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.
8 I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, aa full rod, that is, six cubits high.
9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and so also the remaining terrace by the place of the side chambers of the1 temple.
10 And between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side.
11 The doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace was five cubits all around.
The Building at the Western End
12 The building that faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
Dimensions and Design of the Temple Area
13 So he measured the temple, one ahundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long;
14 also the width of the eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one hundred cubits.
15 He measured the length of the building behind it, facing the separating courtyard, with its agalleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner1 temple and the porches of the court,
16 their doorposts and athe beveled window frames. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with bwood from the ground to the windows—the windows were covered—
17 from the space above the door, even to the inner1 room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure.
