41And he brought me to the temple sanctuary,^a and he measured the pilasters, six cubits^b wide on each side;^c this was the width of the tent.^d ²And the width of the doorway was ten cubits,^e and the sidewall of the doorway was five cubits on each side,^f and he measured its^g length as forty cubits,^h and its width was twenty cubits.ⁱ ³And he went into the inner room, and he measured the pilaster of the doorway as two cubits^j and the doorway as six cubits^k and the width of the doorway seven cubits.^l ⁴And he measured its length as twenty cubits^m and its width as twenty cubits to the front of the temple, and he said to me, “This is the most holy place.ⁿ

⁵And he measured the wall of the temple as six cubits,^o and the width of the side room as four cubits^p all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall.^q ⁶And the side rooms were side by side^r in three stories and a total of thirty rooms,^s and there were offsets^t in the wall, which was for the temple for the side rooms, all the way around^u to be supports, and so they were not supports extending into the wall of the temple. ⁷And each level widened, and it went around^v upward^w to the side rooms for the structure that surrounds^x the temple upward^y all the way around,^z therefore the width increased to the temple upward,^a and thus the lower level goes up to the upper level by means of the middle story.

⁸And I saw for the temple a platform all the way around^b the foundations of the side rooms; it was the length of a full reed, six cubits long.^c ⁹The width of the outside wall, which was for the side room to the outside, was five cubits,^d and a space that was set between the side rooms, which was for the temple ¹⁰and between the chambers was the width of twenty cubits^e all around the temple, all the way around^f it. ¹¹And the doorway of the side room faced^g the open area; one doorway faced^h the north,ⁱ and one doorway was to the south, and the width of the place of the open area was five cubits^j all around.^k ¹²And the building that faced^l the courtyard was toward the west,^m and its width was seventy cubits,ⁿ and the wall of the building was five cubits^o wide all the way around,^p and its length was ninety cubits.^q ¹³And 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 ¹⁴And the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard to the east was a hundred cubits.^t
