¹ 他带我到殿那里量墙柱：这面厚六肘，那面厚六肘，宽窄与会幕相同。

² 门口宽十肘。门两旁，这边五肘，那边五肘。他量殿长四十肘，宽二十肘。

³ 他到内殿量墙柱，各厚二肘。门口宽六肘，门两旁各宽七肘。

⁴ 他量内殿，长二十肘，宽二十肘。他对我说：这是至圣所。

⁵ 他又量殿墙，厚六肘；围着殿有旁屋，各宽四肘。

⁶ 旁屋有三层，层叠而上，每层排列三十间。旁屋的梁木搁在殿墙坎上，免得插入殿墙。

⁷ 这围殿的旁屋越高越宽；因旁屋围殿悬叠而上，所以越上越宽，从下一层，由中一层，到上一层。

⁸ 我又见围着殿有高站台。旁屋的根基，高足一竿，就是六大肘。

⁹ 旁屋的外墙厚五肘。旁屋之外还有馀地。

¹⁰ 在旁屋与对面的房屋中间有空地，宽二十肘。

¹¹ 旁屋的门都向馀地：一门向北，一门向南。周围的馀地宽五肘。

¹² 在西面空地之後有房子，宽七十肘，长九十肘，墙四围厚五肘。

¹³ 这样，他量殿，长一百肘，又量空地和那房子并墙，共长一百肘。

¹⁴ 殿的前面和两旁的空地，宽一百肘。

¹⁵ 他量空地後面的那房子，并两旁的楼廊，共长一百肘。

¹⁶ 内殿、院廊、门槛、严紧的窗棂，并对着门槛的三层楼廊，从地到窗棂（窗棂都有蔽子），

¹⁷ 直到门以上，就是到内殿和外殿内外四围墙壁，都按尺寸用木板遮蔽。

¹⁸ 墙上雕刻基路伯和棕树。每二基路伯中间有一棵棕树，每基路伯有二脸。

¹⁹ 这边有人脸向着棕树，那边有狮子脸向着棕树，殿内周围都是如此。

²⁰ 从地至门以上，都有基路伯和棕树。殿墙就是这样。

²¹ 殿的门柱是方的。至圣所的前面，形状和殿的形状一样。

²² 坛是木头做的，高三肘，长二肘。坛角和坛面，并四旁，都是木头做的。他对我说：这是耶和华面前的桌子。

²³ 殿和至圣所的门各有两扇。

²⁴ 每扇分两扇，这两扇是摺叠的。这边门分两扇，那边门也分两扇。

²⁵ 殿的门扇上雕刻基路伯和棕树，与刻在墙上的一般。在外头廊前有木槛。

²⁶ 廊这边那边都有严紧的窗棂和棕树；殿的旁屋和槛就是这样。

¹ Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

² He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.

³ There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.

⁴ Jacob said to them, "My relatives, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

⁵ He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

⁶ He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."

⁷ He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

⁸ They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."

⁹ While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

¹⁰ It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

¹¹ Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹² Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.

¹³ It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

¹⁴ Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.

¹⁵ Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"

¹⁶ Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

¹⁷ Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

¹⁸ Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."

¹⁹ Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

²⁰ Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

²¹ Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

²² Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

²³ It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

²⁴ Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

²⁵ It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

²⁶ Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁷ Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years."

²⁸ Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

²⁹ Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid.

³⁰ He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

³¹ Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

³² Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me."

³³ She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon.

³⁴ She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore was his name called Levi.

³⁵ She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise Yahweh." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
