1 T hen he brought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side—the width of the tabernacle.

He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.

2 T he width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.

The width of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

3 A lso he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

4 H e measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place. ” The Side Chambers on the Wall

He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

5 N ext, he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.

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

6 T he side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but not fastened to the wall of the temple.

The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported, and not penetrate the wall of the house.

7 A s one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.

The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.

8 I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, a full rod, that is, six cubits high.

I saw also that the house had a raised base all around: the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

9 T he thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and so also the remaining terrace by the place of the side chambers of the temple.

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

10 A nd between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.

Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

11 T he doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace was five cubits all around. The Building at the Western End

The doors of the side rooms were toward an open area that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.

12 T he building that faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits. Dimensions and Design of the Temple Area

The building that was before the separate place 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 ninety cubits.

13 S o he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long;

So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

14 a lso the width of the eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one hundred cubits.

also the width of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

15 H e measured the length of the building behind it, facing the separating courtyard, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner temple and the porches of the court,

He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

16 t heir doorposts and the beveled window frames. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with wood from the ground to the windows—the windows were covered—

the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

17 f rom the space above the door, even to the inner room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure.

to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

18 A nd it was made with cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces,

It was made 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 a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward a palm tree on the other side; thus it was made throughout the temple all around.

so that there was the face of a man 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 like this through all the house all around:

20 F rom the floor to the space above the door, and on the wall of the sanctuary, cherubim and palm trees were carved.

from the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

21 T he doorposts of the temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; their appearance was similar.

As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.

22 T he altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood; and he 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; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before Yahweh.

23 T he temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 T he doors had two panels apiece, two folding panels: two panels for one door and two panels for the other door.

The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

25 C herubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the temple just as they were carved on the walls. A wooden canopy was on the front of the vestibule outside.

There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

26 T here were beveled window frames and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the vestibule—also on the side chambers of the temple and on the canopies.

There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side rooms of the house, and the thresholds.
