uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠בָּ֑יִת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,forty by,cubit it_became the,house he/it [is]_the,temple before,,me )

As the author indicates, by the house he means the nave, that is, the rest of the temple, the main room in front of the inner sanctuary. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the rest of the temple]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנָֽ⁠י

before,,me

Here, to the face of it represents being in front of the inner sanctuary. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in front of it]
