וְאֶת־בֵּיתֹו֙ בָּנָ֣ה שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה שְׁלֹ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָ֑ה וַיְכַ֖ל אֶת־כָּל־בֵּיתֹֽו׃ | 1 |
However, it took Solomon thirteen years to finish building the whole of his palace.
וַיִּ֜בֶן אֶת־בֵּ֣ית ׀ יַ֣עַר הַלְּבָנֹ֗ון מֵאָ֨ה אַמָּ֤ה אָרְכֹּו֙ וַחֲמִשִּׁ֤ים אַמָּה֙ רָחְבֹּ֔ו וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים אַמָּ֖ה קֹומָתֹ֑ו עַ֗ל אַרְבָּעָה֙ טוּרֵי֙ עַמּוּדֵ֣י אֲרָזִ֔ים וּכְרֻתֹ֥ות אֲרָזִ֖ים עַל־הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃ | 2 |
He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon— a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. There were four rows of cedar pillars that supported cedar beams.
וְסָפֻ֣ן בָּאֶ֗רֶז מִמַּ֙עַל֙ עַל־הַצְּלָעֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הָֽעַמּוּדִ֔ים אַרְבָּעִ֖ים וַחֲמִשָּׁ֑ה חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר הַטּֽוּר׃ | 3 |
The cedar roof of the house was on top of the beams that rested on the pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in each row.
וּשְׁקֻפִ֖ים שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה טוּרִ֑ים וּמֶחֱזָ֥ה אֶל־מֶחֱזָ֖ה שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִֽים׃ | 4 |
The windows were placed high up, in three rows facing each other.
וְכָל־הַפְּתָחִ֥ים וְהַמְּזוּזֹ֖ות רְבֻעִ֣ים שָׁ֑קֶף וּמ֧וּל מֶחֱזָ֛ה אֶל־מֶחֱזָ֖ה שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִֽים׃ | 5 |
All the doorways and door casings had rectangular frames, the openings facing each other in sets of three.
וְאֵ֨ת אוּלָ֤ם הָֽעַמּוּדִים֙ עָשָׂ֔ה חֲמִשִּׁ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אָרְכֹּ֔ו וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים אַמָּ֖ה רָחְבֹּ֑ו וְאוּלָם֙ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶ֔ם וְעַמֻּדִ֥ים וְעָ֖ב עַל־פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃ | 6 |
He also had the Hall of Columns made—forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. It had a porch in front, its canopy also supported by columns.
וְאוּלָ֤ם הַכִּסֵּא֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִשְׁפָּט־שָׁ֔ם אֻלָ֥ם הַמִּשְׁפָּ֖ט עָשָׂ֑ה וְסָפ֣וּן בָּאֶ֔רֶז מֵהַקַּרְקַ֖ע עַד־הַקַּרְקָֽע׃ | 7 |
The throne room where he sat as judge was called the Hall of Justice, lined with cedar panels from floor to ceiling.
וּבֵיתֹו֩ אֲשֶׁר־יֵ֨שֶׁב שָׁ֜ם חָצֵ֣ר הָאַחֶ֗רֶת מִבֵּית֙ לָֽאוּלָ֔ם כַּמַּֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה הַזֶּ֖ה הָיָ֑ה וּבַ֜יִת יַעֲשֶׂ֤ה לְבַת־פַּרְעֹה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָקַ֣ח שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה כָּאוּלָ֖ם הַזֶּֽה׃ | 8 |
Solomon's own palace where he lived was in a courtyard behind the porch, made in a similar way to the Temple. He also had a palace made for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he'd married.
כָּל־אֵ֜לֶּה אֲבָנִ֤ים יְקָרֹת֙ כְּמִדֹּ֣ת גָּזִ֔ית מְגֹרָרֹ֥ות בַּמְּגֵרָ֖ה מִבַּ֣יִת וּמִח֑וּץ וּמִמַּסָּד֙ עַד־הַטְּפָחֹ֔ות וּמִח֖וּץ עַד־הֶחָצֵ֥ר הַגְּדֹולָֽה׃ | 9 |
All these buildings were built using stone blocks that were expensive to produce. They were cut to size and trimmed with saws on the inside and outside. These stones were used from the foundation to the eaves, from the outside of the building all the way to the great courtyard.
