temppelisalissa että pyhimmässä oli kaksoisovet.

24 Ja ovissa oli kaksi ovipuoliskoa, kaksi kääntyvää ovipuoliskoa: kumpaisessakin ovessa oli kaksi ovipuoliskoa.

25 Ja niihin, temppelisalin oviin, oli tehty kerubeja ja palmuja, samoin kuin oli tehty seiniin. Ulkona, eteisen edessä, oli puinen porraskatos.

26 Ja eteisen sivuseinissä, kummallakin puolella, oli sisäänpäin avartuvia ikkuna-aukkoja ja palmuja; samoin temppelin sivukammioissa ja porraskatoksissa.

9603. 'All the curtains shall have one measure' means that the state of affairs shall be the same [with each one]. This is clear from the meaning of 'measure' as the state of affairs as regards truth, dealt with in 3104, so that 'all the curtains shall have one measure' means that the state of affairs shall be the same with every truth. The expression 'the same state of affairs', when applied to the truths of faith in the spiritual kingdom, means that they all look towards good, and through good towards the Lord, the Source of it. Truths which do not look in this direction are not the truths of faith, nor consequently are they truths of the Church or of heaven. Truths which look in some other direction may indeed to outward appearance seem like truths, but they are not truths because they are devoid of life. For the life of truth is good, and good comes from the Lord, who Alone is life. Truths that look in any other direction are like members of a body without a soul, which are not the members of any body because they are devoid of life and so are useless.

[2] The fact that 'measure' means the state of affairs as regards truth, and also the state of affairs as regards good, is evident from the places in the Word where the measures of the new Jerusalem, and also those of the new temple, are the subject. The new or holy Jerusalem means the Lord's New Church, as does the new temple; therefore by their measures states of affairs as regards truth and as regards good are meant, as in John,

The angel had a gold reed to measure the holy Jerusalem, and its gates, and its wall. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. He measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man (homo), that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:15-17.

The measures stated here, it is plainly evident, mean states as regards good and truth, for 'the holy Jerusalem' is the Lord's New Church, 'its gates and wall' being the protective truths of faith. 'Twelve thousand' means all the truths and forms of good in their entirety; and 'a hundred and forty-four' has a similar meaning, 7973, for this number is similar in meaning to the number twelve because it is the product of twelve multiplied by twelve, and 'twelve' means all truths and forms of good in their entirety, see 577, 2089, 2129 (end), 2130 (end), 3272, 3858, 3913. 'The measure of a man, that is, of an angel' means that this is what the state of the Church and of heaven is like as regards forms of the good of love and truths of faith; for 'a man' is the Church and 'an angel' is heaven. Without knowledge of what is meant by 'the holy Jerusalem', by 'its gates and wall', by the number 'twelve thousand furlongs', and by the measure of the wall being 'a hundred and forty-four [cubits]', and also what is meant by 'the measure', 'a man', and 'an angel', would anyone ever know [the real meaning of the description] that the measure of the city was twelve thousand furlongs, or that the measure of a wall of 144 cubits was the measure of a man, that is, of an angel?

[3] Much the same is meant by the measuring in Zechariah,

I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a man (vir) who had a measuring line in his hand. I said, Where are you going? And he said, To measure Jerusalem to see how broad it is and how long it is. Zechariah 2:1-2.

Also in Chapters 40-42 of Ezekiel, which speak about the man with a measuring rod, who measured the houses of the new city, and also the temple - the walls, gates, footings, thresholds, windows, and steps. Unless the measurements in these places had meant the states of the thing as regards truth and good, such details would never have been mentioned. 'Measuring' generally means the state of the truth and good: In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth beneath searched out, behold, I will nevertheless reject the seed of Israel on account of all that they have done. Behold, the days are coming in which the city for Jehovah will be built. And the measuring line will again go out over the hill of Gareb, and around towards Goah. Jeremiah 31:37-39.

And also in Isaiah,

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, marked off 1 the heavens with His span, and gathered the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills on the scales? Isaiah 40:12.

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the room that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.

2 Before the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

3 Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and Over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.

4 Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

5 Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.

6 For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.

7 The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was fifty cubits.

8 For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and behold, before the temple were one hundred cubits.

9 From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.

11 The way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the rooms which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

12 According to the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.

13 Then he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, they are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.

14 When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people.

15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it all around.

16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.

17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.

18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

20 He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall around it, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
