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

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 T he 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.

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 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.

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 H e measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to 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 T hen 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.

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 T he 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.

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 T he 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.

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 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.

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

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

10 a nd the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side.

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

11 T he 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.

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 T he 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.

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 T hen he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a 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 width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

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

15 H e 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.

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 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),

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

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 I t was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and 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 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.

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

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

21 T he doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that 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 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.”

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 T he nave and the sanctuary each had a double door.

The center room and the most holy place each had two doors.

24 E ach of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.

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

25 A lso 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.

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 T here 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.

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.
