| New King James Version | NET Bible |
| 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. | 1Then he brought me to the outer sanctuary, and measured the jambs; the jambs were 10 1/2 feet wide on each side. |
| 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 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. |
| 3Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven 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 |
| 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.” | 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." |
| 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 as 10 1/2 feet, and the width of the side chambers as 7 feet, all around the temple. |
| 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 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. |
| 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 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. |
| 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 all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick of 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 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 |
| 10And between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. | 10and the chambers of the court was 35 feet in width all around the temple on every side. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 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 he measured the temple as 175 feet long, the courtyard of the temple and the building and its walls as 175 feet long, |
| 14also the width of the eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one hundred cubits. | 14and also the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard on the east as 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, | 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, |
| 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— | 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), |
| 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. | 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. |
| 18And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. 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: |
| 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 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; |
| 20From the floor to the space above the door, and on the wall of the sanctuary, cherubim and palm trees were carved. | 20from the ground to the area above the entrance, cherubim and decorative palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary. |
| 21The doorposts of the temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; their appearance was similar. | 21The doorposts of the outer sanctuary were square. In front of the sanctuary one doorpost looked just like the other. |
| 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 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 temple and the sanctuary had two doors. | 23The outer sanctuary and the inner 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. | 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 temple just as they were carved on the walls. A wooden canopy was on the front of the vestibule outside. | 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. |
| 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 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. |
