Ezekiel’s Temple vision
Walk through the prophet’s ordered sanctuary, then follow the water beyond its walls.
An artistic reconstruction guided by ancient texts. The images interpret details the sources leave open; this study pictures Ezekiel’s vision, rather than a surviving or completed building.

The wider precinct
Jerusalem has fallen. Far from home, the prophet Ezekiel sees a temple in a vision.
Ezekiel 40:1–2The outer gateway
A guide with a measuring reed leads him through its gates, measuring as they go.
Ezekiel 40:3–16, 20–22Inside the gateway
We're picturing that account here. Its measurements guide us; some details are an artist's interpretation.
An artistic reconstruction guided by Ezekiel 40–48The altar in its court
In the inner court stands an altar, with steps facing east, before the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 40:47; 43:13–17The sanctuary entrance
The vision carries a promise for Israel: God will dwell among his people.
Ezekiel 43:7–9The timber-lined hall
Inside, carved timber surrounds a wooden altar, described as the table before the Lord.
Ezekiel 41:16–22Palms and two faces
Palms alternate with cherubim, each bearing two faces: a human and a young lion.
