1And SolomonH8010 beganH2490 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah at JerusalemH3389 on mount MoriahH4179, whereH834 he appearedH7200 to DavidH1732 his fatherH1, in the placeH4725 that DavidH1732 had preparedH3559 in the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 2And he beganH2490 to buildH1129 on the secondH8145 of the secondH8145 monthH2320, in the fourth yearH8141 of his reignH4438. 3And this was Solomon's foundation for the construction of the houseH1004 of 1GodH430. The lengthH753 by cubitsH520 after the firstH7223 measure was sixtyH8346 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 twentyH6242 cubitsH520. 4And the porchH197 which was in front was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, in front of the houseH1004 broadways, and the heightH1363 was a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242; and he overlaidH6823 it within with pureH2889 goldH2091. 5And the greaterH1419 houseH1004 he boarded with cypress-wood, which he overlaid with fine goldH2091, and set on it palm-trees and chainsH8333. 6And he overlaidH6823 the houseH1004 with preciousH3368 stonesH68 for beautyH8597; and the goldH2091 was goldH2091 of Parvaim. 7And he coveredH2645 the houseH1004, the beamsH6982, the threshold, and its wallsH7023, and its doorsH1817 with goldH2091, and engravedH6605 cherubimH3742 on the wallsH7023. 8And he madeH6213 the houseH1004 of the most holyH6944 placeH6944, the lengthH753 of which was according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004, twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and its breadthH7341 twentyH6242 cubitsH520; and he coveredH2645 it with fine goldH2091, amounting to sixH8337 hundredH3967 talentsH3603. 9And the weightH4948 of the nailsH4548 was fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091. And he coveredH2645 the upperH5944 chambersH5944 with goldH2091. 10And in the houseH1004 of the most holyH6944 placeH6944 he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of image workH4639, and they overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091. 11And the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 were twentyH6242 cubitsH520 long: oneH259 wingH3671 of fiveH2568 cubitsH520 touchedH5060 the wallH7023 of the houseH1004; and the otherH312 wingH3671 of fiveH2568 cubitsH520 touchedH5060 the wingH3671 of the otherH312 cherubH3742. 12And the wingH3671 of the otherH312 cherubH3742 of fiveH2568 cubitsH520 touchedH5060 the wallH7023 of the houseH1004; and the otherH312 wingH3671 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 joining the wingH3671 of the otherH312 cherubH3742. 13The wingsH3671 of these cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 forth were 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 byssus, and madeH6213 cherubimH3742 upon it. 15And before the houseH1004 he madeH6213 twoH8147 pillarsH5982 thirty-five cubitsH520 long; and the capital that was on the topH7218 of each of them was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. 16And he madeH6213 chainsH8333 [as] in the oracle, and he putH5414 them on the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; and he madeH6213 a hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416, and putH5414 them on the chainsH8333. 17And he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 in front of the templeH1964, oneH259 on the rightH3225 handH3225 and the other on the left; and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that on the rightH3225 Jachin, and the nameH8034 of that on the left BoazH1162.
