13 And he measured the temple, and its length was a hundred cubits,r and the courtyard and the building and its walls, their length was a hundred cubits.s 14 And the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard to the east was a hundred cubits.t 15 And he measured the length of the building ⌊facing the courtyard⌋u ⌊at the rear⌋v and its galleries, ⌊a hundred cubitsw on each side⌋,x and also the temple, the court, and the porticos of the courtyard, 16 the thresholds and the framed windows and the galleries around the three of them. Before the threshold was a covering of wood all around,y and from the ground up to the windows, and all around the windows, they were covered. 17 ⌊Above⌋z the doorway and up to the inner templea and on the outside, and on all of the wall ⌊all the way around⌋b in the inner and in the outer areas were ⌊patterns⌋,c 18 and it was made of cherubim and palm tree images; a palm tree image between cherub and cherub, and ⌊the cherub had two faces⌋.d 19 And the face of a human ⌊was toward⌋e the palm tree image ⌊on the one side⌋,f and the face of a fierce strong lion ⌊faced⌋g the palm tree image ⌊on the other side⌋;h ⌊this work was executed⌋i for the entire temple ⌊all the way around⌋.j 20 From the ground up to ⌊above⌋k the doorway,l the cherubim and the palm tree images were made,m and also the outer wall of the temple.

21 As far as the temple is concerned its doorframe was squared, and ⌊before⌋n the sanctuary was the appearance as it were the appearance of 22 ⌊a wooden altar⌋o that was three cubitsp high, and its length was two cubits,q and its cornersr for it and its length and its walls were of wood. And he spoke to me, “This is the table that is ⌊before⌋s Yahweh.” 23 And the two doors were for the temple and for the sanctuary. 24 And two leavest of a door were for each of the doors, two hinged leaves of a door: two were for the first door, and two leaves of a door were for the other door. 25 And cherubim were madeu on them, that is, on the doors of the temple and palm tree images like ⌊the ones prepared for the walls⌋;v and an overhang of wood was on the surface of the porticos on the outside. 26 And narrow windows and palm tree images ⌊were on either side⌋,w and on the side walls of the portico, and the side rooms of the temple and theirx overhang.

Description of Rooms for the Priests

42 And he brought me out to the outer courtyard ⌊to the north⌋,a and he brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and which is opposite the building to the north. 2 As tob the face of the length of the building with the doorway to the north, it was a hundred cubits,c and itsd width was fifty cubits.e 3 Opposite the twenty cubits ⌊of the inner courtyard⌋,f and opposite the pavement that was to the outer courtyard was a gallery ⌊facing⌋g a gallery in the three stories. 4 And ⌊in front of⌋h the chambers was a passageway ten cubitsi in width toward the inside, a walkway of one cubit,j and their doorways were to the north. 5 And the upper chambers narrowed, for the galleries took away space from them more than they took from the lower levels and more than they took from the middle level in the building. 6 For theyk were three stories and ⌊they had no pillars⌋l likem the pillars ofn the courtyards; therefore they were smaller than the lower stories and than the middle stories from the ground up. 7 And there was a wall that was to the outside ⌊alongside⌋o the chambers on the walkway top the outer courtyardq ⌊in front of⌋r the chambers; its length was fiftys cubits.t 8 Foru the length of the chambers which were to the outer courtyard was fiftyv cubits,w and look!x The chambers on the front of the temple were a hundredy cubits.z 9 And from under these chambers was the entrancea from the east for them ⌊when one enters⌋b from the outer courtyard.

10 All along the width of the wall of the courtyard ⌊eastward⌋c in front of the courtyard to the front of the building were chambers. 11 And a walkway was ⌊before them⌋d like the appearance of the chambers which were on ⌊the north⌋,e just like them in their length, and so was their width and all their exits, and they were built like their arrangements and like their doorways, 12 and like the doorways of the chambers which were on the way of the south was a doorway at the head of the wayf ⌊before⌋ the stone wall, projectingg onh the way of the east at their coming.i

13 And he said to me, “The chambers of the north and the chambers of the south which are ⌊before⌋j the courtyard, they ⌊are the holy chambers⌋k in which the priests, who are near to Yahweh, will eat the ⌊most holy objects⌋.l There they shall put the ⌊most holy objects⌋,m and the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering, for the place is holy. 14 ⌊When the priests enter⌋,n then they shall not go out from the sanctuary to the outer courtyard; and there they must puto their garments in which they serve because they are holy. They must put on other garments and then they may approach the area that is for the people.
