| 1Then he brought me to the nave and measured the jambs. On each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs. | 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. |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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. |
| 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.” | 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 thick, and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple. | 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. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 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 temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits. | 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. The free space between the side chambers of the temple and the | 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 |
| 10other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. | 10and the outer chambers was 35 feet wide all around the temple. |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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; and the yard and the building with its walls, 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 breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits. | 14The width of the front of the temple along with the temple yard to the east was 175 feet. |
| 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, | 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 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), | 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), |
| 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. | 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 of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. 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 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. | 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 floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly 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 squared, and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling | 21The doorposts of the great hall were square, and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance. |
| 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.” | 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 Holy Place had each a double door. | 23The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door, |
| 24The double doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door. | 24and each of the doors had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 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. |
