1But Solomon <08010> was building <01129> (8804) his own house <01004> thirteen <07969> <06240> years <08141>_, and he finished <03615> (8762) all his house <01004>_.
2He built <01129> (8799) also the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of Lebanon <03844>_; the length <0753> thereof [was] an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>_, and the breadth <07341> thereof fifty <02572> cubits <0520>_, and the height <06967> thereof thirty <07970> cubits <0520>_, upon four <0702> rows <02905> of cedar <0730> pillars <05982>_, with cedar <0730> beams <03773> upon the pillars <05982>_.
3And [it was] covered <05603> (8803) with cedar <0730> above <04605> upon the beams <06763>_, that [lay] on forty <0705> five <02568> pillars <05982>_, fifteen <06240> [in] a row <02905>_. {beams: Heb. ribs}
4And [there were] windows <08261> [in] three <07969> rows <02905>_, and light <04237> [was] against light <04237> [in] three <07969> ranks <06471>_. {light was...: Heb. sight against sight}
5And all the doors <06607> and posts <04201> [were] square <07251> (8803)_, with the windows <08260>_: and light <04237> [was] against <04136> light <04237> [in] three <07969> ranks <06471>_. {doors...: or, spaces and pillars were square in prospect}
6And he made <06213> (8804) a porch <0197> of pillars <05982>_; the length <0753> thereof [was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>_, and the breadth <07341> thereof thirty <07970> cubits <0520>_: and the porch <0197> [was] before <06440> them: and the [other] pillars <05982> and the thick beam <05646> [were] before them. {before them: or, according to them}
7Then he made <06213> (8804) a porch <0197> for the throne <03678> where he might judge <08199> (8799)_, [even] the porch <0197> of judgment <04941>_: and [it was] covered <05603> (8803) with cedar <0730> from one side of the floor <07172> to the other <07172>_. {from...: Heb. from floor to floor}
8And his house <01004> where he dwelt <03427> (8799) [had] another <0312> court <02691> within <01004> the porch <0197>_, [which] was of the like work <04639>_. Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) also an house <01004> for Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323>_, whom he had taken <03947> (8804) [to wife], like unto this porch <0197>_.
9All these [were of] costly <03368> stones <068>_, according to the measures <04060> of hewed stones <01496>_, sawed <01641> (8775) with saws <04050>_, within <01004> and without <02351>_, even from the foundation <04527> unto the coping <02947>_, and [so] on the outside <02351> toward the great <01419> court <02691>_.
10And the foundation <03245> (8794) [was of] costly <03368> stones <068>_, even great <01419> stones <068>_, stones <068> of ten <06235> cubits <0520>_, and stones <068> of eight <08083> cubits <0520>_.
11And above <04605> [were] costly <03368> stones <068>_, after the measures <04060> of hewed stones <01496>_, and cedars <0730>_.
12And the great <01419> court <02691> round about <05439> [was] with three <07969> rows <02905> of hewed stones <01496>_, and a row <02905> of cedar <0730> beams <03773>_, both for the inner <06442> court <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and for the porch <0197> of the house <01004>_.
13And king <04428> Solomon <08010> sent <07971> (8799) and fetched <03947> (8799) Hiram <02438> out of Tyre <06865>_. {Hiram: also called, Huram}
14He [was] a widow's <0802> <0490> son <01121> of the tribe <04294> of Naphtali <05321>_, and his father <01> [was] a man <0376> of Tyre <06876>_, a worker <02790> (8802) in brass <05178>_: and he was filled <04390> (8735) with wisdom <02451>_, and understanding <08394>_, and cunning <01847> to work <06213> (8800) all works <04399> in brass <05178>_. And he came <0935> (8799) to king <04428> Solomon <08010>_, and wrought <06213> (8799) all his work <04399>_. {a widow's...: Heb. the son of a widow woman}
15For he cast <06696> (8799) two <08147> pillars <05982> of brass <05178>_, of eighteen <08083> <06240> cubits <0520> high <06967> apiece <05982> <0259>_: and a line <02339> of twelve <08147> <06240> cubits <0520> did compass <05437> (0) either <08145> of them about <05437> (8799)_. {cast: Heb. fashioned}
16And he made <06213> (8804) two <08147> chapiters <03805> [of] molten <03332> (8716) brass <05178>_, to set <05414> (8800) upon the tops <07218> of the pillars <05982>_: the height <06967> of the one <0259> chapiter <03805> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>_, and the height <06967> of the other <08145> chapiter <03805> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>_:
17[And] nets <07638> of checker <07639> work <04639>_, and wreaths <01434> of chain <08333> work <04639>_, for the chapiters <03805> which [were] upon the top <07218> of the pillars <05982>_; seven <07651> for the one <0259> chapiter <03805>_, and seven <07651> for the other <08145> chapiter <03805>_.
