1 A fterward 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 tabernacle.

Then he brought me into the center room, and showed me the width of the side pillars. They were six cubits wide on each side.

2 A nd the breadth of the 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 the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

The doorway was ten cubits wide, and the side walls on each side of it were five cubits wide. The center room was as long as forty cubits and as wide as twenty cubits.

3 T hen went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

Then he went into a smaller room. Each side pillar of the doorway was two cubits wide, and the doorway was six cubits high and seven cubits wide.

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.

The room was as long as twenty cubits and as wide as twenty cubits, at the far end of the center room. 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 every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

Then he showed me that the wall of the Lord’s house was six cubits in width. And the side rooms all around the house on every side were four cubits wide.

6 A nd the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

The side rooms were on three floors, one above the other, and thirty on each floor. The outside wall on each floor was not as wide as the one below it, so the side rooms could sit upon the wall without being nailed to it.

7 A nd there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

The side rooms at the top were larger than the ones at the bottom, all around the Lord’s house. The house became wider as it went higher. There were steps leading up from the first floor all the way to the third floor.

8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

I saw that the house had a raised base all around it, which made the base for the side rooms six cubits high.

9 T he thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.

The width of the outside wall of the side rooms was five cubits. But the open space between the side rooms

10 A nd between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

and the center rooms was as wide as twenty cubits all around the house on every side.

11 A nd the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.

There were doorways to the side rooms from this open space, one on the north and another on the south. The width of this open space was five cubits wide all around.

12 N ow the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

The building in front of the open space of the Lord’s house, on the west side, was as wide as seventy cubits. The width of the building wall was five cubits, and it was as long as ninety cubits.

13 S o he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

Then he showed me that the Lord’s house was as long as 100 cubits. The open space and the other building and its walls were also as long as 100 cubits.

14 A lso the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

And the front of the Lord’s house and its grounds on the east side were as wide as 100 cubits.

15 A nd he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

He showed me the length of the building to the west, with its walkways on each side. It was as long as 100 cubits. The center room, the most holy place, and the outer porch,

16 T he door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

all had roofs of wood. And all three had windows with wooden cross-pieces all around. The inside walls of the house were covered with wood from the floor up to the windows, and from the windows to the roof.

17 T o that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

There was wood covering the wall above the door, and all the way to the most holy place, and all the walls both inside and out.

18 A nd it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

Pictures of cherubim and palm trees were cut into the wood. A palm tree was between every two cherubim, and each 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 through all the house round about.

The face of a man looked toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward the palm tree on the other side. These pictures were cut into the wood all around the Lord’s house.

20 F rom the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

There were cherubim and palm trees from the floor to above the door, and on the wall of the center room.

21 T he posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.

The pillars beside the door of the center room were the same width on all four sides, and they looked alike.

22 T he altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.

There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits long. Its corners, base, and sides were made 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 center room and the most holy place each had two doors.

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.

And each of these doors had two parts that opened and closed.

25 A nd there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

Pictures of cherubim and palm trees were made on the doors of the center room, like the pictures on the walls. And there was a roof of wood over 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 upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

There were windows with wooden cross-pieces and palm trees cut on each side wall of the house porch. It was the same on the side rooms of the house and their roofs.
