2 Chronicles 3

1Then SolomonH8010 beganH2490 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah at JerusalemH3389 on mount MoriahH4179, whereH834JehovahappearedH7200 unto DavidH1732 his fatherH1, which he made ready in the placeH4725 that DavidH1732 had appointedH3559, in the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 2And he beganH2490 to buildH1129 in the secondH8145 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320, in the fourth yearH8141 of his reignH4438. 3Now these are the foundations which SolomonH8010 laid for the buildingH1129 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. The lengthH753 by cubitsH520 after the firstH7223 measure was threescore cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 twentyH6242 cubitsH520. 4And the porchH197 that was before the houseH1004, the lengthH753 of it, according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004, was twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the heightH1363 a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242; and he overlaidH6823 it within with pureH2889 goldH2091. 5And the greaterH1419 houseH1004 he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine goldH2091, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chainsH8333. 6And he garnished the houseH1004 with preciousH3368 stonesH68 for beautyH8597: and the goldH2091 was goldH2091 of Parvaim. 7He overlaid also the houseH1004, the beamsH6982, the thresholdsH5592, and the wallsH7023 thereof, and the doorsH1817 thereof, with goldH2091; and graved cherubimH3742 on the wallsH7023.

8And he madeH6213 the most holyH6944 houseH1004: the lengthH753 thereof, according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004, was twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof twentyH6242 cubitsH520; and he overlaid it with fine goldH2091, amounting to sixH8337 hundredH3967 talentsH3603. 9And the weightH4948 of the nailsH4548 was fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091. And he overlaid the upperH5944 chambersH5944 with goldH2091.

10And in the most holyH6944 houseH1004 he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of image workH4639; and they overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091. 11And the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 were twentyH6242 cubitsH520 long: the wingH3671 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, reachingH5060 to the wallH7023 of the houseH1004; and the otherH312 wingH3671 was likewise fiveH2568 cubitsH520, reachingH5060 to the wingH3671 of the otherH312 cherubH3742. 12And the wingH3671 of the otherH312 cherubH3742 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, reachingH5060 to the wallH7023 of the houseH1004; and the otherH312 wingH3671 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 also, joining to the wingH3671 of the otherH312 cherubH3742. 13The wingsH3671 of these cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 themselves forth twentyH6242 cubitsH520: and they stoodH5975 on their feetH7272, and their facesH6440 were toward the houseH1004. 14And he madeH6213 the veil of blueH8504, and purpleH713, and crimsonH3758, and fineH948 linenH948, and wrought cherubimH3742 thereon.

15Also he madeH6213 before the houseH1004 twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high, and the capital that was on the topH7218 of each of them was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. 16And he madeH6213 chainsH8333 in the oracle, and putH5414 them on the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982; and he madeH6213 a hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416, and putH5414 them on the chainsH8333. 17And he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 before the templeH1964, oneH259 on the rightH3225 handH3225, and the other on the left; and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that on the rightH3225 handH3225 Jachin, and the nameH8034 of that on the left BoazH1162.
