And it came to pass in the four [0702] hundred [08141] [03967] and eightieth [08084] year [08141] after the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were come out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Solomon's [08010] reign [04427] over Israel [03478], in the month [02320] Zif [02099], which is the second [08145] month [02320], that he began to build [01129] the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].began…: Heb. built
And the house [01004] which king [04428] Solomon [08010] built [01129] for the Lord [03068], the length [0753] thereof was threescore [08346] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] thereof twenty [06242] cubits, and the height [06967] thereof thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
And the porch [0197] before [06440] the temple [01964] of the house [01004], twenty [06242] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, according to the breadth [07341] of the house [01004]; and ten [06235] cubits [0520] was the breadth [07341] thereof before the house [01004].
And for the house [01004] he made [06213] windows [02474] of narrow [0331] lights [08261].of…: or, broad within, and narrow without: or, skewed and closed
And against the wall [07023] of the house [01004] he built [01129] chambers [03326] [03326] round about [05439], against the walls [07023] of the house [01004] round about [05439], both of the temple [01964] and of the oracle [01687]: and he made [06213] chambers [06763] round about [05439]:against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wallbuilt chambers: Heb. built floorsmade chambers: Heb. made ribs
The nethermost [08481] chamber [03326] [03326] was five [02568] cubits [0520] broad [07341], and the middle [08484] was six [08337] cubits [0520] broad [07341], and the third [07992] was seven [07651] cubits [0520] broad [07341]: for without in the wall of [02351] the house [01004] he made [05414] narrowed rests [04052] round about [05439], that the beams should not be fastened [0270] in the walls [07023] of the house [01004].narrowed…: Heb. narrowings, or, rebatements
And the house [01004], when it was in building [01129], was built [01129] of stone [068] made ready [08003] before it was brought [04551] thither: so that there was neither hammer [04717] nor axe [01631] nor any tool [03627] of iron [01270] heard [08085] in the house [01004], while it was in building [01129].
The door [06607] for the middle [08484] chamber [06763] was in the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004]: and they went up [05927] with winding stairs [03883] into the middle [08484] chamber, and out of the middle [08484] into the third [07992].side: Heb. shoulder

And then he built [01129] chambers [03326] [03326] against all the house [01004], five [02568] cubits [0520] high [06967]: and they rested [0270] on the house [01004] with timber [06086] of cedar [0730].
And the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Solomon [08010], saying [0559],
Concerning this house [01004] which thou art in building [01129], if thou wilt walk [03212] in my statutes [02708], and execute [06213] my judgments [04941], and keep [08104] all my commandments [04687] to walk [03212] in them; then will I perform [06965] my word [01697] with thee, which I spake [01696] unto David [01732] thy father [01]:
And I will dwell [07931] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and will not forsake [05800] my people [05971] Israel [03478].
So Solomon [08010] built [01129] the house [01004], and finished [03615] it.
And he built [01129] the walls [07023] of the house [01004] within [01004] with boards [06763] of cedar [0730], both the floor [07172] of the house [01004], and the walls [07023] of the cieling [05604]: and he covered [06823] them on the inside [01004] with wood [06086], and covered [06823] the floor [07172] of the house [01004] with planks [06763] of fir [01265].both…: or, from the floor of the house unto the walls, etc
And he built [01129] twenty [06242] cubits [0520] on the sides [03411] of the house [01004], both [04480] the floor [07172] and the walls [07023] with boards [06763] of cedar [0730]: he even built [01129] them for it within [01004], even for the oracle [01687], even for the most [06944] holy [06944] place.
And the house [01004], that is, the temple [01964] before [03942] it, was forty [0705] cubits [0520] long.
And the cedar [0730] of the house [01004] within [06441] was carved [04734] with knops [06497] and open [06362] flowers [06731]: all was cedar [0730]; there was no stone [068] seen [07200].knops: or, gourdsopen: Heb. openings of
And the oracle [01687] he prepared [03559] in [08432] the house [01004] within [06441], to set [05414] there the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the Lord [03068].
And the oracle [01687] in the forepart [06440] was twenty [06242] cubits [0520] in length [0753], and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] in breadth [07341], and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] in the height [06967] thereof: and he overlaid [06823] it with pure [05462] gold [02091]; and so covered [06823] the altar [04196] which was of cedar [0730].pure: Heb. shut up
So Solomon [08010] overlaid [06823] the house [01004] within [06441] with pure [05462] gold [02091]: and he made a partition [05674] by the chains [07572] [07572] of gold [02091] before [06440] the oracle [01687]; and he overlaid [06823] it with gold [02091].
And the whole house [01004] he overlaid [06823] with gold [02091], until he had finished [08552] all the house [01004]: also the whole altar [04196] that was by the oracle [01687] he overlaid [06823] with gold [02091].
And within the oracle [01687] he made [06213] two [08147] cherubims [03742] of olive [08081] tree [06086], each ten [06235] cubits [0520] high [06967].olive: or, oily: Heb. trees of oil

And the other [08145] cherub [03742] was ten [06235] cubits [0520]: both [08147] the cherubims [03742] were of one [0259] measure [04060] and one [0259] size [07095].
The height [06967] of the one [0259] cherub [03742] was ten [06235] cubits [0520], and so was it of the other [08145] cherub [03742].
And he set [05414] the cherubims [03742] within [08432] the inner [06442] house [01004]: and they stretched forth [06566] the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742], so that the wing [03671] of the one [0259] touched [05060] the one wall [07023], and the wing [03671] of the other [08145] cherub [03742] touched [05060] the other [08145] wall [07023]; and their wings [03671] touched [05060] one [03671] another [03671] in the midst [08432] of the house [01004].they…: or, the cherubims stretched forth their wings
And he overlaid [06823] the cherubims [03742] with gold [02091].
And he carved [07049] all the walls [07023] of the house [01004] round about [04524] with carved [06603] figures [04734] of cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] and open [06362] flowers [06731], within [06441] and without [02435].open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers

The two [08147] doors [01817] also were of olive [08081] tree [06086]; and he carved [07049] upon them carvings [04734] of cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] and open [06362] flowers [06731], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091], and spread [07286] gold [02091] upon the cherubims [03742], and upon the palm trees [08561].two…: or, leaves of the doorsopen flowers: Heb. openings of flowers

And the two [08147] doors [01817] were of fir [01265] tree [06086]: the two [08147] leaves [06763] of the one [0259] door [01817] were folding [01550], and the two [08147] leaves [07050] of the other [08145] door [01817] were folding [01550].
And he carved [07049] thereon cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] and open [06362] flowers [06731]: and covered [06823] them with gold [02091] fitted [03474] upon the carved work [02707].
And he built [01129] the inner [06442] court [02691] with three [07969] rows [02905] of hewed stone [01496], and a row [02905] of cedar [0730] beams [03773].
In the fourth [07243] year [08141] was the foundation [03245] of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068] laid [03245], in the month [03391] Zif [02099]:
And in the eleventh [06240] [0259] year [08141], in the month [03391] Bul [0945], which is the eighth [08066] month [02320], was the house [01004] finished [03615] throughout all the parts [01697] thereof, and according to all the fashion [04941] of it.
