3:1 And Solomon began to build the house of
Yehovah in Jerusalem in the mount of Amoria, where Yehovah appeared to his
father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing-floor
of Orna the Jebusite.
3:2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his
reign.
3:3 And thus Solomon began to build the house of Elohim: the length in cubits--
even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the
breadth twenty cubits.
3:4 And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the
breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and
twenty cubits: and he gilded it within with pure gold.
3:5 And he lined the great house with cedar wood, and gilded it with pure
gold, and carved upon it palm-trees and chains.
3:6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; and he
gilded it with gold of the gold from Pharuim.
3:7 And he gilded the house, and its [inner] walls, and the door-posts, and
the roofs, and the doors with gold; and he carved cherubs on the walls.
3:8 And he built the holy of holies, its length was according to te front
[of the other house], the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the
length twenty cubits: and he gilded [it] with pure gold for cherubs, to [the
amount of] six hundred talents.
3:9 And the weight of the nails, [even] the weight of each was fifty shekels
of gold: and he gilded the upper chamber with gold.
3:10 And he made two cherubs in the most holy house, wood-work, and he
gilded them with gold.
3:11 And the wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits in length: and one wing
of five cubits touched the wall of the house: and the other wing of five
cubits touched the wing of the other cherub.
3:12
3:13 And the wings of these cherubs expanded were of the length of twenty
cubits: and they stood upon their feet, and their faces were toward the
house.
3:14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
and wove cherubs in it.
3:15 Also he made in front of the house two pillars, in height thirty-five
cubits, and their chapters of five cubits.
3:16 And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of
the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
3:17 And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand
and the other on the left: and he called the name of the one on the right
hand 'Stability,' and the name of the one on the left 'Strength.' |
3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of
Yehovah at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where Yehovah appeared unto David
his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of
Ornan the Jebusite.
3:2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the
fourth year of his reign.
3:3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building
of the house of Elohim. The length by cubits after the first measure was
threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
3:4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was
according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an
hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
3:5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with
fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
3:6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold
was gold of Parvaim.
3:7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof,
and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls.
3:8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the
breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits:
and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
3:9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid
the upper chambers with gold.
3:10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and
overlaid them with gold.
3:11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of the
one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other
wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
3:12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall
of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing
of the other cherub.
3:13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and
they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
3:14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen,
and wrought cherubim thereon.
3:15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits
high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
3:16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the
pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
3:17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand,
and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand
Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. |
