1 A nd the man brought me to the temple and measured the wall pillars, six cubits broad on one side and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle or tent.

Then he brought me to the nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar.

2 A nd the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits, and the leaves of the door were five cubits on the one side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits.

The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

3 T hen the man went inside and measured each post of the door, two cubits, the doorway, six cubits, and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.

Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.

4 A nd he measured the length in the temple proper, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits; and he said to me, This is the Most Holy Place (the Holy of Holies).

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.”

5 T hen he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the temple proper on every side.

Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side.

6 T hese side chambers were three stories high, one over another and thirty in each story; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold of the wall, but they did not have hold of the wall of the temple.

The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

7 A nd the side rooms became broader as they encompassed the temple higher and higher, for the encircling of the house went higher and higher round about the temple; therefore the breadth of the house continued upward, and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest one by way of the middle story.

The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

8 I saw also that the temple had an elevation or foundation platform round about it. The foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed measure of six long cubits.

I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.

9 T he thickness of the outer wall of the side chamber was five cubits, as was the width of that part of the foundation that was left free of the side chambers that belonged to the house.

The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple

10 A nd between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the temple on every side.

and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side.

11 A nd the doors of the attached side chambers opened on the free space that was left, one door toward the north and another door toward the south; and the breadth of the space on the foundation platform that was left free was five cubits round about.

The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.

12 A nd the building that faced the temple yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and its length ninety cubits.

The building that was in front of the separate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

13 A nd the man measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;

Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

14 A lso the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits.

Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

15 T hen the man measured the length of the building on the west side of the yard with its walls on either side, a hundred cubits. The Holy Place of the temple, the inner Holy of Holies, and the outer vestibule

He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court.

16 W ere roofed over, and all three had latticed windows all around. The inside walls of the temple were paneled with wood round about from the floor up to the windows and from the windows to the roof,

The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),

17 I ncluding the space above the door leading to the inner room, inside and out. And on the walls round about in the inner room and the Holy Place were carvings,

over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.

18 W ith figures of cherubim and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces,

It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,

19 S o that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. It was made this way through all the house round about.

a man’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around.

20 F rom the floor to above the entrance were cherubim and palm trees made, and also on the wall of the temple.

From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.

21 T he door frames of the temple were squared, and in front was what appeared to be

The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other.

22 A n altar of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long; and its corners, its base, and its sides were of wood. And the man said to me, This is the table that is before the Lord.

The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”

23 A nd the temple or Holy Place and the sanctuary or Holy of Holies, had two doors.

The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door.

24 A nd the doors had two leaves apiece, two folding leaves—two leaves for the one door and two leaves for the other door.

Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

25 A nd there were carved on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like those carved upon the walls; and there was also a canopy of wood in front of the porch outside.

Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside.

26 A nd there were recessed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side of the porch. Thus were the side chambers and the canopies of the house.

There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds.
