The Inner Temple
And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. Eze 41:2
was ten cubits... This would be 17 feet 6 inches.
were five cubits... This would be 8 feet 9 inches.
the length thereof... This refers to the holy place, corresponding with the holy place of the tabernacle of Moses and that of Solomon’s temple.
thereof, forty cubits... This would be 70 feet.
breadth, twenty cubits... This would be 35 feet.
The door was 17 feet 6 inches wide, and on either side of the door there was 8 feet 9 inches. This area is then 35 feet wide and 70 feet long. This area is speaking of the Holy Place.
He described the structure in great detail as he was led through it. Ezekiel went first to the portico or entrance to the temple (Eze. 40:48-49). This was the porch-like vestibule on the front of the temple. A flight of stairs led up to the portico and pillars were on each side of the jambs.
