1. And it came to pass in the four[H702] hundred[H3967] and eightieth[H8084] year[H8141] after the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] were come out[H3318] of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], in the fourth[H7243] year[H8141] of Solomon[H8010]'s reign[H4427] over Israel[H3478], in the month[H2320] Ziv[H2099], which is the second[H8145] month[H2320], that he began to build[H1129] the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068].

2. And the house[H1004] which king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] built[H1129] for Jehovah[H3068], the length[H753] thereof was threescore[H8346] cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341] thereof twenty[H6242] cubits[H6967], and the height thereof thirty[H7970] cubits[H520].

3. And the porch[H197] before[H6440] the temple[H1964] of the house[H1004], twenty[H6242] cubits[H520] was the length[H753] thereof[H7341], according to the breadth of the house[H1004]; and ten[H6235] cubits[H520] was the breadth[H7341] thereof before the house[H1004].

4. And for the house[H1004] he made[H6213] windows[H2474] of fixed[H331] lattice-work[H8261].

5. And against the wall[H7023] of the house[H1004] he built[H1129] stories[H3326] round about[H5439], against the walls[H7023] of the house[H1004] round about[H5439], both of the temple[H1964] and of the oracle[H1687]; and he made[H6213] side-chambers[H6763] round about[H5439].

6. The nethermost[H8481] story[H3326] was five[H2568] cubits[H520] broad[H7341], and the middle[H8484] was six[H8337] cubits[H520] broad[H7341], and the third[H7992] was seven[H7651] cubits[H520] broad[H7341]; for on the outside he made[H5414] offsets[H4052] in the wall of[H2351] the house[H1004] round about[H5439], that the beams should not have hold[H270] in the walls[H7023] of the house[H1004].

7. And the house[H1004], when it was in building[H1129], was built[H1129] of stone[H68] made ready[H8003] at the quarry[H4551]; and there was neither hammer[H4717] nor axe[H1631] nor any tool[H3627] of iron[H1270] heard[H8085] in the house[H1004], while it was in building[H1129].

8. The door[H6607] for the middle[H8484] side-chambers[H6763] was in the right[H3233] side[H3802] of the house[H1004]: and they went up[H5927] by winding stairs[H3883] into the middle[H8484] story[H8484], and out of the middle into the third[H7992].

9. So he built[H1129] the house[H1004], and finished[H3615] it[H5603]; and he covered the house[H1004] with beams[H1356] and planks[H7713] of cedar[H730].

10. And he built[H1129] the stories[H3326] against all the house[H1004], each five[H2568] cubits[H520] high[H6967]: and they rested[H270] on the house[H1004] with timber[H6086] of cedar[H730].

11. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came to Solomon[H8010], saying[H559],

12. Concerning this house[H1004] which thou art building[H1129], if thou wilt walk[H3212] in my statutes[H2708], and execute[H6213] mine ordinances[H4941], and keep[H8104] all my commandments[H4687] to walk[H3212] in them[H6965]; then will I establish my word[H1697] with thee[H1696], which I spake unto David[H1732] thy father[H1].

13. And I will dwell[H7931] among[H8432] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and will not forsake[H5800] my people[H5971] Israel[H3478].

14. So Solomon[H8010] built[H1129] the house[H1004], and finished it[H3615].

15. And he built[H1129] the walls[H7023] of the house[H1004] within[H1004] with boards[H6763] of cedar[H730]: from the floor[H7172] of the house[H1004] unto the walls[H7023] of the ceiling[H5604], he covered[H6823] them on the inside[H1004] with wood[H6086]; and he covered[H6823] the floor[H7172] of the house[H1004] with boards[H6763] of fir[H1265].

16. And he built[H1129] twenty[H6242] cubits[H520] on the hinder[H3411] part of the house[H1004] with[H4480] boards[H6763] of cedar[H730] from the floor[H7172] unto the walls[H7023] of the ceiling[H1129]: he built them for it within[H1004], for an oracle[H1687], even for the most[H6944] holy place[H6944].

17. And the house[H1004], that is[H1964], the temple before[H3942] the oracle[H705], was forty cubits long[H520].

18. And there was cedar[H730] on the house[H1004] within[H6441], carved[H4734] with knops[H6497] and open[H6362] flowers[H6731]: all was cedar[H730]; there was no stone[H68] seen[H7200].

19. And he prepared[H3559] an oracle[H1687] in[H8432] the midst of the house[H1004] within[H6441], to set[H5414] there the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068].

