Then he went into the inner room and measured the pilasters on the entrance, which were two cubits, and the entrance was six cubits, and the walls on the entrance were seven cubits wide on each side—measuring the entrance to the holy of holies. The progressively narrower entrance (from twenty cubits at the outer sanctuary to ten cubits at the entrance to the inner sanctuary to six cubits at the holy of holies) emphasizes the progression toward increasing holiness. The seven-cubit walls on each side of the holy of holies entrance suggest substantial supporting walls. This verse provides dimensions of the entrance to the most holy space.
