1 # And it came to pass in the four <0702> hundred <03967> <08141> and eightieth <08084> year <08141> after the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were come out <03318> (8800) of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, in the fourth <07243> year <08141> of Solomon's <08010> reign <04427> (8800) over Israel <03478>, in the month <02320> Zif <02099> , which is the second <08145> month <02320>, that he began to build <01129> (8799) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> .
2 And the house <01004> which king <04428> Solomon <08010> built <01129> (8804) for the LORD <03068> , the length <0753> thereof was threescore <08346> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> thereof twenty <06242> cubits, and the height <06967> thereof thirty <07970> cubits <0520>.
3 And the porch <0197> before <06440> the temple <01964> of the house <01004>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520> was the length <0753> thereof, according to the breadth <07341> of the house <01004>; and ten <06235> cubits <0520> was the breadth <07341> thereof before the house <01004>.
4 And for the house <01004> he made <06213> (8799) windows <02474> of narrow <0331> (8801) lights <08261>.
5 And against the wall <07023> of the house <01004> he built <01129> (8799) chambers <03326> (8675) <03326> round about <05439>, against the walls <07023> of the house <01004> round about <05439>, both of the temple <01964> and of the oracle <01687>: and he made <06213> (8799) chambers <06763> round about <05439>:
6 The nethermost <08481> chamber <03326> (8675) <03326> was five <02568> cubits <0520> broad <07341>, and the middle <08484> was six <08337> cubits <0520> broad <07341>, and the third <07992> was seven <07651> cubits <0520> broad <07341>: for without in the wall of <02351> the house <01004> he made <05414> (8804) narrowed rests <04052> round about <05439>, that the beams should not be fastened <0270> (8800) in the walls <07023> of the house <01004>.
7 And the house <01004>, when it was in building <01129> (8736), was built <01129> (8738) of stone <068> made ready <08003> before it was brought <04551> thither: so that there was neither hammer <04717> nor axe <01631> nor any tool <03627> of iron <01270> heard <08085> (8738) in the house <01004>, while it was in building <01129> (8736).
8 The door <06607> for the middle <08484> chamber <06763> was in the right <03233> side <03802> of the house <01004>: and they went up <05927> (8799) with winding stairs <03883> into the middle <08484> chamber, and out of the middle <08484> into the third <07992>.
9 So he built <01129> (8799) the house <01004>, and finished <03615> (8762) it; and covered <05603> (8799) the house <01004> with beams <01356> and boards <07713> of cedar <0730>.
10 And then he built <01129> (8799) chambers <03326> (8675) <03326> against all the house <01004> , five <02568> cubits <0520> high <06967>: and they rested <0270> (8799) on the house <01004> with timber <06086> of cedar <0730>.
11 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to Solomon <08010>, saying <0559> (8800),
12 Concerning this house <01004> which thou art in building <01129> (8802), if thou wilt walk <03212> (8799) in my statutes <02708>, and execute <06213> (8799) my judgments <04941>, and keep <08104> (8804) all my commandments <04687> to walk <03212> (8800) in them; then will I perform <06965> (8689) my word <01697> with thee, which I spake <01696> (8765) unto David <01732> thy father <01>:
13 And I will dwell <07931> (8804) among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and will not forsake <05800> (8799) my people <05971> Israel <03478>.
14 So Solomon <08010> built <01129> (8799) the house <01004>, and finished <03615> (8762) it.
15 # And he built <01129> (8799) the walls <07023> of the house <01004> within <01004> with boards <06763> of cedar <0730>, both the floor <07172> of the house <01004>, and the walls <07023> of the cieling <05604>: and he covered <06823> (8765) them on the inside <01004> with wood <06086>, and covered <06823> (8762) the floor <07172> of the house <01004> with planks <06763> of fir <01265>.
16 And he built <01129> (8799) twenty <06242> cubits <0520> on the sides <03411> of the house <01004> , both <04480> the floor <07172> and the walls <07023> with boards <06763> of cedar <0730>: he even built <01129> (8799) them for it within <01004>, even for the oracle <01687>, even for the most <06944> holy <06944> place.
17 And the house <01004>, that is, the temple <01964> before <03942> it, was forty <0705> cubits <0520> long.
18 And the cedar <0730> of the house <01004> within <06441> was carved <04734> with knops <06497> and open <06362> (8803) flowers <06731>: all was cedar <0730>; there was no stone <068> seen <07200> (8738).
19 And the oracle <01687> he prepared <03559> (8689) in <08432> the house <01004> within <06441>, to set <05414> (8800) there the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>.
