| Berean Study Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side. | 1Then he brought me to the nave and measured the jambs. On each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs. |
| 2The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits. | 2And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits. |
| 3And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide. | 3Then he went into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls on either side of the entrance, seven cubits. |
| 4Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.” | 4And he measured the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, across the nave. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.” |
| 5Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits. | 5Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple. |
| 6The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. | 6And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple. |
| 7The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one. | 7And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and so one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story. |
| 8I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits. | 8I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits. |
| 9The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple | 9The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. The free space between the side chambers of the temple and the |
| 10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. | 10other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. |
| 11The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around. | 11And the doors of the side chambers opened on the free space, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. And the breadth of the free space was five cubits all around. |
| 12Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits. | 12The building that was facing the separate yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits. |
| 13Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. | 13Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long; |
| 14The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits. | 14also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits. |
| 15Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court, | 15Then he measured the length of the building facing the yard that was at the back and its galleries on either side, a hundred cubits. The inside of the nave and the vestibules of the court, |
| 16as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered. | 16the thresholds and the narrow windows and the galleries all around the three of them, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered), |
| 17In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary, | 17to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls all around, inside and outside, was a measured pattern. |
| 18were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces: | 18It was carved of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces: |
| 19the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple. | 19a human face toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around. |
| 20Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance. | 20From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave. |
| 21The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar. | 21The doorposts of the nave were squared, and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling |
| 22There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.” | 22an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad. Its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.” |
| 23Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors, | 23The nave and the Holy Place had each a double door. |
| 24and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. | 24The double doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door. |
| 25Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico. | 25And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, such as were carved on the walls. And there was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside. |
| 26There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies. | 26And there were narrow windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule, the side chambers of the temple, and the canopies. |
