2 Corinthiens 6 16
What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:“ I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (niv)

Ephésiens 4:13-16
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Exode 26:1-37
“ Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker.All the curtains are to be the same size— twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five.Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set.Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.“ Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle— eleven altogether.All eleven curtains are to be the same size— thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle.The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it.Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.“ Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacleand make forty silver bases to go under them— two bases for each frame, one under each projection.For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty framesand forty silver bases— two under each frame.Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,and make two frames for the corners at the far end.At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that.So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases— two under each frame.“ Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.“ Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.“ Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.Put the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place.Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.“ For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen— the work of an embroiderer.Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them. (niv)

Ezéchiel 40:1-42
In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city— on that very day the hand of the Lord was on me and he took me there.In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city.He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.The man said to me,“ Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the people of Israel everything you see.”I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.Then he went to the east gate. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep.The alcoves for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.Then he measured the portico of the gateway;it was eight cubits deep and its jambs were two cubits thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.Inside the east gate were three alcoves on each side; the three had the same measurements, and the faces of the projecting walls on each side had the same measurements.Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square.Then he measured the gateway from the top of the rear wall of one alcove to the top of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from one parapet opening to the opposite one.He measured along the faces of the projecting walls all around the inside of the gateway— sixty cubits. The measurement was up to the portico facing the courtyard.The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.The alcoves and the projecting walls inside the gateway were surmounted by narrow parapet openings all around, as was the portico; the openings all around faced inward. The faces of the projecting walls were decorated with palm trees.Then he brought me into the outer court. There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms along the pavement.It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement.Then he measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court.Its alcoves— three on each side— its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.Its openings, its portico and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.Then he led me to the south side and I saw the south gate. He measured its jambs and its portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.The gateway and its portico had narrow openings all around, like the openings of the others. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them; it had palm tree decorations on the faces of the projecting walls on each side.The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured from this gate to the outer gate on the south side; it was a hundred cubits.Then he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.Its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.( The porticoes of the gateways around the inner court were twenty-five cubits wide and five cubits deep.)Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.Its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,as did its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico, and it had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings were washed.In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings and guilt offerings were slaughtered.By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables.So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other— eight tables in all— on which the sacrifices were slaughtered.There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high. On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices. (niv)