וּמְיֻסָּ֕ד אֲבָנִ֥ים יְקָרֹ֖ות אֲבָנִ֣ים גְּדֹלֹ֑ות אַבְנֵי֙ עֶ֣שֶׂר אַמֹּ֔ות וְאַבְנֵ֖י שְׁמֹנֶ֥ה אַמֹּֽות׃ | 10 |
The foundations were laid with very large top-quality stones, between eight and ten cubits long.
וּמִלְמַ֗עְלָה אֲבָנִ֧ים יְקָרֹ֛ות כְּמִדֹּ֥ות גָּזִ֖ית וָאָֽרֶז׃ | 11 |
On these were placed top-quality stones, cut to size, along with cedar timber.
וְחָצֵ֨ר הַגְּדֹולָ֜ה סָבִ֗יב שְׁלֹשָׁה֙ טוּרִ֣ים גָּזִ֔ית וְט֖וּר כְּרֻתֹ֣ת אֲרָזִ֑ים וְלַחֲצַ֧ר בֵּית־יְהוָ֛ה הַפְּנִימִ֖ית וּלְאֻלָ֥ם הַבָּֽיִת׃ פ | 12 |
Around the great courtyard, the inner courtyard, and the porch of the Lord's Temple were three courses of dressed stone and a course of cedar beams.
וַיִּשְׁלַח֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וַיִּקַּ֥ח אֶת־חִירָ֖ם מִצֹּֽר׃ | 13 |
King Solomon sent for Hiram from Tyre.
בֶּן־אִשָּׁה֩ אַלְמָנָ֨ה ה֜וּא מִמַּטֵּ֣ה נַפְתָּלִ֗י וְאָבִ֣יו אִישׁ־צֹרִי֮ חֹרֵ֣שׁ נְחֹשֶׁת֒ וַ֠יִּמָּלֵא אֶת־הַחָכְמָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַתְּבוּנָה֙ וְאֶת־הַדַּ֔עַת לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות כָּל־מְלָאכָ֖ה בַּנְּחֹ֑שֶׁת וַיָּבֹוא֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וַיַּ֖עַשׂ אֶת־כָּל־מְלַאכְתֹּֽו׃ | 14 |
He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was from Tyre, a craftsman who worked in bronze. Hiram had great expertise, understanding and being familiar with all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and carried out all that the king required.
וַיָּ֛צַר אֶת־שְׁנֵ֥י הָעַמּוּדִ֖ים נְחֹ֑שֶׁת שְׁמֹנֶ֨ה עֶשְׂרֵ֜ה אַמָּ֗ה קֹומַת֙ הָעַמּ֣וּד הָאֶחָ֔ד וְחוּט֙ שְׁתֵּים־עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה אַמָּ֔ה יָסֹ֖ב אֶת־הָעַמּ֥וּד הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃ | 15 |
He cast two columns in bronze. They were both eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
וּשְׁתֵּ֨י כֹתָרֹ֜ת עָשָׂ֗ה לָתֵ֛ת עַל־רָאשֵׁ֥י הָֽעַמּוּדִ֖ים מֻצַ֣ק נְחֹ֑שֶׁת חָמֵ֣שׁ אַמֹּ֗ות קֹומַת֙ הַכֹּתֶ֣רֶת הָאֶחָ֔ת וְחָמֵ֣שׁ אַמֹּ֔ות קֹומַ֖ת הַכֹּתֶ֥רֶת הַשֵּׁנִֽית׃ | 16 |
He also cast two capitals in bronze to place on top of the columns. Each capital was five cubits high.
שְׂבָכִ֞ים מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שְׂבָכָ֗ה גְּדִלִים֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שַׁרְשְׁרֹ֔ות לַכֹּ֣תָרֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִ֑ים שִׁבְעָה֙ לַכֹּתֶ֣רֶת הָאֶחָ֔ת וְשִׁבְעָ֖ה לַכֹּתֶ֥רֶת הַשֵּׁנִֽית׃ | 17 |
He made a network of lattice of interlinked chains for both capitals, seven for each one.
