Then Solomon{H8010} began{H2490} to build{H1129} the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} at Jerusalem{H3389} on mount{H2022} Moriah,{H4179} where [Jehovah] appeared{H7200} unto David{H1732} his father,{H1} which he made ready in the place{H4725} that David{H1732} had appointed,{H3559} in the threshing-floor{H1637} of Ornan{H771} the Jebusite.{H2983}

And he began{H2490} to build{H1129} in the second{H8145} [day] of the second{H8145} month,{H2320} in the fourth{H702} year{H8141} of his reign.{H4438}

Now these are the foundations which Solomon{H8010} laid{H3245} for the building{H1129} of the house{H1004} of God.{H430} The length{H753} by cubits{H520} after the first{H7223} measure{H4060} was threescore{H8346} cubits,{H520} and the breadth{H7341} twenty{H6242} cubits.{H520}

And the porch{H197} that was before{H6440} [the house], the length{H753} of it, according to the breadth{H7341} of the house,{H1004} was twenty{H6242} cubits,{H520} and the height{H1363} a hundred{H3967} and twenty;{H6242} and he overlaid{H6823} it within{H6441} with pure{H2889} gold.{H2091}

And the greater{H1419} house{H1004} he ceiled{H2645} with fir-wood,{H1265} {H6086} which he overlaid{H2645} with fine{H2896} gold,{H2091} and wrought{H5927} thereon palm-trees{H8561} and chains.{H8333}

And he garnished{H6823} the house{H1004} with precious{H3368} stones{H68} for beauty:{H8597} and the gold{H2091} was gold{H2091} of Parvaim.{H6516}

He overlaid{H2645} also the house,{H1004} the beams,{H6982} the thresholds,{H5592} and the walls{H7023} thereof, and the doors{H1817} thereof, with gold;{H2091} and graved{H6605} cherubim{H3742} on the walls.{H7023}

And he made{H6213} the most{H6944} holy{H6944} house:{H1004} the length{H753} thereof, according to{H6440} the breadth{H7341} of the house,{H1004} was twenty{H6242} cubits,{H520} and the breadth{H7341} thereof twenty{H6242} cubits;{H520} and he overlaid{H2645} it with fine{H2896} gold,{H2091} amounting to six{H8337} hundred{H3967} talents.{H3603}

And the weight{H4948} of the nails{H4548} was fifty{H2572} shekels{H8255} of gold.{H2091} And he overlaid{H2645} the upper chambers{H5944} with gold.{H2091}

And in the most{H6944} holy{H6944} house{H1004} he made{H6213} two{H8147} cherubim{H3742} of image{H6816} work;{H4639} and they overlaid{H6823} them with gold.{H2091}

And the wings{H3671} of the cherubim{H3742} were twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} long:{H753} the wing{H3671} of the one{H259} [cherub] was five{H2568} cubits,{H520} reaching{H5060} to the wall{H7023} of the house;{H1004} and the other{H312} wing{H3671} was [likewise] five{H2568} cubits,{H520} reaching{H5060} to the wing{H3671} of the other{H312} cherub.{H3742}

And the wing{H3671} of the other{H259} cherub{H3742} was five{H2568} cubits,{H520} reaching{H5060} to the wall{H7023} of the house;{H1004} and the other{H312} wing{H3671} was five{H2568} cubits{H520} [also], joining{H1695} to the wing{H3671} of the other{H312} cherub.{H3742}

The wings{H3671} of these cherubim{H3742} spread themselves forth{H6566} twenty{H6242} cubits:{H520} and they stood{H5975} on their feet,{H7272} and their faces{H6440} were toward{H1004} the house.

And he made{H6213} the veil{H6532} of blue,{H8504} and purple,{H713} and crimson,{H3758} and fine linen,{H948} and wrought{H5927} cherubim{H3742} thereon.

Also he made{H6213} before{H6440} the house{H1004} two{H8147} pillars{H5982} of thirty{H7970} and five{H2568} cubits{H520} high,{H753} and the capital{H6858} that was on the top{H7218} of each of them was five{H2568} cubits.{H520}

And he made{H6213} chains{H8333} in the oracle,{H1687} and put{H5414} [them] on the tops{H7218} of the pillars;{H5982} and he made{H6213} a hundred{H3967} pomegranates,{H7416} and put{H5414} them on the chains.{H8333}

And he set up{H6965} the pillars{H5982} before{H6440} the temple,{H1964} one{H259} on the right hand,{H3225} and the other{H259} on the left;{H8040} and called{H7121} the name{H8034} of that on the right hand{H3233} Jachin,{H3199} and the name{H8034} of that on the left{H8042} Boaz.{H1162}
