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. |
