1 Kings 6

1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

And it was in eighty year and four hundred year of [the] coming out of [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt in the year fourth in [the] month of Ziv that [was] the month second of [the] reigning of Solomon over Israel and he built the house for Yahweh.

2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.

And the house which he built the king Solomon for Yahweh [was] sixty cubit[s] length its and [was] twenty breadth its and [was] thirty cubit[s] height its.

3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.

And the porch on [the] face of [the] temple of the house [was] twenty cubit[s] length its on [the] face of [the] breadth of the house [was] ten by the cubit breadth its on [the] face of the house.

4 And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.

And he made for the house windows of frames shut.

5 And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made side-chambers round about:

And he built on [the] wall of the house (an extension *Q(K)*) all around [the] walls of the house around the temple and the innermost room and he made side-chambers all around.

6 The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for on the outside he made rebatements [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house.

(The extension *Q(K)*) lower [was] five by the cubit breadth its and the middle [extension] [was] six by the cubit breadth its and third [extension] [was] seven by the cubit breadth its for ledges he made for the house around [the] outside towards to not to have hold in [the] walls of the house.

7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry: and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

And the house when was built it stone perfect quarry it was built and hammers and axe any article of iron not it was heard in the house when was built it.

8 The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [chambers], and out of the middle into the third.

[the] entrance of The side-chamber middle [was] to [the] side of the house south and by stairs people went up to the middle and from the middle to the thirty.

9 So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.

And he built the house and he finished it and he covered the house beams and planks with cedar.

10 And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

And he built (the extension *Q(K)*) on all the house [was] five cubits height its and he covered the house with wood of cedar.

11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Solomon saying.

12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father.

The house this which you [are] building if you will walk in statutes my and judgments my you will observe and you will keep all commandments my to walk in them and I will establish word my with you which I spoke to David father your.

13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

And I will dwell in among [the] people of Israel and not I will abandon people my Israel.

14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

And he built Solomon the house and he finished it.

15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house unto the walls of the cieling, he covered them on the inside with wood: and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.

And he built [the] walls of the house from inside with boards of cedar from [the] floor of the house to [the] walls of the ceiling he overlaid wood from inside and he overlaid [the] floor of the house with boards of cypresses.

16 And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls: he even built [them] for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.

And he built twenty cubit[s] (from [the] innermost parts of *Q(k)*) the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls and he built for it from inside to an innermost room to [the] holy place of the holy places.

17 And the house, that is, the temple before [the oracle], was forty cubits [long].

And forty by the cubit it was the house that [is] the temple before me.

18 And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

And cedar [was] to the house within carving of gourds and spread out [things] of flowers everything [was] cedar not stone [was] visible.

19 And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

And an innermost room in [the] middle of the house from within he prepared to put there [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh.

20 And within the oracle was [a space of] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.

And before the innermost room [was] twenty cubit[s] length and [was] twenty cubit[s] breadth and [was] twenty cubit[s] height its and he overlaid it gold gold plate and he overlaid an altar cedar.

21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.

And he overlaid Solomon the house from within gold gold plate and he made pass (with chains of *Q(K)*) gold before the innermost room and he overlaid it gold.

22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.

And all the house he overlaid gold until was finished all the house and all the altar which [belonged] to the innermost room he overlaid gold.

23 And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

And he made in the innermost room two cherubim wood of olive [was] ten cubits height its.

24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

And [was] five cubits [the] wing of the cherub one and [was] five cubits [the] wing of the cherub second [was] ten cubits from [the] ends of wings its and to [the] ends of wings its.

25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

And [was] ten by the cubit the cherub second a measurement one and a shape one [belonged] to [the] two the cherubim.

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.

[the] height of The cherub one [was] ten by the cubit and thus the cherub second.

27 And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

And he put the cherubim in [the] middle of - the house inner and they spread out [the] wings of the cherubim and it touched [the] wing of the one [cherub] the wall and [the] wing of the cherub second [was] touching the wall second and wings their to [the] middle of the house [were] touching wing to wing.

28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

And he overlaid the cherubim gold.

29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.

And all [the] walls of the house round about - he carved engravings of carvings of cherubim and palm trees and spread out [things] of flowers from to faces and to the outer.

30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

And [the] floor of the house he overlaid gold to within and to the outer.

31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive wood: the lintel [and] door posts were a fifth part [of the wall].

And [the] entrance of the innermost room he made doors of wood of olive the pillar doorposts of fifth.

32 So [he made] two doors of olive wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.

And two doors of wood of olive and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and spread out [things] of flowers and he overlaid [them] gold and he hammered out on the cherubim and on the palm trees the gold.

33 So also made he for the entering of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall];

And thus he made for [the] entrance of the temple doorposts of wood of olive from with a fourth.

34 and two doors of fir wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

And two doors of wood of cypresses two sides the door one [were] revolving and two curtains the door second [were] revolving.

35 And he carved [thereon] cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.

And he carved cherubim and palm trees and spread out [things] of flowers and he overlaid gold made smooth on the carved [work].

36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.

And he built the court inner three rows of hewn [stone] and a row of beams of cedar.

37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Ziv.

In the year fourth it was founded [the] house of Yahweh in [the] month of Ziv.

38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

And in the year one [plus] ten in [the] month of Bul that [was] the month eighth it was complete the house to all parts its and to all (plans its *Q(K)*) and he built it seven years.
