41 Afterward
he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad
on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was 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 the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. 3 Then
went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the
door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. 4 So
he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty
cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy
place. 5 After
he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every
side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. 6 And
the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and
they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers
round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall
of the house. 7 And
there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers:
for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house:
therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased
from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. 8 I
saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side
chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. 9 The
thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five
cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that
were within. 10 And
between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the
house on every side. 11 And
the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one
door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth
of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
12
Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the
west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. 13 So
he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and
the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; 14 Also
the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the
east, an hundred cubits. 15 And
he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which
was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other
side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; 16 The
door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their
three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and
from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered; 17 To
that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all
the wall round about within and without, by measure. 18 And
it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between
a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; 19 So
that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the
face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made
through all the house round about. 20 From
the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on
the wall of the temple. 21 The
posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance
of the one as the appearance of the other. 22 The
altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits;
and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof,
were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the
LORD. 23 And
the temple and the sanctuary 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 door. 25 And
there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm
trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon
the face 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 upon the side chambers of the house,
and thick planks.
