Then Solomon{H8010} began{H2490}{(H8686)} to build{H1129}{(H8800)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} at Jerusalem{H3389} in mount{H2022} Moriah{H4179}, where the LORD appeared{H7200}{(H8738)} unto David{H1732} his father{H1}, in the place{H4725} that David{H1732} had prepared{H3559}{(H8689)} in the threshingfloor{H1637} of Ornan{H771} the Jebusite{H2983}.

And he began{H2490}{(H8686)} to build{H1129}{(H8800)} in the second{H8145} day of the second{H8145} month{H2320}, in the fourth{H702} year{H8141} of his reign{H4438}.

Now these are the things wherein Solomon{H8010} was instructed{H3245}{(H8717)} for the building{H1129}{(H8800)} of the house{H1004} of God{H430}. The length{H753} by cubits{H520} after the first{H7223} measure{H4060} was threescore{H8346} cubits{H520}, and the breadth{H7341} twenty{H6242} cubits{H520}.

And the porch{H197} that was in the front{H6440} of the house, the length{H753} of it was according to the breadth{H7341} of the house{H1004}, twenty{H6242} cubits{H520}, and the height{H1363} was an hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242}: and he overlaid{H6823}{(H8762)} it within{H6441} with pure{H2889} gold{H2091}.

And the greater{H1419} house{H1004} he cieled{H2645}{(H8765)} with fir{H1265} tree{H6086}, which he overlaid{H2645}{(H8762)} with fine{H2896} gold{H2091}, and set{H5927}{(H8686)} thereon palm trees{H8561} and chains{H8333}.

And he garnished{H6823}{(H8762)} the house{H1004} with precious{H3368} stones{H68} for beauty{H8597}: and the gold{H2091} was gold{H2091} of Parvaim{H6516}.

He overlaid{H2645}{(H8762)} also the house{H1004}, the beams{H6982}, the posts{H5592}, and the walls{H7023} thereof, and the doors{H1817} thereof, with gold{H2091}; and graved{H6605}{(H8765)} cherubims{H3742} on the walls{H7023}.

And he made{H6213}{(H8799)} the most{H6944} holy{H6944} house{H1004}, the length{H753} whereof was according to{H6440} the breadth{H7341} of the house{H1004}, twenty{H6242} cubits{H520}, and the breadth{H7341} thereof twenty{H6242} cubits{H520}: and he overlaid{H2645}{(H8762)} it with fine{H2896} gold{H2091}, amounting to six{H8337} hundred{H3967} talents{H3603}.

And the weight{H4948} of the nails{H4548} was fifty{H2572} shekels{H8255} of gold{H2091}. And he overlaid{H2645}{(H8765)} the upper chambers{H5944} with gold{H2091}.

And in the most{H6944} holy{H6944} house{H1004} he made{H6213}{(H8799)} two{H8147} cherubims{H3742} of image{H6816} work{H4639}, and overlaid{H6823}{(H8762)} them with gold{H2091}.

And the wings{H3671} of the cherubims{H3742} were twenty{H6242} cubits{H520} long{H753}: one{H259} wing{H3671} of the one cherub was five{H2568} cubits{H520}, reaching{H5060}{(H8688)} to the wall{H7023} of the house{H1004}: and the other{H312} wing{H3671} was likewise five{H2568} cubits{H520}, reaching{H5060}{(H8688)} to the wing{H3671} of the other{H312} cherub{H3742}.

And one wing{H3671} of the other{H259} cherub{H3742} was five{H2568} cubits{H520}, reaching{H5060}{(H8688)} to the wall{H7023} of the house{H1004}: and the other{H312} wing{H3671} was five{H2568} cubits{H520} also, joining{H1695} to the wing{H3671} of the other{H312} cherub{H3742}.

The wings{H3671} of these cherubims{H3742} spread themselves forth{H6566}{(H8802)} twenty{H6242} cubits{H520}: and they stood{H5975}{(H8802)} on their feet{H7272}, and their faces{H6440} were inward{H1004}.

And he made{H6213}{(H8799)} the vail{H6532} of blue{H8504}, and purple{H713}, and crimson{H3758}, and fine linen{H948}, and wrought{H5927}{(H8686)} cherubims{H3742} thereon.

Also he made{H6213}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the house{H1004} two{H8147} pillars{H5982} of thirty{H7970} and five{H2568} cubits{H520} high{H753}, and the chapiter{H6858} that was on the top{H7218} of each of them was five{H2568} cubits{H520}.

And he made{H6213}{(H8799)} chains{H8333}, as in the oracle{H1687}, and put{H5414}{(H8799)} them on the heads{H7218} of the pillars{H5982}; and made{H6213}{(H8799)} an hundred{H3967} pomegranates{H7416}, and put{H5414}{(H8799)} them on the chains{H8333}.

And he reared up{H6965}{(H8686)} the pillars{H5982} before{H6440} the temple{H1964}, one{H259} on the right hand{H3225}, and the other{H259} on the left{H8040}; and called{H7121}{(H8799)} the name{H8034} of that on the right hand{H3233}{(H8675)}{H3227} Jachin{H3199}, and the name{H8034} of that on the left{H8042} Boaz{H1162}.
