1 Depois disso, o homem me levou ao santuário do templo. Mediu as paredes de cada lado de sua porta, e tinham 3 metros de espessura. 2 A entrada tinha 5 metros de largura, e as paredes de cada lado tinham 2,5 metros de comprimento. O santuário propriamente dito tinha 20 metros de comprimento e 10 metros de largura.
3 Então ele passou do santuário para a sala interna. Mediu as paredes de cada lado de sua entrada, e tinham 1 metro de espessura. A entrada tinha 3 metros de largura, e as paredes de cada lado da entrada tinham 3,5 metros de comprimento. 4 A sala interna do santuário tinha 10 metros de comprimento e 10 metros de largura. Ele me disse: "Este é o lugar santíssimo".
5 Então ele mediu a parede do templo, e tinha 3 metros de espessura. Junto à parte externa da parede havia uma fileira de salas; cada sala tinha 2 metros de largura. 6 Essas salas laterais ficavam em três andares, uma acima da outra, e havia trinta salas em cada andar. Os pontos de sustentação das salas laterais ficavam apoiados em saliências externas na parede do templo; não se estendiam para dentro da parede. 7 Cada andar era mais largo que o andar abaixo, acompanhando a inclinação da parede do templo. Uma escada subia do andar inferior para os andares do meio e de cima.
8 Vi que o templo era construído sobre uma plataforma que servia de base para as salas laterais. Essa plataforma tinha 3 metros de altura. 9 A parede externa das salas laterais do templo tinha 2,5 metros espessura. Havia, portanto, uma área aberta entre essas salas laterais 10 e a fileira de salas junto à parede externa do pátio interno. Essa área aberta tinha 10 metros de largura e se estendia ao redor de todo o templo. 11 Duas portas nas salas laterais davam para a área aberta da plataforma, que tinha 2,5 metros de largura. Uma porta ficava voltada para o norte, e a outra, para o sul.
12 Havia um edifício grande a oeste, voltado para o pátio do templo. Tinha 35 metros de largura e 45 metros de comprimento, e suas paredes tinham 2,5 metros de espessura. 13 Então o homem mediu o templo, e tinha 50 metros de comprimento. O pátio ao redor do edifício, incluindo suas paredes, tinha mais 50 metros de comprimento. 14 O pátio interno do lado leste do templo tinha 50 metros de largura. 15 O edifício a oeste, incluindo suas duas paredes, também tinha 50 metros de largura.
O santuário, a sala interna e o pórtico do templo 16 eram todos revestidos de madeira, assim como as armações das janelas embutidas. As paredes internas eram revestidas de madeira acima e abaixo das janelas. 17 O espaço acima da porta que dava para a sala interna e suas paredes internas e externas também eram revestidos de madeira. 18 Todas as paredes eram enfeitadas com entalhes de querubins, cada um com dois rostos, alternados com entalhes de palmeiras. 19 Um dos rostos do querubim, o rosto de homem, ficava voltado para a palmeira de um lado. O outro rosto, o de leão forte, ficava voltado para a palmeira do outro lado. Havia figuras entalhadas ao redor de todo o templo, 20 desde o chão até o alto das paredes, inclusive na parede externa do santuário.
21 Na entrada do santuário havia colunas quadradas, e as colunas na entrada do lugar santíssimo eram semelhantes. 22 Havia um altar de madeira com 1,5 metros de altura e 1 metro de cada lado. Seus cantos, sua base e seus lados eram de madeira. O homem me disse: "Esta é a mesa que fica na presença do Senhor".
23 Tanto o santuário como o lugar santíssimo tinham portas duplas, 24 cada uma com duas folhas que se abriam para os dois lados. 25 As portas que davam para o santuário eram enfeitadas com entalhes de querubins e de palmeiras, assim como as paredes. E havia uma cobertura de madeira na frente do pórtico do templo. 26 Dos dois lados do pórtico havia janelas embutidas enfeitadas com entalhes de palmeiras. As salas laterais junto à parede externa também tinham coberturas.
1 And 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 entrance was ten cubits. And the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. And he measured the length of it, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3 Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits, and the entrance, six cubits, and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
4 And he measured the length of it, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple. And he said to me, This is the most holy place.
5 Then 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 in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order. And they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side-chambers round about, that they might be attached [to it], and not be attac
7 And the side-chambers were broader as they circled [the house] higher and higher, for the circling of the house went higher and higher round about the house. Therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward, and so increased [
8 I also saw that the house had a raised basement 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-chambers, on the outside, was five cubits. And that which was left was the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house.
10 And between the chambers was a breadth 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 And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length of it ninety cubits.
13 So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long, and the separate place, and the building, with the walls of it, a hundred cubits long,
14 also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place 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, and the galleries of it 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 on their three stories, opposite the threshold, paneled with wood round about, and [from] the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
17 to [the space] above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall round about inside and outside, by measure.
18 And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub. And every cherub had two faces,
19 so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side, made through all the house round about.
20 Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. Thus was the wall of the temple.
21 As for the temple, the door-posts were squared. And as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance was as the appearance [of the temple].
22 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length of it two cubits, and the corners of it, and the length of it, and the walls of it, were of wood. And he said to me, This is the table that is before LORD.
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 And the doors had two leaves [apiece], 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, just as were made upon the walls. And there was a threshold of wood upon the face of the porch outside.
26 And there were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. Thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