18And he made <06213> (8799) the pillars <05982>_, and two <08147> rows <02905> round about <05439> upon the one <0259> network <07639>_, to cover <03680> (8763) the chapiters <03805> that [were] upon the top <07218>_, with pomegranates <07416>_: and so did <06213> (8804) he for the other <08145> chapiter <03805>_.
19And the chapiters <03805> that [were] upon the top <07218> of the pillars <05982> [were] of lily <07799> work <04639> in the porch <0197>_, four <0702> cubits <0520>_.
20And the chapiters <03805> upon the two <08147> pillars <05982> [had pomegranates] also above <04605>_, over against <05980> the belly <0990> which [was] by <05676> the network <07639>_: and the pomegranates <07416> [were] two hundred <03967> in rows <02905> round about <05439> upon the other <08145> chapiter <03805>_.
21And he set up <06965> (8686) the pillars <05982> in the porch <0197> of the temple <01964>_: and he set up <06965> (8686) the right <03233> pillar <05982>_, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> thereof Jachin <03199>_: and he set up <06965> (8686) the left <08042> pillar <05982>_, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> thereof Boaz <01162>_. {Jachin: that is, He shall establish} {Boaz: that is, In it is strength}
22And upon the top <07218> of the pillars <05982> [was] lily <07799> work <04639>_: so was the work <04399> of the pillars <05982> finished <08552> (8799)_.
23And he made <06213> (8799) a molten <03332> (8716) sea <03220>_, ten <06235> cubits <0520> from the one brim <08193> to the other <08193>_: [it was] round <05696> all about <05439>_, and his height <06967> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>_: and a line <06957> (8675) <06961> of thirty <07970> cubits <0520> did compass <05437> (8799) it round about <05439>_. {from...: Heb. from his brim to his brim}
24And under the brim <08193> of it round about <05439> [there were] knops <06497> compassing <05437> (8802) it, ten <06235> in a cubit <0520>_, compassing <05362> (8688) the sea <03220> round about <05439>_: the knops <06497> [were] cast <03333> in two <08147> rows <02905>_, when it was cast <03332> (8803)_.
25It stood <05975> (8802) upon twelve <08147> <06240> oxen <01241>_, three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward the north <06828>_, and three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward the west <03220>_, and three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward the south <05045>_, and three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward the east <04217>_: and the sea <03220> [was set] above <04605> upon them, and all their hinder parts <0268> [were] inward <01004>_.
26And it [was] an hand breadth <02947> thick <05672>_, and the brim <08193> thereof was wrought <04639> like the brim <08193> of a cup <03563>_, with flowers <06525> of lilies <07799>_: it contained <03557> (8686) two thousand <0505> baths <01324>_.
27And he made <06213> (8799) ten <06235> bases <04350> of brass <05178>_; four <0702> cubits <0520> [was] the length <0753> of one <0259> base <04350>_, and four <0702> cubits <0520> the breadth <07341> thereof, and three <07969> cubits <0520> the height <06967> of it.
28And the work <04639> of the bases <04350> [was] on this [manner]: they had borders <04526>_, and the borders <04526> [were] between the ledges <07948>_:
29And on the borders <04526> that [were] between the ledges <07948> [were] lions <0738>_, oxen <01241>_, and cherubims <03742>_: and upon the ledges <07948> [there was] a base <03653> above <04605>_: and beneath the lions <0738> and oxen <01241> [were] certain additions <03914> made of thin <04174> work <04639>_.
30And every <0259> base <04350> had four <0702> brasen <05178> wheels <0212>_, and plates <05633> of brass <05178>_: and the four <0702> corners <06471> thereof had undersetters <03802>_: under the laver <03595> [were] undersetters <03802> molten <03332> (8803)_, at the side <05676> of every <0376> addition <03914>_.
31And the mouth <06310> of it within <01004> the chapiter <03805> and above <04605> [was] a cubit <0520>_: but the mouth <06310> thereof [was] round <05696> [after] the work <04639> of the base <03653>_, a cubit <0520> and an half <02677>_: and also upon the mouth <06310> of it [were] gravings <04734> with their borders <04526>_, foursquare <07251> (8794)_, not round <05696>_.
32And under <08478> the borders <04526> [were] four <0702> wheels <0212>_; and the axletrees <03027> of the wheels <0212> [were joined] to the base <04350>_: and the height <06967> of a <0259> wheel <0212> [was] a cubit <0520> and half <02677> a cubit <0520>_. {joined...: Heb. in the base}
33And the work <04639> of the wheels <0212> [was] like the work <04639> of a chariot <04818> wheel <0212>_: their axletrees <03027>_, and their naves <01354>_, and their felloes <02839>_, and their spokes <02840>_, [were] all molten <03332> (8716)_.
34And [there were] four <0702> undersetters <03802> to the four <0702> corners <06438> of one <0259> base <04350>_: [and] the undersetters <03802> [were] of the very base <04350> itself.
