1
But Solomon[H8010] was building[H1129] his own house[H1004]thirteen[H7969]years[H8141], and he finished[H3615] all his house[H1004].
2
He built[H1129] also the house[H1004] of the forest[H3293] of Lebanon[H3844]; the length[H753] thereof was an hundred[H3967]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341] thereof fifty[H2572]cubits[H520], and the height[H6967] thereof thirty[H7970]cubits[H520], upon four[H702]rows[H2905] of cedar[H730]pillars[H5982], with cedar[H730]beams[H3773] upon the pillars[H5982].
3
And it was covered[H5603] with cedar[H730]above[H4605] upon the beams[H6763], that lay on forty[H705]five[H2568]pillars[H5982], fifteen[H6240] in a row[H2905].
4
And there were windows[H8261] in three[H7969]rows[H2905], and light[H4237] was against light[H4237] in three[H7969]ranks[H6471].
5
And all the doors[H6607] and posts[H4201] were square[H7251], with the windows[H8260]: and light[H4237] was against[H4136]light[H4237] in three[H7969]ranks[H6471].
6
And he made[H6213] a porch[H197] of pillars[H5982]; the length[H753] thereof was fifty[H2572]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341] thereof thirty[H7970]cubits[H520]: and the porch[H197] was before[H6440] them: and the other pillars[H5982] and the thick beam[H5646] were before[H6440] them.
7
Then he made[H6213] a porch[H197] for the throne[H3678] where he might judge[H8199], even the porch[H197] of judgment[H4941]: and it was covered[H5603] with cedar[H730] from one side of the floor[H7172] to the other[H7172].
8
And his house[H1004] where he dwelt[H3427] had another[H312]court[H2691]within[H1004] the porch[H197], which was of the like work[H4639]. Solomon[H8010]made[H6213] also an house[H1004] for Pharaoh's daughter[H1323], whom he had taken[H3947] to wife, like unto this porch[H197].
9
All these were of costly[H3368]stones[H68], according to the measures[H4060] of hewed stones[H1496], sawed[H1641] with saws[H4050], within[H1004] and without[H2351], even from the foundation[H4527] unto the coping[H2947], and so on the outside[H2351] toward the great[H1419]court[H2691].
10
And the foundation[H3245] was of costly[H3368]stones[H68], even great[H1419]stones[H68], stones[H68] of ten[H6235]cubits[H520], and stones[H68] of eight[H8083]cubits[H520].
11
And above[H4605] were costly[H3368]stones[H68], after the measures[H4060] of hewed stones[H1496], and cedars[H730].
12
And the great[H1419]court[H2691] round about[H5439] was with three[H7969]rows[H2905] of hewed stones[H1496], and a row[H2905] of cedar[H730]beams[H3773], both for the inner[H6442]court[H2691] of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068], and for the porch[H197] of the house[H1004].
13
And king[H4428]Solomon[H8010]sent[H7971] and fetched[H3947]Hiram[H2438] out of Tyre[H6865].
14
He was a widow's son[H1121] of the tribe[H4294] of Naphtali[H5321], and his father[H1] was a man[H376] of Tyre[H6876], a worker[H2790] in brass[H5178]: and he was filled[H4390] with wisdom[H2451], and understanding[H8394], and cunning[H1847] to work[H6213] all works[H4399] in brass[H5178]. And he came[H935] to king[H4428]Solomon[H8010], and wrought[H6213] all his work[H4399].
15
For he cast[H6696]two[H8147]pillars[H5982] of brass[H5178], of eighteen[H8083]cubits[H520]high[H6967]apiece[H5982]: and a line[H2339] of twelve[H8147]cubits[H520] did compass[H5437]either[H8145] of them about[H5437].
16
And he made[H6213]two[H8147]chapiters[H3805] of molten[H3332]brass[H5178], to set[H5414] upon the tops[H7218] of the pillars[H5982]: the height[H6967] of the one[H259]chapiter[H3805] was five[H2568]cubits[H520], and the height[H6967] of the other[H8145]chapiter[H3805] was five[H2568]cubits[H520]:
17
And nets[H7638] of checker[H7639]work[H4639], and wreaths[H1434] of chain[H8333]work[H4639], for the chapiters[H3805] which were upon the top[H7218] of the pillars[H5982]; seven[H7651] for the one[H259]chapiter[H3805], and seven[H7651] for the other[H8145]chapiter[H3805].
