Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.1Next he brought me to the Temple and measured its door jambs at six cubits wide on each side of the structure.
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 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.
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 the door jambs at two cubits wide and the doorway at six cubits high. The doorway was seven cubits wide.
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 at 20 cubits, its width at 20 cubits in front of the structure, and then he told me, "This is the most holy area."
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.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.
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 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.
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 surrounding structure ascended by proportional increments as it rose, ascending to the highest story by going up successively from the lowest.
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 observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits deep.
9The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple9The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple's side chambers
10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.10and its outer chambers 20 cubits in width, surrounding the Temple on each 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 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 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 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.
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. It was 100 cubits long, and the courtyard, its building, and its walls were 100 cubits long.
14The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.14The front of the Temple and its east-facing courtyard were each 100 cubits long.
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,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,
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 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,
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,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.
18were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each 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,
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.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,
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 doorway, as well as on the walls of the main sanctuary.
21The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.21The door posts of the main sanctuary were square. Each door post was identical in appearance to the others.
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 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."
23Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,23The nave and the sanctuary each were equipped with double doors.
24and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.24Each door had two sections mounted on hinges, for a total of two sections for one door and two sections 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.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.
26There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.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.
