The Babylonian Exile

And between the chambers is a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house, all round about.

And the opening of the side-chamber is to the place left, one opening northward, and one opening southward, and the breadth of the place that is left is five cubits all round about.

As to the building that is at the front of the separate place at the corner westward, the breadth is seventy cubits, and the wall of the building five cubits broad all round about, and its length ninety cubits.

And he hath measured the house, the length is a hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its walls, the length is a hundred cubits;

and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the separate place eastward, a hundred cubits.

And he hath measured the length of the building unto the front of the separate place that is at its hinder part, and its galleries on this side and on that side, a hundred cubits, and the inner temple and the porches of the court,

the thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about them three, over-against the threshold, a ceiling of wood all round about, and the ground unto the windows and the covered windows,

over above the opening, and unto the inner-house, and at the outside, and by all the wall all round about within and without by measure.

And it is made with cherubs and palm-trees, and a palm-tree is between cherub and cherub, and two faces are to the cherub;

and the face of man is unto the palm-tree on this side, and the face of a young lion unto the palm-tree on that side; it is made unto all the house all round about.

from the earth unto above the opening are the cherubs and the palm-trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

Of the temple the side post is square, and of the front of the sanctuary, the appearance is as the appearance.

Of the altar, the wood is three cubits in height, and its length two cubits; and its corners are to it, and its length, and its walls are of wood, and he speaketh unto me, `This is the table that is before Jehovah.'

And two doors are to the temple and to the sanctuary;

and two leaves are to the doors, two turning leaves are to the doors, two to the one door, and two leaves to the other.

And made on them, on the doors of the temple, are cherubs and palm-trees as are made on the walls, and a thickness of wood is at the front of the porch on the outside.

And narrow windows and palm-trees are on this side, and on that side, at the sides of the porch, and the side-chambers of the house, and the thick places.

And he bringeth me forth unto the outer court, the way northward, and he bringeth me in unto the chamber that is over-against the separate place, and that is over-against the building at the north.

At the front of the length is a hundred cubits at the north opening, and the breadth fifty cubits.

Over-against the twenty cubits that are to the inner court, and over-against the pavement that is to the outer court, is gallery over-against gallery, in the three storeys .

And at the front of the chambers is a walk of ten cubits in breadth unto the inner part, a way of one cubit, and their openings are at the north.

And the upper chambers are short, for the galleries contain more than these, than the lower, and than the middle one, of the building;

for they are threefold, and they have no pillars as the pillars of the court, therefore it hath been kept back--more than the lower and than the middle one--from the ground.

As to the wall that is at the outside, over-against the chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the chambers, its length is fifty cubits;

for the length of the chambers that are to the outer court is fifty cubits, and of those on the front of the temple a hundred cubits.