18
And he made[H6213] the pillars[H5982], and two[H8147]rows[H2905] round about[H5439] upon the one[H259]network[H7639], to cover[H3680] the chapiters[H3805] that were upon the top[H7218], with pomegranates[H7416]: and so did[H6213] he for the other[H8145]chapiter[H3805].
19
And the chapiters[H3805] that were upon the top[H7218] of the pillars[H5982] were of lily[H7799]work[H4639] in the porch[H197], four[H702]cubits[H520].
20
And the chapiters[H3805] upon the two[H8147]pillars[H5982] had pomegranates[H7416] also above[H4605], over against[H5980] the belly[H990] which was by[H5676] the network[H7639]: and the pomegranates[H7416] were two[H8147]hundred[H3967] in rows[H2905] round about[H5439] upon the other[H8145]chapiter[H3805].
21
And he set up[H6965] the pillars[H5982] in the porch[H197] of the temple[H1964]: and he set up[H6965] the right[H3233]pillar[H5982], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] thereof Jachin[H3199]: and he set up[H6965] the left[H8042]pillar[H5982], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] thereof Boaz[H1162].
22
And upon the top[H7218] of the pillars[H5982] was lily[H7799]work[H4639]: so was the work[H4399] of the pillars[H5982]finished[H8552].
23
And he made[H6213] a molten[H3332]sea[H3220], ten[H6235]cubits[H520] from the one brim[H8193] to the other[H8193]: it was round[H5696] all about[H5439], and his height[H6967] was five[H2568]cubits[H520]: and a line[H6957] of thirty[H7970]cubits[H520] did compass[H5437] it round[H5696]about[H5439].
24
And under the brim[H8193] of it round about[H5439] there were knops[H6497]compassing[H5437] it, ten[H6235] in a cubit[H520], compassing[H5362] the sea[H3220] round about[H5439]: the knops[H6497] were cast[H3333] in two[H8147]rows[H2905], when it was cast[H3332].
25
It stood[H5975] upon twelve[H8147]oxen[H1241], three[H7969]looking[H6437] toward the north[H6828], and three[H7969]looking[H6437] toward the west[H3220], and three[H7969]looking[H6437] toward the south[H5045], and three[H7969]looking[H6437] toward the east[H4217]: and the sea[H3220] was set above[H4605] upon them, and all their hinder parts[H268] were inward[H1004].
26
And it was an hand breadth[H2947]thick[H5672], and the brim[H8193] thereof was wrought[H4639] like the brim[H8193] of a cup[H3563], with flowers[H6525] of lilies[H7799]: it contained[H3557] two thousand[H505]baths[H1324].
27
And he made[H6213]ten[H6235]bases[H4350] of brass[H5178]; four[H702]cubits[H520] was the length[H753] of one[H259]base[H4350], and four[H702]cubits[H520] the breadth[H7341] thereof, and three[H7969]cubits[H520] the height[H6967] of it.
28
And the work[H4639] of the bases[H4350] was on this manner: they had borders[H4526], and the borders[H4526] were between the ledges[H7948]:
29
And on the borders[H4526] that were between the ledges[H7948] were lions[H738], oxen[H1241], and cherubims[H3742]: and upon the ledges[H7948] there was a base[H3653]above[H4605]: and beneath the lions[H738] and oxen[H1241] were certain additions[H3914] made of thin[H4174]work[H4639].
30
And every[H259]base[H4350] had four[H702]brasen[H5178]wheels[H212], and plates[H5633] of brass[H5178]: and the four[H702]corners[H6471] thereof had undersetters[H3802]: under the laver[H3595] were undersetters[H3802]molten[H3332], at the side[H5676] of every[H376]addition[H3914].
31
And the mouth[H6310] of it within[H1004] the chapiter[H3805] and above[H4605] was a cubit[H520]: but the mouth[H6310] thereof was round[H5696] after the work[H4639] of the base[H3653], a cubit[H520] and an half[H2677]: and also upon the mouth[H6310] of it were gravings[H4734] with their borders[H4526], foursquare[H7251], not round[H5696].
32
And under[H8478] the borders[H4526] were four[H702]wheels[H212]; and the axletrees[H3027] of the wheels[H212] were joined to the base[H4350]: and the height[H6967] of a[H259]wheel[H212] was a[H259]cubit[H520] and half[H2677]a[H259]cubit[H520].
33
And the work[H4639] of the wheels[H212] was like the work[H4639] of a chariot[H4818]wheel[H212]: their axletrees[H3027], and their naves[H1354], and their felloes[H2839], and their spokes[H2840], were all molten[H3332].
34
And there were four[H702]undersetters[H3802] to the four[H702]corners[H6438] of one[H259]base[H4350]: and the undersetters[H3802] were of the very base[H4350] itself.
