The Inner Temple

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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

The Nave

Then he abrought me to the 1bnave and measured the cside pillars; 2six cubits wide on each side was the width of the 3side pillar. 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, 3aforty cubits, and the width, btwenty cubits.

The Holy of Holies

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. He measured its length, atwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the bnave; and he said to me, “This is the cHoly of Holies.”

The Wall, Side Chambers, and West Building

Then he measured the wall of the house of Yahweh, six cubits; and the width of the aside chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. 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 house itself. The side chambers surrounding the house were wider at each successive story. Because the astructure surrounding the house went upward by stages on all sides of the house, therefore the width of the house increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the 1second story. I saw also that the house had a raised 1platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of 2asix 3long cubits in height. The 1thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the afree space between the side chambers belonging to the house 10 and the outer achambers was twenty cubits in width all around the house 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 place 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 1seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits 2thick all around, and its length was 3ninety cubits.

The Measurements of the Building

13 Then he measured the house, 1one ahundred cubits long; the bseparate area with the cbuilding and its walls were also one dhundred cubits long. 14 Also the width of the front of the house and that of the separate 1areas along the east side totaled one 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, one hundred cubits, along with the inner nave and the porches of the court.

Carvings and Furnishings

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 Yahweh.” 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 ccanopy of wood over 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 canopies.

The Inner Temple

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. 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. 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 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.”

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
