And it came to pass in the four{H702} hundred{H3967} and eightieth{H8084} year{H8141} after the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} were come out{H3318} of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} in the fourth{H7243} year{H8141} of Solomon's{H8010} reign{H4427} over Israel,{H3478} in the month{H2320} Ziv,{H2099} which is the second{H8145} month,{H2320} that he began to build{H1129} the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And the house{H1004} which king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} built{H1129} for Jehovah,{H3068} the length{H753} thereof was threescore{H8346} cubits,{H520} and the breadth{H7341} thereof twenty{H6242} [cubits], and the height{H6967} thereof thirty{H7970} cubits.{H520}

And the porch{H197} before{H6440} the temple{H1964} of the house,{H1004} twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} was the length{H753} thereof, according to the breadth{H7341} of the house;{H1004} [and] ten{H6235} cubits{H520} was the breadth{H7341} thereof before the house.{H1004}

And for the house{H1004} he made{H6213} windows{H2474} of fixed{H331} lattice-work.{H8261}

And against the wall{H7023} of the house{H1004} he built{H1129} stories{H3326} round about,{H5439} against the walls{H7023} of the house{H1004} round about,{H5439} both of the temple{H1964} and of the oracle;{H1687} and he made{H6213} side-chambers{H6763} round about.{H5439}

The nethermost{H8481} story{H3326} was five{H2568} cubits{H520} broad,{H7341} and the middle{H8484} was six{H8337} cubits{H520} broad,{H7341} and the third{H7992} was seven{H7651} cubits{H520} broad;{H7341} for on the outside he made{H5414} offsets{H4052} [in the wall] of{H2351} the house{H1004} round about,{H5439} that [the beams] should not have hold{H270} in the walls{H7023} of the house.{H1004}

And the house,{H1004} when it was in building,{H1129} was built{H1129} of stone{H68} made ready{H8003} at the quarry;{H4551} and there was neither hammer{H4717} nor axe{H1631} nor any tool{H3627} of iron{H1270} heard{H8085} in the house,{H1004} while it was in building.{H1129}

The door{H6607} for the middle{H8484} side-chambers{H6763} was in the right{H3233} side{H3802} of the house:{H1004} and they went up{H5927} by winding stairs{H3883} into the middle{H8484} [story], and out of the middle{H8484} into the third.{H7992}

So he built{H1129} the house,{H1004} and finished{H3615} it; and he covered{H5603} the house{H1004} with beams{H1356} and planks{H7713} of cedar.{H730}

And he built{H1129} the stories{H3326} against all the house,{H1004} each five{H2568} cubits{H520} high:{H6967} and they rested{H270} on the house{H1004} with timber{H6086} of cedar.{H730}

And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came to Solomon,{H8010} saying,{H559}

Concerning this house{H1004} which thou art building,{H1129} if thou wilt walk{H3212} in my statutes,{H2708} and execute{H6213} mine ordinances,{H4941} and keep{H8104} all my commandments{H4687} to walk{H3212} in them; then will I establish{H6965} my word{H1697} with thee, which I spake{H1696} unto David{H1732} thy father.{H1}

And I will dwell{H7931} among{H8432} the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} and will not forsake{H5800} my people{H5971} Israel.{H3478}

So Solomon{H8010} built{H1129} the house,{H1004} and finished{H3615} it.

And he built{H1129} the walls{H7023} of the house{H1004} within{H1004} with boards{H6763} of cedar:{H730} from the floor{H7172} of the house{H1004} unto the walls{H7023} of the ceiling,{H5604} he covered{H6823} them on the inside{H1004} with wood;{H6086} and he covered{H6823} the floor{H7172} of the house{H1004} with boards{H6763} of fir.{H1265}

And he built{H1129} twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} on the hinder{H3411} part of the house{H1004} with{H4480} boards{H6763} of cedar{H730} from the floor{H7172} unto the walls{H7023} [of the ceiling]: he built{H1129} [them] for it within,{H1004} for an oracle,{H1687} even for the most{H6944} holy{H6944} place.

And the house,{H1004} that is, the temple{H1964} before{H3942} [the oracle], was forty{H705} cubits{H520} [long].

