Ezekiel 40:48 to Ezekiel 41:4. This consisted of three parts: (a) the porch with a pillar on either side of it reached by a flight of steps (Ezekiel 40:48 f.; in Ezekiel 40:49, for eleven read, with LXX, twelve); (b) the nave or large inner room beyond it (the holy place), whose name, temple, was often applied to the whole structure; (c) beyond that the mysterious most holy place (half the length of the holy place), where Yahweh dwells, and only the supernatural guide (but not Ezekiel) is permitted to enter (Ezekiel 41:3 f.).
