And Solomon has built his own house [in] thirteen years, and he finishes all his house.
2 aedificavit quoque domum saltus Libani centum cubitorum longitudinis et quinquaginta cubitorum latitudinis et triginta cubitorum altitudinis et quattuor deambulacra inter columnas cedrinas ligna quippe cedrina exciderat in columnas
And he builds the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length [is] one hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar-beams on the pillars;
3 et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram quae quadraginta quinque columnis sustentabatur unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim
and [it is] covered with cedar above, on the sides that [are] on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in the row.

5 et e regione se respicientes aequali spatio inter columnas et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis aequalia
And all the openings and the doorposts [are of] square frame; and window [is] toward window three times.
6 et porticum columnarum fecit quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinis et triginta cubitorum latitudinis et alteram porticum in facie maioris porticus et columnas et epistylia super columnas
And he has made the porch of the pillars; its length fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits, and the porch [is] before them, and pillars and a thick place [are] before them.
7 porticum quoque solii in qua tribunal est fecit et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad summitatem
And the porch of the throne where he judges—the porch of judgment—he has made, and [it is] covered with cedar from the floor to the floor.
8 et domuncula in qua sedetur ad iudicandum erat in media porticu simili opere domum quoque fecit filiae Pharaonis quam uxorem duxerat Salomon tali opere quali et hanc porticum
As for his house where he dwells, the other court [is] within the porch—it has been as this work; and he makes a house for the daughter of Pharaoh—whom Solomon has taken—like this porch.
9 omnia lapidibus pretiosis qui ad normam quandam atque mensuram tam intrinsecus quam extrinsecus serrati erant a fundamento usque ad summitatem parietum et intrinsecus usque ad atrium maius
All these [are] of precious stones, according to the measures of hewn work, sawn with a saw, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and at the outside, to the great court.
10 fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis lapidibus magnis decem sive octo cubitorum

