Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and that is what you are.

And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, as God said: I will dwell and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head— Christ.From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part.

For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

LORD, your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness adorns your house for all the days to come.

“ You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.Each curtain should be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the curtains are to have the same measurements.Five of the curtains should be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together.Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.Make fifty loops on the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.Also make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.“ You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make eleven of these curtains.Each curtain should be forty-five feet long and six feet wide. All eleven curtains are to have the same measurements.Join five of the curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. Then fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.Make fifty loops on the edge of one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set.Make fifty bronze clasps; put the clasps through the loops and join the tent together so that it is a single unit.As for the flap that remains from the tent curtains, the leftover half curtain is to hang over the back of the tabernacle.What remains along the length of the tent curtains— a half yard on one side and a half yard on the other side— should hang over the sides of the tabernacle on either side to cover it.Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather on top of that.“ You are to make upright supports of acacia wood for the tabernacle.Each support is to be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.Each support will have two tenons for joining. Do the same for all the supports of the tabernacle.Make the supports for the tabernacle as follows: twenty supports for the south side,and make forty silver bases under the twenty supports, two bases under the first support for its two tenons, and two bases under the next support for its two tenons;twenty supports for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side,along with their forty silver bases, two bases under the first support and two bases under each support;and make six supports for the west side of the tabernacle.Make two additional supports for the two back corners of the tabernacle.They are to be paired at the bottom, and joined together at the top in a single ring. So it should be for both of them; they will serve as the two corners.There are to be eight supports with their silver bases: sixteen bases; two bases under the first support and two bases under each support.“ You are to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle,five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the supports on the back side of the tabernacle on the west.The central crossbar is to run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other.Then overlay the supports with gold, and make their rings of gold as the holders for the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.You are to set up the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you have been shown on the mountain.“ You are to make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen with a design of cherubim worked into it.Hang it on four gold-plated pillars of acacia wood that have gold hooks and that stand on four silver bases.Hang the curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there behind the curtain, so the curtain will make a separation for you between the holy place and the most holy place.Put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.Place the table outside the curtain and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table; put the table on the north side.“ For the entrance to the tent you are to make a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.Make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen and overlay them with gold; their hooks are to be gold, and you are to cast five bronze bases for them.

For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.Now every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is God.

In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been captured, on that very day the LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain. On its southern slope was a structure resembling a city.He brought me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing by the city gate.He spoke to me:“ Son of man, look with your eyes, listen with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for you have been brought here so that I might show it to you. Report everything you see to the house of Israel.”Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple. The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of twenty-one inches; each unit was the standard length plus three inches. He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was 10½ feet, and its height was the same.Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 10½ feet deep— one threshold was 10½ feet deep.Each recess was 10½ feet long and 10½ feet deep, and there was a space of 8¾ feet between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was 10½ feet.Next he measured the gate’s portico;it was 14 feet, and its jambs were 3½ feet. The gate’s portico was on the temple side.There were three recesses on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the jambs on either side also had the same measurements.Then he measured the width of the gate’s entrance; it was 17½ feet, while the width of the gate was 22¾ feet.There was a barrier of 21 inches in front of the recesses on both sides, and the recesses on each side were 10½ feet square.Then he measured the gate from the roof of one recess to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was 43¾ feet. The openings of the recesses faced each other.Next, he measured the porch— 105 feet.The distance from the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the gate’s portico on the inside was 87½ feet.The recesses and their jambs had beveled windows all around the inside of the gate. The porticoes also had windows all around on the inside. Each jamb was decorated with palm trees.Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a paved surface laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,which flanked the courtyard’s gates and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the exterior front of the inner court; it was 175 feet. This was the east; next the north is described.He measured the gate of the outer court facing north, both its length and width.Its three recesses on each side, its jambs, and its portico had the same measurements as the first gate: 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate that faced east. Seven steps led up to the gate, and its portico was ahead of them.The inner court had a gate facing the north gate, like the one on the east. He measured the distance from gate to gate; it was 175 feet.He brought me to the south side, and there was also a gate on the south. He measured its jambs and portico; they had the same measurements as the others.Both the gate and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.Its stairway had seven steps, and its portico was ahead of them. It had palm trees on its jambs, one on each side.The inner court had a gate on the south. He measured from gate to gate on the south; it was 175 feet.Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate. When he measured the south gate, it had the same measurements as the others.Its recesses, jambs, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both it and its portico had windows all around. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.( There were porticoes all around, 43¾ feet long and 8¾ feet wide.)Its portico faced the outer court, and its jambs were decorated with palm trees. Its stairway had eight steps.Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side. When he measured the gate, it had the same measurements as the others.Its recesses, jambs, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both it and its portico had windows all around. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.Its portico faced the outer court, and its jambs were decorated with palm trees on each side. Its stairway had eight steps.Then he brought me to the north gate. When he measured it, it had the same measurements as the others,as did its recesses, jambs, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was 87½ feet long and 43¾ feet wide.Its portico faced the outer court, and its jambs were decorated with palm trees on each side. Its stairway had eight steps.There was a chamber whose door opened into the gate’s portico. The burnt offering was to be washed there.Inside the gate’s portico there were two tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, sin offering, and guilt offering.Outside, as one approaches the entrance of the north gate, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.So there were four tables inside the gate and four outside, eight tables in all on which the slaughtering was to be done.There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering, each 31½ inches long, 31½ inches wide, and 21 inches high. The utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices were placed on them.

The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.

The temple’s construction used finished stones cut at the quarry so that no hammer, chisel, or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
