|

|
|
|

|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where _Yahweh_ had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Then he began to build on the second _day_ in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard _was_ sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
And the porch which was in front of the house was as long as the width of the house, 20 cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Now he overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Further, he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty; and the gold was gold from Parvaim.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
He also covered the house with gold--the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
And he made the room of the Holy of Holies: its length across the width of the house _was_ twenty cubits, and its width _was_ twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, _amounting_ to 600 talents.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Now the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also covered the upper rooms with gold.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
Then in the room of the Holy of Holies he made two cherubim of fashioned work and overlaid them with gold.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Now the wingspan of the cherubim _was_ twenty cubits; the wing of one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and _its_ other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
And the wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and _its_ other wing of five cubits was attached to the wing of the first cherub.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet facing the _main_ room.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
And he made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and he ornamented cherubim on it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
He also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each _was_ five cubits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
And he made chains in the inner sanctuary and put _them_ on the top of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates and put _them_ on the chains.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
Thus he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left, and named the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz.
