Young's Literal Translation
In the four hundred and eightieth year after
the Israelites
had
come
out of the land of Egypt, in the month of Ziv
, the second month of the fourth
year
of Solomon’s
reign
over Israel, he began
to
build
the house of
the
LORD
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the four hundred and eightieth year of
the going
out of the sons
of
Israel
from
the
land of Egypt, in the fourth
year
--
in
the
month of Zif
, it
`is'
the second month --
of the reigning
of Solomon
over Israel, that
he buildeth
the house for
Jehovah
.
The house that King Solomon built for the
LORD
was
sixty cubits long
, twenty cubits
wide
, and thirty cubits high
.
As
to
the house that king Solomon hath
built for Jehovah,
sixty cubits `is'
its
length
, and
twenty its
breadth
, and thirty cubits its
height
.
The portico
at
the front of the main
hall
of the temple
was
twenty cubits long,
extending
across
the width
of the temple
and
projecting
out
ten cubits
in
front of the temple.
As
to
the porch
on
the front of the temple
of the house,
twenty cubits `is'
its
length
on
the front
of the breadth
of
the
house;
ten by
the
cubit
`is'
its
breadth
on
the
front of the house;
He also
had
narrow
windows
framed
high
in
the temple
.
and
he maketh
for
the house
windows
of
narrow
lights
.
Against the walls
of the temple
and
the inner
sanctuary
, Solomon
built
a
chambered
structure
around
the temple ,
in
which
he
constructed
the side
rooms
.
And
he
buildeth
against the wall
of the house
a
couch
round
about,
`even'
the walls
of
the
house
round
about
, of
the temple and
of
the oracle,
and
maketh
sides
round
about
.
The bottom
floor
was
five
cubits
wide
, the middle floor
six
cubits
, and the third floor
seven cubits.
He
also
placed
offset
ledges
around
the outside
of
the temple
, so
that
nothing
would
be
inserted
into
its
walls.
The lowest
couch
, five
by
the cubit
`is'
its
breadth;
and
the
middle, six
by
the
cubit
`is'
its
breadth;
and the third ,
seven by
the cubit
`is'
its
breadth,
for
withdrawings
he
hath
put
to
the house
round
about
, without
--
not
to
lay
hold
on
the
walls of
the
house
.
The
temple
was
constructed
using
finished
stones
cut
at
the quarry
, so
that
no
hammer or
chisel
or
any other
iron tool
was heard in the temple
while
it
was
being built.
And
the house
, in
its
being
built,
of
perfect
stone
brought
`thither'
hath
been
built,
and
hammer ,
and
the
axe
--
any instrument
of
iron --
was not
heard in the house,
in
its
being built.
The entrance
to
the
bottom
floor
was
on
the south
side of the temple.
A
stairway
led
up to
the middle level
, and from there
to
the third floor
.
The opening
of
the middle
side `is'
at
the
right
shoulder
of the house,
and
with
windings
they
go
up on
the middle one
, and from the middle
one
unto
the
third.
So
Solomon
built
the temple
and finished
it, roofing
it
with beams and planks
of cedar
.
And
he
buildeth
the house,
and completeth
it, and
covereth
the
house
`
with '
beams and rows
of cedars
.
He built
chambers
all along
the temple
, each
five cubits high
and attached
to
the
temple
with
beams
of cedar.
And
he buildeth
the
couch
against
all the house
, five cubits `is'
its
height,
and it
taketh
hold
of the
house
by
cedar -wood
.
Then
the word of the
LORD
came
to
Solomon, saying :
And
the word of Jehovah
is
unto
Solomon, saying ,
“As
for
this temple
you
are
building ,
if you
walk in My statutes, carry
out
My ordinances
, and
keep
all My commandments
by
walking
in them, I will
fulfill
through
you
the
promise
I made
to
your
father
David .
`
This house
that
thou
art
building --
if thou
dost
walk in My statutes, and
My judgments
dost
do
, yea,
hast
done
all My commands,
to
walk
in them, then
I have
established
My
word
with
thee,
which
I spake
unto
David thy
father,
And I
will
dwell
among
the Israelites
and will
not abandon
My people Israel. ”
and have
tabernacled
in
the midst
of
the
sons
of
Israel,
and do
not forsake
My people Israel. '
So
Solomon built
the temple
and finished
it .
And
Solomon buildeth
the house
and completeth
it ;
He lined
the interior
walls with cedar paneling
from the floor of the temple
to
the ceiling, and he
covered
the floor with cypress
boards
.
and
he buildeth
the walls of
the
house
within
with beams
of
cedar ,
from the floor of the house
unto
the walls
of
the
ceiling ;
he
hath
overlaid
with
wood
the
inside
, and covereth
the floor of
the
house
with ribs
of
fir
.
He partitioned
off
the twenty cubits at
the rear
of the temple
with cedar boards
from floor to
ceiling
to
form
within the temple
an
inner
sanctuary
, the Most
Holy Place
.
And
he buildeth
the twenty cubits on
the sides
of the house
with ribs
of
cedar ,
from the
floor unto
the
walls;
and
he
buildeth
for
it
within ,
for
the oracle
, for
the holy of
holies
.
And the main
hall
in
front
of
this
room
was forty
cubits
long
.
And forty
by
the cubit
was the
house,
it
`is'
the
temple
before
`it'
.
The cedar paneling
inside
the temple
was
carved
with
gourds
and open
flowers .
Everything
was
cedar
; not a stone could
be
seen.
And
the cedar for
the house
within
`is'
carvings
of
knobs
and openings
of
flowers; the
whole
`is'
cedar,
there
is
not a stone seen.
Solomon
also
prepared
the inner
sanctuary
within
the temple
to set
the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
there
.
