41 Afterward 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.

And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

After 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.

And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.

10 And between the chambers was the wideness 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 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.

20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.

22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

41 Þessu næst leiddi hann mig inn í aðalhúsið og mældi súlurnar, og voru þær sex álnir að þykkt báðumegin.

Og dyrnar voru tíu álna breiðar og dyraveggurinn fimm álnir hvorumegin. Hann mældi lengd Hins heilaga, og var hún fjörutíu álnir og breiddin tuttugu álnir.

Síðan gekk hann inn fyrir og mældi dyrastöplana, og voru þeir tveggja álna þykkir og vídd dyranna sex álnir, og dyraveggurinn sjö álnir hvorumegin.

Og hann mældi lengd hússins, og var hún tuttugu álnir, og breiddin tuttugu álnir frammi við aðalhúsið. Og hann sagði við mig: "Þetta er Hið allrahelgasta."

Þessu næst mældi hann musterisvegginn, og var hann sex álna þykkur og breidd hliðarhússins fjórar álnir allt í kringum musterið.

Lágu herbergin hvert áfast við annað, þrjátíu herbergi á þremur hæðum. Stallar voru á veggnum, sem var á musterinu fyrir hliðarherbergin allt í kring, til þess að þau hvíldu á honum, en væru eigi fest á musterisvegginn.

Og þau urðu æ breiðari, því ofar sem þau lágu kringum musterið, því að hliðarherbergin voru alveg upp úr hringinn í kringum musterið. Fyrir því minnkaði breidd hússins upp á við, og mátti ganga af neðsta gólfi hliðarhússins yfir neðra loftið upp á efra loftið.

Þá sá ég, að á musterishúsinu var pallur hringinn í kring, og grundvöllur hliðarherbergjanna var full sex álna mælistöng.

Þykkt útveggsins á hliðarhúsinu var fimm álnir, og var autt svæði milli hliðarhússins og musterisins,

10 milli herbergjanna, tuttugu álna breitt hringinn í kringum musterið.

11 Dyr gengu frá hliðarhúsinu að auðu svæði, aðrar dyrnar til norðurs, hinar til suðurs. Og breidd auða svæðisins var fimm álnir hringinn í kring.

12 Hús lá gegnt afgirta svæðinu við vesturhliðina. Var það sjötíu álna breitt og veggur þess fimm álna þykkur hringinn í kring og lengd þess níutíu álnir.

13 Þessu næst mældi hann musterishúsið, og var það hundrað álna langt. Afgirta svæðið og húsið með veggjum þess var hundrað álnir á lengd.

14 Og framhlið musterishússins og afgirta svæðið austan megin var hundrað álnir á breidd.

15 Og hann mældi lengd hússins gegnt afgirta svæðinu vestan við það og súlnagöng þess beggja vegna, og var það hundrað álnir. Aðalhúsið, innhúsið og forsalur þess,

16 þröskuldarnir og skáhöllu gluggarnir og súlnagöngin umhverfis, þessi þrjú hús voru þiljuð frá jörðu og upp að gluggum . . .

17 Uppi yfir dyrum aðalhússins innan og utan og á öllum veggnum innan og utan hringinn í kring

18 voru gjörðir kerúbar og pálmar, og var einn pálmi milli hverra tveggja kerúba. En kerúbinn hafði tvö andlit.

19 Annars vegar sneri mannsandlit að pálmanum, en ljónsandlit hins vegar. Svo var á húsinu allt um kring.

20 Neðan frá gólfi og upp fyrir dyr voru gjörðir kerúbar og pálmar á veggnum.

21 Umgjörðin yfir dyrunum og dyrastafir aðalhússins mynduðu ferhyrning. Fyrir framan helgidóminn var eitthvað, sem líktist

22 altari af tré, þriggja álna hátt. Það var tvær álnir á lengd og tvær álnir á breidd, og á því voru horn, og undirstöður þess og hliðveggir voru af tré. Og hann sagði við mig: "Þetta er borðið, sem stendur frammi fyrir Drottni."

23 Og tvöfaldar hurðir voru á aðalhúsinu og helgidóminum.

24 Í hvorum dyrum voru tvær hurðir, er léku á hjörum.

25 Og á hurðunum voru kerúbar og pálmar, eins og á veggjunum, og þakskyggni af tré var fram af forsalnum.

26 Og skáhallir gluggar og pálmar voru beggja vegna á hliðarveggjum forsalsins . . .
