And it cameH1961 to pass in the fourH702 hundredH3967 and eightiethH8084 yearH8141 after the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were comeH3318 out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of Solomon'sH8010 reignH4427 overH5921 Israel,H3478 in the monthH2320 Zif,H2099 whichH1931 is the secondH8145 month,H2320 that he began to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068
2
And the houseH1004 whichH834 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for the LORD,H3068 the lengthH753 thereof was three scoreH8346 cubits,H520 and the breadthH7341 thereof twentyH6242 cubits, and the heightH6967 thereof thirtyH7970 cubits.H520
3
And the porchH197 beforeH5921 H6440 the templeH1964 of the house,H1004 twentyH6242 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 thereof, accordingH5921 H6440 to the breadthH7341 of the house;H1004 and tenH6235 cubitsH520 was the breadthH7341 thereof beforeH5921 H6440 the house.H1004
4
And for the houseH1004 he madeH6213 windowsH2474 of narrowH331 lights.H8261
5
And againstH5921 the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 chambersH3326 roundH5439 about, against the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH5439 about, both of the templeH1964 and of the oracle:H1687 and he madeH6213 chambersH6763 roundH5439 about:
6
The nethermostH8481 chamberH3326 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broad,H7341 and the middleH8484 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 broad,H7341 and the thirdH7992 was sevenH7651 cubitsH520 broad:H7341 for withoutH2351 in the wall of the houseH1004 he madeH5414 narrowedH4052 rests roundH5439 about, that the beams should not be fastenedH270 in the wallsH7023 of the house.H1004
7
And the house,H1004 when it was in building,H1129 was builtH1129 of stoneH68 made readyH8003 beforeH4551 it was broughtH4551 thither: so that there was neitherH3808 hammerH4717 nor axH1631 nor anyH3605 toolH3627 of ironH1270 heardH8085 in the house,H1004 while it was in building.H1129
8
The doorH6607 for the middleH8484 chamberH6763 was in the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the house:H1004 and they wentH5927 up with windingH3883 stairsH3883 intoH5921 the middleH8484 chamber, and out of the middleH8484 intoH413 the third.H7992
9
So he builtH1129 the house,H1004 and finishedH3615 it; and coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beamsH1356 and boardsH7713 of cedar.H730
10
And then he builtH1129 chambersH3326 againstH5921 allH3605 the house,H1004 fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high:H6967 and they restedH270 on the houseH1004 with timberH6086 of cedar.H730
11
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to Solomon,H8010 saying,H559
12
Concerning thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 you are in building,H1129 ifH518 you will walkH3212 in my statutes,H2708 and executeH6213 my judgments,H4941 and keepH8104 allH3605 my commandmentsH4687 to walkH3212 in them; then will I performH6965 my wordH1697 with you, whichH834 I spokeH1696 to DavidH1732 your father:H1
13
And I will dwellH7931 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 and will not forsakeH5800 my peopleH5971 Israel.H3478
14
So SolomonH8010 builtH1129 the house,H1004 and finishedH3615 it.
15
And he builtH1129 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 withinH1004 with boardsH6763 of cedar,H730 both the floorH7172 of the house,H1004 and the wallsH7023 of the ceiling:H5604 and he coveredH6823 them on the insideH1004 with wood,H6086 and coveredH6823 the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with planksH6763 of fir.H1265
16
And he builtH1129 twentyH6242 cubitsH520 on the sidesH3411 of the house,H1004 both the floorH7172 and the wallsH7023 with boardsH6763 of cedar:H730 he even builtH1129 them for it within,H1004 even for the oracle,H1687 even for the mostH6944 holyH6944 place.
17
And the house,H1004 that is, the templeH1964 beforeH3942 it, was fortyH705 cubitsH520 long.
