| 1Then he brought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side—the width of the tabernacle. | 1Next he brought me into the great hall and measured the jambs; on each side the width of the jamb was 10 1/2 feet. |
| 2The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its 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. |
| 3Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits. | 3He went inside the next room and measured the jambs 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 the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; 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." |
| 5Next, he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits 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 7 feet. |
| 6The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but not fastened to the wall of the temple. | 6The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of thirty 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. |
| 7As one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one. | 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 also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, a full rod, that is, six cubits high. | 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, and so also the remaining terrace by the place of the side chambers 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 between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. | 10and the outer chambers was 35 feet wide all around the temple. |
| 11The doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace 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 faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; 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. |
| 13So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one 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 eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one 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 behind it, facing the separating courtyard, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner temple 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-- |
| 16their doorposts and the beveled window frames. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with wood from the ground to the windows—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), |
| 17from the space above the door, even to the inner room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure. | 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 |
| 18And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. 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: |
| 19so that the face of a man was toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward a palm tree on the other side; thus it was made throughout the 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 the space above the door, and on the wall of the sanctuary, cherubim and palm trees were carved. | 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 temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; their appearance was similar. | 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 length, 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 temple and the sanctuary had two doors. | 23The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door, |
| 24The doors had two panels apiece, two folding panels: two panels for one door and two panels for the other door. | 24and each of the doors had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. |
| 25Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the temple just as they were carved on the walls. A wooden canopy was on the 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. |
| 26There were beveled window frames and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the vestibule—also on the side chambers of the temple and on 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. |
