1 ¶ Afterward he brought me to the temple and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the arch.

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 each door was ten cubits, and the sides 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 he went inward and measured each post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, 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 S o he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple; and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

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 A fter he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of the chambers, four cubits, round about the house 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 A nd the chambers were one over another, and thirty-three by order; and they entered supports into the wall of the house round about, upon which the chambers might have hold, but they did not have hold upon the wall of the house.

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 there was an enlarging and a winding about in the chambers to the highest part; for the winding about of the house went very high round about inside the house; therefore the house had greater breadth upward, and from the lowest chamber it rose to the highest by the one in the middle.

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 the height of the house round about; the foundations of the chambers were a full reed of six great 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 outside wall of the chambers was five cubits; and the space that was left of the chambers that were within.

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 the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

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

11 A nd the door of each chamber was toward the space that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south; and the breadth of the space that was left 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 ¶ Now the building that was before the separate place to the side toward the west 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 S o he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one 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 face of the house, and of the separate place toward the south, one 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 A nd he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and its chambers on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the portals of the court.

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 T he thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the chambers, three around about to the front, all covered with wood round about from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were also covered.

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 A bove over the door, and unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, he took measurements.

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 A nd the wall was decorated with cherubim and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and each 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 lion toward the palm tree on the other side, 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 ground unto above the door, cherubim and palm trees were made, and upon the entire 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 E ach post of the temple was squared, and the front of the sanctuary was as the other front.

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 T he altar of wood was three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and the surface thereof, and its walls, were of wood; and he said unto 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 and the sanctuary had two doors.

The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door.

24 A nd the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning 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 made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

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 narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and of the house, and upon the beams.

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.
