¹⁵ He measured the length of the ^(A)building ^[a]along the front of the ^(B)separate area behind it, with a ^[b](C)gallery on each side, one hundred cubits, along with the inner nave and the porches of the court.

Carvings and Furnishings

¹⁶ The ^(D)thresholds, the ^[c](E)latticed windows, and the ^[d](F)galleries round about their ^(G)three stories, opposite the threshold, were ^(H)paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), ¹⁷ over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. ¹⁸ It was ^[e]carved with ^(I)cherubim and ^(J)palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, ¹⁹ a ^(K)man’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young ^(L)lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were ^[f]carved on all the house all around. ²⁰ From the ground to above the entrance ^(M)cherubim and ^(N)palm trees were ^[g]carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.

²¹ The ^(O)doorposts of the ^(P)nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. ²² The ^(Q)altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its ^[h]base, and its ^[i]sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the ^(R)table that is before Yahweh.” ²³ The ^(S)nave and the ^(T)sanctuary each had a double ^(U)door. ²⁴ Each of the doors had two leaves, two ^[j](V)swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. ²⁵ Also there were ^[k]carved on them, on the doors of the nave, ^(W)cherubim and ^(X)palm trees like those ^[l]carved on the walls; and there was a ^(Y)canopy of wood over the front of the porch outside. ²⁶ There were ^[m](Z)latticed windows and ^(AA)palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the ^(AB)porch; thus were the ^(AC)side chambers of the house and the canopies.