13 misit quoque rex Salomon et tulit Hiram de Tyro
And King Solomon sends and takes Hiram out of Tyre—
14 filium mulieris viduae de tribu Nepthali patre Tyrio artificem aerarium et plenum sapientia et intellegentia et doctrina ad faciendum omne opus ex aere qui cum venisset ad regem Salomonem fecit omne opus eius
he [is the] son of a woman, a widow, of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [is] a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze, and he is filled with the wisdom and the understanding, and the knowledge to do all work in bronze—and he comes to King Solomon, and does all his work.
15 et finxit duas columnas aereas decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque
And he forms the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits [is] the height of the first pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits goes around the second pillar.
16 duo quoque capitella fecit quae ponerentur super capita columnarum fusili aere quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum unum et quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum alterum
And he has made two chapiters to put on the tops of the pillars, cast in bronze; five cubits the height of the first capital, and five cubits the height of the second capital.
17 et quasi in modum retis et catenarum sibi invicem miro opere contextarum utrumque capitellum columnarum fusile erat septena versuum retiacula in capitello uno et septena retiacula in capitello altero
Nets of network, wreaths of chain-work [are] for the chapiters that [are] on the top of the pillars, seven for the first capital, and seven for the second capital.
18 et perfecit columnas et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum ut tegerent capitella quae erant super summitatem malogranatorum eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo
And he makes the pillars, and two rows around on the one network, to cover the chapiters that [are] on the top, with the pomegranates, and so he has made for the second capital.
19 capitella autem quae erant super capita columnarum quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu quattuor cubitorum
And the chapiters that [are] on the top of the pillars [are] of lily-work in the porch, four cubits;
20 et rursum alia capitella in summitate columnarum desuper iuxta mensuram columnae contra retiacula malogranatorum autem ducenti ordines erant in circuitu capitelli secundi
and the chapiters on the two pillars also [have pomegranates] above, close by the protuberance that [is] beside the net; and the pomegranates [are] two hundred, in rows around on the second capital.
21 et statuit duas columnas in porticum templi cumque statuisset columnam dexteram vocavit eam nomine Iachin similiter erexit columnam secundam et vocavit nomen eius Booz
And he raises up the pillars for the porch of the temple, and he raises up the right pillar, and calls its name Jachin, and he raises up the left pillar, and calls its name Boaz;
22 et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit perfectumque est opus columnarum
and on the top of the pillars [is] lily-work; and the work of the pillars [is] completed.
23 fecit quoque mare fusile decem cubitorum a labio usque ad labium rotundum in circuitu quinque cubitorum altitudo eius et resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud per circuitum
And he makes the molten sea, ten by the cubit from its edge to its edge; [it is] round all about, and its height [is] five by the cubit, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounds it around;
24 et scalptura subter labium circumibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare duo ordines scalpturarum histriatarum erant fusiles
and knobs beneath its brim around are going around it, ten by the cubit, going around the sea; the knobs [are] in two rows, cast in its being cast.
25 et stabat super duodecim boves e quibus tres respiciebant ad aquilonem et tres ad occidentem et tres ad meridiem et tres ad orientem et mare super eos desuper erat quorum posteriora universa intrinsecus latitabant
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] on them above, and all their back parts [are] inward.
26 grossitudo autem luteris trium unciarum erat labiumque eius quasi labium calicis et folium repandi lilii duo milia batos capiebat
And its thickness [is] a handbreadth, and its edge [is] as the work of the edge of a cup, [as] flowers of lilies; it contains two thousand baths.
27 et fecit bases decem aereas quattuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas et quattuor cubitorum latitudinis et trium cubitorum altitudinis
And he makes the ten bases of bronze; the length of the one base [is] four by the cubit, and its breadth [is] four by the cubit, and its height [is] three by the cubit.
28 et ipsum opus basium interrasile erat et scalpturae inter iuncturas
And this [is] the work of the base: they have borders, and the borders [are] between the joinings;
29 et inter coronulas et plectas leones et boves et cherubin et in iuncturis similiter desuper et subter leones et boves quasi lora ex aere dependentia
and on the borders that [are] between the joinings [are] lions, oxen, and cherubim, and on the joinings a base above, and beneath the lions and the oxen [are] additions—sloping work.
30 et quattuor rotae per bases singulas et axes aerei et per quattuor partes quasi umeruli subter luterem fusiles contra se invicem respectantes
And four wheels of bronze [are] for the one base, and axles of bronze; and its four corners have shoulders—the molten shoulders [are] under the laver, beside each addition.
31 os quoque luteris intrinsecus erat in capitis summitate et quod forinsecus apparebat unius cubiti erat totum rotundum pariterque habebat unum cubitum et dimidium in angulis autem columnarum variae celaturae erant et media intercolumnia quadrata non rotunda
And its mouth within the capital 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.
32 quattuor quoque rotae quae per quattuor angulos basis erant coherebant subter basi una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis
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.
33 tales autem rotae erant quales solent in curru fieri et axes earum et radii et canti et modioli omnia fusilia
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.
34 nam et umeruli illi quattuor per singulos angulos basis unius ex ipsa basi fusiles et coniuncti erant
And four shoulders [are] for the four corners of the one base; its shoulders [are] out of the base.
35 in summitate autem basis erat quaedam rotunditas dimidii cubiti ita fabrefacta ut luter desuper possit inponi habens celaturas suas et scalpturas varias ex semet ipso
And in the top of the base [is] the half of a cubit in the height all around; and on the top of the base its spokes and its borders [are] of the same.
36 scalpsit quoque in tabulatis illis quae erant ex aere et in angulis cherubin et leones et palmas quasi in similitudinem stantis hominis ut non celata sed adposita per circuitum viderentur
And he engraves on the tablets of its spokes, and on its borders, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the void space of each, and additions all around.
37 in hunc modum fecit decem bases fusura una et mensura scalpturaque consimili
Thus he has made the ten bases; they all have one casting, one measure, one form.
38 fecit quoque decem luteres aereos quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus eratque quattuor cubitorum singulosque luteres per singulas id est decem bases posuit
And he makes ten lavers of bronze; the one laver contains forty baths [and] the one laver [is] four by the cubit; one laver on the one base [is] for [each of] the ten bases;
39 et constituit decem bases quinque ad dexteram partem templi et quinque ad sinistram mare autem posuit ad dexteram partem templi contra orientem ad meridiem
and he puts the five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house, and he has put the sea on the right side of the house eastward—from toward the south.
40 fecit ergo Hiram lebetas et scutras et amulas et perfecit omne opus regis Salomonis in templo Domini
And Hiram makes the lavers, and the shovels, and the bowls; and Hiram completes to do all the work that he made for King Solomon, [for] the house of YHWH:

46 in campestri regione Iordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Socchoth et Sarthan
The king has cast them in the circuit of the Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 et posuit Salomon omnia vasa propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus aeris
And Solomon places the whole of the vessels; because of the very great abundance, the weight of the bronze has not been searched out.
48 fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini altare aureum et mensam super quam ponerentur panes propositionis auream
And Solomon makes all the vessels that [are] in the house of YHWH: the altar of gold, and the table of gold (on which [is] the Bread of the Presentation),
