| 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 side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar. |
| 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. | 2The 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. |
| 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 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. |
| 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.” | 4He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before 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; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. |
| 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. | 6The 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. |
| 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. | 7The 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. |
| 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 house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height. |
| 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. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple |
| 10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. | 10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width 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. | 11The 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. |
| 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 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. |
| 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; the separate area with the building and its walls were also 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 width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled 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, | 15He 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. |
| 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, 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), |
| 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, | 17over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. |
| 18were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces: | 18It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and 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 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. |
| 20Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance. | 20From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on 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 square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. |
| 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.” | 22The 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." |
| 23Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors, | 23The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. |
| 24and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. | 24Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. |
| 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. | 25Also 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. |
| 26There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies. | 26There 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. |
