front of the sanctuary. He said, "This is the holy of holies."
5 He measured the wall of the house as six cubits and the breadth of the side as four
cubits all around. 6 The sides were thirty-three twice, side by side. There was a space in
the wall of the house, in the sides all around, existing for those who are attempting to
see so that they might not at all touch the walls of the house. 7 The breadth of the
upper one of the sides was according to the projection out of the wall, against the
upper one around the house, so that it might be flattened out from above and they
might ascend to the upper stories from those below and to the third stories from the
middle ones. 8 The tharél A of the house was a summit all around. The space of the sides
was equal to a reed; the space was six cubits. 9 The breadth of the wall of the outer side
was five cubits. As for the remaining areas between the sides of the house 10 and
between the arcades, the breadth was twenty cubits, the circumference of the house all
around. 11 The doors of the arcades were toward the remaining area of the one door
which was to the north, and there was one door to the south. The breadth of the light B
of the remaining area was five cubits wide all around.
12 The partition in front of the remaining area, like one toward the sea, was seventy
cubits; the width of the wall of the partition was five cubits in breadth all around, and
its length was ninety cubits. 13 He measured a length of one hundred cubits opposite the
house; as for the remaining areas, the partitions, and their walls, the length was one
hundred cubits. 14 The breadth in front of the house and the remaining areas opposite
was one hundred cubits.
15 He measured the length of the partition in front of the remaining area of the back
parts of that house; as for the remaining areas on this side and on that side, the length
was one hundred cubits. The sanctuary, the corners, and the outer ulam were overlaid
with ceilings. 16 The windows were latticed, narrow openings all around for the three so
as to look through. The house and the adjoining parts were planked all around, as well
as the floor and from the floor as far as the windows. The windows opened out in three
parts in order to look through. 17 As far as what was next to the inner one and as far as
the outer one, and on the entire wall all around on the inside and on the outside,
18 there were carved cherubim and palm trees between the cherub and cherub. There
were two faces for a cherub: 19 the face of a man was toward a palm tree on this side
and on that side, and the face of a lion was toward a palm tree on this side and on that
side. The entire house was carved all around. 20 From the floor to the ceiling there were
cherubim and carved palm trees.
21 The holy place and the sanctuary opened out on four sides. In front of the holy
places, the appearance was like the sight of a wooden altar; 22 its height was three
cubits, the length was two cubits, and the breadth was two cubits. It had horns, and its
base and its walls were wooden. He said to me, "This is the table which is before the
presence of the Lord." 23 There were two doorways for the sanctuary and the holy place.
24 There were two doorways for the two pivoting doorways, two doorways for the one
