Dimensions of the Sanctuary
1 Then he abrought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side—the width of the tabernacle.
2 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.
3 Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
4 aHe measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
The Side Chambers on the Wall
5 Next, he measured the wall of the1 temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.
6 aThe side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on1 ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but bnot fastened to the wall of the temple.
7 As one went up from story to story, the side chambers abecame 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.
