King James Version
And it cometh
to pass ,
in the four hundred and eightieth year of
the
going
out
of
the sons
of Israel from
the land of Egypt, in the fourth year --
in the month of
Zif, it
`
is '
the second month --
of
the
reigning
of
Solomon
over
Israel
, that he buildeth
the house for
Jehovah
.
And it came
to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after
the children
of Israel were
come
out
of
the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of
Solomon's
reign
over
Israel,
in the month Zif, which
is the second month, that he began
to
build
the house of
the
LORD
.
As
to
the house that
king Solomon hath
built for Jehovah
, sixty
cubits
`is'
its
length, and twenty
its
breadth, and thirty cubits its
height
.
And
the house which
king Solomon built for the
LORD
, the
length thereof
was
threescore
cubits
, and the
breadth thereof
twenty
cubits
, and the
height
thereof
thirty cubits.
As
to
the porch on
the
front
of
the temple of the house, twenty cubits `is'
its
length
on
the front
of
the breadth of the house; ten by
the cubit
`is'
its
breadth on
the
front
of
the house ;
And
the porch before
the temple of the house, twenty cubits was
the length
thereof,
according
to
the breadth of the house; and
ten cubits
was
the breadth thereof
before
the house .
and he
maketh
for the house windows of narrow lights.
And for the house he
made
windows of narrow lights.
And he
buildeth
against the wall of the house a
couch
round about, `even'
the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the oracle ,
and maketh
sides
round about .
And against the wall of the house he
built
chambers
round about, against
the walls of the house round about, both
of the temple and of the oracle :
and he
made
chambers
round about :
The lowest
couch,
five by
the
cubit
`is'
its
breadth;
and the middle ,
six by
the
cubit
`is'
its
breadth;
and the third ,
seven by
the
cubit
`is'
its
breadth,
for withdrawings
he
hath
put
to
the house round about, without
--
not to
lay
hold
on
the walls of the house.
The nethermost
chamber
was
five cubits
broad,
and the middle was
six cubits
broad,
and the third was
seven cubits
broad:
for without
in
the wall
of
the
house he
made
narrowed
rests
round about, that
the
beams
should
not be
fastened
in
the walls of the house.
And the house, in its
being
built
, of perfect
stone brought `
thither '
hath
been
built,
and
hammer ,
and
the
axe --
any instrument
of iron --
was
not
heard in the house, in its
being
built
.
And the house, when
it
was
in building
, was
built
of stone made
ready
before
it
was
brought thither :
so
that
there
was
neither
hammer nor
axe nor
any tool
of iron heard in the house, while
it
was
in building
.
The opening
of
the middle side
`is'
at
the right shoulder
of the house ,
and with
windings
they go
up on
the middle one
, and from
the middle one
unto
the third.
The door
for
the middle chamber
was
in
the right side
of the house :
and they went
up with
winding
stairs
into
the middle chamber
, and out
of
the middle into
the third.
And
he buildeth
the house, and completeth
it ,
and covereth
the house `
with '
beams and rows
of cedars
.
So
he built
the house, and finished
it ;
and covered
the house with beams and boards
of cedar
.
And he buildeth
the
couch
against all the house, five cubits `is'
its
height,
and it
taketh
hold
of
the house by
cedar -wood
.
And then
he built
chambers
against all the house, five cubits high:
and they
rested
on
the house with
timber
of
cedar.
And the word of Jehovah
is
unto
Solomon, saying,
And the word of the
LORD
came
to
Solomon, saying,
`
This house that
thou art building --
if thou dost
walk in My statutes, and My judgments dost
do
, yea,
hast
done
all My commands,
to walk in them ,
then I have
established
My word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father ,
Concerning
this house which
thou art in
building ,
if thou wilt
walk in my statutes, and execute
my judgments, and
keep
all my commandments
to walk in them ;
then will
I perform
my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father :
and have
tabernacled
in
the
midst
of
the sons
of Israel, and do
not forsake My people Israel. '
And I
will
dwell
among
the children
of Israel, and will
not forsake my people Israel.
And
Solomon buildeth
the house and completeth
it ;
So
Solomon built
the house ,
and finished
it .
and he buildeth
the walls of the house within with beams
of cedar, from
the floor of the house unto
the walls of the ceiling ;
he hath
overlaid
with
wood
the inside, and covereth
the floor of the house with ribs
of fir.
And he built
the walls of the house within with boards
of cedar, both
the floor of the house ,
and
the walls of the ceiling :
and
he covered
them
on
the inside with
wood
, and covered
the floor of the house with planks
of fir.
And he buildeth
the
twenty cubits on the sides of the house with
ribs
of
cedar
, from
the floor unto
the walls ;
and
he buildeth
for it within, for the oracle, for the holy of
holies
.
And he built
twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both
the floor and
the walls with
boards
of
cedar:
he even
built
them
for it within, even
for the oracle, even
for the most
holy place
.
And forty
by
the cubit
was
the
house, it
`
is '
the temple before `
it '
.
And the house, that
is ,
the temple before it ,
was
forty
cubits
long
.
And the cedar for
the house within `is'
carvings
of
knobs
and openings
of
flowers ;
the
whole
`is'
cedar ,
there is
not
a
stone seen.
