1Then he brought <0935> me to <0413> the outer sanctuary <01964>, and measured <04058> the jambs <0352>; the jambs were 10½ <08337> feet <0520> wide <07341> on each side <06311> <06311>.
2The width <07341> of the entrance <06607> was 17½ feet <0520> <06235>, and the sides <03802> of the entrance <06607> were 8¾ feet <0520> <02568> on each side <06311> <06311>. He measured <04058> the length <0753> of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet <0520> <0705>, and its width <07341> as 35 feet <0520> <06242>.
3Then he went <0935> into the inner <06441> sanctuary and measured <04058> the jambs <0352> of the entrance <06607> as 3½ feet <0520> <08147>, the entrance <06607> as 10½ feet <0520> <08337>, and the width <07341> of the entrance <06607> as 12¼ feet <0520> <07651>
4Then he measured <04058> its length <0753> as 35 feet <0520> <06242>, and its width <07341> as 35 feet <0520> <06242>, before <06440> the outer sanctuary <01964>. He said <0559> to <0413> me, “This <02088> is the most holy <06944> <06944> place.”
5Then he measured <04058> the wall <07023> of the temple <01004> as 10½ feet <0520> <08337>, and the width <07341> of the side chambers <06763> as 7 feet <0520> <0702>, all around <05439> <05439> the temple <01004>.
6The side <06763> chambers <06763> were in three <07969> stories <06763>, one above the other, thirty <07970> in each <06471> story. There were offsets <0935> in the wall <07023> all <05439> around <05439> to serve <01961> as supports <0270> for the side chambers <06763>, so that the supports <0270> were not <03808> in the wall <07023> of the temple <01004>.
7The side chambers <06763> surrounding <05437> the temple were wider <07337> at each successive <04605> story <04605>; for the structure surrounding the temple <01004> went up <04141> story <04605> by story <04605> all around <05439> <05439> the temple <01004>. For this reason <03651> the width <07341> of the temple <01004> increased as it went up <04605>, and one went up <05927> from the lowest <08481> story to the highest <05945> by the way of the middle story <08484>.
8I saw <07200> that the temple <01004> had a raised platform all <05439> around <05439>; the foundations <03245> of the side chambers <06763> were a full <04393> measuring stick <07070> of 10½ feet <0520> <08337> high <01363>.
9The width <07341> of the outer <02351> wall <07023> of the side chambers <06763> was 8¾ feet <0520> <02568>, and the open area between the side chambers <06763> of the temple <01004>
10and <0996> the chambers <03957> of the court was 35 feet <0520> <06242> in width <07341> all around <05439> the temple <01004> on every side <05439> <05439>.
11There were entrances <06607> from the side chambers <06763> toward the open <03240> area, one <0259> entrance <06607> toward <01870> the north <06828>, and another <0259> entrance <06607> toward the south <01864>; the width <07341> of the open <03240> area <04725> was 8¾ feet <0520> <02568> all around <05439> <05439>.
12The building <01146> that <0834> was facing <06440> the temple courtyard <01508> at the west <03220> side <06285> was 122½ feet <0520> <07657> wide <07341>; the wall <07023> of the building <01146> was 8¾ feet <0520> <02568> all around <05439> <05439>, and its length <0753> 157½ feet <0520> <08673>.
13Then he measured <04058> the temple <01004> as 175 feet <0520> <03967> long <0753>, the courtyard of the temple <01508> and the building <01140> and its walls <07023> as 175 feet <0520> <03967> long <0753>,
14and also the width <07341> of the front <06440> of the temple <01004> and the courtyard <01508> on the east <06921> as 175 feet <0520> <03967>.
15Then he measured <04058> the length <0753> of the building <01146> facing <06440> the courtyard <01508> at the rear <0310> of the temple, with its galleries <0862> on either side <06311> <06311> as 175 feet <0520> <03967>. The interior <06442> of the outer sanctuary <01964> and the porch <0197> of the court <02691>,
16as well as the thresholds <05592>, narrow <0331> windows <02474> and galleries <0862> all around <05439> on three <07969> sides facing <05048> the threshold <05592> were paneled <07824> with wood <06086> all <05439> around <05439>, from the ground <0776> up <05704> to the windows <02474> (now the windows <02474> were covered <03680>),
17to the space above <05921> <05921> the entrance <06607>, to <05704> the inner <06442> room <01004>, and on the outside <02351>, and on <0413> all <03605> the walls <07023> in the inner <06442> room and outside <02435>, by measurement <04060>.
18It was made <06213> with cherubim <03742> and decorative palm trees <08561>, with a palm tree <08561> between <0996> each cherub <03742> <03742>. Each cherub <03742> had two <08147> faces <06440>:
19a human <0120> face <06440> toward <0413> the palm tree <08561> on one side <06311> and a lion’s <03715> face <06440> toward <0413> the palm tree <08561> on the other side <06311>. They were carved <06213> on <0413> the whole <03605> temple <01004> all <05439> around <05439>;
20from the ground <0776> to the area above <05921> the entrance <06607>, cherubim <03742> and decorative palm trees <08561> were carved <06213> on the wall <07023> of the outer sanctuary <01964>.
21The doorposts <04201> of the outer sanctuary <01964> were square <07251>. In front <06440> of the sanctuary <06944> one doorpost looked <04758> <04758> just like the other.
22The altar <04196> was of wood <06086>, 5¼ <07969> feet <0520> high <01364>, with its length <0753> 3½ <08147> feet <0520>; its corners <04740>, its length <0753>, and its walls <07023> were of wood <06086>. He said <01696> to <0413> me, “This <02088> is the table <07979> that <0834> is before <06440> the Lord <03069>.”
23The outer sanctuary <01964> and the inner sanctuary <06944> each had a double <08147> door <01817>.
24Each <01817> of the doors <01817> had two <08147> leaves, two <08147> swinging <04142> leaves <01817>; two <08147> leaves <01817> for one <0259> door and two <08147> leaves <01817> for the other <0312>.
25On <0413> the doors <01817> of the outer sanctuary <01964> were carved <06213> cherubim <03742> and palm trees <08561>, like those carved <06213> on the walls <07023>, and there was a canopy <05646> of wood <06086> on <0413> the front <06440> of the outside <02351> porch <0197>.
26There were narrow <0331> windows <02474> and decorative palm trees <08561> on either side <06311> <06311> of the side <03802> walls of the porch <0197>; this is what the side chambers <06763> of the temple <01004> and the canopies <05646> were like.
