| 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. | 2The width of the entrance was 17 1/2 feet, and the sides of the entrance were 8 3/4 feet on each side. He measured the length of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet, and its width as 35 feet. |
| 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. | 3Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance as 3 1/2 feet, the entrance as 10 1/2 feet, and the width of the entrance as 12¼ feet |
| 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." | 4Then he measured its length as 35 feet, and its width as 35 feet, before the outer sanctuary. He said to me, "This is the most holy place." |

| 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. | 6The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty in each story. There were offsets in the wall all around to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that the supports were not in the wall of the temple. |
| 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. | 7The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story; for the structure surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple. For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up, and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story. |

The interior of the great hall and the porticoes of the court-- | 15Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, with its galleries on either side as 175 feet. The interior of the outer sanctuary and the porch of the court, |
| 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), | 16as well as the thresholds, narrow windows and galleries all around on three sides facing the threshold were paneled with wood all around, from the ground up to the windows (now the windows were covered), |
| 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 | 17to the space above the entrance, to the inner room, and on the outside, and on all the walls in the inner room and outside, by measurement. |
| 18carved with cherubim and palm trees. There was a palm tree between each pair of cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: | 18It was made with cherubim and decorative palm trees, with a palm tree between each cherub. Each cherub had two faces: |
| 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. | 19a human face toward the palm tree on one side and a lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around; |
| 20Cherubim and palm trees were carved from the ground to the top of the entrance and on the wall of the great hall. | 20from the ground to the area above the entrance, cherubim and decorative palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary. |

| 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." | 22The altar was of wood, 5¼ feet high, with its length 3 1/2 feet; its corners, its length, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." |
| 23The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door, | 23The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door. |
| 24and each of the doors had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. | 24Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. |
| 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. | 25On the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees, like those carved on the walls, and there was a canopy of wood on the front of the outside porch. |
