1Then the man brought me to the main hall and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits on each side.

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 entrance was ten cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

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 sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits wide.

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 inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall. 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; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits wide.

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 rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into 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.

7The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.

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 that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, 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 outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of 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 priests' rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

10and the outer chambers was 35 feet wide all around the temple.

11There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide 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 facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits wide. 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; it was a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with 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.

14The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was 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 courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing 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--

16as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and galleries around the three of them--everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and 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),

17In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary

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

18were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each 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:

19the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.

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 the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.

20Cherubim and palm trees were carved from the ground to the top of the entrance and on the wall of the great hall.

21The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar.

21The doorposts of the great hall were square, and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.

22There was a wooden altar three cubits high and two cubits square; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. The man 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."

23Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors.

23The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door,

24Each door had two leaves--two hinged 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 main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico.

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.

26On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.

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.
