For around the outside of the house, he made offsets on the wall so that the beams would not be embedded in the walls of the house. 7 The house, when it was being built, was constructed of finished stone cut from the quarry, so that no hammer or axe or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built. 8 The entrance to the lowest side chamber was on the south side of the house, with stairs going up to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third. 9 So he built the house and finished it, and he covered the house with beams and rows of cedar boards. 10 He also built the annex against the entire house, five cubits high, and it was attached to the house with cedar beams. 11 Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying: 12 Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and carry out my ordinances, and keep all my commandments by walking in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father. 13 And I will dwell among the people of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel. 14 So Solomon built the house and completed it. 15 He built the walls of the house on the inside with cedar boards, from the floor of the house to the ceiling, overlaying the interior with wood, and he covered the floor of the house with cypress planks. 16 He built twenty cubits at the rear of the house with cedar boards, from the floor to the walls, to form the inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 17 The main hall in front of the inner sanctuary was forty cubits long. 18 The cedar within the house was carved with gourds and open flowers. All was cedar; no stone could be seen. 19 He prepared the inner sanctuary inside the house to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there. 20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar. 21 Solomon overlaid the interior of the house with pure gold, and he placed gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which he also overlaid with gold. 22 So the entire house was overlaid with gold until the entire house was finished. He also overlaid the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold. 23 In the inner sanctuary, he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits and the other wing was five cubits, making a total of ten cubits from wingtip to wingtip. 25 The second cherub was also ten cubits; both cherubim had the same size and shape. 26 The height of the first cherub was ten cubits, and so was the height of the second cherub. 27 He placed the cherubim in the inner house, and their wings were spread out. One wing of each cherub touched one wall, and their other wings touched each other in the center of the house. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold. 29 He decorated the walls of the house all around with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, both in the inner and outer rooms. 30 He also overlaid the floor of the house with gold, both the inner and the outer rooms. 31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood; the doorposts formed a pentagon. 32 The two doors were made of olive wood, and he carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread the gold over the cherubim and the palm trees. 33 In the same way, he made doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall. They were four-sided. 34 The two doors were of cypress wood. Each door had two folding panels; one door had two folding sections, and the other door also had two folding sections. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and he overlaid the carvings with evenly applied gold. 36 He built the inner courtyard with three rows of hewn stone and a row of cedar beams. 37 In the fourth year, in the month of Ziv (the second month), the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. 38 In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul (the eighth month), the house was completed in every detail according to its specifications. Solomon built it in seven years. 1 Solomon built his palace over the course of thirteen years, completing its construction entirely. 2 He constructed the House of the Forest of Lebanon, which was one hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, supported by four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on top of the columns. 3 It was paneled with cedar above the chambers that rested on the forty-five pillars, with fifteen pillars in each row. 4 There were three rows of window frames positioned opposite each other on three levels. 5 All the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames, with openings placed directly opposite each other in three tiers. 6 He made the Hall of Pillars, which was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of the pillars and a canopy above them. 7 He also made the Hall of the Throne, known as the Hall of Judgment, where he would judge. It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the ceiling. 8 His own palace where he would reside, in another court behind the Hall, was built similarly. Solomon also built a palace for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married, following the same design as the Hall. 9 All these buildings were made from costly stones, cut to size and sawed with a saw, from the foundations to the coping, and from the outside to the great courtyard. 10 The foundation was made of large, costly stones, with some measuring ten cubits and others eight cubits. 11 Above were precious stones cut to measure, along with cedar wood. 12 The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of hewn stone and one row of cedar beams, similar in design to the inner courtyard of the Lord's house and its portico. 13 King Solomon sent for Hiram from Tyre. 14 Hiram was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a craftsman from Tyre who worked with bronze. Hiram was endowed with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to perform all kinds of craftsmanship in bronze. He came to King Solomon and carried out all the assigned work. 15 Hiram cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high, and a cord measuring twelve cubits circled around each pillar.

It will be dedicated to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, arranging the bread of presence continuously, and offering burnt offerings every morning and evening, on Sabbaths, new moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God.
