The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 He brought me into the Temple itself and measured the doorposts on each side. Each was ten and a half feet thick.
1
et introduxit me in templum et mensus est frontes sex cubitos latitudinis hinc et sex cubitos latitudinis inde latitudinem tabernaculi
2 The entrance was seventeen and a half feet wide. The walls on each side were eight and three-quarters feet thick. He also measured the Temple Sanctuary: seventy feet by thirty-five feet.
2
et latitudo portae decem cubitorum erat et latera portae quinque cubitis hinc et quinque cubitis inde et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum et latitudinem viginti cubitorum
3 He went further in and measured the doorposts at the entrance: Each was three and a half feet thick. The entrance itself was ten and a half feet wide, and the entrance walls were twelve and a quarter feet thick.
3
et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portae duos cubitos et portam sex cubitorum et latitudinem portae septem cubitorum
4 He measured the inside Sanctuary, thirty-five feet square, set at the end of the main Sanctuary. He told me, "This is The Holy of Holies."
4
et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum et latitudinem viginti cubitorum ante faciem templi et dixit ad me hoc est sanctum sanctorum
5 He measured the wall of the Temple. It was ten and a half feet thick. The side rooms around the Temple were seven feet wide.
5
et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum et latitudinem lateris quattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus
6 There were three floors of these side rooms, thirty rooms on each of the three floors. There were supporting beams around the Temple wall to hold up the side rooms, but they were freestanding, not attached to the wall itself.
6
latera autem latus ad latus bis triginta tria et erant eminentia quae ingrederentur per parietem domus in lateribus per circuitum ut continerent et non adtingerent parietem templi
7 The side rooms around the Temple became wider from first floor to second floor to third floor. A staircase went from the bottom floor, through the middle, and then to the top floor.
7
et platea erat in rotundum ascendens sursum per cocleam et in cenaculum templi deferebat per gyrum idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium
8 I observed that the Temple had a ten-and-a-half-foot-thick raised base around it, which provided a foundation for the side rooms.
8
et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio
9 The outside walls of the side rooms were eight and three-quarters feet thick. The open area between the side rooms of the Temple
9
et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum et interior domus in lateribus domus
10 and the priests' rooms was a thirty-five-foot-wide strip all around the Temple.
10
et inter gazofilacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique
11 There were two entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one placed on the north side, the other on the south. There were eight and three-quarters feet of open space all around.
11
et ostium lateris ad orationem ostium unum ad viam aquilonis et ostium unum ad viam australem et latitudinem loci ad orationem quinque cubitorum in circuitu
12 The house that faced the Temple courtyard to the west was one hundred twenty-two and a half feet wide, with eight-and-three-quarters-foot-thick walls. The length of the wall and building was one hundred fifty-seven and a half feet.
12
et aedificium quod erat separatum versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum paries autem aedificii quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum et longitudo eius nonaginta cubitorum
13 He measured the Temple: one hundred seventy-five feet long. The Temple courtyard and the house, including its walls, measured a hundred seventy-five feet.
13
et mensus est domus longitudinem centum cubitorum et quod separatum erat aedificium et parietes eius longitudinis centum cubitorum
14 The breadth of the front of the Temple and the open area to the east was a hundred seventy-five feet.
14
latitudo autem ante faciem domus et eius quod erat separatum contra orientem centum cubitorum
15 He measured the length of the house facing the courtyard at the back of the Temple, including the shelters on each side: one hundred seventy-five feet. The main Sanctuary, the inner Sanctuary, and the vestibule facing the courtyard
15
et mensus est longitudinem aedificii contra faciem eius quod erat separatum ad dorsum ekthetas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum et templum interius et vestibula atrii
16 were paneled with wood, and had window frames and door frames in all three sections. From floor to windows the walls were paneled.
16
limina et fenestras obliquas et ekthetas in circuitu per tres partes contra uniuscuiusque limen stratumque ligno per gyrum in circuitu terra autem usque ad fenestras et fenestrae clausae super ostia
17 Above the outside entrance to the inner Sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner Sanctuary and the main Sanctuary,
17
et usque ad domum interiorem et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus et forinsecus ad mensuram
18 angel-cherubim and palm trees were carved in alternating sequence.
18
et fabrefacta cherubin et palmae et palma inter cherub et cherub duasque facies habebat cherub
19 a human face toward the palm tree on the right and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the left. They were carved around the entire Temple.
19
faciem hominis iuxta palmam ex hac parte et faciem leonis iuxta palmam ex alia parte expressam per omnem domum in circuitu
20 The cherubimÐpalm tree motif was carved from floor to door height on the wall of the main Sanctuary.
20
de terra usque ad superiora portae cherubin et palmae celatae erant in pariete templi
21 The main Sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe. In front of the Holy Place was something that looked like
21
limen quadrangulum et facies sanctuarii aspectus contra aspectum
22 an altar of wood, five and a quarter feet high and three and a half feet square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table that stands before God."
22
altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo et longitudo eius duo cubitorum et anguli eius et longitudo eius et parietes eius lignei et locutus est ad me haec est mensa coram Domino
23 Both the main Sanctuary and the Holy Place had double doors.
23
et duo ostia erant in templo et in sanctuario
24 Each door had two leaves: two hinged leaves for each door, one set swinging inward and the other set outward.
24
et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola quae in se invicem plicabantur bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum
25 The doors of the main Sanctuary were carved with angel-cherubim and palm trees. There was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside.
25
et celata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubin et scalptura palmarum sicut in parietibus quoque expressa erat quam ob rem erant et grossiora ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus
26 There were narrow windows alternating with carved palm trees on both sides of the porch.
26
super quae fenestrae obliquae et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in umerulis vestibuli secundum latera domus latitudinemque parietum
