Young's Literal Translation
Solomon ,
however,
took
thirteen years to
complete
the
construction
of
his entire
palace
.
And
his
own
house
hath
Solomon built
thirteen years ,
and
he
finisheth
all
his house
.
He built
the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long
, fifty cubits wide
, and thirty cubits high
, with
four rows of cedar pillars supporting
the
cedar beams .
And
he buildeth
the house of the forest of Lebanon ;
a hundred cubits `is'
its
length
, and
fifty cubits its
breadth
, and thirty cubits its
height
, on
four rows of cedar pillars ,
and
cedar -
beams on
the
pillars;
The
house
was
roofed
with cedar above the beams
that rested
on the pillars—
forty -
five beams
, fifteen per
row.
and
`it
is'
covered
with cedar above ,
on
the sides
that `are'
on the forty and
five pillars
, fifteen in
the
row.
There
were
three
rows
of
high
windows facing
one
another
in three tiers
.
And
windows `are'
in three rows,
and
sight
`is'
over-against
sight
three
times
.
All the doorways
had
rectangular
frames,
with
the
openings facing
one
another
in
three tiers
.
And
all the openings and
the
side-posts
`are'
square
--
windows;
and
sight
`is'
over-against
sight
three times
.
Solomon
made his
colonnade
fifty cubits long
and thirty cubits wide
, with
a
portico
in
front
of
it
and a
canopy
with
pillars
in
front
of
the portico
.
And
the
porch
of
the
pillars
he
hath
made ;
fifty cubits its
length,
and thirty cubits its
breadth
, and the porch
`is'
before
them,
and
pillars
and
a
thick
place
`are'
before
them
.
In
addition,
he
built
a
hall
for
the throne ,
the Hall
of Justice,
where
he was
to
judge.
It was
paneled
with cedar from floor to
ceiling
.
And
the porch
of
the
throne where
he
judgeth
--
the porch
of judgment
--
he hath
made,
and
`
it is'
covered
with cedar from the
floor unto
the
floor
.
And
the
palace
where Solomon
would
live,
set
further
back,
was
of
similar
construction.
He also
made
a
palace
like
this hall
for Pharaoh’s
daughter ,
whom he
had
married
.
As
to
his
house
where he dwelleth,
the
other
court
`is'
within
the
porch
--
as
this work
it
hath
been;
and
a
house
he
maketh
for the
daughter of
Pharaoh
--
whom Solomon
hath
taken
--
like
this
porch
.
All these buildings
were
constructed
with
costly
stones
, cut
to size
and
trimmed
with saws
inside
and out
from the foundation to
the eaves
, and from
the outside to
the great courtyard
.
All these `are'
of
precious
stone
, according
to the
measures
of
hewn
work,
sawn
with a
saw,
within
and without,
even
from the foundation unto
the coping
, and at
the outside ,
unto
the great court
.
The foundations
were
laid
with
large
, costly
stones, some
ten cubits long
and some
eight cubits long.
And
the foundation
`is'
of
precious
stone
, great
stones, stones
of
ten cubits ,
and stones
of
eight cubits ;
Above these
were
high-grade
stones
, cut
to size
, and cedar beams.
and
above `are'
precious
stone
, according
to the
measures
of
hewn
work
, and cedar ;
The great courtyard
was
surrounded
by
three rows of dressed
stone
and a row of trimmed
cedar beams, as
were
the inner courtyard
and
portico
of the house of the LORD
.
and
the great court
round
about
`is'
three rows of hewn
work,
and a row of cedar -
beams, even
for
the inner court
of the house of Jehovah,
and
for
the porch
of
the
house
.
Now
King Solomon sent
to
bring
Huram
from
Tyre .
And
king Solomon sendeth
and
taketh
Hiram
out
of
Tyre --
He was
the
son of a widow from
the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was
a man of Tyre, a craftsman
in bronze.
Huram
had
great
skill
, understanding, and knowledge for
every
kind
of
bronze
work .
