| 1Then he brought me to the outer sanctuary, and measured the jambs; the jambs were 10 1/2 feet wide on each side. | 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 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. | 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 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 | 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. |
| 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." | 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 as 10 1/2 feet, and the width of the side chambers as 7 feet, all around the temple. | 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 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. | 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; 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. | 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 that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick of 10 1/2 feet high. | 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 width of the outer wall of the side chambers was 8 3/4 feet, and the open area between the side chambers of 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 chambers of the court was 35 feet in width all around the temple on every side. | 10other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. |
| 11There were entrances from the side chambers toward the open area, one entrance toward the north, and another entrance toward the south; the width of the open area was 8 3/4 feet 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 facing the temple courtyard at the west side was 122 1/2 feet wide; the wall of the building was 8 3/4 feet all around, and its length 157 1/2 feet. | 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 as 175 feet long, the courtyard of the temple and the building and its walls as 175 feet long, | 13Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long; |
| 14and also the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard on the east as 175 feet. | 14also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits. |
| 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, | 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, |
| 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), | 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), |
| 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. | 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 made with cherubim and decorative palm trees, with a palm tree between each cherub. Each 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 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; | 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 the area above the entrance, cherubim and decorative palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary. | 20From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave. |
| 21The doorposts of the outer sanctuary were square. In front of the sanctuary one doorpost looked just like the other. | 21The doorposts of the nave were squared, and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling |
| 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." | 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 outer sanctuary and the inner 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. |
| 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. | 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 narrow windows and decorative palm trees on either side of the side walls of the porch; this is what the side chambers of the temple and the canopies were like. | 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. |
