Kaisipang Hudyo sa Ezekiel 41:4: The Third Beit HaMikdash

Here the High Priest stepped whispering into the Holy of Holies,¹⁸See Yechezkel 41:4 and sec. 59 above. the chamber of my birth.

The width of the Sanctuary from north to south was 20 cubits.¹⁷Yechezkel 41:2. In the center of its eastern wall, there was an entrance that was 10 cubits wide. This is derived from the verse, “On the flanks of the entrance, there were 5 cubits on one side and 5 cubits on the other.” “Its doorpost was rectangular.”¹⁸Ibid.:21.

“He measured its length as 20 cubits and its width as 20 cubits…. He said to me, ‘This is the Holy of Holies.’ ”¹Yechezkel 41:4. “There were doorposts, covered windows, and corner structures… Opposite the doorpost, there were wooden boards all around, [from] the earth to the windows – and the windows were covered; to above the entrance, until the inner chamber, all around.”²Ibid.:16-17. The same description is found with regard to the walls of the Sanctuary in sec. 54, because, as the verse states, these features were common to all three of the areas mentioned.