And there was cedar{H730} on the house{H1004} within,{H6441} carved{H4734} with knops{H6497} and open{H6362} flowers:{H6731} all was cedar;{H730} there was no stone{H68} seen.{H7200}

And he prepared{H3559} an oracle{H1687} in{H8432} the midst of the house{H1004} within,{H6441} to set{H5414} there the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And within{H6440} the oracle{H1687} was [a space of] twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} in length,{H753} and twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} in breadth,{H7341} and twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} in the height{H6967} thereof; and he overlaid{H6823} it with pure{H5462} gold:{H2091} and he covered{H6823} the altar{H4196} with cedar.{H730}

So Solomon{H8010} overlaid{H6823} the house{H1004} within{H6441} with pure{H5462} gold:{H2091} and he drew{H5674} chains{H7572} of gold{H2091} across before{H6440} the oracle;{H1687} and he overlaid{H6823} it with gold.{H2091}

And the whole house{H1004} he overlaid{H6823} with gold,{H2091} until all the house{H1004} was finished:{H8552} also the whole altar{H4196} that belonged to the oracle{H1687} he overlaid{H6823} with gold.{H2091}

And in the oracle{H1687} he made{H6213} two{H8147} cherubim{H3742} of olive-wood,{H8081} {H6086} each ten{H6235} cubits{H520} high.{H6967}

And five{H2568} cubits{H520} was the one{H259} wing{H3671} of the cherub,{H3742} and five{H2568} cubits{H520} the other{H8145} wing{H3671} of the cherub:{H3742} from the uttermost part{H7098} of the one wing{H3671} unto the uttermost part{H7098} of the other{H3671} were ten{H6235} cubits.{H520}

And the other{H8145} cherub{H3742} was ten{H6235} cubits:{H520} both{H8147} the cherubim{H3742} were of one{H259} measure{H4060} and one{H259} form.{H7095}

The height{H6967} of the one{H259} cherub{H3742} was ten{H6235} cubits,{H520} and so was it of the other{H8145} cherub.{H3742}

And he set{H5414} the cherubim{H3742} within{H8432} the inner{H6442} house;{H1004} and the wings{H3671} of the cherubim{H3742} were stretched forth,{H6566} so that the wing{H3671} of the one{H259} touched{H5060} the one wall,{H7023} and the wing{H3671} of the other{H8145} cherub{H3742} touched{H5060} the other{H8145} wall;{H7023} and their wings{H3671} touched{H5060} one{H3671} another{H3671} in the midst{H8432} of the house.{H1004}

And he overlaid{H6823} the cherubim{H3742} with gold.{H2091}

And he carved{H7049} all the walls{H7023} of the house{H1004} round about{H4524} with carved{H6603} figures{H4734} of cherubim{H3742} and palm-trees{H8561} and open{H6362} flowers,{H6731} within{H6441} and without.{H2435}

And the floor{H7172} of the house{H1004} he overlaid{H6823} with gold,{H2091} within{H6441} and without.{H2435}

And for the entrance{H6607} of the oracle{H1687} he made{H6213} doors{H1817} of olive-wood:{H8081} {H6086} the lintel{H352} [and] door-posts{H4201} were a fifth part{H2549} [of the wall].

So [he made] two{H8147} doors{H1817} of olive-wood;{H8081} {H6086} and he carved{H7049} upon them carvings{H4734} of cherubim{H3742} and palm-trees{H8561} and open{H6362} flowers,{H6731} and overlaid{H6823} them with gold;{H2091} and he spread{H7286} the gold{H2091} upon the cherubim,{H3742} and upon the palm-trees.{H8561}

So also made{H6213} he for the entrance{H6607} of the temple{H1964} door-posts{H4201} of olive-wood,{H8081} {H6086} out of a fourth part{H7243} [of the wall];

and two{H8147} doors{H1817} of fir-wood:{H1265} {H6086} the two{H8147} leaves{H6763} of the one{H259} door{H1817} were folding,{H1550} and the two{H8147} leaves{H7050} of the other{H8145} door{H1817} were folding.{H1550}

And he carved{H7049} [thereon] cherubim{H3742} and palm-trees{H8561} and open{H6362} flowers;{H6731} and he overlaid{H6823} them with gold{H2091} fitted{H3474} upon the graven work.{H2707}

And he built{H1129} the inner{H6442} court{H2691} with three{H7969} courses{H2905} of hewn stone,{H1496} and a course{H2905} of cedar{H730} beams.{H3773}

In the fourth{H7243} year{H8141} was the foundation{H3245} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} laid,{H3245} in the month{H3391} Ziv.{H2099}

And in the eleventh{H259} year,{H8141} in the month{H3391} Bul,{H945} which is the eighth{H8066} month,{H2320} was the house{H1004} finished{H3615} throughout all the parts{H1697} thereof, and according to all the fashion{H4941} of it. So was he seven{H7651} years{H8141} in building{H1129} it.
