| 1 And 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 tabernacle. 2 And 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 thereof, 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 And he measured the
length thereof, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the
temple: and he said unto 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 And 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 And 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 basement 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 And between the chambers was
a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. 11 And 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 And 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 thereof ninety cubits. 13 So he measured the house, a
hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls
thereof, a hundred cubits long; 14 also the breadth of the face of the
house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits. 15 And
he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at
the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other
side, a 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, ceiled with wood round
about, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were
covered), 17 to the space above the door, even unto the inner
house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by
measure. 18 And 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 unto
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 thereof was as the appearance
of the temple. 22 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and
the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length
thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is
the table that is before Jehovah. 23 And the temple and the sanctuary had
two doors. 24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning
leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and
palm-trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there was a threshold of
wood upon the face of the porch without. 26 And 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.
