1. After that, the man brought me into the sanctuary of the Temple. He measured the walls on either side of its doorway, and they were 101/2 feet thick.
2. The doorway was 171/2 feet wide, and the walls on each side of it were 83/4 feet long. The sanctuary itself was 70 feet long and 35 feet wide.
3. Then he went beyond the sanctuary into the inner room. He measured the walls on either side of its entrance, and they were 31/2 feet thick. The entrance was 101/2 feet wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were 121/4 feet long.
4. The inner room of the sanctuary was 35 feet long and 35 feet wide. “This,” he told me, “is the Most Holy Place.”
5. Then he measured the wall of the Temple, and it was 101/2 feet thick. There was a row of rooms along the outside wall; each room was 7 feet wide.
6. These side rooms were built in three levels, one above the other, with thirty rooms on each level. The supports for these side rooms rested on exterior ledges on the Temple wall; they did not extend into the wall.
