1 Kings 6:1 ¶ It happened in the four702 hundred3967 and eightieth8084 year8141 after the children1121 of Israel3478 had come out3318 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the fourth7243 year8141 of Solomon's8010 reign4427 over Israel,3478 in the month2320 Ziv,2099 which is the second8145 month,2320 that he began to build1129 the house1004 of Yahweh.30682 The house1004 which king4428 Solomon8010 built1129 for Yahweh,3068 its length753 was sixty8346 cubits,520 and its breadth7341 twenty,6242 and its height6967 thirty7970 cubits.5203 The porch197 before6440 the temple1964 of the house,1004 twenty6242 cubits520 was its length,753 according to the breadth7341 of the house.1004 Ten6235 cubits520 was its breadth7341 before the house.10044 For the house1004 he made6213 windows2474 of fixed331 lattice work.82615 Against the wall7023 of the house1004 he built1129 stories3326 all around,5439 against the walls7023 of the house1004 all around,5439 both of the temple1964 and of the oracle;1687 and he made6213 side rooms6763 all around.54396 The nethermost8481 story3326 was five2568 cubits520 broad,7341 and the middle8484 was six8337 cubits520 broad,7341 and the third7992 was seven7651 cubits520 broad;7341 for on the outside he made5414 offsets4052 in the wall of2351 the house1004 all around,5439 that the beams should not have hold270 in the walls7023 of the house.10047 The house,1004 when it was in building,1129 was built1129 of stone68 prepared8003 at the quarry;4551 and there was neither hammer4717 nor axe1631 nor any tool3627 of iron1270 heard8085 in the house,1004 while it was in building.11298 The door6607 for the middle8484 side rooms6763 was in the right3233 side3802 of the house:1004 and they went up5927 by winding stairs3883 into the middle8484 story, and out of the middle8484 into the third.79929 So he built1129 the house,1004 and finished3615 it; and he covered5603 the house1004 with beams1356 and planks7713 of cedar.73010 He built1129 the stories3326 against all the house,1004 each five2568 cubits520 high:6967 and they rested270 on the house1004 with timber6086 of cedar.730
1 Kings 6:11 ¶ The word1697 of Yahweh3068 came to Solomon,8010 saying,55912 "Concerning this house1004 which you are building,1129 if you will walk3212 in my statutes,2708 and execute6213 my ordinances,4941 and keep8104 all my commandments4687 to walk3212 in them; then will I establish6965 my word1697 with you, which I spoke1696 to David1732 your father.113 I will dwell7931 among8432 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and will not forsake5800 my people5971 Israel."3478
1 Kings 6:14 ¶ So Solomon8010 built1129 the house,1004 and finished3615 it.
15 He built1129 the walls7023 of the house1004 within1004 with boards6763 of cedar:730 from the floor7172 of the house1004 to the walls7023 of the ceiling,5604 he covered6823 them on the inside1004 with wood;6086 and he covered6823 the floor7172 of the house1004 with boards6763 of fir.126516 He built1129 twenty6242 cubits520 on the hinder3411 part of the house1004 with4480 boards6763 of cedar730 from the floor7172 to7023 the ceiling: he built1129 them for it within,1004 for an oracle,1687 even for the most6944 holy6944 place.
17 In front3942 of the temple1964 sanctuary1004 was forty705 cubits.52018 There was cedar730 on the house1004 within,6441 carved4734 with buds6497 and open6362 flowers:6731 all was cedar;730 there was no stone68 seen.720019 He prepared3559 an oracle1687 in8432 the midst of the house1004 within,6441 to set5414 there the ark727 of the covenant1285 of Yahweh.306820 Within6440 the oracle1687 was twenty6242 cubits520 in length,753 and twenty6242 cubits520 in breadth,7341 and twenty6242 cubits520 in its height;6967 and he overlaid6823 it with pure5462 gold:2091 and he covered6823 the altar4196 with cedar.73021 So Solomon8010 overlaid6823 the house1004 within6441 with pure5462 gold:2091 and he drew5674 chains7572 of gold2091 across before6440 the oracle;1687 and he overlaid6823 it with gold.209122 The whole house1004 he overlaid6823 with gold,2091 until all the house1004 was finished:8552 also the whole altar4196 that belonged to the oracle1687 he overlaid6823 with gold.209123 In the oracle1687 he made6213 two8147 cherubim3742{“Cherubim” is plural of “cherub”, an angelic being.} of olive8081 wood,6086 each ten6235 cubits520 high.696724 Five2568 cubits520 was the one259 wing3671 of the cherub,3742 and five2568 cubits520 the other8145 wing3671 of the cherub:3742 from the uttermost part7098 of the one wing3671 to the uttermost part7098 of the other3671 were ten6235 cubits.52025 The other8145 cherub3742 was ten6235 cubits:520 both8147 the cherubim3742 were of one259 measure4060 and one259 form.709526 The height6967 of the one259 cherub3742 was ten6235 cubits,520 and so was it of the other8145 cherub.374227 He set5414 the cherubim3742 within8432 the inner6442 house;1004 and the wings3671 of the cherubim3742 were stretched forth,6566 so that the wing3671 of the one259 touched5060 the one wall,7023 and the wing3671 of the other8145 cherub3742 touched5060 the other8145 wall;7023 and their wings3671 touched5060 one3671 another3671 in the midst8432 of the house.100428 He overlaid6823 the cherubim3742 with gold.209129 He carved7049 all the walls7023 of the house1004 around4524 with carved6603 figures4734 of cherubim3742 and palm trees8561 and open6362 flowers,6731 inside6441 and outside.243530 The floor7172 of the house1004 he overlaid6823 with gold,2091 inside6441 and outside.243531 For the entrance6607 of the oracle1687 he made6213 doors1817 of olive8081 wood:6086 the lintel352 and door posts4201 were a fifth part2549 of the wall.
32 So he made two8147 doors1817 of olive8081 wood;6086 and he carved7049 on them carvings4734 of cherubim3742 and palm trees8561 and open6362 flowers,6731 and overlaid6823 them with gold;2091 and he spread7286 the gold2091 on the cherubim,3742 and on the palm trees.856133 So also made6213 he for the entrance6607 of the temple1964 door posts4201 of olive8081 wood,6086 out of a fourth part7243 of the wall;
34 and two8147 doors1817 of fir1265 wood:6086 the two8147 leaves6763 of the one259 door1817 were folding,1550 and the two8147 leaves7050 of the other8145 door1817 were folding.155035 He carved7049 cherubim3742 and palm trees8561 and open6362 flowers;6731 and he overlaid6823 them with gold2091 fitted3474 on the engraved work.270736 He built1129 the inner6442 court2691 with three7969 courses2905 of cut stone,1496 and a course2905 of cedar730 beams.377337 In the fourth7243 year8141 was the foundation3245 of the house1004 of Yahweh3068 laid,3245 in the month3391 Ziv.209938 In the eleventh259 year,8141 in the month3391 Bul,945 which is the eighth8066 month,3391 was the house1004 finished3615 throughout all its parts,1697 and according to all its fashion.4941 So was he seven7651 years8141 in building1129 it.
