Chapter 41

     And 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 ^7 tabernacle.  And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the
^8 sides of the entrance 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.  Then went he inward, and measured each post of the
entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the
entrance, seven cubits.  And 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.

[Footnote 7: Heb. tent.  See Ex. 26. 22-25.]

[Footnote 8: Heb. shoulders.]

     Then 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.  And the
side-chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order;
and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the
side-chambers round about, that they might have hold therein, and not have
hold in the wall of the house.  And ^9 the side-chambers were broader as they
encompassed the house higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house
went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the
house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest chamber to the
highest by the middle chamber.  I saw also ^10 that the house had ^11 a raised
basement round about: the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed ^1
of six great cubits.  The thickness of the wall, which was for the
side-chambers, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was
the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house.  And between the
chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
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.

[Footnote 9: Or, 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]

[Footnote 10: Or, that the house was high round about]

[Footnote 11: Heb. height.]

[Footnote 1: Or, of six cubits to the joining]

     And the building that was before the separate place at the side 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.  So he
measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the
building, with the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long; also the breadth of
the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred
cubits.

     And he measured the length of the building before the separate place
which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and
on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of
the court; the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round
about on their three stories, over against the threshold, ceiled with wood
round about, and from the ground up to the windows (now the windows were
covered), to the space above the door, even unto the inner house, and without,
and by all the wall round about within and without, ^2 by measure. And it was
made with cherubim and palm-trees; and a palm-tree was between cherub and
cherub, and every cherub had two faces; so that there was the face of a man
toward the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the
palm-tree on the other side.  Thus was it made through all the house round
about: from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm-trees made;
^3 thus was the wall of the temple.

[Footnote 2: Heb. measures.]

[Footnote 3: Another reading is, And as for the wall of the temple, the door-
posts were squared.]

     As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and as for the face of
the sanctuary, the appearance thereof was ^4 as the appearance of the temple.
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits;
and ^5 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 Jehovah.
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.  And the doors had two leaves
apiece, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for
the other.  And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim
and palm-trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there was a threshold of
wood ^6 upon the face of the porch without.  And there were closed windows and
palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch:
thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds.

[Footnote 4: Or, as the former appearance]

[Footnote 5: Or, it had its corners; and &c.]

[Footnote 6: Or, before the porch]
