What were the dimensions of the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary?

The Holy of Holies measured 15 by 15 feet, and the sanctuary measured 30 by 15 feet. These dimensions are part of the tabernacle structure, which was 45 feet long by 15 feet wide, with all numbers divisible by 5, the number of grace.

Les explains that the tabernacle tent was 45 feet long by 15 feet wide. The back room, the Holy of Holies, was 15 by 15, and the front, called the sanctuary, was 30 by 15. He notes all numbers in the tabernacle are divisible by 5, the number of grace. The sanctuary had no windows and no chairs, because the priests' work was never finished, whereas Christ sat down after finishing His work, as Hebrews chapter 1 says.
