| New American Standard Bible 1995 | International Standard Version |
| 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. | 1Next he brought me to the Temple and measured its door jambs at six cubits wide on each side of the structure. |
| 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. | 2The entrance was ten cubits wide and its door jambs were five cubits wide on each side. He measured the length of the nave at 40 cubits and its width at 20 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 inside and measured the door jambs at two cubits wide and the doorway at six cubits high. The doorway was seven cubits wide. |
| 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." | 4He measured its length at 20 cubits, its width at 20 cubits in front of the structure, and then he told me, "This is the most holy area." |
| 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. | 5Next, he measured the Temple walls at six cubits high and the width of the side chambers at four cubits around all four sides of 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. | 6The side chambers consisted of three stories, each above the other, with 30 chambers in each story. The side chambers extended out from the wall that faced the inside of the chambers where the chambers were fastened together, but the chamber walls were not fastened directly into the Temple walls themselves. |
| 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. | 7The side chambers surrounding the Temple were wider at each successive story, because the surrounding structure ascended by proportional increments as it rose, ascending to the highest story by going up successively from the lowest. |
| 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 observed a raised platform that surrounded the Temple, and the foundations of the side chambers were a full six cubits deep. |
| 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 outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick, and there was an empty space between the Temple's side chambers |
| 10and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. | 10and its outer chambers 20 cubits in width, surrounding the Temple on each 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. | 11The side chamber doorway facing the free space contained a single north-facing doorway and a second south-facing doorway. The width of the free space was five cubits all around the perimeter. |
| 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 faced the west side of the courtyard was 70 cubits wide, and the building's wall was five cubits thick all around. It was 90 cubits long. |
| 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. It was 100 cubits long, and the courtyard, its building, and its walls were 100 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. | 14The front of the Temple and its east-facing courtyard were each 100 cubits long. |
| 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. | 15Next, he measured 100 cubits as the length of the structure toward the front of the courtyard that stood behind it, where it housed a gallery on each side of it. Then he measured the Temple and the inner porticos of the courtyard, |
| 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, the shielded windows, and the surrounding three-storied galleries that stood opposite. From the ground to the shielded windows, they were paneled with wood all around, |
| 17over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. | 17including up to the doorway, up to the Temple (both within and without) and all around both sides of the inner wall, according to his measurement. |
| 18It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, | 18There were carved cherubim and palm trees, alternating with a palm tree between a cherub, and each 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. | 19with a human face looking toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face looking toward the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended all the way around the Temple, |
| 20From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. | 20from the ground to above the doorway, as well as on the walls of the main sanctuary. |
| 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 door posts of the main sanctuary were square. Each door post was identical in appearance to the others. |
| 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." | 22The altar was made of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. He told me, "This table stands in the LORD's presence." |
| 23The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. | 23The nave and the sanctuary each were equipped with double doors. |
| 24Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. | 24Each door had two sections mounted on hinges, for a total of two sections for one door and two sections for the other. |
| 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. | 25The doors of the nave had carvings engraved on them, consisting of cherubim and palm trees identical to those on the walls. The front of the exterior porch was equipped with a wooden threshold. |
| 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. | 26Shielded windows and palm trees were visible on both sides; that is, on the sides of the porch, the side chambers of the Temple, and on its thresholds. |