So
he came
to
King Solomon and carried
out
all his work.
he `is'
son of a woman,
a
widow ,
of
the tribe of Naphtali, and his father a man of Tyre, a worker
in brass
, and
he
is
filled
with
the
wisdom
and
the
understanding, and the
knowledge to
do
all
work in
brass
--
and
he cometh
unto
king Solomon ,
and doth
all his work.
He cast
two pillars of bronze,
each
eighteen cubits high
and twelve cubits in
circumference
.
And
he formeth
the
two pillars of brass;
eighteen cubits `is'
the
height
of
the
one
pillar,
and a
cord
of
twelve cubits doth
compass
the
second
pillar
.
He also
made two
capitals
of
cast
bronze
to set
on top
of the pillars, each
capital
five cubits high
.
And
two
chapiters
he hath
made to put
on the
tops
of the pillars, cast
in
brass;
five cubits the
height
of
the
one
chapiter,
and
five
cubits
the
height
of
the
second
chapiter
.
For the capitals
on top of the pillars he
made
a
network
of
lattice
, with
wreaths
of
chainwork
, seven for each
capital
.
Nets
of
net-work,
wreaths
of
chain-work
`are'
for the chapiters
that
`are'
on the
top of the pillars, seven
for
the
one
chapiter
, and
seven for the
second
chapiter
.
Likewise,
he made
the pillars with
two rows of
pomegranates
around
each
grating
to cover each
capital
atop
the pillars
.
And
he maketh
the pillars ,
and
two rows round
about
on
the
one
net-work,
to cover the chapiters
that
`are'
on
the
top,
with
the
pomegranates,
and
so
he
hath
made
for
the
second
chapiter
.
And the capitals
atop
the pillars in the portico
were
shaped
like
lilies
, four cubits high.
And the chapiters
that
`are'
on
the top
of
the
pillars `are'
of
lily-work
in the porch
, four cubits ;
On the capitals
of
both
pillars ,
just
above the rounded
projection
next
to
the network,
were
the two hundred pomegranates
in rows encircling
each
capital
.
and
the
chapiters
on the two
pillars also
above ,
over-against
the protuberance
that
`is'
beside
the net;
and
the pomegranates
`are'
two hundred ,
in rows round
about
on
the
second
chapiter
.
Thus
he set
up the pillars at
the portico
of the temple .
The pillar to
the
south
he
named
Jachin, and the pillar to
the
north
he
named
Boaz .
And
he raiseth
up the pillars for
the porch
of the temple ,
and
he
raiseth
up
the right
pillar ,
and
calleth
its
name
Jachin, and he
raiseth
up
the left
pillar ,
and
calleth
its
name
Boaz ;
And the tops
of the pillars were
shaped
like
lilies.
So
the work of the pillars was
completed.
and on
the top
of the pillars `is'
lily-work;
and
the work of the pillars `is'
completed.
He also
made
the Sea of
cast
metal.
It
was
circular
in
shape
, measuring
ten cubits
from rim
to
rim
, five cubits
in
height, and thirty cubits
in
circumference.
And
he maketh
the molten
sea, ten by
the
cubit
from its
edge
unto
its
edge;
`it
is'
round
all
about
, and
five by
the
cubit
`is'
its
height, and a
line
of
thirty by
the
cubit
doth
compass
it
round
about;
Below
the
rim,
ornamental
buds
encircled
it, ten per
cubit
all
the way
around
the Sea ,
cast
in two rows as
a
part
of
the Sea
.
and
knops
beneath
its
brim
round
about
are
compassing
it, ten by
the cubit,
going
round
the sea round
about;
in two rows `are'
the knops,
cast
in
its
being
cast
.
The
Sea
stood
on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east .
The Sea rested
on
them, with
all their hindquarters
toward
the
center
.
It
is
standing
on twelve oxen, three facing the
north, and
three facing the
west, and
three facing the
south, and three facing the
east ,
and
the sea `is'
upon
them above
, and
all their hinder
parts
`are'
inward
.
It
was
a
handbreadth thick
, and its rim
was
fashioned
like
the brim
of a cup, like
a
lily
blossom.
It
could
hold
two thousand baths.
