The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 et introduxit me in templum et mensus est frontes sex cubitos latitudinis hinc et sex cubitos latitudinis inde latitudinem tabernaculi
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.
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
2
The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
3 et introgressus intrinsecus mensus est in fronte portae duos cubitos et portam sex cubitorum et latitudinem portae septem cubitorum
3
Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits wide.
4 et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum et latitudinem viginti cubitorum ante faciem templi et dixit ad me hoc est sanctum sanctorum
4
And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall. He said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
5 et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum et latitudinem lateris quattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus
5
Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits wide.
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
6
The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. 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.
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
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.
8 et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio
8
I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits.
9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum et interior domus in lateribus domus
9
The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple
10 et inter gazofilacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique
10
and the priests’ rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.
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
11
There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.
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
12
The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.
13 et mensus est domus longitudinem centum cubitorum et quod separatum erat aedificium et parietes eius longitudinis centum cubitorum
13
Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
14 latitudo autem ante faciem domus et eius quod erat separatum contra orientem centum cubitorum
14
The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
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
15
Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court,
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
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.
17 et usque ad domum interiorem et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu intrinsecus et forinsecus ad mensuram
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
18 et fabrefacta cherubin et palmae et palma inter cherub et cherub duasque facies habebat cherub
18
were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:
19 faciem hominis iuxta palmam ex hac parte et faciem leonis iuxta palmam ex alia parte expressam per omnem domum in circuitu
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.
20 de terra usque ad superiora portae cherubin et palmae celatae erant in pariete templi
20
From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.
21 limen quadrangulum et facies sanctuarii aspectus contra aspectum
21
The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar.
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
22
There was a wooden altar three cubits high and two cubits square ; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
23 et duo ostia erant in templo et in sanctuario
23
Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors.
24 et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola quae in se invicem plicabantur bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum
24
Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves for each door.
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
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.
26 super quae fenestrae obliquae et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in umerulis vestibuli secundum latera domus latitudinemque parietum
26
On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.
