| 41:2 | The breadth of the doore was ten cubites, and the sides of the doore were fiue cubites on the one side and fiue cubites on the other syde, and he measured the length therof fourtie cubites, and the breadth twentie cubites |
| 41:3 | Then went he in & measured the front of the doore two cubites: but the doore it selfe was sixe cubites, and the breadth on the other side of the doore was seuen cubites |
| 41:4 | He measured the length therof twentie cubites, and the breadth twentie cubites before the temple. And he said vnto me, This is the most holy [place. |
| 41:5 | He measured also the wall of the house sixe cubites, and the breadth of a chamber foure cubites round about the house on euery side |
| 41:6 | And the chambers were chamber vpon chamber, three and thirtie in order: and they entred the wall whiche was of the house for the chambers rounde about, that they might be fastened, and not be fastened in the wall of the house |
| 41:7 | Ther was an enlarging, and a winding about, mounting still vpwarde to the chabers: for the staire of the house was mounting still vpward round about the house, therfore the house was larger vpwarde: so they went vp from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst |
| 41:8 | And I saw the house hye round about: the foundatios of the chambers were a ful cane of sixe cubites vp to the armeholes |
| 41:9 | The thickenesse of the wall which was for the chamber without was fiue cubites, and that whiche remayned was the place of the chambers that were within |

| 41:16 | The doore postes, and the narow windowes, & the chambers round about, on three sides ouer against the doore, seeled with wood round about, and from the ground vp to the windowes: and the windowes themselues were seeled |
| 41:17 | And from aboue the doore vnto the house within and without, and vpon euery wall rounde about within and without, toke he measure |
| 41:18 | And it was made with Cherubims and paulme trees, so that a paulme tree was betweene a Cherub and a Cherub, and euery Cherub had two faces |
| 41:19 | So that the face of a man was toward the paulme tree on the one side, and the face of a lion towarde the paulme tree on the other side: thus was it made through all the house rounde about |
| 41:20 | From the ground vnto aboue the doore were Cherubims & paulme trees made: and thus was the wall of the temple |
| 41:21 | The postes of the temple were foure squared, and the fashion of the sanctuarie was appearaunce lyke appearaunce |
| 41:22 | The aulter of wood was three cubites hye, and two cubites long: the corners, the length, and the walles thereof were of wood. And he sayd vnto me, This is the table that shalbe before the Lorde |

| 41:24 | And the doores had two doores a peece, euen two folding doores, two for the one doore, and two doores for the other |
| 41:25 | And vpon the doores of the temple, there were made Cherubims & paulme trees, lyke as was made vpon the walles: & thicke beames vpon the forefront of the porche without |
| 41:26 | And there were narow windowes and paulme trees on the one side and on the other side, by the sides of the porche and vpon the sides of the house, and thicke beames |
Bishops Bible 1568
The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