וַיַּ֖עַשׂ אֶת־הָעַמּוּדִ֑ים וּשְׁנֵי֩ טוּרִ֨ים סָבִ֜יב עַל־הַשְּׂבָכָ֣ה הָאֶחָ֗ת לְכַסֹּ֤ות אֶת־הַכֹּֽתָרֹת֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ הָֽרִמֹּנִ֔ים וְכֵ֣ן עָשָׂ֔ה לַכֹּתֶ֖רֶת הַשֵּׁנִֽית׃ | 18 |
Around the lattice network he made two rows of ornamental pomegranates to cover the capitals on the top of both the columns.
וְכֹֽתָרֹ֗ת אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִ֔ים מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה שׁוּשַׁ֣ן בָּֽאוּלָ֑ם אַרְבַּ֖ע אַמֹּֽות׃ | 19 |
The capitals placed on top of columns in the porch were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
וְכֹתָרֹ֗ת עַל־שְׁנֵי֙ הָֽעַמּוּדִ֔ים גַּם־מִמַּ֙עַל֙ מִלְּעֻמַּ֣ת הַבֶּ֔טֶן אֲשֶׁ֖ר לְעֵ֣בֶר שְׂבָכָה (הַשְּׂבָכָ֑ה) וְהָרִמֹּונִ֤ים מָאתַ֙יִם֙ טֻרִ֣ים סָבִ֔יב עַ֖ל הַכֹּתֶ֥רֶת הַשֵּׁנִֽית׃ | 20 |
On the capitals of both columns were the two hundred pomegranates in rows that encircled them, just above the rounded part that was next to the chain network.
וַיָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־הָֽעַמֻּדִ֔ים לְאֻלָ֖ם הַֽהֵיכָ֑ל וַיָּ֜קֶם אֶת־הָעַמּ֣וּד הַיְמָנִ֗י וַיִּקְרָ֤א אֶת־שְׁמֹו֙ יָכִ֔ין וַיָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־הָעַמּ֣וּד הַשְּׂמָאלִ֔י וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמֹ֖ו בֹּֽעַז׃ | 21 |
He erected the columns at the entrance porch of the Temple. The southern column he named Jachin, and the northern column he named Boaz.
וְעַ֛ל רֹ֥אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִ֖ים מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שֹׁושָׁ֑ן וַתִּתֹּ֖ם מְלֶ֥אכֶת הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃ | 22 |
The capitals on the columns were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the columns was finished.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק עֶ֣שֶׂר בָּ֠אַמָּה מִשְּׂפָתֹ֨ו עַד־שְׂפָתֹ֜ו עָגֹ֣ל ׀ סָבִ֗יב וְחָמֵ֤שׁ בָּֽאַמָּה֙ קֹומָתֹ֔ו וּקְוֵה (וְקָו֙) שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה יָסֹ֥ב אֹתֹ֖ו סָבִֽיב׃ | 23 |
Then he made the Sea of cast metal. Its shape was circular, and measured ten cubits from edge to edge, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
וּפְקָעִים֩ מִתַּ֨חַת לִשְׂפָתֹ֤ו ׀ סָבִיב֙ סֹבְבִ֣ים אֹתֹ֔ו עֶ֚שֶׂר בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה מַקִּפִ֥ים אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם סָבִ֑יב שְׁנֵ֤י טוּרִים֙ הַפְּקָעִ֔ים יְצֻקִ֖ים בִּיצֻקָתֹֽו׃ | 24 |
Below the edge it was decorated with ornamental gourds that encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around. They were in two rows cast as one piece with the Sea.
עֹמֵ֞ד עַל־שְׁנֵ֧י עָשָׂ֣ר בָּקָ֗ר שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה פֹנִ֣ים ׀ צָפֹ֡ונָה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֩ פֹנִ֨ים ׀ יָ֜מָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה ׀ פֹּנִ֣ים נֶ֗גְבָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פֹּנִ֣ים מִזְרָ֔חָה וְהַיָּ֥ם עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְכָל־אֲחֹֽרֵיהֶ֖ם בָּֽיְתָה׃ | 25 |
The Sea stood on twelve metal bulls. Three faced to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east. The Sea was placed on them, with their rears toward the center.
