Reading for May 4th
Read Ezekiel 40.48-41.26 The Temple.
In verses 40.48-41.4 the Temple is constructed according to a three-room pattern,
like that of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6) and other examples of temples and royal palaces
from Canaan and Syria.
The three rooms are the vestibule (35 feet by 21 feet), an entry or reception room; the nave (71 feet by 25 feet), the main hall where the Temple furnishings are placed; and the inner room (35 feet by 35 feet), also known as the most holy place, God's throne room which houses the ark of the covenant.
Ezekiel does not enter the inner room since this is restricted to the high priest on Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement (Lev 16).
Pillars: like those of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 7.15-22).