And
its
thickness
`is'
an
handbreadth, and its edge
as
the work
of the
edge
of
a cup, flowers
of
lilies;
two thousand baths it
containeth
.
In
addition,
he made
ten movable
stands
of bronze,
each
four cubits
long
, four cubits
wide
, and three cubits
high
.
And
he maketh
the
ten bases
of brass;
four by
the
cubit
`is'
the
length
of
the
one
base
, and
four by
the
cubit
its
breadth
, and three by
the
cubit
its
height
.
This was
the design
of the stands
: They had
side
panels
attached
to
uprights
,
And
this `is'
the work
of the base
: they have
borders
, and
the
borders
`are'
between
the
joinings;
and on the panels
between the uprights
were
lions, oxen, and cherubim.
On the uprights
was
a pedestal
above, and below
the lions and oxen were
wreaths
of
beveled
work.
and on the borders
that
`are'
between the joinings
`are'
lions, oxen, and cherubs,
and
on the joinings
a base
above, and beneath
the lions and the
oxen `are'
additions
--
sloping
work.
Each
stand
had
four bronze
wheels with
bronze
axles and a
basin
resting
on
four supports
, with
wreaths
at
each side
.
And
four wheels of
brass
`are'
to
the
one
base,
and
axles of
brass;
and its
four corners
have
shoulders
--
under
the
laver
`are'
the
molten
shoulders
, beside
each addition
.
The
opening
to
each
stand
inside
the crown
at
the top
was
one
cubit deep
, with
a
round opening
like
the design
of a
pedestal
, a cubit and a
half wide.
And around
its opening
were
engravings
, but
the
panels
of
the
stands
were
square, not round.
And
its
mouth
within
the chapiter
and
above
`is'
by
the cubit, and
its
mouth
`is'
round ,
the work
of the
base
, a cubit and half a
cubit;
and also
on
its mouth
`are'
carvings
and
their
borders
, square, not round.
There
were
four wheels under the panels
, and the axles
of the wheels were
attached
to
the stand;
each
wheel was
a cubit and a
half in
diameter
.
And
the
four wheels `are'
under the borders
, and the spokes
of the wheels `are'
in
the base,
and
the
height
of
the
one
wheel `is'
a cubit and half a
cubit
.
The wheels were
made
like
chariot wheels;
their axles
, rims
, spokes
, and hubs
were
all
of
cast
metal
.
And
the work
of
the
wheels `is'
as
the
work
of
the
wheel
of
a
chariot ,
their spokes
, and
their
axles
, and
their
felloes
, and their
naves;
the
whole
`is'
molten
.
Each
stand
had
four handles,
one for
each
corner,
projecting
from
the stand
.
And
four shoulders
`are'
unto
the
four
corners
of
the
one base;
out
of
the base
`are'
its
shoulders
.
At
the top of each
stand
was
a
circular
band
half a cubit high.
The supports
and panels
were
cast
as
a
unit
with
the top of the stand
.
And
in
the top of the
base
`is'
the
half of
a cubit in
the height
all
round
about;
and on
the top of the base
its
spokes
and
its
borders
`are'
of
the
same
.
He engraved
cherubim
, lions, and palm trees on
the surfaces
of the
supports
and
panels,
wherever
each had
space
, with
wreaths
all
around
.
And
he openeth
on
the
tablets
of
its
spokes
, and
on
its
borders,
cherubs,
lions, and palm -
trees ,
according
to
the void
space
of each, and
additions
round
about
.
In
this
way
he made the ten stands,
each
with
the
same
casting, dimensions
, and
shape
.
Thus
he hath
made the ten bases;
one
casting, one
measure
, one
form,
have
they
all
.
He also
made
ten bronze
basins,
each
holding
forty baths and
measuring
four cubits
across
, one basin
for
each
of
the ten stands.
And
he maketh
ten lavers
of
brass;
forty baths doth
the
one
laver
contain,
four by
the
cubit
`is'
the
one
laver
, one laver
on
the one
base
`is'
to
the
ten bases;
He set
five stands
on the south
side of the temple
and five on the north
, and he
put
the Sea on the south
side ,
at
the
southeast
corner
of the temple
.
and
he putteth
the
five bases
on the right
side of the house,
and five on the left
side
of
the
house
, and the sea he
hath
put
on the right
side of the house,
eastward
--
over-against
the
south
.
