| 1Then he brought me to the nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar. | 1Then he brought me to the nave and measured the jambs. On each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs. |
| 2The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits. | 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. |
| 3Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. | 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. |
| 4He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, "This is the most holy place." | 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.” |
| 5Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. | 5Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple. |
| 6The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. | 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. |
| 7The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story. | 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. |
| 8I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height. | 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. |
| 9The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple | 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 |
| 10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. | 10other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. |
| 11The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around. | 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. |
| 12The building that was in front of the separate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits. | 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. |
| 13Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits long. | 13Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long; |
| 14Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits. | 14also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits. |
| 15He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. | 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, |
| 16The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), | 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), |
| 17over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. | 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. |
| 18It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, | 18It was carved of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces: |
| 19a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around. | 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. |
| 20From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. | 20From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave. |
| 21The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. | 21The doorposts of the nave were squared, and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling |
| 22The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." | 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.” |
| 23The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. | 23The nave and the Holy Place had each a double door. |
| 24Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. | 24The double doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door. |
| 25Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. | 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. |
| 26There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds. | 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. |
