Ezekiel 40:28-49

40:5 | Chapters 40-43 contain a multitude of measurements for the new temple, based on the long cubit. A normal cubit was the distance between the tip of the elbow and the tip of the middle finger, usually about 18 inches; a long cubit added a handbreadth, the length of the hand at the base of the fingers, normally about 3 inches. If these average measurements are close to what Ezekiel had in mind, the temple he saw was enormous.