35
And in the top[H7218] of the base[H4350] was there a round[H5696]compass[H5439] of half[H2677] a cubit[H520]high[H6967]: and on the top[H7218] of the base[H4350] the ledges[H3027] thereof and the borders[H4526] thereof were of the same.
36
For on the plates[H3871] of the ledges[H3027] thereof, and on the borders[H4526] thereof, he graved[H6605]cherubims[H3742], lions[H738], and palm trees[H8561], according to the proportion[H4626] of every one[H376], and additions[H3914] round about[H5439].
37
After this manner he made[H6213] the ten[H6235]bases[H4350]: all of them had one[H259]casting[H4165], one[H259]measure[H4060], and one[H259]size[H7095].
38
Then made[H6213] he ten[H6235]lavers[H3595] of brass[H5178]: one[H259]laver[H3595]contained[H3557]forty[H705]baths[H1324]: and every[H259]laver[H3595] was four[H702]cubits[H520]: and upon every[H259]one[H259] of the ten[H6235]bases[H4350]one[H259]laver[H3595].
39
And he put[H5414]five[H2568]bases[H4350] on the right[H3225]side[H3802] of the house[H1004], and five[H2568] on the left[H8040]side[H3802] of the house[H1004]: and he set[H5414] the sea[H3220] on the right[H3233]side[H3802] of the house[H1004]eastward[H6924] over against[H4136] the south[H5045].
40
And Hiram[H2438]made[H6213] the lavers[H3595], and the shovels[H3257], and the basons[H4219]. So Hiram[H2438]made[H3615] an end of doing[H6213] all the work[H4399] that he made[H3615]king[H4428]Solomon[H8010] for the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068]:
41
The two[H8147]pillars[H5982], and the two[H8147]bowls[H1543] of the chapiters[H3805] that were on the top[H7218] of the two[H8147]pillars[H5982]; and the two[H8147]networks[H7639], to cover[H3680] the two[H8147]bowls[H1543] of the chapiters[H3805] which were upon the top[H7218] of the pillars[H5982];
42
And four[H702]hundred[H3967]pomegranates[H7416] for the two[H8147]networks[H7639], even two[H8147]rows[H2905] of pomegranates[H7416] for one[H259]network[H7639], to cover[H3680] the two[H8147]bowls[H1543] of the chapiters[H3805] that were upon[H6440] the pillars[H5982];
43
And the ten[H6235]bases[H4350], and ten[H6235]lavers[H3595] on the bases[H4350];
44
And one[H259]sea[H3220], and twelve[H8147]oxen[H1241] under the sea[H3220];
45
And the pots[H5518], and the shovels[H3257], and the basons[H4219]: and all these vessels[H3627], which Hiram[H2438]made[H6213] to king[H4428]Solomon[H8010] for the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068], were of bright[H4178]brass[H5178].
46
In the plain[H3603] of Jordan[H3383] did the king[H4428]cast[H3332] them, in the clay[H4568]ground[H127] between Succoth[H5523] and Zarthan[H6891].
47
And Solomon[H8010]left[H3240] all the vessels[H3627] unweighed, because they were exceeding[H3966]many[H7230]: neither was the weight[H4948] of the brass[H5178] found out[H2713].
48
And Solomon[H8010]made[H6213] all the vessels[H3627] that pertained unto the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068]: the altar[H4196] of gold[H2091], and the table[H7979] of gold[H2091], whereupon the shewbread[H3899] was,
49
And the candlesticks[H4501] of pure[H5462]gold[H2091], five[H2568] on the right[H3225] side, and five[H2568] on the left[H8040], before[H6440] the oracle[H1687], with the flowers[H6525], and the lamps[H5216], and the tongs[H4457] of gold[H2091],
50
And the bowls[H5592], and the snuffers[H4212], and the basons[H4219], and the spoons[H3709], and the censers[H4289] of pure[H5462]gold[H2091]; and the hinges[H6596] of gold[H2091], both for the doors[H1817] of the inner[H6442]house[H1004], the most[H6944]holy[H6944] place, and for the doors[H1817] of the house[H1004], to wit, of the temple[H1964].
51
So was ended[H7999] all the work[H4399] that king[H4428]Solomon[H8010]made[H6213] for the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068]. And Solomon[H8010] brought in[H935] the things which David[H1732] his father[H1] had dedicated[H6944]; even the silver[H3701], and the gold[H2091], and the vessels[H3627], did he put[H5414] among the treasures[H214] of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068].