35And in the top <07218> of the base <04350> [was there] a round <05696> compass <05439> of half <02677> a cubit <0520> high <06967>_: and on the top <07218> of the base <04350> the ledges <03027> thereof and the borders <04526> thereof [were] of the same.
36For on the plates <03871> of the ledges <03027> thereof, and on the borders <04526> thereof, he graved <06605> (8762) cherubims <03742>_, lions <0738>_, and palm trees <08561>_, according to the proportion <04626> of every one <0376>_, and additions <03914> round about <05439>_. {proportion: Heb. nakedness}
37After this [manner] he made <06213> (8804) the ten <06235> bases <04350>_: all of them had one <0259> casting <04165>_, one <0259> measure <04060>_, [and] one <0259> size <07095>_.
38Then made <06213> (8799) he ten <06235> lavers <03595> of brass <05178>_: one <0259> laver <03595> contained <03557> (8686) forty <0705> baths <01324>_: [and] every <0259> laver <03595> was four <0702> cubits <0520>_: [and] upon every one <0259> of the ten <06235> bases <04350> one <0259> laver <03595>_.
39And he put <05414> (8799) five <02568> bases <04350> on the right <03225> side <03802> of the house <01004>_, and five <02568> on the left <08040> side <03802> of the house <01004>_: and he set <05414> (8804) the sea <03220> on the right <03233> side <03802> of the house <01004> eastward <06924> over against <04136> the south <05045>_. {side: Heb. shoulder}
40And Hiram <02438> made <06213> (8799) the lavers <03595>_, and the shovels <03257>_, and the basons <04219>_. So Hiram <02438> made <03615> (8762) an end of doing <06213> (8800) all the work <04399> that he made <06213> (8804) king <04428> Solomon <08010> for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_: {And Hiram: Heb. And Hirom}
41The two <08147> pillars <05982>_, and the [two] bowls <01543> of the chapiters <03805> that [were] on the top <07218> of the two <08147> pillars <05982>_; and the two <08147> networks <07639>_, to cover <03680> (8763) the two <08147> bowls <01543> of the chapiters <03805> which [were] upon the top <07218> of the pillars <05982>_;
42And four <0702> hundred <03967> pomegranates <07416> for the two <08147> networks <07639>_, [even] two <08147> rows <02905> of pomegranates <07416> for one <0259> network <07639>_, to cover <03680> (8763) the two <08147> bowls <01543> of the chapiters <03805> that [were] upon <06440> the pillars <05982>_; {upon...: Heb. upon the face of the pillars}
43And the ten <06235> bases <04350>_, and ten <06235> lavers <03595> on the bases <04350>_;
44And one <0259> sea <03220>_, and twelve <08147> <06240> oxen <01241> under the sea <03220>_;
45And the pots <05518>_, and the shovels <03257>_, and the basons <04219>_: and all these vessels <03627>_, which Hiram <02438> made <06213> (8804) to king <04428> Solomon <08010> for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, [were of] bright <04178> (8794) brass <05178>_. {bright: Heb. made bright or, scoured}
46In the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383> did the king <04428> cast <03332> (8804) them, in the clay <04568> ground <0127> between Succoth <05523> and Zarthan <06891>_. {in...: Heb. in the thickness of the ground}
47And Solomon <08010> left <03240> (8686) all the vessels <03627> [unweighed], because they were exceeding <03966> <03966> many <07230>_: neither was the weight <04948> of the brass <05178> found out <02713> (8738)_. {because...: Heb. for the exceeding multitude} {found: Heb. searched}
48And Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) all the vessels <03627> that [pertained] unto the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_: the altar <04196> of gold <02091>_, and the table <07979> of gold <02091>_, whereupon the shewbread <03899> <06440> [was],
49And the candlesticks <04501> of pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>_, five <02568> on the right <03225> [side], and five <02568> on the left <08040>_, before <06440> the oracle <01687>_, with the flowers <06525>_, and the lamps <05216>_, and the tongs <04457> [of] gold <02091>_,
50And the bowls <05592>_, and the snuffers <04212>_, and the basons <04219>_, and the spoons <03709>_, and the censers <04289> [of] pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>_; and the hinges <06596> [of] gold <02091>_, [both] for the doors <01817> of the inner <06442> house <01004>_, the most <06944> holy <06944> [place, and] for the doors <01817> of the house <01004>_, [to wit], of the temple <01964>_. {censers: Heb. ash pans}
51So was ended <07999> (8799) all the work <04399> that king <04428> Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8804) for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_. And Solomon <08010> brought in <0935> (8686) the things which David <01732> his father <01> had dedicated <06944>_; [even] the silver <03701>_, and the gold <02091>_, and the vessels <03627>_, did he put <05414> (8804) among the treasures <0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_. {things...: Heb. holy things of David}
