Then he abrought me to the 1 bnave
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
, atwenty
cubits
.
Then he went 1 ainside
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
and the outer achambers was twenty
cubits
in width
all
around
the temple
on every
side
.
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 afree
space
was five
cubits
all
around
.
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
.
Then he measured the temple
, a ahundred
cubits
long
; the bseparate
area
with the cbuilding
and its walls
were also a ahundred
cubits
long
.
Also the width of the front
of the temple
and that of the separate
1areas
along the east
side totaled a hundred
cubits
.
He measured the length
of the abuilding
1along
the front
of the bseparate
area
behind
it, with a 2 cgallery
on each
side
, a hundred
cubits
; he also measured the inner
nave
and the porches
of the court
.
The athresholds, the 1 blatticed
windows
and the 2 cgalleries
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
),
over the entrance
, and to the inner
house
, and on the outside
, and on all
the wall
all
around
inside
and outside
, by measurement
.
It was 1carved with acherubim
and bpalm
trees
; and a palm
tree
was between
cherub
and cherub
, and every cherub
had two
faces
,
a aman's face
toward
the palm
tree
on one side
and a young
alion's
face
toward
the palm
tree
on the other side
; they were 1carved
on all
the house
all
around
.
From the ground to above
the entrance
acherubim
and apalm
trees
were 1carved
, as well as on the wall
of the nave
.
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.
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
."
The anave and the bsanctuary
each had a double
cdoor
.
Each of the doors had two
leaves
, two
1 aswinging
leaves
; two
leaves for one
door
and two
leaves
for the other
.
Also there were 1carved on them, on the doors
of the nave
, acherubim
and apalm
trees
like those 1carved
on the walls
; and there was a 2 bthreshold
of wood
on the front
of the porch
outside
.
There were 1 alatticed 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
.
