1	And it came to passe, that in the foure hundred & fourescore yere, after the childre of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the fourth yere of the rayne of Solomon vpon Israel, & in the moneth Zif, which is the second moneth, he began to build the house of the Lorde.	In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.	In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the LORD.
2	And the house which king Solomon built for the Lorde, was threescore cubites long, and twentie cubites broade, and thirtie cubites hie.	The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.	The temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.
3	And he made a porche before the temple of the house, which was twentie cubites long, after ye breadth of the house, and ten cubites brode, euen in the fore front of the house.	The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house.	The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple.
4	And in the house he made windowes, broade without, and narow within.	And he made for the house windows with recessed frames.	He made narrow windows high up in the temple walls.
5	And by the wall of the house he made chambers round about euen in the walles of the house round about the temple & the quier: and he made chambers round about.	He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around.	Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.
6	The neathermost chamber was fiue cubites broade, & the middle was sixe cubites broade, & the third was seuen cubites broade: For without in the wall of the house he made restes round about that the beames of the chambers shoulde not be fastened in ye walles of the house.	The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad. For around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.	The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
7	And the house was built of stone, made perfect alredye before it was brought thyther: so that there was neither hammer nor axe, either any toole of iron heard in the house while it was in buylding.	When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.	In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.
8	The doore of the middle chamber was in the ryght syde of the house: and men went vp with wineding stayres into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.	The entrance for the lowest story was on the south side of the house, and one went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third.	The entrance to the lowest floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third.
9	And so he built the house, and finished it: and he roofed the house vaultly with beames of Cedar tymber.	So he built the house and finished it, and he made the ceiling of the house of beams and planks of cedar.	So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar planks.
10	And then he built chambers to all the temple fiue cubites heyght, & they were ioyned to the house with beames of Cedar.	He built the structure against the whole house, five cubits high, and it was joined to the house with timbers of cedar.	And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar.
11	And the word of the Lorde came to Solomon, saying:	Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon,	The word of the LORD came to Solomon:
12	Concerning the house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walke in myne ordinaunces, and execute my lawes, and kepe all my commaundementes to walke in them: then wyll I make good vnto thee my promise which I promysed Dauid thy father:	“Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and obey my rules and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.	“As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise I gave to David your father.
13	And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.	And I will dwell among the children of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.”	And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon my people Israel.”
14	Solomon therefore built the house, and finished it.	So Solomon built the house and finished it.	So Solomon built the temple and completed it.
15	And seeled the walles of the house within with boordes of Cedar tree: euen fro the pauement of the house vnto the roofe did he seele the walles of it within with Cedar tree: and boorded the floore of the house with planckes of firre.	He lined the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar. From the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood, and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress.	He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and covered the floor of the temple with planks of juniper.
16	And he builded twentie cubites in the sydes of the quier of the temple both floore & walles with boordes of Cedar: and dressed it within the secret place of the temple, euen in the most holy.	He built twenty cubits of the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, as the Most Holy Place.	He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
17	But the house, that is the temple before it, was fourtie cubites long.	The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.	The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.
18	And the Cedar of the house within, was carued with knoppes, and grauen with flowres: & all was Cedar timber, so that no stone was sene.	The cedar within the house was carved in the form of gourds and open flowers. All was cedar; no stone was seen.	The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen.
19	And the quier that was within the temple he prepared, to set there the arke of the appoyntment of the Lorde.	The inner sanctuary he prepared in the innermost part of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.	He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
20	And the quier before was twentie cubites long, & twentie cubites in breadth, and twentie cubites in height: And he couered it with pure golde, and boorded the aulter with Cedar.	The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid an altar of cedar.	The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.
21	So Solomon couered the house within with pure golde: And he made golde barres runne along the quier, which he had couered with golde.	And Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold.	Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.
22	And the whole house he ouerlayde with golde vntil he had ended it: also al the aulter that was in the quier he ouerlayde with golde.	And he overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.	So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
23	And within the quier he made two Cherubims of Oliue tree ten cubites hie.	In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high.	For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim out of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24	Fiue cubites long was a wing of the one Cherub, & fiue cubites long was a wing of the other Cherub: so that from the vttermost part of one wing, vnto the vttermost part of the other, were ten cubites.	Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the length of the other wing of the cherub; it was ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.	One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip.
25	And the other Cherub was ten cubites hie also: so that both the Cherubs were of one measure, and one sise:	The other cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same measure and the same form.	The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape.
26	For the height of the one Cherub was ten cubites, and so was it of the other.	The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub.	The height of each cherub was ten cubits.
27	And he put the Cherubs within the inner house: And the Cherubs stretched out their winges, so that the one wing of the one touched the one wall, and the one wing of the other touched the other wall: And the other two winges of them touched one another in the middest of the house.	He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. And the wings of the cherubim were spread out so that a wing of one touched the one wall, and a wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; their other wings touched each other in the middle of the house.	He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.
28	And he ouerlayde the Cherubs with golde.	And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.	He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29	And in all the walles of ye house round about, he made figures of carued & seeled worke: as namely pictures of Cherubs, & paulme trees, & grauen flowres, both within in the quier and without in the temple.	Around all the walls of the house he carved engraved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms.	On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers.
30	And the floore of the house he couered with golde, both within in the quier and also without in the temple.	The floor of the house he overlaid with gold in the inner and outer rooms.	He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
31	And in the entering of the quier, he made two doores of Oliue tree: And both the vpper & two side postes were fiue square.	For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood; the lintel and the doorposts were five-sided.	For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary.
32	The two doores also were of oliue tree, & he graued them with grauing of Cherubs and paulme trees and grauen flowres, & couered them with golde, & layde thinne plates of golde vpon the Cherubs and paulme trees.	He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.	And on the two olive-wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.
33	And so made he for the doore of the temple, postes of Oliue tree foure square.	So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olivewood, in the form of a square,	In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall.
34	The two doores were of firre tree, and either doore with foulding leaues.	and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.	He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets.
35	And he graued thereon Cherubs, paulme trees, & carued flowres: and couered the carued worke with golde finelie wrought.	On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the carved work.	He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
36	And he built the inner court with three rowes of hewed stone, and one rowe of Cedar wood.	He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and one course of cedar beams.	And he built the inner courtyard of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.
37	In the fourth yere was the foundation of the house of the Lorde layde, euen in the moneth Zif.	In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv.	The foundation of the temple of the LORD was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.
38	And in the leuenth yere, in the moneth Bul (which is the eyght moneth) was the house full finished throughout all the partes thereof, according to all the fashion of it: And so was he seuen yeres in building it.	And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it.	In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it.
