1And it came to pass in the four702 hundred3967 8141 and eightieth8084 year8141 after the children1121 of Israel3478 were come out3318 of the land776 of Egypt4714, in the fourth7243 year8141 of Solomon's8010 reign4427 over Israel3478, in the month2320 Zif2099, which is the second8145 month2320, that he began to build1129 the house1004 of the LORD3068.
2And the house1004 which king4428 Solomon8010 built1129 for the LORD3068, the length753 thereof was threescore8346 cubits520, and the breadth7341 thereof twenty6242 cubits, and the height6967 thereof thirty7970 cubits520.
3And the porch197 before6440 the temple1964 of the house1004, twenty6242 cubits520 was the length753 thereof, according to the breadth7341 of the house1004; and ten6235 cubits520 was the breadth7341 thereof before the house1004.
4And for the house1004 he made6213 windows2474 of narrow331 lights8261.
5And against the wall7023 of the house1004 he built1129 chambers3326 3326 round about5439, against the walls7023 of the house1004 round about5439, both of the temple1964 and of the oracle1687: and he made6213 chambers6763 round about5439:
6The nethermost8481 chamber3326 3326 was five2568 cubits520 broad7341, and the middle8484 was six8337 cubits520 broad7341, and the third7992 was seven7651 cubits520 broad7341: for without in the wall of2351 the house1004 he made5414 narrowed rests4052 round about5439, that the beams should not be fastened270 in the walls7023 of the house1004.
7And the house1004, when it was in building1129, was built1129 of stone68 made ready8003 before it was brought4551 thither: so that there was neither hammer4717 nor axe1631 nor any tool3627 of iron1270 heard8085 in the house1004, while it was in building1129.
8The door6607 for the middle8484 chamber6763 was in the right3233 side3802 of the house1004: and they went up5927 with winding stairs3883 into the middle8484 chamber, and out of the middle8484 into the third7992.
9So he built1129 the house1004, and finished3615 it; and covered5603 the house1004 with beams1356 and boards7713 of cedar730.
10And then he built1129 chambers3326 3326 against all the house1004, five2568 cubits520 high6967: and they rested270 on the house1004 with timber6086 of cedar730.
11And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to Solomon8010, saying559,
12Concerning this house1004 which thou art in building1129, if thou wilt walk3212 in my statutes2708, and execute6213 my judgments4941, and keep8104 all my commandments4687 to walk3212 in them; then will I perform6965 my word1697 with thee, which I spake1696 unto David1732 thy father1:
13And I will dwell7931 among8432 the children1121 of Israel3478, and will not forsake5800 my people5971 Israel3478.
14So Solomon8010 built1129 the house1004, and finished3615 it.
15And he built1129 the walls7023 of the house1004 within1004 with boards6763 of cedar730, both the floor7172 of the house1004, and the walls7023 of the cieling5604: and he covered6823 them on the inside1004 with wood6086, and covered6823 the floor7172 of the house1004 with planks6763 of fir1265.
16And he built1129 twenty6242 cubits520 on the sides3411 of the house1004, both4480 the floor7172 and the walls7023 with boards6763 of cedar730: he even built1129 them for it within1004, even for the oracle1687, even for the most6944 holy6944 place.
17And the house1004, that is, the temple1964 before3942 it, was forty705 cubits520 long.
18And the cedar730 of the house1004 within6441 was carved4734 with knops6497 and open6362 flowers6731: all was cedar730; there was no stone68 seen7200.
19And the oracle1687 he prepared3559 in8432 the house1004 within6441, to set5414 there the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068.
20And the oracle1687 in the forepart6440 was twenty6242 cubits520 in length753, and twenty6242 cubits520 in breadth7341, and twenty6242 cubits520 in the height6967 thereof: and he overlaid6823 it with pure5462 gold2091; and so covered6823 the altar4196 which was of cedar730.
21So Solomon8010 overlaid6823 the house1004 within6441 with pure5462 gold2091: and he made a partition5674 by the chains7572 7572 of gold2091 before6440 the oracle1687; and he overlaid6823 it with gold2091.
22And the whole house1004 he overlaid6823 with gold2091, until he had finished8552 all the house1004: also the whole altar4196 that was by the oracle1687 he overlaid6823 with gold2091.
23And within the oracle1687 he made6213 two8147 cherubims3742 of olive8081 tree6086, each ten6235 cubits520 high6967.
24And five2568 cubits520 was the one259 wing3671 of the cherub3742, and five2568 cubits520 the other8145 wing3671 of the cherub3742: from the uttermost part7098 of the one wing3671 unto the uttermost part7098 of the other3671 were ten6235 cubits520.
25And the other8145 cherub3742 was ten6235 cubits520: both8147 the cherubims3742 were of one259 measure4060 and one259 size7095.
26The height6967 of the one259 cherub3742 was ten6235 cubits520, and so was it of the other8145 cherub3742.
27And he set5414 the cherubims3742 within8432 the inner6442 house1004: and they stretched forth6566 the wings3671 of the cherubims3742, so that the wing3671 of the one259 touched5060 the one wall7023, and the wing3671 of the other8145 cherub3742 touched5060 the other8145 wall7023; and their wings3671 touched5060 one3671 another3671 in the midst8432 of the house1004.
28And he overlaid6823 the cherubims3742 with gold2091.
29And he carved7049 all the walls7023 of the house1004 round about4524 with carved6603 figures4734 of cherubims3742 and palm trees8561 and open6362 flowers6731, within6441 and without2435.
30And the floor7172 of the house1004 he overlaid6823 with gold2091, within6441 and without2435.
31And for the entering6607 of the oracle1687 he made6213 doors1817 of olive8081 tree6086: the lintel352 and side posts4201 were a fifth part2549 of the wall.
32The two8147 doors1817 also were of olive8081 tree6086; and he carved7049 upon them carvings4734 of cherubims3742 and palm trees8561 and open6362 flowers6731, and overlaid6823 them with gold2091, and spread7286 gold2091 upon the cherubims3742, and upon the palm trees8561.
33So also made6213 he for the door6607 of the temple1964 posts4201 of olive8081 tree6086, a fourth part7243 of the wall.
34And the two8147 doors1817 were of fir1265 tree6086: the two8147 leaves6763 of the one259 door1817 were folding1550, and the two8147 leaves7050 of the other8145 door1817 were folding1550.
35And he carved7049 thereon cherubims3742 and palm trees8561 and open6362 flowers6731: and covered6823 them with gold2091 fitted3474 upon the carved work2707.
36And he built1129 the inner6442 court2691 with three7969 rows2905 of hewed stone1496, and a row2905 of cedar730 beams3773.
37In the fourth7243 year8141 was the foundation3245 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 laid3245, in the month3391 Zif2099:
38And in the eleventh259 6240 year8141, in the month3391 Bul945, which is the eighth8066 month2320, was the house1004 finished3615 throughout all the parts1697 thereof, and according to all the fashion4941 of it. So was he seven7651 years8141 in building1129 it.
