chapter 3
1
And
Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria,
which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared
in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 And he began to build in the second month, in the
fourth year of his reign.
3 Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to
build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the
breadth twenty cubits.
4 And the porch in the front, which was extended in
length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and
the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure
gold.
5 And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and
overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm
trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 He paved also the floor of the temple with most
precious marble, of great beauty.
7 And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the
house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was
of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 He made also the house of the holy of holies: the
length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the
breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of
gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every
nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 He made also in the house of the holy of holies two
cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty
cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the
house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the
other cherub.
12 In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was
five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long,
and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth,
and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and
their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and
silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 He made also before the doors of the temple two
pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five
cubits.
16 He made also as it were little chains in the oracle,
and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which
he put between the little chains.
17 These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple,
one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right
hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
