| 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. | 1Next he brought me into the great hall and measured the pilasters; on each side the width of the pilaster was 10 1/2 feet. |
| 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. | 2The width of the entrance was 17 1/2 feet, and the side walls of the entrance were 8 3/4 feet wide on each side. He also measured the length of the great hall, 70 feet, and the width, 35 feet. |
| 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. | 3He went inside the next room and measured the pilasters at the entrance; they were 3 1/2 feet wide. The entrance was 10 1/2 feet wide, and the width of the entrance's side walls on each side was 12 1/4 feet. |
| 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." | 4He then measured the length of the room adjacent to the great hall, 35 feet, and the width, 35 feet. And he said to me, "This is the most holy place." |
| 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. | 5Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10 1/2 feet thick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was seven feet. |
| 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. | 6The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of 30 rooms each. There were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself. |
| 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. | 7The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple's broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one. |
| 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. | 8I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10 1/2 feet high. |
| 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 | 9The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8 3/4 feet. The free space between the side rooms of the temple |
| 10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. | 10and the outer chambers was 35 feet wide all around the temple. |
| 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. | 11The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8 3/4 feet wide all around. |
| 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. | 12Now the building that faced the temple yard toward the west was 122 1/2 feet wide. The wall of the building was 8 3/4 feet thick on all sides, and the building's length was 157 1/2 feet. |
| 13Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits long. | 13Then the man measured the temple; it was 175 feet long. In addition, the temple yard and the building, including its walls, were 175 feet long. |
| 14Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits. | 14The width of the front of the temple along with the temple yard to the east was 175 feet. |
| 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. | 15Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple yard to the west, with its galleries on each side; it was 175 feet. The interior of the great hall and the porticoes of the court-- |
| 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), | 16the thresholds, the beveled windows, and the balconies 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 (but the windows were covered), |
| 17over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. | 17reaching to the top of the entrance, and as far as the inner temple and on the outside. On every wall all around, on the inside and outside, was a pattern |
| 18It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, | 18carved with cherubim and palm trees. There was a palm tree between each pair of cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: |
| 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. | 19a human face turned toward the palm tree on one side, and a lion's face turned toward it on the other. They were carved throughout the temple on all sides. |
| 20From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. | 20Cherubim and palm trees were carved from the ground to the top of the entrance and on the wall of the great hall. |
| 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. | 21The doorposts of the great hall were square, and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance. |
| 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." | 22The altar was made of wood, 5 1/4 feet high and 3 1/2 feet long. It had corners, and its length and sides were of wood. The man told me, "This is the table that stands before the LORD." |
| 23The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. | 23The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door, |
| 24Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. | 24and each of the doors had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. |
| 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. | 25Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the great hall like those carved on the walls. There was a wooden canopy outside, in front of the portico. |
| 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. | 26There were beveled windows and palm trees on both sides, on the side walls of the portico, the side rooms of the temple, and the canopies. |
