chapter 41
1
And he
brought me into the temple, and he measured the fronts six cubits broad on this
side, and six cubits on that side, the breadth of the tabernacle.
2 And the breadth of the gate was ten cubits: and the
sides of the gate five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and
he measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
3 Then going inward he measured the front of the gate
two cubits: and the gate six cubits, and the breadth of the gate seven cubits.
4 And he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and
the breadth twenty cubits, before the face of the temple: and he said to me:
This is the holy of holies.
5 And 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.
6 And the side chambers one by another, were twice
thirty-three: and they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall
of the house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of
the temple.
7 And there was a broad passage round about, going up
by winding stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round:
therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the lower
parts they went to the higher by the midst.
8 And I saw in the house the height round about, the
foundations of the side chambers which were the measure of a reed the space of
six cubits:
9 And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber
without, which was five cubits: and the inner house was within the side
chambers of the house.
10 And between the chambers was the breadth of twenty
cubits round about the house on every side.
11 And the door of the side chambers was turned towards
the place of prayer: one door was toward the north, and another door was toward
the south: and the breadth of the place for prayer, was five cubits round
about.
12 And the building that was separate, and turned to
the way that looked toward the sea, was seventy cubits broad: and the wall of
the building, five cubits thick round about: and ninety cubits long.
13 And he measured the length of the house, a hundred
cubits: and the separate building, and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits in
length.
14 And the breadth before the face of the house, and of
the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the building over
against it, which was separated at the back of it: and the galleries on both
sides a hundred cubits: and the inner temple, and the porches of the court.
16 The thresholds, and the oblique windows, and the
galleries round about on three sides, over against the threshold of every one,
and floored with wood all round about: and the ground was up to the windows,
and the windows were shut over the doors.
17 And even to the inner house, and without all the
wall round about within and without, by measure.
18 And there were cherubims and palm trees wrought, so
that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub, and every cherub had two
faces.
19 The face of a man was toward the palm tree on one
side, and the face of a lion was toward the palm tree on the other side: set
forth through all the house round about.
20 From the ground even to the upper parts of the gate,
were cherubims and palm trees wrought in the wall of the temple.
21 The threshold was foursquare, and the face of the
sanctuary, sight to sight.
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high: and the
length thereof was two cubits: and the corners thereof, and the length thereof,
and the walls thereof were of wood. And he said to me: This is the table before
the Lord.
23 And there were two doors in the temple, and in the
sanctuary.
24 And in the two doors on both sides were two little
doors, which were folded within each other: for there were two wickets on both
sides of the doors.
25 And there were cherubims also wrought in the doors
of the temple, and the figures of palm trees, like as were made on the walls:
for which cause also the planks were thicker in the front of the porch without.
26 Upon which were the oblique windows, and the
representation of palm trees on this side, and on that side in the sides of the
porch, according to the sides of the house, and the breadth of the walls.
