1 Kings 7:6-15

6Then he madeH6213 1the hallH197 of pillarsH5982; its lengthH753 was 2fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 and its widthH7341 thirtyH7970 cubitsH520, and a porchH197 was in frontH6440 of them and pillarsH5982 and a 3thresholdH5646 in frontH6440 of them.

7And he madeH6213 the hallH197 of the 4throneH3678 whereH834H8033 he was to judgeH8199, the hallH197 of judgmentH4941, and 5it was paneledH5603 with cedarH730 from floorH7172 to floorH7172.

8And his houseH1004 whereH834H8033 he was to liveH3427, the otherH312 courtyardH2691 inwardH4480H1004 from the hallH197, was of thisH2088 same workmanshipH4639. 6He also madeH6213 a houseH1004 like thisH2088 hallH197 for Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, 7whomH834 SolomonH8010 had marriedH3947.

9AllH3605 of theseH428 were made of valuableH3368 stonesH68, of stoneH1496 cutH1496 according to measureH4060, sawedH1641 with sawsH4050, insideH4480H1004 and outsideH4480H2351; even from the foundationH4527 to the 8copingH2947, and from the outsideH2351 to the largeH1419 courtyardH2691.

10And the foundationH3245 was of valuableH3368 stonesH68, largeH1419 stonesH68, stonesH68 of 9tenH6235 cubitsH520 and stonesH68 of eightH8083 cubitsH520. 11And aboveH4480H4605 were valuableH3368 stonesH68, cutH1496 according to measureH4060, and cedarH730. 12So 10the largeH1419 courtyardH2691 allH5439 aroundH5439 had threeH7969 rowsH2905 of cutH1496 stoneH1496 and a rowH2905 of cedarH730 beamsH3773 as well as the innerH6442 courtyardH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and 11the porchH197 of the houseH1004.

13Now 12KingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 word and had HiramH2438 broughtH3947 from TyreH6865. 1413He was a widow’sH490 sonH1121 from the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, an artisanH2790 in bronzeH5178; and 14he was filledH4390 with wisdomH2451, skillH8394, and knowledgeH1847 for doingH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 in bronzeH5178. So he cameH935 to KingH4428 SolomonH8010 and 15performedH6213 allH3605 his workH4399.

15He fashionedH6696 16the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of bronzeH5178; 1718eighteenH8083H6240 cubitsH520 was the heightH6967 of 19eachH259 pillarH5982, and a lineH2339 of 20twelveH8147H6240 cubitsH520 21measuredH5437 theH5437 circumferenceH5437 of bothH8147.
