Ezekiel 41:10Between the rooms was a breadth of twenty cubits around the house on every side.
The setting
Tel Aviv, Iraq, ~593 BC. An exiled priest sits by the Chebar River, receiving visions of God's future temple...
The emotion here: overwhelmed by divine precision while homesick
The original word
ammah (אמה) — cubit, roughly 18 inches, the standard building measurement
Why it matters
This temple vision was given 14 years before Jerusalem's actual destruction was complete
Read with care
