1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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 . 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. 9 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.
1 Então ele me levou ao templo e mediu os pilares, três metros de largura de um lado e três metros de largura do outro, que era a largura do tabernáculo. 2 A largura da entrada era de cinco metros, e as paredes laterais tinham dois metros e meio, uma de cada lado. Também mediu a profundidade da nave, e deu vinte metros; mediu a largura, e deu dez metros. 3 Entrou na parte interior, mediu o pilar da entrada, e deu um metro; mediu a largura da entrada, e deu três metros. 4 Também mediu o seu comprimento, e deu dez metros; mediu a largura, e deu dez metros, na parte frontal da nave. Então ele me disse:
— Este é o Santo dos Santos.
As câmaras laterais
5 Depois ele mediu a parede do templo: três metros de espessura. A largura de cada câmara lateral era de dois metros. Essas câmaras ficavam em toda a volta do templo. 6 As câmaras laterais estavam em três andares, câmara sobre câmara, trinta em cada andar. E havia reentrâncias na parede do templo ao redor, para as câmaras laterais, para que as vigas se apoiassem nelas e não fossem introduzidas na parede do templo. 7 As câmaras laterais aumentavam em largura de andar para andar, correspondendo às reentrâncias do templo de andar em andar ao redor; por isso o templo era mais largo em cima. Assim, se subia do andar inferior para o superior, passando pelo andar do meio.
8 E vi um pavimento elevado ao redor do templo; eram os alicerces das câmaras laterais de três metros de altura. 9 A grossura da parede externa das câmaras laterais era de dois metros e meio. A área aberta entre as câmaras laterais do templo 10 e as outras câmaras tinha dez metros de largura por todo o redor do templo. 11 As entradas das câmaras laterais estavam voltadas para a área aberta: uma entrada para o norte e outra para o sul; a largura da área que sobrava era de dois metros e meio ao redor.
O edifício do lado oeste
12 O edifício que estava numa área separada, do lado oeste, tinha a largura de trinta e cinco metros. A parede do edifício tinha dois metros e meio de espessura ao redor, e o seu comprimento era de quarenta e cinco metros.
As medidas totais do templo
13 Então ele mediu o templo: cinquenta metros de comprimento. A área separada, o edifício e as suas paredes também tinham cinquenta metros de comprimento. 14 A largura da frente do templo e da área separada, do lado oeste, era de cinquenta metros. 15 Também mediu o comprimento do edifício, que estava na área separada e por detrás do templo, e as suas galerias em cada lado, e deu cinquenta metros.
O templo propriamente dito, o Santíssimo, o vestíbulo do átrio, 16 os umbrais, as janelas estreitas e as galerias ao redor dos três, diante do umbral, estavam cobertos de madeira ao redor, e isto desde o chão até as janelas, que estavam cobertas. 17 No espaço em cima da porta, e até o templo de dentro e de fora, e em toda a parede ao redor, por dentro e por fora, havia obras de escultura, 18 a saber, querubins e palmeiras. Entre um querubim e outro querubim havia uma palmeira. Cada querubim tinha dois rostos: 19 um rosto humano olhava para a palmeira de um lado, e um rosto de leão olhava para a palmeira do outro lado. Era assim por todo o templo ao redor. 20 Desde o chão até acima da entrada havia querubins e palmeiras, até mesmo pela parede do templo.
21 Os batentes do templo eram quadrados, e a entrada do Santo dos Santos tinha a mesma aparência.
O altar de madeira
22 O altar de madeira tinha um metro e meio de altura, e o seu comprimento era de um metro. Os seus cantos, a sua base e os seus lados eram de madeira. O homem me disse:
— Esta é a mesa que está diante do Senhor.
As portas
23 Tanto o templo quanto o Santo dos Santos tinham duas portas. 24 Havia duas folhas para as portas, duas folhas dobráveis; duas para cada porta. 25 Nelas, isto é, nas portas do templo, havia querubins e palmeiras, como havia nas paredes. Havia também uma cobertura feita de madeira na frente do vestíbulo por fora. 26 E havia janelas estreitas e palmeiras em ambos os lados do vestíbulo, bem como nas câmaras laterais do templo e na cobertura de madeira.
