Then Solomon[H8010]began[H2490] to build[H1129] the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068] at Jerusalem[H3389] in mount[H2022]Moriah[H4179], where the LORD[H3068]appeared[H7200] unto David[H1732] his father[H1], in the place[H4725] that David[H1732] had prepared[H3559] in the threshingfloor[H1637] of Ornan[H771] the Jebusite[H2983].
2
And he began[H2490] to build[H1129] in the second[H8145] day of the second[H8145]month[H2320], in the fourth[H702]year[H8141] of his reign[H4438].
3
Now these are the things wherein Solomon[H8010] was instructed[H3245] for the building[H1129] of the house[H1004] of God[H430]. The length[H753] by cubits[H520] after the first[H7223]measure[H4060] was threescore[H8346]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341]twenty[H6242]cubits[H520].
4
And the porch[H197] that was in the front[H6440] of the house[H1004], the length[H753] of it was according to the breadth[H7341] of the house[H1004], twenty[H6242]cubits[H520], and the height[H1363] was an hundred[H3967] and twenty[H6242]: and he overlaid[H6823] it within[H6441] with pure[H2889]gold[H2091].
5
And the greater[H1419]house[H1004] he cieled[H2645] with fir[H1265]tree[H6086], which he overlaid[H2645] with fine[H2896]gold[H2091], and set[H5927] thereon palm trees[H8561] and chains[H8333].
6
And he garnished[H6823] the house[H1004] with precious[H3368]stones[H68] for beauty[H8597]: and the gold[H2091] was gold[H2091] of Parvaim[H6516].
7
He overlaid[H2645] also the house[H1004], the beams[H6982], the posts[H5592], and the walls[H7023] thereof, and the doors[H1817] thereof, with gold[H2091]; and graved[H6605]cherubims[H3742] on the walls[H7023].
8
And he made[H6213] the most[H6944]holy[H6944]house[H1004], the length[H753] whereof was according to[H6440] the breadth[H7341] of the house[H1004], twenty[H6242]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341] thereof twenty[H6242]cubits[H520]: and he overlaid[H2645] it with fine[H2896]gold[H2091], amounting to[H6440]six[H8337]hundred[H3967]talents[H3603].
9
And the weight[H4948] of the nails[H4548] was fifty[H2572]shekels[H8255] of gold[H2091]. And he overlaid[H2645] the upper chambers[H5944] with gold[H2091].
10
And in the most[H6944]holy[H6944]house[H1004] he made[H6213]two[H8147]cherubims[H3742] of image[H6816]work[H4639], and overlaid[H6823] them with gold[H2091].
11
And the wings[H3671] of the cherubims[H3742] were twenty[H6242]cubits[H520]long[H753]: one[H259]wing[H3671] of the one[H259]cherub[H3742] was five[H2568]cubits[H520], reaching[H5060] to the wall[H7023] of the house[H1004]: and the other[H312]wing[H3671] was likewise five[H2568]cubits[H520], reaching[H5060] to the wing[H3671] of the other[H312]cherub[H3742].
12
And one wing[H3671] of the other[H259]cherub[H3742] was five[H2568]cubits[H520], reaching[H5060] to the wall[H7023] of the house[H1004]: and the other[H312]wing[H3671] was five[H2568]cubits[H520] also, joining[H1695] to the wing[H3671] of the other[H312]cherub[H3742].
13
The wings[H3671] of these cherubims[H3742] spread themselves forth[H6566]twenty[H6242]cubits[H520]: and they stood[H5975] on their feet[H7272], and their faces[H6440] were inward[H1004].
14
And he made[H6213] the vail[H6532] of blue[H8504], and purple[H713], and crimson[H3758], and fine linen[H948], and wrought[H5927]cherubims[H3742] thereon.
15
Also he made[H6213]before[H6440] the house[H1004]two[H8147]pillars[H5982] of thirty[H7970] and five[H2568]cubits[H520]high[H753], and the chapiter[H6858] that was on the top[H7218] of each of them was five[H2568]cubits[H520].
16
And he made[H6213]chains[H8333], as in the oracle[H1687], and put[H5414] them on the heads[H7218] of the pillars[H5982]; and made[H6213] an hundred[H3967]pomegranates[H7416], and put[H5414] them on the chains[H8333].
17
And he reared up[H6965] the pillars[H5982]before[H6440] the temple[H1964], one[H259] on the right hand[H3225], and the other[H259] on the left[H8040]; and called[H7121] the name[H8034] of that on the right hand[H3233]Jachin[H3199], and the name[H8034] of that on the left[H8042]Boaz[H1162].
