1 ¶ Then he took me to the temple, and measured the pillars, they were six cubits wide on each side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.

2 And the width of the door was ten cubits; and on each side of the door the walls were five cubits wide: and he measured its length, forty cubits: and its width, twenty cubits.

3 Then he went inside, and measured the door post, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and its walls on each side.

4 Then he measured the length of the room at the end of the holy place, twenty cubits; and its width, twenty cubits: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

5 He then measured the temple wall, six cubits; and the width of each side room, four cubits, around the temple on every side.

6 And the side rooms were arranged in three stories, one over the other, and thirty in each story; and they rested on the wall of the temple all around, but they were not fastened to the wall.

7 And the side rooms surrounding the temple got wider as one went up from the lowest story to the highest: the surrounding structure went from story to story all around the temple: therefore the width of the temple increased as one went higher, and one would go up from the lowest story through the middle one to the highest.

8 I also saw a raised pavement all around the temple: on which the side rooms rested as a foundation: it measured a full rod of six great cubits.

9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms, was five cubits: and there was an open area next to the side rooms that were connected to the temple.

10 And the distance between the outer rooms was twenty cubits around the temple on every side.

11 And the doors of the side chambers opened toward the open area, one door toward the north, and the other toward the south: and the width of the open area was five cubits all around.

12 ¶ Now west of the temple was a building seventy cubits wide, facing the open area; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.

13 So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the yard, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

14 Also the width of the eastern front of the temple, and its yard, one hundred cubits.

15 And he measured the length of the building in front of the open area, and its galleries on both sides, one hundred cubits. The holy place, the inner holy of holies, and the porches on the outside;

16 Were roofed over, and all three had latticed windows all around, and the galleries all around the three stories, opposite the door, were paneled with wood, from the ground up to the windows, and from the windows to the roof;

17 Including the space above the door, as far as the holy place, and its wall, and the whole wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

18 And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between each cherub; and each cherub had two faces;

19 So that the face of a man looked toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward the palm tree on the other side: such carving was around the whole temple.

20 From the floor to the space above the door were carved cherubim and palm trees, and also on the wall of the holy place.

21 The door posts of the temple were square, and in front of the sanctuary; was something that looked like an altar of wood.

22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and two cubits wide; and its corners and its sides were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before the LORD.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 Each a double door having leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door, and two leaves for the other door.

25 And on the doors of the temple were carved, cherubim and palm trees, just like those carved on the walls; and a wooden cornice was on the front of the porch outside.

26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on both sides of the porch, and on the side rooms of the temple, and on the cornices.
