Then he ^abrought me to the ^bsanctuary, and he measured the ^cside pillars: six ¹cubits 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. He also measured ²the length of the sanctuary, ^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 And he measured its length, ^atwenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the ^bsanctuary; 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 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, so that they could be attached, but not be attached to the wall of the temple itself. 7 And 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, for that reason the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and so 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 ²rod of ^asix ³long 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 around the temple on every side. 11 The ¹doorways of the side ²chambers 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 And 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 sanctuary and the porches of the courtyard. 16 The ^athresholds, the ^1blatticed windows, and the ^2cgalleries 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 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 ^ahuman 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 sanctuary.

21 The ^adoorposts of the ^bsanctuary were square; as for the front of the inner ¹sanctuary, 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 ^asanctuary and the inner ^1bsanctuary 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 main room, ^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 And there were ^1alatticed windows and ^bpalm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the ^cporch; the same were on the ^dside chambers of the house and the ²thresholds.