And the cedar of
the house within was
carved
with
knops
and open
flowers :
all
was
cedar ;
there was
no
stone seen.
And the oracle in the midst
of
the
house within he
hath
prepared
, to put
there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
.
And the oracle he
prepared
in the house within, to set
there the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
.
And before
the oracle `is'
twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits `is'
its
height ;
and he overlayeth
it with gold refined,
and overlayeth
the altar with
cedar.
And the oracle in
the
forepart
was
twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in
the
height thereof:
and he overlaid
it with pure
gold ;
and so
covered
the altar which
was
of
cedar.
And
Solomon overlayeth
the house within with gold refined,
and causeth
`it'
to
pass
over
in
chains of gold before the oracle ,
and overlayeth
it with gold.
So
Solomon overlaid
the house within with pure
gold :
and he
made
a
partition
by
the
chains of gold before the oracle ;
and he
overlaid
it with gold.
And the whole of
the
house he hath
overlaid with gold, till
the
completion
of
all the house ;
and
the whole of
the
altar that the oracle hath,
he hath
overlaid with gold.
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until
he
had
finished
all the house :
also
the whole altar that was
by
the oracle he overlaid with gold.
And he
maketh
within the oracle two cherubs,
of the
oil-
tree, ten cubits `is'
their
height;
And within the oracle he
made
two cherubim
of olive
tree, each
ten cubits high.
and five cubits `is'
the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second
wing of the cherub ,
ten
cubits
from the ends
of its
wings
even
unto the ends
of its
wings;
And five cubits was
the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other
wing of the cherub :
from the uttermost
part
of the
one
wing
unto the uttermost
part
of the
other
were
ten
cubits.
and ten
by
the cubit
`is'
the
second
cherub ,
one measure and one form
`are'
to
the
two
cherubs,
And the other
cherub was
ten
cubits:
both
the
cherubim
were
of
one measure and one size.
the height of the one cherub `is'
ten by
the
cubit
, and so `is'
the second
cherub ;
The height of the one cherub was
ten cubits
, and so was
it
of
the other
cherub .
and he setteth
the
cherubs
in
the midst
of
the inner house ,
and they spread
out
the wings of the cherubs
, and
a
wing of the one cometh
against
the wall, and a
wing of the second
cherub is
coming
against
the second
wall ,
and their wings `are'
unto
the midst of the house ,
coming
wing
against
wing;
And he set
the cherubim
within
the inner house :
and they stretched
forth
the wings of the cherubim
, so
that
the
wing of the one touched
the one
wall, and the
wing of the other
cherub touched
the other
wall ;
and their wings touched
one
another
in
the midst of the house .
and he overlayeth
the cherubs
with gold ,
And he overlaid
the cherubim
with gold .
and all the walls of the house round about he
hath
carved
with openings
of carvings,
cherubs,
and palm trees ,
and openings
of
flowers, within and without.
And he
carved
all the walls of the house round about with carved
figures
of cherubim
and palm trees and open
flowers, within and without.
And the floor
of the house he hath
overlaid with gold, within and without ;
And the floors
of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without .
as
to
the opening
of the oracle ,
he made doors of the
oil-
tree ;
the lintel ,
side -
posts ,
a fifth.
And
for
the entering
of the oracle he made doors of olive
tree :
the lintel and
side posts were
a fifth part
of
the
wall
.
And
the two doors `are'
of the
oil-
tree ,
and he hath
carved upon them carvings of cherubs,
and palm -
trees ,
and openings
of
flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he
causeth
the
gold to
go
down
on
the cherubs
and on
the palm -
trees.
The two doors also
were
of olive
tree ;
and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim
and palm trees and open
flowers, and overlaid them
with gold, and spread
gold upon
the cherubim,
and upon
the palm trees.
And
so he
hath
made for the opening
of the temple ,
side-
posts of the
oil-
tree, from
the
fourth.
So also
made he
for the door
of the temple posts of olive
tree, a
fourth part
of
the
wall
.
And the two doors `are'
of fir -
tree ,
the two sides
of the one door are
revolving
, and the two hangings
of the second
door are
revolving
.
And the two doors were
of fir tree :
the two leaves
of the one door were
folding
, and the two leaves
of the other
door were
folding
.
And he hath
carved cherubs,
and palms,
and openings
of
flowers ,
and overlaid
with straightened
gold the graved
work.
And he carved thereon
cherubim
and palm
trees
and open
flowers :
and covered
them
with gold fitted
upon
the carved
work.
And he buildeth
the inner court ,
three rows of hewn
work
, and a row of beams
of
cedar.
And he built
the inner court with
three rows of hewed
stone
, and a row of cedar beams
.
In the fourth year hath
the house of Jehovah
been
founded
, in the month Zif ,
In the fourth year was
the foundation
of
the
house of the
LORD
laid
, in the month Zif :
and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul --
`that
is '
the eighth month --
hath
the house been
finished in
all its
matters
, and in
all its
ordinances,
and
he
buildeth
it seven years.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul ,
which
is the eighth month ,
was
the house finished throughout
all the
parts
thereof
, and according
to
all the
fashion
of
it .
So
was
he
seven years in
building
it
.
