Then he brought me to the nave and measured the pilasters: six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other — the width of the tent.
The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the walls flanking the entrance were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other. He measured the length of the nave: forty cubits, and its width: twenty cubits.
Then he went farther in and measured the pilaster of the doorway: two cubits; the doorway itself: six cubits; and the width of the doorway: seven cubits.
He measured its length: twenty cubits, and its width: twenty cubits, across from the nave. And he said to me, "This is the Most Holy Place."
Then he measured the wall of the temple: six cubits thick. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits.
The side chambers were arranged one above another, three tiers with thirty chambers in each. There were ledges in the temple wall all around, on which the side chambers rested, so they were not fastened into the wall of the temple itself.
The side chambers grew wider as they rose from story to story, because the surrounding structure of the temple ascended stage by stage all around it; therefore the width of the building increased as it went up. So one climbed from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.
I also saw that the temple had a raised platform all around it, the foundations of the side chambers: a full rod, six long cubits.
The outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits thick. The open area between the side chambers of the temple
and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide, all around the temple on every side.
The side chambers opened onto the open area: one entrance on the north and one on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.
The building facing the restricted area on the west side was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.
Then he measured the temple: a hundred cubits long. The courtyard, together with the building and its walls, was also a hundred cubits long.
The width of the temple front, including the courtyard on the east, was a hundred cubits.
He measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, along with its galleries on either side: a hundred cubits. He measured the inner nave and the vestibules of the court,
the thresholds, the recessed windows, and the galleries all around the three of them. From the threshold up, everything was paneled with wood all around, and from the floor to the windows — the windows being covered —
The paneling reached above the entrance, as far as the inner room, and outside as well. On every wall all around, inside and out, there were carvings by measure:
cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between each pair of cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:
the face of a man toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved throughout the temple, all around.
From the floor to the space above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the nave.
The doorposts of the nave were square. In front of the sanctuary stood something that looked like
an altar of wood, three cubits high and two cubits long, with its corners, its base, and its sides all of wood.* And he said to me, "This is the table that stands before the LORD." [*Footnote: The Hebrew here reads "its length and its walls were wood"; "its base" follows the ancient Greek reading.]
The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door,
and each door had two swinging leaves — two leaves for the one door and two for the other.
On the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, like those carved on the walls. And there was a wooden canopy over the front of the vestibule, on the outside.
There were recessed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule; and so also on the side chambers of the temple and on the canopies.
