Context
41:5 Then he measured the wall of the temple as 10½ feet , and the width of the side chambers as 7 feet , all around the temple .
41:6 The side chambers were in three stories , one above the other, thirty in each story. There were offsets in the wall all around to serve as supports for the side chambers , so that the supports were not in the wall of the temple .
41:7 The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story ; for the structure surrounding the temple went up story by story all around the temple . For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up , and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story .
41:8 I saw that the temple had a raised platform all around ; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick of 10½ feet high .
41:9 The width of the outer wall of the side chambers was 8¾ feet , and the open area between the side chambers of the temple
41:10 and the chambers of the court was 35 feet in width all around the temple on every side .
41:11 There were entrances from the side chambers toward the open area, one entrance toward the north , and another entrance toward the south ; the width of the open area was 8¾ feet all around .
41:12 The building that was facing the temple courtyard at the west side was 122½ feet wide ; the wall of the building was 8¾ feet all around , and its length 157½ feet .
41:13 Then he measured the temple as 175 feet long , the courtyard of the temple and the building and its walls as 175 feet long ,
41:14 and also the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard on the east as 175 feet .
41:15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, with its galleries on either side as 175 feet . The interior of the outer sanctuary and the porch of the court ,
41:16 as well as the thresholds , narrow windows and galleries all around on three sides facing the threshold were paneled with wood all around , from the ground up to the windows (now the windows were covered ),
41:17 to the space above the entrance , to the inner room , and on the outside , and on all the walls in the inner room and outside , by measurement .
41:18 It was made with cherubim and decorative palm trees , with a palm tree between each cherub . Each cherub had two faces :
41:19 a human face toward the palm tree on one side and a lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side . They were carved on the whole temple all around ;
41:20 from the ground to the area above the entrance , cherubim and decorative palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary .
41:21 The doorposts of the outer sanctuary were square . In front of the sanctuary one doorpost looked just like the other.
41:22 The altar was of wood , 5¼ feet high , with its length 3½ feet ; its corners , its length , and its walls were of wood . He said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord .”
41:23 The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door .
41:24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves ; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other .
41:25 On the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees , like those carved on the walls , and there was a canopy of wood on the front of the outside porch .
41:26 There were narrow windows and decorative palm trees on either side of the side walls of the porch ; this is what the side chambers of the temple and the canopies were like.
