1 Then the man brought me to the main hall and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits "on each side. [^2]2 The entrance was ten cubits "wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits "wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. [^5]3 Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits "wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits "wide.4 And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall. He said to me, "This is the Most Holy Place."5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits "wide.6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple.7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits.9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple10 and the priests' rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.12 The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits "wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits. [^10]13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits "long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court,16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and galleries around the three of them —everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered.17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary18 were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.21 The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar.22 There was a wooden altar three cubits "high and two cubits square "; its corners, its base "and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD."23 Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors.24 Each door had two leaves —two hinged leaves for each door.25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico.26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.

1 Et introduxit me in templum, et mensus est frontes : sex cubitos latitudinis hinc, et sex cubitos latitudinis inde, latitudinem tabernaculi. 2 Et latitudo port decem cubitorum erat : et latera port, quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde : et mensus est longitudinem ejus quadraginta cubitoum, et latitudinem viginti cubitorum. 3 Et introgressus intrinsecus, mensus est in fronte port duos cubitos : et portam, sex cubitorum : et latitudinem port septem cubitorum. 4 Et mensus est longitudinem ejus viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem ejus viginti cubitorum, ante faciem templi. Et dixit ad me : Hoc est Sanctum sanctorum. 5 Et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum : et latitudinem lateris quatuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus. 6 Latera autem, latus ad latus, bis triginta tria : et erant eminentia, qu ingrederentur per parietem domus, in lateribus per circuitum, ut continerent, et non attingerent parietem templi.7 Et platea erat in rotundum, ascendens sursum per cochleam, et in cnaculum templi deferebat per gyrum : idcirco latius erat templum in superioribus : et sic de inferioribus ascendebatur ad superiora in medium. 8 Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundata latera ad mensuram calami sex cubitorum spatio : 9 et latitudinem per parietem lateris forinsecus quinque cubitorum : et erat interior domus in lateribus domus. 10 Et inter gazophylacia latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique, 11 et ostium lateris ad orationem : ostium unum ad viam aquilonis, et ostium unum ad viam australem : et latitudinem loci ad orationem, quinque cubitorum in circuitu. 12 Et dificium, quod erat separatum, versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum : paries autem dificii, quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum : et longitudo ejus nonaginta cubitorum.13 Et mensus est domus longitudinem, centum cubitorum : et quod separatum erat dificium, et parietes ejus, longitudinis centum cubitorum. 14 Latitudo autem ante faciem domus, et ejus quod erat separatum contra orientem, centum cubitorum. 15 Et mensus est longitudinem dificii contra faciem ejus, quod erat separatum ad dorsum : ethecas ex utraque parte centum cubitorum : et templum interius, et vestibula atrii. 16 Limina, et fenestras obliquas, et ethecas in circuitu per tres partes, contra uniuscujusque limen, stratumque ligno per gyrum in circuitu : terra autem usque ad fenestras, et fenestr claus super ostia. 17 Et usque ad domum interiorem, et forinsecus per omnem parietem in circuitu, intrinsecus et forinsecus, ad mensuram. 18 Et fabrefacta cherubim et palm : et palma inter cherub et cherub, duasque facies habebat cherub. 19 Faciem hominis juxta palmam ex hac parte, et faciem leonis juxta palmam ex alia parte : expressam per omnem domum in circuitu. 20 De terra usque ad superiora port, cherubim et palm clat erant in pariete templi. 21 Limen quadrangulum, et facies sanctuarii, aspectus contra aspectum. 22 Altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo, et longitudo ejus duorum cubitorum : et anguli ejus, et longitudo ejus, et parietes ejus lignei. Et locutus est ad me : Hc est mensa coram Domino. 23 Et duo ostia erant in templo et in sanctuario. 24 Et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola qu in se invicem plicabantur : bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum. 25 Et clata erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim, et sculptur palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque express erant : quam ob rem et grossiora erant ligna in vestibuli fronte forinsecus. 26 Super qu fenestr obliqu, et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in humerulis vestibuli, secundum latera domus, latitudinemque parietum.
