Then he (the angel) ^abrought me to ^bthe nave (outer sanctuary) and measured the ^cside pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the ¹side pillar. 2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the ¹sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side; and he measured its length, ^aforty cubits, and its width, ^btwenty cubits. 3 Then he went ^ainside the inner sanctuary and measured each ^bside pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high, and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. Heb 9:6, 7; 10:19-25 4 He measured the length of the interior of the inner sanctuary, ^atwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, ¹opposite the ^bnave (outer sanctuary) ; and he said to me, “This is the ^2cMost Holy Place.”

5 Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, to accommodate side chambers; and the width of every ^aside chamber, four cubits, all around the temple on every side. 6 ^aThe side chambers were three stories high, one above another, and thirty chambers in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which stood on their inward ^bside all around, so that they would be attached, but not attached to the wall of the temple itself. 7 The side chambers became wider at each successive level as they encompassed the temple. Because the ^astructure surrounding the temple went higher by stages on all sides of the temple, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest one by way of the ¹second story. 8 I also saw that the temple (house) had a raised platform all around it; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full rod of ^asix long cubits in height. 9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the ^afree space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10 and the outer ^achambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. 11 The doorways of the side chambers toward the ^afree space were one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free ^bspace was five cubits all around.

12 The ^abuilding that was in front of the ^bseparate area on the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

13 Then he measured the temple, a ^ahundred cubits long; the ^bseparate area and the ^cbuilding with its walls were also a ^dhundred cubits long. 14 Also the width of the front of the temple and the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

15 He (the angel) measured the length of the ^abuilding along the front of the ^bseparate area behind it, with a ^cgallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner sanctuary and the porches (porticoes) of the courtyard. 16 The ^athresholds, the ^blatticed windows, and the ^cgalleries all around their ^dthree stories, opposite the threshold, were ^epaneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17 over the entrance, and to the inner ¹room, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 18 It was ¹carved with figures of ^acherubim and ^bpalm trees; so that a palm decoration was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, 19 so that the ^aface of a man was toward the palm decoration on the one side, and the ^bface of a young lion toward the palm decoration on the other side. It was carved this way on the entire house (temple) all around. 20 From the ¹floor to the space above the entrance ^acherubim and ^bpalm decorations were carved, and also on the wall of the nave the Holy Place.

21 The ^adoorposts of the ^bnave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22 The ^1aaltar was of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long; and its corners, its ²base, and its ³sides were wood. And he said to me, “This is the ^btable that is before the LORD.” 23 The ^anave (Holy Place) and the ^bsanctuary (Holy of Holies) each had a double ^cdoor. 24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two ^aswinging (folding) leaves; two leaves for the one door and two leaves for the other. 25 And there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, ^acherubim and ^bpalm decorations like those carved on the walls; and there was a ^1cthreshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. 26 There were ^alatticed windows and ^bpalm decorations on one side and on the other, on the sides of the ^cporch. Thus were the ^dside chambers and the ¹thresholds of the house.

Then he ^abrought me to the ^1bnave and measured the ^cside pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the ²side pillar. 2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the ¹sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured ²the length of the nave, ^aforty cubits, and the width, ^btwenty cubits. 3 Then he went ^1ainside and measured each ^bside pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. 4 He measured its length, ^atwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the ^bnave; and he said to me, “This is the ^cmost holy place.”

5 Then he measured the wall of the ¹temple, six cubits; and the width of the ^aside chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. 6 ^aThe side chambers were in three stories, ¹one above another, and ²thirty in each story; and ³the side chambers ^bextended to the wall which stood on ⁴their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself. 7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the ^astructure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the ¹second story. 8 I saw also that the house had a raised ¹platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of ^asix ²long cubits in height. 9 The ¹thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the ^afree space between the side chambers belonging to the temple 10 and the outer ^achambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side. 11 The ¹doorways of the ²side chambers toward the ^afree space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the ^bfree space was five cubits all around.

12 The ^abuilding that was in front of the ^bseparate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits ¹thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

13 Then he measured the temple, a ^ahundred cubits long; the ^bseparate area with the ^cbuilding and its walls were also a ^dhundred cubits long. 14 Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate ¹areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.

15 He measured the length of the ^abuilding ¹along the front of the ^bseparate area behind it, with a ^2cgallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. 16 The ^athresholds, the ^1blatticed windows and the ^2cgalleries round about their ^dthree stories, opposite the threshold, were ^epaneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17 over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 18 It was ¹carved with ^acherubim and ^bpalm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, 19 a ^aman’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young ^blion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were ¹carved on all the house all around. 20 From the ground to above the entrance ^acherubim and ^bpalm trees were ¹carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.

21 The ^adoorposts of the ^bnave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22 The ^aaltar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its ¹base and its ²sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the ^btable that is before the LORD.” 23 The ^anave and the ^bsanctuary each had a double ^cdoor. 24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two ^1aswinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25 Also there were ¹carved on them, on the doors of the nave, ^acherubim and ^bpalm trees like those ²carved on the walls; and there was a ^3cthreshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. 26 There were ^1alatticed windows and ^bpalm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the ^cporch; thus were the ^dside chambers of the house and the ²thresholds.
