Reading for March 23rd

Read Ezekiel 40.48-41.4 In 40.48-41.4: The Temple. In 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 way or reception room; the nave (71 feet by 25 feet), the main hall where the Temple furishings are placed; and the inner room (35 feet by 35 feet ), also known as the mostholy place, god's throne room which houses the ark ofthe 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 2.15-22).
