1 He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits
broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the
breadth of the tent. 2 The breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the
sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on
the other side: and he measured the length of it, forty cubits, and the
breadth, twenty cubits. 3 Then went he inward, and measured each post of
the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of
the entrance, seven cubits. 4 He measured the length of it, twenty cubits,
and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is
the most holy place. 5 Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits;
and the breadth of every side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on
every side. 6 The side-chambers were in three stories, one over another,
and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the
house for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold
therein, and not have hold in the wall of the house. 7 The
side-chambers were broader as they encompassed the house higher and
higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about
the house: therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and
so one went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the
middle chamber. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised base
round about: the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed of six
great cubits. 9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the
side-chambers, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was
the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house. 10 Between the
chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
11 The doors of the side-chambers were toward the place that was
left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the
breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about. 12 The
building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was
seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick
round about, and the length of it ninety cubits. 13 So he measured the
house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building,
with the walls of it, one hundred cubits long; 14 also the breadth of the
face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred
cubits. 15 He measured the length of the building before the separate
place which was at the back of it, and the galleries of it on the one side
and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the
porches of the court; 16 the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the
galleries round about on their three stories, over against the threshold,
with wood ceilings round about, and from the ground up to the
windows, (now the windows were covered), 17 to the space above the
door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall round about
inside and outside, by measure. 18 It was made with cherubim and palm
trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had
two faces; 19 so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on
the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other
side. thus was it made through all the house round about: 20 from
the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the
wall of the temple. 21 As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and
as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance of it was as the
appearance of the temple. 22 The altar was of wood, three cubits
high, and the length of it two cubits; and the corners of it, and the length
of it, and the walls of it, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the
table that is before Yahweh. 23 The temple and the sanctuary had two
doors. 24 The doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves: two
leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other. 25 There
were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like
as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of
the porch outside. 26 There were closed windows and palm trees on the one
side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the
side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