וְעָבְיֹ֣ו טֶ֔פַח וּשְׂפָתֹ֛ו כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה שְׂפַת־כֹּ֖וס פֶּ֣רַח שֹׁושָׁ֑ן אַלְפַּ֥יִם בַּ֖ת יָכִֽיל׃ פ | 26 |
It was as thick as the width of a hand, and its edge was like the flared edge of a cup or a lily flower. It held two thousand baths.
וַיַּ֧עַשׂ אֶת־הַמְּכֹנֹ֛ות עֶ֖שֶׂר נְחֹ֑שֶׁת אַרְבַּ֣ע בָּאַמָּ֗ה אֹ֚רֶךְ הַמְּכֹונָ֣ה הָֽאֶחָ֔ת וְאַרְבַּ֤ע בָּֽאַמָּה֙ רָחְבָּ֔הּ וְשָׁלֹ֥שׁ בָּאַמָּ֖ה קֹומָתָֽהּ׃ | 27 |
He also made ten carts to carry basins. The carts measured four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
וְזֶ֛ה מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הַמְּכֹונָ֖ה מִסְגְּרֹ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם וּמִסְגְּרֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין הַשְׁלַבִּֽים׃ | 28 |
This is how they were put together: side panels were attached to uprights.
וְעַֽל־הַמִּסְגְּרֹ֞ות אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ בֵּ֣ין הַשְׁלַבִּ֗ים אֲרָיֹ֤ות ׀ בָּקָר֙ וּכְרוּבִ֔ים וְעַל־הַשְׁלַבִּ֖ים כֵּ֣ן מִמָּ֑עַל וּמִתַּ֙חַת֙ לַאֲרָיֹ֣ות וְלַבָּקָ֔ר לֹיֹ֖ות מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה מֹורָֽד׃ | 29 |
Both the side panels and the uprights were decorated with lions, bulls, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and the bulls were decorative wreaths.
וְאַרְבָּעָה֩ אֹופַנֵּ֨י נְחֹ֜שֶׁת לַמְּכֹונָ֤ה הָֽאַחַת֙ וְסַרְנֵ֣י נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וְאַרְבָּעָ֥ה פַעֲמֹתָ֖יו כְּתֵפֹ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם מִתַּ֤חַת לַכִּיֹּר֙ הַכְּתֵפֹ֣ת יְצֻקֹ֔ות מֵעֵ֥בֶר אִ֖ישׁ לֹיֹֽות׃ | 30 |
Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. A basin rested on four supports that had decorative wreaths on each side.
וּ֠פִיהוּ מִבֵּ֨ית לַכֹּתֶ֤רֶת וָמַ֙עְלָה֙ בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה וּפִ֙יהָ֙ עָגֹ֣ל מַעֲשֵׂה־כֵ֔ן אַמָּ֖ה וַחֲצִ֣י הָֽאַמָּ֑ה וְגַם־עַל־פִּ֙יהָ֙ מִקְלָעֹ֔ות וּמִסְגְּרֹתֵיהֶ֥ם מְרֻבָּעֹ֖ות לֹ֥א עֲגֻלֹּֽות׃ | 31 |
At the top of each cart was a round opening like a pedestal to hold the basin. The opening was one cubit deep, and one and a half cubits wide. The opening had carvings around it. The panels of the cart were square, not round.
וְאַרְבַּ֣עַת הָאֹֽופַנִּ֗ים לְמִתַּ֙חַת֙ לַֽמִּסְגְּרֹ֔ות וִידֹ֥ות הָאֹֽופַנִּ֖ים בַּמְּכֹונָ֑ה וְקֹומַת֙ הָאֹופַ֣ן הָאֶחָ֔ד אַמָּ֖ה וַחֲצִ֥י הָאַמָּֽה׃ | 32 |
The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the cart. Each wheel measured one and a half cubits in diameter.
וּמַֽעֲשֵׂה֙ הָאֹ֣ופַנִּ֔ים כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה אֹופַ֣ן הַמֶּרְכָּבָ֑ה יְדֹותָ֣ם וְגַבֵּיהֶ֗ם וְחִשֻּׁקֵיהֶ֛ם וְחִשֻּׁרֵיהֶ֖ם הַכֹּ֥ל מוּצָֽק׃ | 33 |
The wheels were made in the same way as chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all made by casting.
