1 So Salomon began to buyld the house of the Lord in Ierusalem, in mount Moriah which had bene declared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid prepared in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite. Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.
2 And he beganne to buylde in the seconde moneth and the second day, in the fourth yeere of his reigne. He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign. He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 And these are the measures, whereon Salomon grounded to buylde the house of God: the length of cubites after the first measure was threescore cubites, & the breadth twenty cubites: These are Solomon’s measurements for building the house of God: the length, in cubits of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide (using the cubit of the old standard).
4 And the porch, that was before the length in the front of the breadth was twentie cubits, and the height was an hundreth and twentie, & he ouerlayd it within with pure golde. The 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. The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits long across the width of the building and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 And the greater house he sieled with firre tree which he ouerlayd with good golde, & graued thereon palme trees and chaines. The nave he lined with cypress and covered it with fine gold and made palms and chains on it. He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree and chain designs.
6 And hee ouerlayde the house with precious stone for beautie: and the golde was gold of Paruaim. He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parvaim. He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim.
7 The house, I say, the beames, postes, and walles thereof & the doores thereof ouerlayde he with gold, & graued Cherubims vpon the walles. So he lined the house with gold—its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors—and he carved cherubim on the walls. He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 He made also the house of the most holy place: the length thereof was in the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, & the breadth thereof twentie cubites: and he ouerlayde it with the best golde, of sixe hundreth talents. And 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. He built the Most Holy Place, its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 And the weight of the nayles was fiftie shekels of golde, and hee ouerlayde the chambers with golde. The weight of gold for the nails was fifty shekels. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. The gold nails weighed fifty shekels. He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.
10 And in the house of the most holy place he made two Cherubims wrought like children, and ouerlayd them with golde. In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of wood and overlaid them with gold. For the Most Holy Place he made a pair of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold.
11 And the winges of the Cherubims were twentie cubites long: the one wing was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites, reaching to the wing of the other Cherub. The wings of the cherubim together extended twenty cubits: one wing of the one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub; The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Likewise the wing of ye other Cherub was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, & the other wing fiue cubites ioyning to the wing of the other Cherub. and 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. Similarly one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched the other temple wall, and its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 The wings of these Cherubims were spread abroade twentie cubites: they stoode on their feete, and their faces were toward the house. The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. The cherubim stood on their feet, facing the nave. The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.
14 He made also the vaile of blew silke & purple, and crimosin, and fine linen, and wrought Cherubims thereon. And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it. He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it.
15 And he made before the house two pillars of fiue and thirtie cubites hie: and the chapiter that was vpon the top of eche of them, was fiue cubites. In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. For the front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits long, each with a capital five cubits high.
16 He made also chaines for the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars, and made an hundreth pomegranates, and put them among the chaines. He 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. He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
17 And he set vp the pillars before the Temple, one on the right hande and the other on the left, and called that on the right hand Iachin, & that on the left hand Boaz. He 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. He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.
