CEB 1 He brought me to the main hall, and he measured the arches. They were nine feet deep on both sides, so that was also the depth of the tent. NIV 1 Then the man brought me to the main hall and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits on each side. CEB 2 The entrance was fifteen feet wide, and the facades on either side of the entrance were seven and a half feet. When he measured its length, it was sixty feet, and its width was thirty feet.

There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple.

One ascended from the foundation to the top by way of the middle story. NIV 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.

From the ground up to the windows was covered. NIV 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered. CEB 17 Above the entrance, from the interior to the exterior of the temple, and on every interior and exterior wall, NIV 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary CEB 18 there were carved winged creatures and palm trees. The palm trees were positioned between the winged creatures, and each winged creature had two faces. NIV 18 were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: CEB 19 A human face turned toward one palm tree, and the face of a lion turned toward another. They were carved on the temple all the way around. NIV 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple. CEB 20 From the ground to above the entrance, the walls of the main hall were carved with winged creatures and palm trees. NIV 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.

The man said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.” CEB 23 The main hall and the holy place each had two doors, NIV 23 Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors. CEB 24 and each door had two turning panels, two for one door and two for the other. NIV 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves for each door. CEB 25 Like the walls, the doors of the main hall were carved with winged creatures and palm trees. A single luxuriant tree stood outside, in front of the porch, NIV 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. CEB 26 while closed windows and palm trees decorated both sides of the facade of the porch, the temple's side chambers, and the beams.