20. And within[H6440] the oracle[H1687] was a space of twenty[H6242] cubits[H520] in length[H753], and twenty[H6242] cubits[H520] in breadth[H7341], and twenty[H6242] cubits[H520] in the height[H6967] thereof[H6823]; and he overlaid it with pure[H5462] gold[H2091]: and he covered[H6823] the altar[H4196] with cedar[H730].

21. So Solomon[H8010] overlaid[H6823] the house[H1004] within[H6441] with pure[H5462] gold[H2091]: and he drew[H5674] chains[H7572] of gold[H2091] across before[H6440] the oracle[H1687]; and he overlaid[H6823] it with gold[H2091].

22. And the whole house[H1004] he overlaid[H6823] with gold[H2091], until all the house[H1004] was finished[H8552]: also the whole altar[H4196] that belonged to the oracle[H1687] he overlaid[H6823] with gold[H2091].

23. And in the oracle[H1687] he made[H6213] two[H8147] cherubim[H3742] of olive-wood[H8081], [H6086] each ten[H6235] cubits[H520] high[H6967].

24. And five[H2568] cubits[H520] was the one[H259] wing[H3671] of the cherub[H3742], and five[H2568] cubits[H520] the other[H8145] wing[H3671] of the cherub[H3742]: from the uttermost part[H7098] of the one wing[H3671] unto the uttermost part[H7098] of the other[H3671] were ten[H6235] cubits[H520].

25. And the other[H8145] cherub[H3742] was ten[H6235] cubits[H520]: both[H8147] the cherubim[H3742] were of one[H259] measure[H4060] and one[H259] form[H7095].

26. The height[H6967] of the one[H259] cherub[H3742] was ten[H6235] cubits[H520], and so was it of the other[H8145] cherub[H3742].

27. And he set[H5414] the cherubim[H3742] within[H8432] the inner[H6442] house[H1004]; and the wings[H3671] of the cherubim[H3742] were stretched forth[H6566], so that the wing[H3671] of the one[H259] touched[H5060] the one wall[H7023], and the wing[H3671] of the other[H8145] cherub[H3742] touched[H5060] the other[H8145] wall[H7023]; and their wings[H3671] touched[H5060] one[H3671] another[H3671] in the midst[H8432] of the house[H1004].

28. And he overlaid[H6823] the cherubim[H3742] with gold[H2091].

29. And he carved[H7049] all the walls[H7023] of the house[H1004] round about[H4524] with carved[H6603] figures[H4734] of cherubim[H3742] and palm-trees[H8561] and open[H6362] flowers[H6731], within[H6441] and without[H2435].

30. And the floor[H7172] of the house[H1004] he overlaid[H6823] with gold[H2091], within[H6441] and without[H2435].

31. And for the entrance[H6607] of the oracle[H1687] he made[H6213] doors[H1817] of olive-wood[H8081]: [H6086] the lintel[H352] and door-posts[H4201] were a fifth part of the wall[H2549].

32. So he made two[H8147] doors[H1817] of olive-wood[H8081]; [H6086] and he carved[H7049] upon them carvings[H4734] of cherubim[H3742] and palm-trees[H8561] and open[H6362] flowers[H6731], and overlaid[H6823] them with gold[H2091]; and he spread[H7286] the gold[H2091] upon the cherubim[H3742], and upon the palm-trees[H8561].

33. So also made[H6213] he for the entrance[H6607] of the temple[H1964] door-posts[H4201] of olive-wood[H8081], [H6086] out of a fourth part of the wall[H7243];

34. and two[H8147] doors[H1817] of fir-wood[H1265]: [H6086] the two[H8147] leaves[H6763] of the one[H259] door[H1817] were folding[H1550], and the two[H8147] leaves[H7050] of the other[H8145] door[H1817] were folding[H1550].

35. And he carved[H7049] thereon cherubim[H3742] and palm-trees[H8561] and open[H6362] flowers[H6731]; and he overlaid[H6823] them with gold[H2091] fitted[H3474] upon the graven work[H2707].

36. And he built[H1129] the inner[H6442] court[H2691] with three[H7969] courses[H2905] of hewn stone[H1496], and a course[H2905] of cedar[H730] beams[H3773].

37. In the fourth[H7243] year[H8141] was the foundation[H3245] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] laid[H3245], in the month[H3391] Ziv[H2099].

38. And in the eleventh[H259] year[H8141], in the month[H3391] Bul[H945], which is the eighth[H8066] month[H2320], was the house[H1004] finished[H3615] throughout all the parts[H1697] thereof[H4941], and according to all the fashion of it[H7651]. So was he seven years[H8141] in building it[H1129].
