| 1Next he brought me to the Temple and measured its door jambs at six cubits wide on each side of the structure. | 1Then he brought me to the nave and measured the jambs. On each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs. |
| 2The entrance was ten cubits wide and its door jambs were five cubits wide on each side. He measured the length of the nave at 40 cubits and its width at 20 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. |
| 3Then he went inside and measured the door jambs at two cubits wide and the doorway at six cubits high. The doorway was 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. |
| 4He measured its length at 20 cubits, its width at 20 cubits in front of the structure, and then he told me, "This is the most holy area." | 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 Temple walls at six cubits high and the width of the side chambers at four cubits around all four sides of the Temple. | 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 chambers consisted of three stories, each above the other, with 30 chambers in each story. The side chambers extended out from the wall that faced the inside of the chambers where the chambers were fastened together, but the chamber walls were not fastened directly into the Temple walls themselves. | 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 chambers surrounding the Temple were wider at each successive story, because the surrounding structure ascended by proportional increments as it rose, ascending to the highest story by going up successively from the lowest. | 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 observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits deep. | 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 chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple's side chambers | 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 its outer chambers 20 cubits in width, surrounding the Temple on each side. | 10other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. |
| 11The side chamber doorway facing the free space contained a single north-facing doorway and a second south-facing doorway. The width of the free space was five cubits all around the perimeter. | 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. |
| 12The building that faced the west side of the courtyard was 70 cubits wide, and the building's wall was five cubits thick all around. It was 90 cubits long. | 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. It was 100 cubits long, and the courtyard, its building, and its walls were 100 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 front of the Temple and its east-facing courtyard were each 100 cubits long. | 14also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits. |
| 15Next, he measured 100 cubits as the length of the structure toward the front of the courtyard that stood behind it, where it housed a gallery on each side of it. Then he measured the Temple and the inner porticos of the courtyard, | 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, |
| 16the thresholds, the shielded windows, and the surrounding three-storied galleries that stood opposite. From the ground to the shielded windows, they were paneled with wood all around, | 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), |
| 17including up to the doorway, up to the Temple (both within and without) and all around both sides of the inner wall, according to his measurement. | 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. |
| 18There were carved cherubim and palm trees, alternating with a palm tree between a cherub, and 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: |
| 19with a human face looking toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face looking toward the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended 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. |
| 20from the ground to above the doorway, as well as on the walls of the main sanctuary. | 20From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave. |
| 21The door posts of the main sanctuary were square. Each door post was identical in appearance to the others. | 21The doorposts of the nave were squared, and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling |
| 22The altar was made of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. He told me, "This table stands in the LORD's presence." | 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.” |
| 23The nave and the sanctuary each were equipped with double doors. | 23The nave and the Holy Place had each a double door. |
| 24Each door had two sections mounted on hinges, for a total of two sections for one door and two sections for the other. | 24The double doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door. |
| 25The doors of the nave had carvings engraved on them, consisting of cherubim and palm trees identical to those on the walls. The front of the exterior porch was equipped with a wooden threshold. | 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. |
| 26Shielded windows and palm trees were visible on both sides; that is, on the sides of the porch, the side chambers of the Temple, and on its thresholds. | 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. |
