New King James Version
The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.
Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
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.
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.
As one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.
I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, a full rod, that is, six cubits high.
The outer wall of the Temple’s side rooms was 8 3/4 feet thick. This left an open area between these side rooms
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 between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.
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 doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace was five cubits all around.
The Building at the Western End
The building that faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
The building that faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
Dimensions and Design of the Temple Area
So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long;
So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long;
The inner courtyard to the east of the Temple was also 175 feet wide.
also the width of the eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one hundred cubits.
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
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.
their doorposts and the beveled window frames. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with wood from the ground to the windows — the windows were covered —
The space above the door leading into the inner room, and its walls inside and out, were also paneled.
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.
And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces,
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,
so that the face of a man was toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward a palm tree on the other side; thus it was made throughout the temple all around.
from the floor to the top of the walls, including the outer wall of the sanctuary.
From the floor to the space above the door, and on the wall of the sanctuary, cherubim and palm trees were carved.
There were square columns at the entrance to the sanctuary, and the ones at the entrance of the Most Holy Place were similar.
The doorposts of the temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; their appearance was similar.
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood; and he said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”
Both the sanctuary and the Most Holy Place had double doorways,
The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
each with two swinging doors.
The doors had two panels apiece, two folding panels: two panels for one door and two panels for the other door.
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.
Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the temple just as they were carved on the walls. A wooden canopy was on the front of the vestibule outside.
On both sides of the entry room were recessed windows decorated with carved palm trees. The side rooms along the outside wall also had roofs.
There were beveled window frames and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the vestibule — also on the side chambers of the temple and on the canopies.
