| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign. |

| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and its height was 120 cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The nave he lined with cypress and covered it with fine gold and made palms and chains on it. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parvaim. |

| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8And he made the Most Holy Place. Its length, corresponding to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth was twenty cubits. He overlaid it with 600 talents of fine gold. |

| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12and of this cherub, one wing, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and the other wing, also of five cubits, was joined to the wing of the first cherub. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. The cherubim stood on their feet, facing the nave. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16He made chains like a necklace and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Boaz. |
