1 And he brought me into the temple, and he measured the fronts six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits on that side, the breadth of the tabernacle.

Then he brought me to the nave, and measured the pilasters; on each side six cubits was the width of the pilasters.

5
Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple.
6 And the side chambers one by another, were twice thirty-three: and they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall of the house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of the temple.
6
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.
7 And there was a broad passage round about, going up by winding stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round: therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the lower parts they went to the higher by the midst.
7
The passageway of the side chambers widened from story to story; for the structure was supplied with a stairway all around the temple. For this reason the structure became wider from story to story. One ascended from the bottom story to the uppermost story by way of the middle one.
8 And I saw in the house the height round about, the foundations of the side chambers which were the measure of a reed the space of six cubits:
8
I 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.
9 And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber without, which was five cubits: and the inner house was within the side chambers of the house,
9

10 And between the chambers was the breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
10
and the chambers of the court was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.
11 And the door of the side chambers was turned towards the place of prayer: one door was toward the north, and another door was toward the south: and the breadth of the place for prayer, was five cubits round about.
11
The side chambers opened onto the area left free, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south; and the width of the part that was left free was five cubits all around.

13 And he measured the length of the house, a hundred cubits: and the separate building, and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits in length.
13
Then he measured the temple, one hundred cubits deep; and the yard and the building with its walls, one hundred cubits deep;

14
also the width of the east front of the temple and the yard, one hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the building over against it, which was separated at the back of it: and the galleries on both sides a hundred cubits: and the inner temple, and the porches of the court.
15
Then he measured the depth of the building facing the yard at the west, together with its galleries on either side, one hundred cubits. The nave of the temple and the inner room and the outer vestibule
16 The thresholds, and the oblique windows, and the galleries round about on three sides, over against the threshold of every one, and floored with wood all round about: and the ground was up to the windows, and the windows were shut over the doors.
16
were paneled, and, all around, all three had windows with recessed frames. Facing the threshold the temple was paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered),
17 And even to the inner house, and without all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
17
to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls all around in the inner room and the nave there was a pattern.
18 And there were cherubims and palm trees wrought, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub, and every cherub had two faces.
18
It was formed of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces:
19 The face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a lion was toward the palm tree on the other side: set forth through all the house round about.
19
a human face turned toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion turned toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around;
20 From the ground even to the upper parts of the gate, were cherubims and palm trees wrought in the wall of the temple.
20
from the floor to the area above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.
21 The threshold was foursquare, and the face of the sanctuary sight to sight.
21
The doorposts of the nave were square. In front of the holy place was something resembling
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high: and the length thereof was two cubits: and the corners thereof, aid the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood. And he said to me: This is the table before the Lord.
22
an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits wide; its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, "This is the table that stands before the Lord."
23 And there were two doors in the temple, and in the sanctuary.
23
The nave and the holy place had each a double door.
24 And in the two doors on both sides were two little doors, which were folded within each other: for there were two wickets on both sides of the doors.
24
The doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door.
25 And there were cherubims also wrought in the doors of the temple, and the figures of palm trees, like as were made on the walls: for which cause also the planks were thicker in the front of the porch without.
25
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.
26 Upon which were the oblique windows, and the representation of palm trees on this side, and on that side in the sides of the porch, according to the sides of the house, and the breadth of the walls.
26
And there were recessed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule.
