| 1Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. | 1Next he brought me to the Temple and measured its door jambs at six cubits wide on each side of the structure. |
| 2And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. | 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. |
| 3Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven 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. |
| 4So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. | 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." |
| 5After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. | 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. |
| 6And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house. | 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. |
| 7And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. | 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. |
| 8I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. | 8I observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits deep. |
| 9The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within. | 9The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple's side chambers |
| 10And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. | 10and its outer chambers 20 cubits in width, surrounding the Temple on each side. |
| 11And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about. | 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. |
| 12Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. | 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. |
| 13So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; | 13Then he measured the Temple. It was 100 cubits long, and the courtyard, its building, and its walls were 100 cubits long. |
| 14Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. | 14The front of the Temple and its east-facing courtyard were each 100 cubits long. |
| 15And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; | 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, |
| 16The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered; | 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, |
| 17To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure. | 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. |
| 18And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; | 18There were carved cherubim and palm trees, alternating with a palm tree between a cherub, and each cherub had two faces, |
| 19So that the face of a man was 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 through all the house round about. | 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, |
| 20From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple. | 20from the ground to above the doorway, as well as on the walls of the main sanctuary. |
| 21The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. | 21The door posts of the main sanctuary were square. Each door post was identical in appearance to the others. |
| 22The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD. | 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." |
| 23And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. | 23The nave and the sanctuary each were equipped with double doors. |
| 24And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. | 24Each door had two sections mounted on hinges, for a total of two sections for one door and two sections for the other. |
| 25And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without. | 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. |
| 26And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks. | 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. |