18
And the cedarH730 of the houseH1004 withinH6441 was carvedH4734 with knopsH6497 and openH6358 flowers:H6731 allH3605 was cedar;H730 there was noH369 stoneH68 seen.H7200
19
And the oracleH1687 he preparedH3559 in the houseH1004 within,H6441 to setH5414 thereH8033 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORD.H3068
20
And the oracleH1687 in the forepartH6440 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in length,H753 and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in breadth,H7341 and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in the heightH6967 thereof: and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5462 gold;H2091 and so coveredH6823 the altarH4196 which was of cedar.H730
21
So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the houseH1004 withinH6441 with pureH5462 gold:H2091 and he made a partitionH5674 by the chainsH7569 of goldH2091 beforeH6440 the oracle;H1687 and he overlaidH6823 it with gold.H2091
22
And the wholeH3605 houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with gold,H2091 untilH5704 he had finishedH8552 allH3605 the house:H1004 also the wholeH3605 altarH4196 that was by the oracleH1687 he overlaidH6823 with gold.H2091
23
And within the oracleH1687 he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of oliveH8081 tree,H6086 each tenH6235 cubitsH520 high.H6967
24
And fiveH2568 cubitsH520 was the oneH259 wingH3671 of the cherub,H3742 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 the otherH8145 wingH3671 of the cherub:H3742 from the uttermostH7098 part of the one wingH3671 to the uttermostH7098 part of the otherH3671 were tenH6235 cubits.H520
25
And the otherH8145 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubits:H520 bothH8147 the cherubimH3742 were of oneH259 measureH4060 and oneH259 size.H7095
26
The heightH6967 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubits,H520 and soH3651 was it of the otherH8145 cherub.H3742
27
And he setH5414 the cherubimH3742 withinH8432 the innerH6442 house:H1004 and they stretchedH6566 forth the wingsH3671 of the cherubim,H3742 so that the wingH3671 of the oneH259 touchedH5060 the one wall,H7023 and the wingH3671 of the otherH8145 cherubH3742 touchedH5060 the otherH8145 wall;H7023 and their wingsH3671 touchedH5060 oneH3671 anotherH3671 in the middleH8432 of the house.H1004
28
And he overlaidH6823 the cherubimH3742 with gold.H2091
29
And he carvedH7049 allH3605 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH4524 aboutH4524 with carvedH6603 figuresH4734 of cherubimH3742 and palmH8561 trees and openH6358 flowers,H6731 withinH6441 and without.H2435
30
And the floorsH7172 of the houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with gold,H2091 withinH6441 and without.H2435
31
And for the enteringH6607 of the oracleH1687 he madeH6213 doorsH1817 of oliveH8081 tree:H6086 the lintelH352 and side postsH4201 were a fifthH2549 part of the wall.
32
The twoH8147 doorsH1817 also were of oliveH8081 tree;H6086 and he carvedH7049 on them carvingsH4734 of cherubimH3742 and palmH8561 trees and openH6358 flowers,H6731 and overlaidH6823 them with gold,H2091 and spreadH7286 goldH2091 on the cherubim,H3742 and on the palmH8561 trees.
33
SoH3651 also madeH6213 he for the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 postsH4201 of oliveH8081 tree,H6086 a fourthH7243 part of the wall.
34
And the twoH8147 doorsH1817 were of firH1265 tree:H6086 the twoH8147 leavesH6763 of the oneH259 doorH1817 were folding,H1550 and the twoH8147 leavesH7050 of the otherH8145 doorH1817 were folding.H1550
35
And he carvedH7049 thereon cherubimH3742 and palmH8561 trees and openH6358 flowers:H6731 and coveredH6823 them with goldH2091 fittedH3474 on the carvedH2707 work.
36
And he builtH1129 the innerH6442 courtH2691 with threeH7969 rowsH2905 of hewedH1496 stone,H1496 and a rowH2905 of cedarH730 beams.H3773
37
In the fourthH7243 yearH8141 was the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 laid,H7901 in the monthH3391 Zif:H2099
38
And in the eleventhH259 H6240 year,H8141 in the monthH3391 Bul,H945 whichH1931 is the eighthH8066 month,H2320 was the houseH1004 finishedH3615 throughout allH3605 the partsH1697 thereof, and according to allH3605 the fashionH4941 of it. So was he sevenH7651 yearsH8141 in buildingH1129 it.
