[ edit] And he ledde me yn, into þe temple; and he meet þe frountis, ſixe cubitis of breede on þis ſyde, and ſixe cubitis of breede on þat ſyde, þe breede of þe tabernacle. And þe breede of þe ȝate was of ten cubitis; and þe ſydis of þe ȝate, by fyue cubitis on þis ſyde, and by fyue cubitis on þat ſyde; and he matte þe lengþe þerof of fourty cubitis, and þe breede of twenti cubitis. And he gon yn wiþ ynneforþ, matte in frount of þe ȝate two cubitis, and þe ȝate of ſixe cubitis, and þe breede of þe ȝate of ſeuen cubitis. And he matte þe lengþe þerof of twenti cubitis, and þe breede of twenti cubitis, byfore þe face of þe temple. And he ſayde to me, Þis is þe holy of halewis.

And he matte þe wall of þe hous of ſixe cubitis, and þe breede of þe ſyde of foure cubitis, on eche ſyde bi cumpas of þe hous. Þe ſydis forſoþe, ſyde to ſyde, twyſe þree and þritti; and þei weren ſhewynge, or aboue ſemynge, þat entriden bi þe wall of þe hous, in þe ſydis bi cumpas, þat þei ſhulden holde to gydre, and not touche þe wall of þe temple. And þe ſtreet was in to round, ſtyinge vpward bi þe heeȝ toure, and in to ſoupyng place of þe temple it bare forþ bi cumpas; þerfore þe temple was brodder in þe ouermore þingus; and ſo fro þe lower parties me ſtied to þe heeȝer, and þe mydil.

And I ſeeȝ in þe hous heeȝneſſe bi cumpas, þe ſydis foundid at þe meſure of a ȝerd in ſpace of ſixe cubitis; and þe breede by þe wall of þe ſyde wiþ outforþ, of fyue cubitis; and þe ynner hous was in þe ſydis of þe hous. And bytwix treſories þe breede of twentye cubitis in cumpas of þe hous on eche ſyde, and þe dore of þe ſyde to preyer; oo dore to þe waye of þe norþ, and oo dore to þe ſouþ waye; and þe breede of place to preyer, of fyue cubitis in cumpas. And þe beeldyng þat was departid, and turnyd to þe waye biholdynge to þe ſee, of þe breede of ſeuenty cubitis; forſoþe þe wall of beeldyng of fyue cubitis of breed in cumpas, and þe lengþe þerof of nyntye cubitis.

And he matte þe lengþe of þe hous, of an hundrid cubitis; and þe byldyng þat was departid, and þe wallis þerof, of lengþe of an hundrid cubitis. Forſoþe þe breede byfore þe face of þe hous, and of it þat was departid aȝeinus þe eeſt, of an hundrid cubitis.

And he matte þe lengþe of þe beeldyng aȝeinus þe face þerof, þat was departid at þe bac; ſolers on eche ſyde of an hundrid cubitis, and þe temple wiþ ynforþ, and porchis of þe hous, þresfoldis, and wyndowis ouerþwert; ſolers in cumpas by þree parties, aȝeinus þe þreſhfold of eche, and diȝte wiþ tree by cumpas in enuyroune; forſoþe erþe til to þe wyndowis, and wyndowis cloſiden þe doris, vnto þe ynner hous, and wiþ out forþ, by eche wall in cumpas, wiþ ynneforþ and wiþ outforþ at meſure. And cherubyns forged, and palmes, and a palme bitwix cherub and cherub; and cherub hadde two faces, a face of man byſijdis þe palme of þis ſyde, and a face of lyoun byſydis a palme expreſſid on þe toþer ſyde.

By all þe hous in cumpas, fro þe erþe vnto þe ouermer part, cherubyns and palmes weren graued in þe wall of þe temple. Þe þresfold foure cornerd; and þe face of þe byholdyng of þe ſayntuarye aȝenus þe biholdyng of þe treenen auter; þe heiȝt of it of þree cubitis, and þe lengþe þerof two cubitis; and þe corners þerof, and lengþe þerof, and wallis þerof, treenen. And he ſpac to me, Þis is þe bord byfore þe Lord. And two doris weren in þe temple, and in þe ſayntuarie. And in þe two doris on eche ſijde weren two ſmale doris, þat weren folden in hem ſelf to gydre; forſoþe two doris weren on eche ſyde of þe doris.

And grauen weren in þe ylk doris of þe temple cherubyns and grauyng of palmes, as and in þe wallis þei weren expreſſid. Wherfore and gretter trees weren in þe frount of þe porche wiþ outforþ, on whiche þe ouerþwert wyndowis, and lickeneſſe of palmes, on þis ſyde and þat ſyde; in þe litil ſhuldris of þe porche, after þe ſydis of þe hous, and breede of wallis.
