1 He took me to the Hekal and measured its piers: six cubits wide on the one side, six cubits wide on theother.1 Et introduxit me in templum et mensus est postes: sex cu bitoslatitudinis hinc et sex cubitos latitudinis inde.
2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the returns of the entrance were five cubits on the oneside and five cubits on the other. He measured its length: forty cubits; and its width: twenty cubits.2 Et latitudo portae decemcubitorum erat, et latera portae quinque cubitis hinc et quinque cubitis inde;et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum et latitudinem viginticubitorum.
3 He then went inside and measured the pier at the entrance: two cubits; then the entrance; six cubits;and the returns of the entrance: seven cubits.3 Et introgressus intrinsecus, mensus est in poste portae duos cubitos et portamsex cubitorum et latitudinem laterum portae septem cubitorum hinc et septemcubitorum inde.
4 He measured its length; twenty cubits; and its width against the Hekal: twenty cubits. He then said tome, 'This is the Holy of Holies.'4 Et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum etlatitudinem viginti cubitorum versus faciem templi. Et dixit ad me: “ Hoc estSanctum sanctorum ”.
5 He then measured the wal of the Temple: six cubits. The width of the lateral structure was four cubits,al round the Temple.5 Et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum et latitudinem aedificii adiacentisquattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus;
6 The cel s were one above the other in three tiers of thirty cells each. The cells were recessed into thewal , the wal of the structure comprising the cel s, all round, forming offsets; but there were no offsets in the walof the Temple itself.6 cubicula autem adiacentia,cubiculum super cubiculum, in tribus tabulatis. Et erant margines eminentes inpariete domus pro cubiculis adiacentibus per circuitum, ut essent fulcra, nequeessent fulcra intra parietem domus,
7 The width of the cel s increased, storey by storey, corresponding to the amount taken in from the wallfrom one storey to the next, all round the Temple.7 et latitudo ambitus sursum ascendens iuxtacubicula adiacentia, quia circumdata erat domus usque sursum circa domum;idcirco amplificata erat domus usque sursum, et de inferiore tabulatoascendebatur ad superius per medium.
8 Then I saw that there was a paved terrace all round the Temple. The height of this, which formed thebase of the side cells, was one complete rod of six cubits.8 Et vidi in domo altitudinem percircuitum, fundamenta aedificii adiacentis mensura calami pleni, id est sexcubitorum, in altitudine.
9 The outer wal of the side cells was five cubits thick. There was a passage between the cel s of theTemple9 Et latitudo parietis aedificii adiacentis forinsecuserat quinque cubitorum. Et area vacua inter cubicula domui adiacentia,
10 and the rooms, twenty cubits wide, al round the Temple.10 etinter exedras habebat latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique.
11 As a way in to the lateral cel s on the passage there was one entrance on the north side and oneentrance on the south side. The width of the passage was five cubits right round.11 Et ostia aedificii adiacentis ad aream vacuam, ostium unum ad viam aquiloniset ostium unum ad viam australem; et latitudo muri areae vacuae quinquecubitorum in circuitu.
12 The building on the west side of the court was seventy cubits wide, the wal of the building was fivecubits thick al round and its length was ninety cubits.12 Et aedificium, quod erat ex adverso areae separatae versumque ad viamrespicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum; paries autem aedificiiquinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum et longitudo eius nonagintacubitorum.
13 He measured the length of the Temple: a hundred cubits.13 Et mensus est domus longitudinem centum cubitorum et areaeseparatae et aedificii et parietum eius longitudinem centum cubitorum;
14 The length of the court plus the building and its wal s: a hundred cubits.14 latitudinem autem faciei domus et areae separatae contra orientem centumcubitorum.
15 He measured the length of the building, along the court, at the back, and its gal eries on either side: ahundred cubits. The inside of the Hekal and the porches of the court,15 Et mensus est longitudinem aedificii ex adverso areae separatae addorsum et parietum eius ex utraque parte centum cubitorum. Et templum interiuset vestibulum exterius
16 the thresholds, the windows, the gal eries on three sides, facing the threshold, were panel ed withwood al round from floor to windows, and the windows were screened with latticework.16 strata erant ligno, et fenestrae marginatae etmargines in circuitu triplices contra limen erant strato ligno per gyrum incircuitu, et a terra usque ad fenestras — et fenestrae poterant claudi —usque ad superiora ostii;
17 From the door to the inner part of the Temple, as wel as outside, and on the wall all round, bothinside and out,17 et usque ad domum interiorem et forinsecus et peromnem parietem in circuitu, intrinsecus et forinsecus, ad mensuram
18 were carved great winged creatures and palm trees, one palm tree between two winged creatures;each winged creature had two faces:18 fabrefacticherubim et palmae, et palma inter cherub et cherub; duasque facies habebatcherub,
19 a human face turned towards the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion towards the palm treeon the other side, throughout the Temple, al round.19 faciem hominis versam ad palmam ex hac parte et faciem leonis versamad palmam ex alia parte: expressi per omnem domum in circuitu.
20 Winged creatures and palm trees were carved on the wal from the floor to above the entrance.20 De terra usquead superiora portae cherubim et palmae caelatae erant. In pariete templi
21 The doorposts of the Temple were square. In front of the sanctuary there was something like21 postes portae quadruplices, et coram sanctuario aspectus quasi aspectus
22 a wooden altar, three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base and sides were of wood.He said to me, 'This is the table in the presence of Yahweh.'22 altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo, et longitudo eius duorum cubitorum, etanguli eius et bases eius et parietes eius lignei. Et locutus est ad me: “Haec est mensa coram Domino ”.
23 The Hekal had double doors and the sanctuary23 Et duo ostia erant templo et sanctuario
24 double doors. These doors had two hinged leaves, two leaves for the one door, two leaves for theother.24 duo ostia. Ostiis erant duaevalvae versatiles usque ad parietem, valvae duae ostio uni et valvae duae ostioalteri.
25 On them (on the doors of the Hekal), were carved great winged creatures and palm trees like thosecarved on the wal s. There was a wooden porch roof on the front of the Ulam on the outside,25 Et caelati erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim et sculpturaepalmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressi erant; et tectum ligneum erat investibuli fronte forinsecus.
26 and windows with flanking palm trees on the sides of the Ulam, the cel s to the side of the Templeand the porch-roofs.26 Et fenestrae marginatae et similitudo palmarumhinc atque inde in lateribus vestibuli et in cubiculis adiacentibus domus.