And
the oracle
in
the midst
of
the
house
within
he
hath
prepared,
to put
there
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
.
The inner
sanctuary
was
twenty cubits long
, twenty cubits wide
, and twenty cubits high.
He overlaid
the
inside
with pure
gold, and he
also
overlaid
the altar of
cedar.
And
before
the oracle
`is'
twenty cubits in
length
, and
twenty cubits in
breadth
, and twenty cubits `is'
its
height;
and
he overlayeth
it
with gold refined
, and overlayeth
the altar with
cedar.
So
Solomon overlaid
the
inside
of
the temple
with pure
gold, and he
extended
gold
chains across
the
front
of the inner
sanctuary
, which
was
overlaid
with gold.
And
Solomon overlayeth
the house
within
with gold refined
, and causeth
`it'
to
pass
over
in
chains of gold
before
the oracle
, and
overlayeth
it
with gold.
So
he overlaid with gold the whole interior
of the temple
, until
everything
was
completely
finished.
He also
overlaid with gold the
entire
altar
that
belonged
to
the
inner
sanctuary
.
And
the
whole
of
the
house
he hath
overlaid with gold ,
till
the completion
of
all
the
house;
and
the
whole of the altar
that
the
oracle
hath
, he hath
overlaid with gold.
In
the
inner
sanctuary
he made
two cherubim
, each
ten cubits high,
out
of
olive
wood.
And
he maketh
within
the
oracle
two cherubs
, of
the
oil-tree,
ten cubits `is'
their
height;
One wing of the first
cherub was
five
cubits
long
, and the
other
wing
was
five cubits long
as
well.
So
the full
wingspan
was
ten cubits .
and
five
cubits
`is'
the
one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second
wing
of
the
cherub,
ten cubits from
the
ends
of
its
wings
even
unto
the
ends
of
its
wings;
The second cherub also
measured
ten
cubits;
both
cherubim
had
the
same
size
and shape
,
and
ten
by
the cubit
`is'
the
second cherub ,
one
measure
and one
form
`are'
to
the
two
cherubs
,
and
the height of each
cherub was
ten cubits.
the height of the
one
cherub `is'
ten by
the
cubit,
and
so
`is'
the
second
cherub;
And he placed
the cherubim
inside
the innermost
room
of the temple.
Since
their
wings
were
spread out ,
the wing of the first
cherub
touched
one wall, while
the
wing of the second cherub touched
the other
wall, and in
the middle
of the room
their
wingtips
touched.
and he setteth
the cherubs
in
the midst
of the inner
house,
and
they
spread out the wings
of
the
cherubs,
and
a
wing of the one cometh
against
the
wall, and
a
wing of the second cherub is
coming
against
the second
wall, and their
wings
`are'
unto
the midst
of the house,
coming
wing
against
wing;
He also
overlaid
the cherubim
with gold .
and
he overlayeth
the cherubs
with gold ,
Then
he
carved
the
walls
all around
the temple,
in
both
the inner
and
outer
sanctuaries,
with
carved engravings
of cherubim
, palm trees, and open
flowers.
and
all the walls
of
the house
round
about
he
hath
carved with
openings
of carvings
, cherubs,
and
palm trees, and openings
of
flowers ,
within
and
without
.
And he
overlaid
the temple
floor with gold in
both
the
inner
and outer
sanctuaries.
And the floor of
the
house
he
hath
overlaid
with gold ,
within
and without;
For
the
entrance
to the inner
sanctuary
, Solomon
constructed
doors of olive
wood
with
five
- sided
doorposts
.
as
to the opening
of
the
oracle
, he
made
doors of the
oil
- tree;
the
lintel,
side-posts,
a
fifth
.
The double
doors were
made
of olive
wood
, and he carved into
them cherubim
, palm trees, and open
flowers and overlaid the cherubim
and palm trees with
hammered
gold
.
And
the two
doors `are'
of the
oil-tree
, and he hath
carved upon
them carvings
of
cherubs
, and
palm -
trees, and openings
of
flowers ,
and overlaid with
gold,
and
he
causeth
the gold
to
go
down
on
the
cherubs
and on
the
palm -
trees.
In
the
same
way
he made four
- sided
doorposts
of olive
wood
for
the sanctuary
entrance
.
And
so
he hath
made for
the
opening
of
the
temple,
side
- posts
of the oil-tree,
from
the
fourth
.
The two doors were
made
of cypress
wood
, and each
had
two folding
panels
.
And
the two doors `are'
of fir-tree
, the
two
sides
of
the
one
door
are
revolving,
and the
two hangings
of
the
second
door
are
revolving
.
He carved into
them
cherubim
, palm
trees
, and open
flowers ;
and he
overlaid them
with gold ,
hammered
evenly
over
the carvings
.
And
he hath
carved cherubs
, and
palms
, and openings
of
flowers ,
and overlaid with straightened
gold the graved
work
.
Solomon
built
the inner courtyard
with
three rows of dressed
stone
and one
row of trimmed
cedar
beams.
And
he
buildeth
the inner court,
three rows of hewn
work,
and a
row of beams of
cedar
.
The
foundation
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
was
laid
in the fourth year of Solomon’s
reign
, in the month of
Ziv.
In the fourth year hath
the
house
of Jehovah
been
founded
, in the month Zif,
In his
eleventh year and
eighth
month
, the month of
Bul ,
the temple
was
finished in every
detail
and according
to
every
specification.
So
he
built
the
temple
in seven years.
and
in the
eleventh year, in
the month Bul --
`that
is'
the eighth
month
--
hath
the
house
been
finished in all
its
matters,
and in all
its
ordinances,
and
he
buildeth
it
seven years.
