Chapter 41
1He brought me to the temple and measured the pillars: six cubits wide on this side and six cubits wide on that side—the width of the tent.
2The width of the entrance was ten cubits; the shoulders of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side. He measured its length as forty cubits and its width as twenty cubits.
3He entered within and measured the pillar of the entrance: two cubits; the entrance itself was six cubits, and the width of the entrance was seven cubits.
4He measured its length as twenty cubits and its width as twenty cubits in front of the temple. He said to me, "This is the holiness of the holinesses."
5He measured the wall of the house at six cubits, and the width of the side at four cubits around the house.
6The sides were side by side, thirty-three times, and they entered the wall that belonged to the house for the sides all around, to be held, but they were not held in the wall of the house.
7It widened and turned upward to the sides, for the surrounding of the house rose upward around the house; therefore the width of the house increased upward, and likewise the lower rose upon the upper to the middle.
8I saw the height of the house around from the foundations of the sides to the fullness of the branch: six cubits to the joint.
9The width of the wall which belonged to the side toward the outside was five cubits, and that which was placed belonged to the place of the sides which belonged to the house.
10Between the chambers was a width of twenty cubits around the house.
11The entrance of the side chamber was toward the open space: one entrance on the north and one entrance on the south; the width of the open space was five cubits all around.
12The building which was toward the face of the separation on the side of the way of the sea was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits wide around, and its length was ninety cubits.
13He measured the house: its length was one hundred cubits; the separation, the building, and its walls had a length of one hundred cubits.
14The width of the face of the house and the separation toward the east was one hundred cubits.
15He measured the length of the building toward the face of the separation which was behind it, and its galleries on this side and on that side: one hundred cubits; the inner temple and the halls of the court.
16The thresholds, the shuttered windows, and the galleries around their three sides faced the threshold, paneled with wood all around; the floor extended to the windows, and the windows were covered.
17From above the entrance to the inner house and outward to all the wall around, in the inner and in the outer, were measurements.
18Cherubim and palms were made, with a palm between cherub and cherub, and two faces to the cherub.
19The face of a man was toward the palm from this side, and the face of a lion was toward the palm from that side; they were made toward all the house around.
20From the floor up to the space above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the temple.
21The temple had square doorposts, and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance as the temple.
22The altar was wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits, and its angles belonged to it; its length and its walls were wood. He spoke to me: "This is the table which is before the face of the LORD."
23There were two doors to the temple and to the holiness.
24There were two doors to each door: two leaves for each door; two belonged to one door and two to the other.
25Cherubim and palms were made on them, on the doors of the temple, just as they were made on the walls, and a wooden threshold was toward the face of the hall from the outside.
26Windows shuttered and palms from this side and from that side were toward the shoulders of the hall, the sides of the house, and the thresholds.
