New Living Translation
And he measured the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, across the nave. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the temple.
These side rooms were built in three levels, one above the other, with thirty rooms on each level. The supports for these side rooms rested on exterior ledges on the Temple wall; they did not extend into the wall.
And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and so one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story.
Each level was wider than the one below it, corresponding to the narrowing of the Temple wall as it rose higher. A stairway led up from the bottom level through the middle level to the top level.
I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits.
The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. The free space between the side chambers of the temple and the
The outer wall of the Temple’s side rooms was 8 3/4 feet thick. This left an open area between these side rooms
other chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.
and the row of rooms along the outer wall of the inner courtyard. This open area was 35 feet wide, and it went all the way around the Temple.
And the doors of the side chambers opened on the free space, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. And the breadth of the free space was five cubits all around.
Two doors opened from the side rooms into the terrace yard, which was 8 3/4 feet wide. One door faced north and the other south.
The building that was facing the separate yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;
also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits.
The inner courtyard to the east of the Temple was also 175 feet wide.
The building to the west, including its two walls, was also 175 feet wide.
The sanctuary, the inner room, and the entry room of the Temple
The sanctuary, the inner room, and the entry room of the Temple
the thresholds and the narrow windows and the galleries all around the three of them, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered),
were all paneled with wood, as were the frames of the recessed windows. The inner walls of the Temple were paneled with wood above and below the windows.
The space above the door leading into the inner room, and its walls inside and out, were also paneled.
It was carved of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces:
All the walls were decorated with carvings of cherubim, each with two faces, and there was a carving of a palm tree between each of the cherubim.
a human face toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around.
One face — that of a man — looked toward the palm tree on one side. The other face — that of a young lion — looked toward the palm tree on the other side. The figures were carved all along the inside of the Temple,
From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave.
from the floor to the top of the walls, including the outer wall of the sanctuary.
The doorposts of the nave were squared, and in front of the Holy Place was something resembling
There were square columns at the entrance to the sanctuary, and the ones at the entrance of the Most Holy Place were similar.
The nave and the Holy Place had each a double door.
Both the sanctuary and the Most Holy Place had double doorways,
The double doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door.
each with two swinging doors.
The doors leading into the sanctuary were decorated with carved cherubim and palm trees, just as on the walls. And there was a wooden roof at the front of the entry room to the Temple.
