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.
