Temple design by Ezekiel

‎In the Babylonian Exile, the prophet Ezekiel redesigned the First Temple, which he planned to rebuild after his return from the exile. The palace that once stood on the Temple Mount was foregone, as were the decorated pillars of Jachin and Boaz, the Brazen Sea, and the Lavers. The entire complex was now aligned very symmetrically. According to this design, three gates led into a quadratic court in front of the Temple.

‎Ezek 41; 42
