Dual Panel1Then Solomon <08010> began <02490> (8686) to build <01129> (8800) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> at Jerusalem <03389> in mount <02022> Moriah <04179>_, where [the LORD] appeared <07200> (8738) unto David <01732> his father <01>_, in the place <04725> that David <01732> had prepared <03559> (8689) in the threshingfloor <01637> of Ornan <0771> the Jebusite <02983>_. {where...: or, which was seen of David his father} {Ornan: also called, Araunah}
2And he began <02490> (8686) to build <01129> (8800) in the second <08145> [day] of the second <08145> month <02320>_, in the fourth <0702> year <08141> of his reign <04438>_.
3Now these [are the things wherein] Solomon <08010> was instructed <03245> (8717) for the building <01129> (8800) of the house <01004> of God <0430>_. The length <0753> by cubits <0520> after the first <07223> measure <04060> [was] threescore <08346> cubits <0520>_, and the breadth <07341> twenty <06242> cubits <0520>_. {instructed: Heb. founded}
4And the porch <0197> that [was] in the front <06440> [of the house], the length <0753> [of it was] according to the breadth <07341> of the house <01004>_, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>_, and the height <01363> [was] an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242>_: and he overlaid <06823> (8762) it within <06441> with pure <02889> gold <02091>_.
5And the greater <01419> house <01004> he cieled <02645> (8765) with fir <01265> tree <06086>_, which he overlaid <02645> (8762) with fine <02896> gold <02091>_, and set <05927> (8686) thereon palm trees <08561> and chains <08333>_.
6And he garnished <06823> (8762) the house <01004> with precious <03368> stones <068> for beauty <08597>_: and the gold <02091> [was] gold <02091> of Parvaim <06516>_. {garnished: Heb. covered}
7He overlaid <02645> (8762) also the house <01004>_, the beams <06982>_, the posts <05592>_, and the walls <07023> thereof, and the doors <01817> thereof, with gold <02091>_; and graved <06605> (8765) cherubims <03742> on the walls <07023>_.
8And he made <06213> (8799) the most <06944> holy <06944> house <01004>_, the length <0753> whereof [was] according to <06440> the breadth <07341> of the house <01004>_, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>_, and the breadth <07341> thereof twenty <06242> cubits <0520>_: and he overlaid <02645> (8762) it with fine <02896> gold <02091>_, [amounting] to six <08337> hundred <03967> talents <03603>_.
9And the weight <04948> of the nails <04548> [was] fifty <02572> shekels <08255> of gold <02091>_. And he overlaid <02645> (8765) the upper chambers <05944> with gold <02091>_.
10And in the most <06944> holy <06944> house <01004> he made <06213> (8799) two <08147> cherubims <03742> of image <06816> work <04639>_, and overlaid <06823> (8762) them with gold <02091>_. {image...: or, (as some think) of moveable work}
11And the wings <03671> of the cherubims <03742> [were] twenty <06242> cubits <0520> long <0753>_: one <0259> wing <03671> [of the one cherub was] five <02568> cubits <0520>_, reaching <05060> (8688) to the wall <07023> of the house <01004>_: and the other <0312> wing <03671> [was likewise] five <02568> cubits <0520>_, reaching <05060> (8688) to the wing <03671> of the other <0312> cherub <03742>_.
12And [one] wing <03671> of the other <0259> cherub <03742> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>_, reaching <05060> (8688) to the wall <07023> of the house <01004>_: and the other <0312> wing <03671> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520> [also], joining <01695> to the wing <03671> of the other <0312> cherub <03742>_.
13The wings <03671> of these cherubims <03742> spread themselves forth <06566> (8802) twenty <06242> cubits <0520>_: and they stood <05975> (8802) on their feet <07272>_, and their faces <06440> [were] inward <01004>_. {inward: or, toward the house}
14And he made <06213> (8799) the vail <06532> [of] blue <08504>_, and purple <0713>_, and crimson <03758>_, and fine linen <0948>_, and wrought <05927> (8686) cherubims <03742> thereon. {wrought: Heb. caused to ascend}
15Also he made <06213> (8799) before <06440> the house <01004> two <08147> pillars <05982> of thirty <07970> and five <02568> cubits <0520> high <0753>_, and the chapiter <06858> that [was] on the top <07218> of each of them [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>_. {high: Heb. long}
16And he made <06213> (8799) chains <08333>_, [as] in the oracle <01687>_, and put <05414> (8799) [them] on the heads <07218> of the pillars <05982>_; and made <06213> (8799) an hundred <03967> pomegranates <07416>_, and put <05414> (8799) [them] on the chains <08333>_.
17And he reared up <06965> (8686) the pillars <05982> before <06440> the temple <01964>_, one <0259> on the right hand <03225>_, and the other <0259> on the left <08040>_; and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of that on the right hand <03233> (8675) <03227> Jachin <03199>_, and the name <08034> of that on the left <08042> Boaz <01162>_. {Jachin: that is, He shall establish} {Boaz: that is, In it is strength}
