He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, "This is the most holy place."I wonder what the significance of the size of the most holy place was? Is there some special reason it needed to have those dimensions? Was that the size needed to contain the object that would be stored in it, or something?
Also, I wonder why he felt the need to specify what the area was for? I would think it would be obvious, given how the rest of the temple was laid out. Was this somehow different from how the previous Temple operated, that Ezekiel wouldn't have naturally known the significance of the location?
