1 And he brought me to the temple; and he measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, the breadth of the tent.

2 And the breadth of the entry was ten cubits, and the sides of the entry were five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.

3 And he went inwards, and measured the post of the entry, two cubits; and the entry, six cubits; and the breadth of the entry, seven cubits.

4 And he measured its length, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy {place}.

5 And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of the side-chambers, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

6 And the side-chambers were three, chamber over chamber, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which the house had for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold; but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

7 And for the side-chambers there was an enlarging, and it went round about {the house} increasing upward; for the surrounding of the house increased upward round about the house; therefore the house had width upward, and so ascended {from} the lower {story} to the upper, by the middle one.

8 And I saw that the house had an elevation round about: the foundations of the side-chambers, a full reed, six cubits to the joint.

9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers without, was five cubits, as also what was left free along the building of the side-chambers that pertained to the house.

10 And between the cells {and the house} was a width of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

11 And the entry of the side-chambers was toward what was left free, one entry toward the north, and one entry toward the south; and the width of the space left free was five cubits round about.

12 And 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 its length ninety cubits.

13 And he measured the house: the length a hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its walls, the length a hundred cubits;

14 and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the separate places toward the east, a hundred cubits.

15 And he measured the length of the building before the separate place, which was at the back of it, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court.

16 The thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about the three of them (opposite the thresholds it was wainscoted with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered),

17 {and} above, over the entry, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about, within and without, {all was} by measure.

18 And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, and a palm-tree was between cherub and cherub; and the cherub had two faces:

19 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: {so} was it made upon all the house round about.

20 From the ground unto above the entry were the cherubim and the palm-trees made, and {on} the wall of the temple.

21 As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.

22 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls were of wood. And he said unto me, This is the table which is before Jehovah.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 And the doors had two leaves, two turning-leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, as there were made upon the walls; and there was a wooden portal in front of the porch without,

26 and closed windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch and the side chambers of the house and the portals.

1 Depois {este homem} me fez entrar no templo, cujas pilastras mediu; tinham seis côvados de largura de um lado, e seis côvados de largura do outro lado, largura da tenda.

2 A largura da entrada era de dez côvados; os dois lados da porta tinham ambos cinco côvados. Ele mediu a extensão do templo: quarenta côvados; e sua largura, vinte côvados.

3 Em seguida, penetrou no interior e mediu as pilastras da entrada: dois côvados; depois a porta: seis côvados, com uma largura de sete côvados.

4 Mediu aí a extensão de vinte côvados e uma largura de vinte côvados do lado do templo, e me disse: É o santo dos santos.

5 Mediu a parede do edifício: seis côvados, e a largura do edifício lateral que rodeia a torre do templo: quatro côvados.

6 As câmaras laterais, superpostas, eram em número de três vezes trinta. Elas tocavam numa parede construída em torno de todo o edifício, de modo a se apoiar nela sem tocar a parede do templo.

7 À medida que subia, a largura aumentava de um andar a outro, porque o templo tinha uma galeria circular em cada andar, de sorte que a largura do edifício era mais considerável em cima; subia-se do andar inferior ao superior pelo meio.

8 Eu vi em redor do templo uma fiada saliente. Eram os fundamentos das câmaras laterais, que mediam uma cana inteira, seis côvados.

9 A espessura da parede exterior do edifício lateral era de cinco côvados. A esta se ajuntava o alicerce do edifício lateral do templo.

10 O espaço não construído até as câmaras laterais era de vinte côvados, em toda a volta do templo.

11 As portas do edifício lateral davam para a fiada, formando uma entrada para o norte e uma entrada para o sul. A largura dessa fiada era de cinco côvados em todo o redor.

12 A construção que se elevava defronte do espaço livre, a ocidente, era da largura de setenta côvados; o muro que o cercava era da espessura de cinco côvados e do comprimento de noventa.

13 Ele mediu o templo, que tinha uma extensão de cem côvados, o espaço livre, a construção e suas paredes, tendo também um comprimento de cem côvados.

14 A largura da fachada do templo, com o espaço livre do lado do oriente, era de cem côvados.

15 Ele mediu o comprimento do edifício diante do espaço livre que estava atrás da construção, com as galerias de uma e outra parte: cem côvados.

16 O interior do templo, os vestíbulos do átrio, os limiares, as janelas gradeadas e as galerias em volta nos três lados diante dos limiares, eram forradas de madeira, do chão até as janelas, as quais estavam fechadas.

17 Acima da porta, no interior e no exterior do templo, e por toda a parede em redor, por dentro e por fora, tudo estava coberto de figuras:

18 querubins e palmas, uma palma entre dois querubins. Os querubins tinham duas faces:

19 uma figura humana de um lado, voltada para a palmeira, e uma face de leão voltada para a palmeira, do outro lado, esculpidas em relevo em toda a volta do templo.

20 Desde o piso até acima da porta, havia representações de querubins e palmeiras, assim como na parede do templo.

21 A porta do templo era de ângulos retos. Diante do santuário, havia alguma coisa como um altar de madeira.

22 Sua altura era de três côvados, enquanto a largura era de dois côvados. Havia ângulos {protuberantes}; sua base e suas paredes eram de madeira. Disse-me o homem: É aqui a mesa que está diante do Senhor.

23 O templo e o santo dos santos tinham cada um uma porta,

24 e cada porta era de dois batentes, que tinham duas bandeiras, duas bandeiras para cada batente.

25 Assim como nas paredes, querubins e palmeiras eram figurados nas portas do templo. Na fachada do vestíbulo no exterior, havia um anteparo de madeira.

26 Havia janelas gradeadas e palmeiras de uma e outra parte, nos lados do vestíbulo, nas câmaras laterais do templo, e nos anteparos.
