1 Depois {este homem} me fez entrar no templo, cujas pilastras mediu; tinham seis côvados de largura de um lado, e seis côvados de largura do outro lado, largura da tenda.2 A largura da entrada era de dez côvados; os dois lados da porta tinham ambos cinco côvados. Ele mediu a extensão do templo: quarenta côvados; e sua largura, vinte côvados.3 Em seguida, penetrou no interior e mediu as pilastras da entrada: dois côvados; depois a porta: seis côvados, com uma largura de sete côvados.4 Mediu aí a extensão de vinte côvados e uma largura de vinte côvados do lado do templo, e me disse: É o santo dos santos.5 Mediu a parede do edifício: seis côvados, e a largura do edifício lateral que rodeia a torre do templo: quatro côvados.6 As câmaras laterais, superpostas, eram em número de três vezes trinta. Elas tocavam numa parede construída em torno de todo o edifício, de modo a se apoiar nela sem tocar a parede do templo.7 À medida que subia, a largura aumentava de um andar a outro, porque o templo tinha uma galeria circular em cada andar, de sorte que a largura do edifício era mais considerável em cima; subia-se do andar inferior ao superior pelo meio.8 Eu vi em redor do templo uma fiada saliente. Eram os fundamentos das câmaras laterais, que mediam uma cana inteira, seis côvados.9 A espessura da parede exterior do edifício lateral era de cinco côvados. A esta se ajuntava o alicerce do edifício lateral do templo.10 O espaço não construído até as câmaras laterais era de vinte côvados, em toda a volta do templo.11 As portas do edifício lateral davam para a fiada, formando uma entrada para o norte e uma entrada para o sul. A largura dessa fiada era de cinco côvados em todo o redor.12 A construção que se elevava defronte do espaço livre, a ocidente, era da largura de setenta côvados; o muro que o cercava era da espessura de cinco côvados e do comprimento de noventa.13 Ele mediu o templo, que tinha uma extensão de cem côvados, o espaço livre, a construção e suas paredes, tendo também um comprimento de cem côvados.14 A largura da fachada do templo, com o espaço livre do lado do oriente, era de cem côvados.15 Ele mediu o comprimento do edifício diante do espaço livre que estava atrás da construção, com as galerias de uma e outra parte: cem côvados.16 O interior do templo, os vestíbulos do átrio, os limiares, as janelas gradeadas e as galerias em volta nos três lados diante dos limiares, eram forradas de madeira, do chão até as janelas, as quais estavam fechadas.17 Acima da porta, no interior e no exterior do templo, e por toda a parede em redor, por dentro e por fora, tudo estava coberto de figuras:18 querubins e palmas, uma palma entre dois querubins. Os querubins tinham duas faces:19 uma figura humana de um lado, voltada para a palmeira, e uma face de leão voltada para a palmeira, do outro lado, esculpidas em relevo em toda a volta do templo.20 Desde o piso até acima da porta, havia representações de querubins e palmeiras, assim como na parede do templo.21 A porta do templo era de ângulos retos. Diante do santuário, havia alguma coisa como um altar de madeira.22 Sua altura era de três côvados, enquanto a largura era de dois côvados. Havia ângulos {protuberantes}; sua base e suas paredes eram de madeira. Disse-me o homem: É aqui a mesa que está diante do Senhor.23 O templo e o santo dos santos tinham cada um uma porta,24 e cada porta era de dois batentes, que tinham duas bandeiras, duas bandeiras para cada batente.25 Assim como nas paredes, querubins e palmeiras eram figurados nas portas do templo. Na fachada do vestíbulo no exterior, havia um anteparo de madeira.26 Havia janelas gradeadas e palmeiras de uma e outra parte, nos lados do vestíbulo, nas câmaras laterais do templo, e nos anteparos.

1 And he brought me to the temple: and he measured the door–posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, as also the breadth of the tabernacle.2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.3 Then went he inward, and measured the posts of the door, two cubits; and the door was six cubits high; and the breadth of the door, was seven cubits.4 And he measured its length, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, fronting on the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.5 After this he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side–chamber was four cubits, all round about the house on every side.6 And the side–chambers were one over another, three and thirty times; and they entered into the wall which was on the house for the side–chambers all round about, that they might be fastened on, but they were not fastened on the wall of the house.7 And as one wound upward it became continually wider for the side–chambers; for the row of chambers about the house went more and more upward round about the house; therefore was the breadth of the house greater upward: and so they ascended from the lowest chambers to the highest through the middle ones.8 And I saw the height of the house all round about: the foundations of the side–chambers were a full rod of six cubits under ground.9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side–chambers without, was five cubits, as also the space which was left open by the row of the side–chambers that were on the house.10 And between the chambers there was a width of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.11 And the doors of the side–chambers were on the open space, one door was in a northern direction, and another door on the south; and the breadth of the place that was left open was five cubits all round about.12 Now the building that was before the main wing on the west side was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and its length, ninety cubits.13 So he measured the house, in length one hundred cubits; and the main wing, and the building, with its walls, in length one hundred cubits;14 Also the breadth in the front of the house, and of the main wing on the east, was one hundred cubits.15 And he measured the length of the building on the front side of the main wing which was behind it, and its corner–pillars on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and this included the inner temple, and the porches of the court;16 The thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the corner–pillars were round about on their three sides: opposite the threshold there was a wainscoting of wood all round about, and so from the ground up to the windows; and the windows were covered.17 On the part above the door, and as far as the inner house, and the outer house, was a wainscoting, and on all the wall round about within and without, by the same measure;18 And it was ornamented with cherubim and palm–trees, a palm–tree being between two cherubim; and every cherub had two faces;19 So that a human face was toward the palm–tree on the one side, and a young lion’s face toward the palm–tree on the other side: it was so made on all the house round about.20 From the ground to the part above the door were the cherubim and the palm–trees made, and so on the wall of the temple.21 The temple had four–cornered door–posts, and the front of the holy of holies had the same appearance as the appearance of the other.22 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length was two cubits; and its corners, and its top–piece, and its walls, were of wood: and he spoke unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.23 And the temple and the holy of holies had two doors.24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves, two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm–trees, as they were made upon the walls; and a covering of thick wooden planks was upon the front of the porch without.26 And there were narrow windows and palm–trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and on the side–chambers of the house, and the covering of thick planks.
