## The Nave 

###### 1
Then he brought me to the nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side _was_ the width of the side pillar. 

###### 2
The width of the entrance _was_ ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance _were_ five cubits on each side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits. 

## The Holy of Holies 

###### 3
Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits _high_; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits. 

###### 4
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, "This is the Holy of Holies." 

## The Wall, Side Chambers, and West Building 

###### 5
Then he measured the wall of the house _of Yahweh_, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side. 

###### 6
The side chambers were in three stories, one above another, and thirty in each story; and the side chambers extended to the wall which _stood_ on their inward side all around, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened into the wall of the house _itself_. 

###### 7
The side chambers surrounding the house were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the house went upward by stages on all sides of the house, therefore the width of the house _increased_ as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest _story_ to the highest by way of the second _story_. 

###### 8
I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits _in height_. 

###### 9
The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers _was_ five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the house 

###### 10
and the _outer_ chambers _was_ twenty cubits in width all around the house on every side. 

###### 11
The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space _consisted of_ one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the place of the free space _was_ five cubits all around. 

###### 12
The building that _was_ in front of the separate area at the side toward the west _was_ seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building _was_ five cubits thick all around, and its length _was_ ninety cubits. 

## The Measurements of the Building 

###### 13
Then he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls _were_ also one hundred cubits long. 

###### 14
Also the width of the front of the house and _that of_ the separate areas along the east _side totaled_ one hundred cubits. 

###### 15
He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, one hundred cubits, along with the inner nave and the porches of the court. 

## Carvings and Furnishings 

###### 16
The thresholds, the latticed windows, and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and _from_ the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 

###### 17
over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 

###### 18
It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, 

###### 19
a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around. 

###### 20
From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as _on_ the wall of the nave. 

###### 21
The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 

###### 22
The altar _was_ of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base, and its sides _were_ of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before Yahweh." 

###### 23
The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. 

###### 24
Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two _leaves_ for one door and two leaves for the other. 

###### 25
Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and _there was_ a canopy of wood over the front of the porch outside. 

###### 26
_There were_ latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus _were_ the side chambers of the house and the canopies.
