¹ И вывел меня ко внешнему двору северною дорогою, и привел меня ккомнатам, которые против площади и против здания на севере,

² к тому месту, которое у северных дверей имеет в длину сто локтей, а в ширину пятьдесят локтей.

³ Напротив двадцати локтей внутреннего двора и напротив помоста, который на внешнем дворе, былигалерея против галереи в три яруса.

⁴ А перед комнатами ход в десять локтей ширины, а внутрь в один локоть; двери их лицом к северу.

⁵ Верхние комнаты уже, потому что галереи отнимают у них несколькопротив нижних и средних комнат этого здания.

⁶ Они в три яруса, и таких столбов, какие на дворах, нет у них; потому они и сделаны уже против нижних и средних комнат, начиная от пола.

⁷ А наружная стена напротив этих комнат от внешнего двора, составляющая лицевую сторону комнат, имеет длины пятьдесят локтей;

⁸ потому что и комнаты на внешнем дворе занимают длины только пятьдесят локтей, и вот перед храмом сто локтей.

⁹ А снизу ход к этим комнатам с восточной стороны, когдаподходят к ним со внешнего двора.

¹⁰ В ширину стены двора к востоку перед площадью и перед зданием были комнаты.

¹¹ И ход перед ними такой же, как и у тех комнат, которые обращены к северу, такая же длина, как и у тех, и такая же ширина, и все выходы их, и устройство их, и двери их такие же, как и у тех.

¹² Такие же двери, как и у комнат, которые на юг, и для входа в них дверь у самой дороги, которая шла прямо вдоль стены на восток.

¹³ И сказал он мне: „комнаты на север и комнаты на юг, которые перед площадью, суть комнаты священные, в которых священники, приближающиеся к Господу, съедают священнейшие жертвы; там же они кладут священнейшие жертвы, и хлебное приношение, и жертву за грех, и жертву за преступление, ибо это место святое.

¹⁴ Когда войдут туда священники, то они не должны выходить из этого святаго места на внешний двор, доколе не оставят там одежд своих, в которых служили, ибо они священны; они должны надеть на себя другие одежды и тогда выходить к народу".

¹⁵ Когда кончил он измерения внутреннего храма, то вывел меня воротами, обращенными лицом к востоку, и стал измерять его кругом.

¹⁶ Он измерил восточную сторону тростью измерения и намерил тростью измерения всего пятьсот тростей;

¹⁷ в северной стороне той же тростью измерения намерил всего пятьсот тростей;

¹⁸ в южной стороне намерил тростью измерения также пятьсот тростей.

¹⁹ Поворотив к западной стороне, намерил тростью измерения пятьсот тростей.

²⁰ Со всех четырех сторон он измерил его; кругом него была стена длиною в пятьсот тростей и в пятьсот тростей шириною, чтобы отделить святоеместо от несвятого.

¹ 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 tent.

² The breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.

³ 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.

⁴ He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

⁵ Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

⁶ The side rooms 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 rooms all around, that they might have hold [therein], and not have hold in the wall of the house.

⁷ The side rooms were broader as they encompassed [the house] higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher around the house: therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [room] to the highest by the middle [room].

⁸ I saw also that the house had a raised base all around: the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

⁹ The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

¹⁰ Between the rooms was a breadth of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

¹¹ The doors of the side rooms 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 all around.

¹² 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 all around, and its length ninety cubits.

¹³ So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

¹⁴ also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

¹⁵ He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

¹⁶ the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and [from] the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

¹⁷ to [the space] above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

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

¹⁹ 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 all around:

²⁰ from the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

²¹ As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance [of it] was as the appearance [of the temple].

²² The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before Yahweh.

²³ The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

²⁴ The doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves: two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

²⁵ There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

²⁶ 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 rooms of the house, and the thresholds.