וְאַרְבַּ֣ע כְּתֵפֹ֔ות אֶ֚ל אַרְבַּ֣ע פִּנֹּ֔ות הַמְּכֹנָ֖ה הָֽאֶחָ֑ת מִן־הַמְּכֹנָ֖ה כְּתֵפֶֽיהָ׃ | 34 |
Each cart had four handles, one on each corner, made as part of the stand.
וּבְרֹ֣אשׁ הַמְּכֹונָ֗ה חֲצִ֧י הָאַמָּ֛ה קֹומָ֖ה עָגֹ֣ל ׀ סָבִ֑יב וְעַ֨ל רֹ֤אשׁ הַמְּכֹנָה֙ יְדֹתֶ֔יהָ וּמִסְגְּרֹתֶ֖יהָ מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ | 35 |
There was a ring on the top of the cart a half cubit wide. The supports and panels were cast as one piece with the top of the cart.
וַיְפַתַּ֤ח עַל־הַלֻּחֹת֙ יְדֹתֶ֔יהָ וְעַל֙ וַמִסְגְּרֹתֶיהָ (מִסְגְּרֹתֶ֔יהָ) כְּרוּבִ֖ים אֲרָיֹ֣ות וְתִמֹרֹ֑ת כְּמַֽעַר־אִ֥ישׁ וְלֹיֹ֖ות סָבִֽיב׃ | 36 |
He had designs of cherubim, lions, and palm trees engraved on the panels, supports, and frame, wherever there was space, with decorative wreaths all around.
כָּזֹ֣את עָשָׂ֔ה אֵ֖ת עֶ֣שֶׂר הַמְּכֹנֹ֑ות מוּצָ֨ק אֶחָ֜ד מִדָּ֥ה אַחַ֛ת קֶ֥צֶב אֶחָ֖ד לְכֻלָּֽהְנָה׃ ס | 37 |
This is how he made the ten carts, with the same casts, size, and shape.
וַיַּ֛עַשׂ עֲשָׂרָ֥ה כִיֹּרֹ֖ות נְחֹ֑שֶׁת אַרְבָּעִ֨ים בַּ֜ת יָכִ֣יל ׀ הַכִּיֹּ֣ור הָאֶחָ֗ד אַרְבַּ֤ע בָּֽאַמָּה֙ הַכִּיֹּ֣ור הָאֶחָ֔ד כִּיֹּ֤ור אֶחָד֙ עַל־הַמְּכֹונָ֣ה הָאַחַ֔ת לְעֶ֖שֶׂר הַמְּכֹנֹֽות׃ | 38 |
Then he made ten bronze basins. Each one held forty baths and measured four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten carts.
וַיִּתֵּן֙ אֶת־הַמְּכֹנֹ֔ות חָמֵ֞שׁ עַל־כֶּ֤תֶף הַבַּ֙יִת֙ מִיָּמִ֔ין וְחָמֵ֛שׁ עַל־כֶּ֥תֶף הַבַּ֖יִת מִשְּׂמֹאלֹ֑ו וְאֶת־הַיָּ֗ם נָתַ֞ן מִכֶּ֨תֶף הַבַּ֧יִת הַיְמָנִ֛ית קֵ֖דְמָה מִמּ֥וּל נֶֽגֶב׃ ס | 39 |
He placed five carts on the south side of the Temple and five on the north side. He placed the Sea on the south side, by the southeast corner of the Temple.
