1 Next he brought me to the temple and measured the jambs: six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other, the width of the tent.
2 The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other. He measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.
3 Then he went in and measured the jamb of the entrance, two cubits; the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
4 He measured its length, twenty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits, across the front of the temple, and he told me, "This is the Most Holy Place."
5 He measured the wall of the house: six cubits; and the width of the side chambers: four cubits, all the way around the house.
6 The side chambers were arranged in three stories, chamber above chamber, thirty in each story. All around the wall of the house there were ledges for the side chambers to rest on, so that they were supported without being fastened into the wall of the house.
7 The side chambers widened as they rose from story to story, because the structure around the house rose story by story all the way around. So the house grew wider toward the top, and from the lowest story one went up through the middle story to the highest.
8 I also saw that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed, six long cubits.
9 The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick. The open space between the side chambers of the house
10 and the chambers was twenty cubits wide, all the way around the house.
11 The side chambers had doorways onto the open space, one doorway on the north and one on the south; the open space was five cubits wide all around.
12 The building facing the separate area on the west side was seventy cubits wide; its wall was five cubits thick all around, and it was ninety cubits long.
13 He measured the house: a hundred cubits long; and the separate area and the building with its walls: a hundred cubits long;
14 and the width of the front of the house together with the separate area on the east: a hundred cubits.
15 He measured the length of the building facing the separate area at the rear, with its galleries on either side: a hundred cubits. The inner temple and the vestibules of the court,
16 the thresholds, the narrow windows and the galleries around all three of them, facing the threshold, were paneled in wood all around, from the floor up to the windows, and the windows were covered,
17 up to the space above the doorway, to the inner house and on the outside, and on all the wall around, inside and outside, according to measure.
18 It was decorated with cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between each cherub and the next. Each cherub had two faces:
19 a human face turned toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face turned toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved over the whole house, all around.
20 Cherubim and palm trees were carved from the floor to above the doorway, and on the wall of the temple.
21 The doorposts of the temple were square, and in front of the holy place the appearance was the same as the other.
22 The altar was made of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long; its corners, its length and its sides were wood. He told me, "This is the table that stands before the LORD."
23 Both the temple and the holy place had double doors.
24 The doors each had two leaves, two swinging leaves: two for one door and two for the other.
25 Carved on them, on the doors of the temple, were cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and a wooden canopy was over the front of the vestibule outside.
26 On the sides of the vestibule were narrow windows and palm trees on either side, and so too on the side chambers of the house and the canopies.
