041:021 As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face
of the sanctuary, the appearance [of it] was as the appearance
[of the temple].
041:022 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length of it
two cubits; and the corners of it, and the length of it,
and the walls of it, were of wood: and he said to me,
This is the table that is before Yahweh.
041:023 The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
041:024 The doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves:
two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
041:025 There were made on them, on the doors of the temple,
cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls;
and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.
041:026 There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side
and on the other side, on the sides of the porch:
thus were the side chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
042:001 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward
the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was
over against the separate place, and which was over against
the building toward the north.
042:002 Before the length of one hundred cubits was the north door,
and the breadth was fifty cubits.
042:003 Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court,
and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court,
was gallery against gallery in the third story.
042:004 Before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward,
a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
042:005 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took
away from these, more than from the lower and the middle,
in the building.
042:006 For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars
as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was
straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
042:007 The wall that was outside by the side of the chambers,
toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it
was fifty cubits.
042:008 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court
was fifty cubits: and behold, before the temple were
one hundred cubits.
042:009 From under these chambers was the entry on the east side,
as one goes into them from the outer court.
042:010 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east,
before the separate place, and before the building,
there were chambers.
042:011 The way before them was like the appearance of [the way of]
the chambers which were toward the north; according to their
