To the temple – The fourth temple. R1297:1*
|
| 2 And the breadth of the opening [is] ten cubits; and the sides of the opening [are] five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and he measureth its length forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. |
|
| 3 And he hath gone inward, and measureth the post of the opening two cubits, and the opening six cubits, and the breadth of the opening seven cubits. |
|
| 4 And he measureth its length twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, unto the front of the temple, and he saith unto me, 'This [is] the holy of holies.' |
|
| 5 And he measureth the wall of the house six cubits, and the breadth of the side-chamber four cubits, all round the house round about. |
|
| 6 And the side-chambers [are] side-chamber by side-chamber, three and thirty times; and they are entering into the wall which the house hath for the side-chambers all round about to be taken hold of, and they are not taken hold of by the wall of the house. |
|
| 7 And a broad place and a turning place still upwards [are] to the side-chambers, for the turning round of the house [is] still upwards all round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [is] upwards, and so the lower one goeth up unto the higher by the midst. |
|
| 8 And I have looked at the house, the height all round about: the foundations of the side-chambers [are] the fulness of the reed, six cubits by the joining. |
|
| 9 The breadth of the wall that [is] to the side-chamber at the outside [is] five cubits; and that which is left [is] the place of the side-chambers that [are] to the house. |

| 10 And between the chambers [is] a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house, all round about. |
|
| 11 And the opening of the side-chamber [is] to the place left, one opening northward, and one opening southward, and the breadth of the place that is left [is] five cubits all round about. |
|
| 12 As to the building that [is] at the front of the separate place [at] the corner westward, the breadth [is] seventy cubits, and the wall of the building five cubits broad all round about, and its length ninety cubits. |
|
| 13 And he hath measured the house, the length [is] a hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its walls, the length [is] a hundred cubits; |
|
| 14 and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the separate place eastward, a hundred cubits. |
|
| 15 And he hath measured the length of the building unto the front of the separate place that [is] at its hinder part, and its galleries on this side and on that side, a hundred cubits, and the inner temple and the porches of the court, |
|
| 16 the thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about them three, over-against the threshold, a ceiling of wood all round about, and the ground unto the windows and the covered windows, |
|
| 17 over above the opening, and unto the inner-house, and at the outside, and by all the wall all round about within and without [by] measure. |
|
| 18 And it is made [with] cherubs and palm-trees, and a palm-tree [is] between cherub and cherub, and two faces [are] to the cherub; |
|
| 19 and the face of man [is] unto the palm-tree on this side, and the face of a young lion unto the palm-tree on that side; it is made unto all the house all round about. |
|
| 20 from the earth unto above the opening [are] the cherubs and the palm-trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple. |
|
| 21 Of the temple the side post [is] square, and of the front of the sanctuary, the appearance [is] as the appearance. |
|
| 22 Of the altar, the wood [is] three cubits in height, and its length two cubits; and its corners [are] to it, and its length, and its walls [are] of wood, and he speaketh unto me, 'This [is] the table that [is] before Jehovah.' |
|
| 23 And two doors [are] to the temple and to the sanctuary; |
|
| 24 and two leaves [are] to the doors, two turning leaves [are] to the doors, two to the one door, and two leaves to the other. |
|
| 25 And made on them, on the doors of the temple, [are] cherubs and palm-trees as are made on the walls, and a thickness of wood [is] at the front of the porch on the outside. |
|
| 26 And narrow windows and palm-trees [are] on this side, and on that side, at the sides of the porch, and the side-chambers of the house, and the thick places. |