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ חִירֹ֔ום אֶת־הַ֨כִּיֹּרֹ֔ות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹ֑ות וַיְכַ֣ל חִירָ֗ם לַֽעֲשֹׂות֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֛ה לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ | 40 |
He also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Hiram finished making everything required by King Solomon for the Temple of the Lord:
עַמֻּדִ֣ים שְׁנַ֔יִם וְגֻלֹּ֧ת הַכֹּתָרֹ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָֽעַמֻּדִ֖ים שְׁתָּ֑יִם וְהַשְּׂבָכֹ֣ות שְׁתַּ֔יִם לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ת הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃ | 41 |
the two columns; the two capitals shaped like bowls on top the columns; the two chain networks that covered the bowls of the capitals on top of the columns;
וְאֶת־הָרִמֹּנִ֛ים אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵאֹ֖ות לִשְׁתֵּ֣י הַשְּׂבָכֹ֑ות שְׁנֵֽי־טוּרִ֤ים רִמֹּנִים֙ לַשְּׂבָכָ֣ה הָֽאֶחָ֔ת לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ת הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃ | 42 |
the four hundred ornamental pomegranates for the chain networks (in two rows for the chain networks that covered the capitals on top of the columns);
וְאֶת־הַמְּכֹנֹ֖ות עָ֑שֶׂר וְאֶת־הַכִּיֹּרֹ֥ת עֲשָׂרָ֖ה עַל־הַמְּכֹנֹֽות׃ | 43 |
the ten carts; the ten basins on the carts;
וְאֶת־הַיָּ֖ם הָאֶחָ֑ד וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֥ר שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר תַּ֥חַת הַיָּֽם׃ | 44 |
the Sea; the twelve bulls under the Sea;
וְאֶת־הַסִּירֹ֨ות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֜ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹ֗ות וְאֵת֙ כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֣ים הָאֹהֶל (הָאֵ֔לֶּה) אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֥ה חִירָ֛ם לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה נְחֹ֖שֶׁת מְמֹרָֽט׃ | 45 |
and the pots, shovels, and bowls. Everything that Hiram made for King Solomon in the Temple of the Lord was made of polished bronze.
בְּכִכַּ֤ר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ יְצָקָ֣ם הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בְּמַעֲבֵ֖ה הָאֲדָמָ֑ה בֵּ֥ין סֻכֹּ֖ות וּבֵ֥ין צָרְתָֽן׃ | 46 |
The king had them cast in molds made of clay in the Jordan valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
וַיַּנַּ֤ח שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים מֵרֹ֖ב מְאֹ֣ד מְאֹ֑ד לֹ֥א נֶחְקַ֖ר מִשְׁקַ֥ל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃ | 47 |
Solomon did not weigh anything that had been made because there was just so much—the weight of bronze used could not be measured.
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה אֵ֚ת מִזְבַּ֣ח הַזָּהָ֔ב וְאֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָלָ֛יו לֶ֥חֶם הַפָּנִ֖ים זָהָֽב׃ | 48 |
Solomon also had made all the items for the Temple of the Lord: the golden altar; the golden table where the Bread of the Presence was placed;
וְאֶת־הַ֠מְּנֹרֹות חָמֵ֨שׁ מִיָּמִ֜ין וְחָמֵ֧שׁ מִשְּׂמֹ֛אול לִפְנֵ֥י הַדְּבִ֖יר זָהָ֣ב סָג֑וּר וְהַפֶּ֧רַח וְהַנֵּרֹ֛ת וְהַמֶּלְקַחַ֖יִם זָהָֽב׃ | 49 |
the lampstands made of pure gold that stood in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left; the flowers, lamps, and tongs that were all made of pure gold;
וְ֠הַסִּפֹּות וְהַֽמְזַמְּרֹ֧ות וְהַמִּזְרָקֹ֛ות וְהַכַּפֹּ֥ות וְהַמַּחְתֹּ֖ות זָהָ֣ב סָג֑וּר וְהַפֹּתֹ֡ות לְדַלְתֹות֩ הַבַּ֨יִת הַפְּנִימִ֜י לְקֹ֣דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים לְדַלְתֵ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת לַהֵיכָ֖ל זָהָֽב׃ פ | 50 |
the basins, wick trimmers, bowls, ladles, and censers that again were all made of pure gold; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place, in addition to the doors of the main hall of the Temple.
וַתִּשְׁלַם֙ כָּל־הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֛ה הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וַיָּבֵ֨א שְׁלֹמֹ֜ה אֶת־קָדְשֵׁ֣י ׀ דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֗יו אֶת־הַכֶּ֤סֶף וְאֶת־הַזָּהָב֙ וְאֶת־הַכֵּלִ֔ים נָתַ֕ן בְּאֹצְרֹ֖ות בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ פ | 51 |
In this way all King Solomon's work for the Temple of the Lord was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated, the special objects made of silver, the gold, and the Temple furnishings, and he placed them in the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord.
