3 These are Solomon's (A)measurements[a] for building the house of God: (B)the length, in cubits[b] of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house,[c] and its height was 120 cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold. 5 (C)The nave he lined with cypress and covered it with fine gold (D)and made palms and chains on it.
