Så førte mannen meg, Esekiel, inn i helligdommen. Han målte dørstolpene. De var tre meter. Inngangen var fem meter bred, og sidemurene på inngangen var to og en halv meter. Han målte lengden på helligdommen. Den var 20 meter lang og ti meter bred. Han gikk så innenfor og målte dørstolpene, og de var en meter. Inngangen var tre meter høy, og inngangen var tre og en halv meter bred. Han målte lengden på den, og den var ti meter lang og ti meter bred. Han sa til meg: «Dette er Det aller helligste.»
