9. The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple
10. and the outer chambers was twenty cubits in width all around the temple on every side.
11. The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around.
12. The building that was in front of the separate area at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.
13. Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area with the building and its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
14. Also the width of the front of the temple and that of the separate areas along the east side totaled a hundred cubits.
15. He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court.
16. The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),
17. over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.
18. It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,
19. a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around.
20. From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave.
21. The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other.
22. The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the Lord."
23. The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door.
24. Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.
25. Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside.
26. There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds.