Additionally,
Huram
made
the pots
, shovels, and sprinkling
bowls .
So
Huram
finished
all the work that he had
undertaken
for King Solomon in
the house of the
LORD:
And
Hiram
maketh
the lavers
, and
the
shovels, and the
bowls ;
and
Hiram
completeth
to
do
all the work that he made
for king Solomon ,
`for'
the house of Jehovah;
the
two
pillars ;
the
two bowl-shaped
capitals
atop
the pillars ;
the two sets
of
network
covering
both
bowls of the capitals
atop
the pillars;
pillars two ,
and
bowls
of
the chapiters
that
`are'
on
the
top
of
the
pillars two,
and
the nets
two ,
to
cover
the
two
bowls of the chapiters
that
`are'
on
the top
of
the
pillars;
the four hundred pomegranates
for the two sets
of
network
(
two rows of pomegranates for each
network
covering
both
the bowl-shaped
capitals
atop
the pillars )
;
and
the pomegranates
four hundred for the two nets,
two rows of pomegranates for the one
net,
to
cover
the two
bowls
of
the
chapiters
that
`are'
on
the
front
of
the
pillars;
the ten stands;
the ten basins
on the stands
;
and
the ten bases,
and
the ten lavers
on the bases
;
the Sea ;
the twelve oxen underneath
the Sea ;
and
the one
sea ,
the twelve oxen under
the sea ,
and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling
bowls .
All the
articles
that Huram
made for
King Solomon in
the house of the
LORD
were
made
of burnished
bronze
.
and the pots, and
the
shovels, and the
bowls ;
and
all these
vessels,
that Hiram
hath
made to
king Solomon `for'
the house of Jehovah,
`are'
of brass
--
polished
.
The king had
them
cast in
clay
molds
in the plain
of the Jordan
between Succoth and Zarethan
.
In
the circuit
of
the
Jordan
hath
the
king cast them,
in the thick
soil
of the ground,
between Succoth and Zarthan
.
Solomon left
all
these
articles
unweighed,
because there
were
so
many.
The weight of the bronze
could
not be
determined
.
And
Solomon placeth
the
whole
of
the
vessels;
because of
the very
great
abundance,
the
weight of the brass
hath
not been
searched
out
.
Solomon also
made
all the furnishings
for
the house of the
LORD
: the golden
altar ;
the golden
table on which was
placed
the Bread of the Presence ;
And
Solomon maketh
all the vessels
that
`are'
in
the house of Jehovah
: the altar of
gold,
and
the table --
on which `is'
the bread of the Presence --
of
gold,
the
lampstands
of
pure
gold
in
front
of
the inner
sanctuary
, five on the right side
and five on the left ;
the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs ;
and
the candlesticks
, five on the right ,
and five on the left ,
before
the oracle,
of
refined
gold ,
and
the
flowers, and
the
lamps, and the
tongs ,
of
gold,
the pure
gold
basins, wick
trimmers
, sprinkling
bowls, ladles
, and censers ;
and the gold
hinges for the doors of the inner temple
(that
is
, the Most
Holy Place
)
as
well
as
for the doors of the main
hall
of the temple.
and
the basins, and
the
snuffers
, and
the
bowls, and
the
spoons
, and the
censers ,
of
refined
gold,
and the hinges for the doors of the inner -house
, for
the holy of
holies,
for the doors of the house
of the temple ,
of
gold
.
So
all the work that King Solomon had
performed
for the house of the
LORD
was
completed.
Then
Solomon brought
in the items
his father David
had
dedicated—
the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and
he placed
them
in the treasuries of the house of the
LORD
.
And
it
is
complete
--
all the work that king Solomon hath
made
`
for '
the house of Jehovah,
and
Solomon bringeth
in the sanctified
things
of
David
his father ;
the silver, and
the gold, and the vessels
he hath
put
in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah
.
