Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,“ I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore.

“ Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them.The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall be the same size.Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set. Likewise you shall make loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another.And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single whole.“ You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains shall be the same size.You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the tent.You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.“ You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be a single whole.And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.And the extra that remains in the length of the curtains, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.And you shall make for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and a covering of goatskins on top.“ You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together. So shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle.You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;and forty bases of silver you shall make under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons;and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames,and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame, and two bases under the next frame.And for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six frames.And you shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear;they shall be separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring. Thus shall it be with both of them; they shall form the two corners.And there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame.“ You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward.The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall run from end to end.You shall overlay the frames with gold and shall make their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.“ And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it.And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver.And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side.“ You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework.And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.

For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses— as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.( For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things 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 the city was struck down, on that very day, the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me to the city.In visions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was a structure like a city to the south.When he brought me there, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway.And the man said to me,“ Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”And behold, there was a wall all around the outside of the temple area, and the length of the measuring reed in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each being a cubit and a handbreadth in length. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed.Then he went into the gateway facing east, going up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep.And the side rooms, one reed long and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed.Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed.Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end.And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate. The three were of the same size, and the jambs on either side were of the same size.Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits.There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side. And the side rooms were six cubits on either side.Then he measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; the openings faced each other.He measured also the vestibule, sixty cubits. And around the vestibule of the gateway was the court.From the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the inner vestibule of the gate was fifty cubits.And the gateway had windows all around, narrowing inwards toward the side rooms and toward their jambs, and likewise the vestibule had windows all around inside, and on the jambs were palm trees.Then he brought me into the outer court. And behold, there were chambers and a pavement, all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement.And the pavement ran along the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. This was the lower pavement.Then he measured the distance from the inner front of the lower gate to the outer front of the inner court, a hundred cubits on the east side and on the north side.As for the gate that faced toward the north, belonging to the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth.Its side rooms, three on either side, and its jambs and its vestibule were of the same size as those of the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.And its windows, its vestibule, and its palm trees were of the same size as those of the gate that faced toward the east. And by seven steps people would go up to it, and find its vestibule before them.And opposite the gate on the north, as on the east, was a gate to the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.And he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate on the south. And he measured its jambs and its vestibule; they had the same size as the others.Both it and its vestibule had windows all around, like the windows of the others. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.And there were seven steps leading up to it, and its vestibule was before them, and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.And there was a gate on the south of the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.Then he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It was of the same size as the others.Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and both it and its vestibule had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.And there were vestibules all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits broad.Its vestibule faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gate. It was of the same size as the others.Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and both it and its vestibule had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.Its vestibule faced the outer court, and it had palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.Then he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it. It had the same size as the others.Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and it had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits.Its vestibule faced the outer court, and it had palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.There was a chamber with its door in the vestibule of the gate, where the burnt offering was to be washed.And in the vestibule of the gate were two tables on either side, on which the burnt offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering were to be slaughtered.And off to the side, on the outside as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and off to the other side of the vestibule of the gate were two tables.Four tables were on either side of the gate, eight tables, on which to slaughter.And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, on which the instruments were to be laid with which the burnt offerings and the sacrifices were slaughtered.

as were the entrances of the chambers on the south. There was an entrance at the beginning of the passage, the passage before the corresponding wall on the east as one enters them.

When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