20 And the oracle <01687> in the forepart <06440> was twenty <06242> cubits <0520> in length <0753>, and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> in breadth <07341>, and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> in the height <06967> thereof: and he overlaid <06823> (8762) it with pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>; and so covered <06823> (8762) the altar <04196> which was of cedar <0730>.
21 So Solomon <08010> overlaid <06823> (8762) the house <01004> within <06441> with pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>: and he made a partition <05674> (8762) by the chains <07572> (8675) <07572> of gold <02091> before <06440> the oracle <01687>; and he overlaid <06823> (8762) it with gold <02091>.
22 And the whole house <01004> he overlaid <06823> (8765) with gold <02091>, until he had finished <08552> (8800) all the house <01004>: also the whole altar <04196> that was by the oracle <01687> he overlaid <06823> (8765) with gold <02091>.
23 And within the oracle <01687> he made <06213> (8799) two <08147> cherubims <03742> of olive <08081> tree <06086>, each ten <06235> cubits <0520> high <06967>.
24 And five <02568> cubits <0520> was the one <0259> wing <03671> of the cherub <03742>, and five <02568> cubits <0520> the other <08145> wing <03671> of the cherub <03742>: from the uttermost part <07098> of the one wing <03671> unto the uttermost part <07098> of the other <03671> were ten <06235> cubits <0520>.
25 And the other <08145> cherub <03742> was ten <06235> cubits <0520>: both <08147> the cherubims <03742> were of one <0259> measure <04060> and one <0259> size <07095>.
26 The height <06967> of the one <0259> cherub <03742> was ten <06235> cubits <0520>, and so was it of the other <08145> cherub <03742>.
27 And he set <05414> (8799) the cherubims <03742> within <08432> the inner <06442> house <01004>: and they stretched forth <06566> (8799) the wings <03671> of the cherubims <03742>, so that the wing <03671> of the one <0259> touched <05060> (8799) the one wall <07023>, and the wing <03671> of the other <08145> cherub <03742> touched <05060> (8802) the other <08145> wall <07023>; and their wings <03671> touched <05060> (8802) one <03671> another <03671> in the midst <08432> of the house <01004>.
28 And he overlaid <06823> (8762) the cherubims <03742> with gold <02091>.
29 And he carved <07049> (8804) all the walls <07023> of the house <01004> round about <04524> with carved <06603> figures <04734> of cherubims <03742> and palm trees <08561> and open <06362> (8803) flowers <06731>, within <06441> and without <02435>.
30 And the floor <07172> of the house <01004> he overlaid <06823> (8765) with gold <02091>, within <06441> and without <02435>.
31 And for the entering <06607> of the oracle <01687> he made <06213> (8804) doors <01817> of olive <08081> tree <06086>: the lintel <0352> and side posts <04201> were a fifth part <02549> of the wall.
32 The two <08147> doors <01817> also were of olive <08081> tree <06086>; and he carved <07049> (8804) upon them carvings <04734> of cherubims <03742> and palm trees <08561> and open <06362> (8803) flowers <06731>, and overlaid <06823> (8765) them with gold <02091>, and spread <07286> (8686) gold <02091> upon the cherubims <03742> , and upon the palm trees <08561>.
33 So also made <06213> (8804) he for the door <06607> of the temple <01964> posts <04201> of olive <08081> tree <06086>, a fourth part <07243> of the wall.
34 And the two <08147> doors <01817> were of fir <01265> tree <06086>: the two <08147> leaves <06763> of the one <0259> door <01817> were folding <01550>, and the two <08147> leaves <07050> of the other <08145> door <01817> were folding <01550>.
35 And he carved <07049> (8804) thereon cherubims <03742> and palm trees <08561> and open <06362> (8803) flowers <06731>: and covered <06823> (8765) them with gold <02091> fitted <03474> (8794) upon the carved work <02707> (8794).
36 And he built <01129> (8799) the inner <06442> court <02691> with three <07969> rows <02905> of hewed stone <01496>, and a row <02905> of cedar <0730> beams <03773>.
37 In the fourth <07243> year <08141> was the foundation <03245> <00> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> laid <03245> (8795), in the month <03391> Zif <02099>:
38 And in the eleventh <0259> <06240> year <08141>, in the month <03391> Bul <0945>, which is the eighth <08066> month <02320>, was the house <01004> finished <03615> (8804) throughout all the parts <01697> thereof, and according to all the fashion <04941> of it. So was he seven <07651> years <08141> in building <01129> (8799) it.
