Dual Panel1Then Solomon<8010> began<2490> to build<1129> the house<1004> of the LORD<3068> in Jerusalem<3389> on Mount<2022> Moriah<4179>, where<834> the LORD had appeared<7200> to his father<1> David<1732>, at the place<4725> that David<1732> had prepared<3559> on the threshing<1637> floor<1637> of Ornan<771> the Jebusite<2983>.
2He began<2490> to build<1129> on the second<8145> day in the second<8145> month<2320> of the fourth<702> year<8141> of his reign<4438>.
3Now these<428> are the foundations<3245> which Solomon<8010> laid<3245> for building<1129> the house<1004> of God<430>. The length<753> in cubits<520>, according to the old<7223> standard<4060> was sixty<8346> cubits<520>, and the width<7341> twenty<6242> cubits<520>.
4The porch<197> which<834> was in front<6440> of the house was as long<753> as the width<7341> of the house<1004>, twenty<6242> cubits<520>, and the height<1363> 120 <3967><6242>; and inside<4480><6441> he overlaid<6823> it with pure<2889> gold<2091>.
5He overlaid<2645> the main<1419> room<1004> with cypress<1265> wood<6086> and overlaid<2645> it with fine<2896> gold<2091>, and ornamented<5927><5921> it with palm<8561> trees<8561> and chains<8333>.
6Further, he adorned<6823> the house<1004> with precious<3368> stones<68>; and the gold<2091> was gold<2091> from Parvaim<6516>.
7He also overlaid<2645> the house<1004> with gold<2091>--the beams<6982>, the thresholds<5592> and its walls<7023> and its doors<1817>; and he carved<6605> cherubim<3742> on the walls<7023>.
8Now he made<6213> the room<1004> of the holy<6944> of holies<6944>: its length<753> across<5921><6440> the width<7341> of the house<1004> was twenty<6242> cubits<520>, and its width<7341> was twenty<6242> cubits<520>; and he overlaid<2645> it with fine<2896> gold<2091>, amounting to 600 <8337><3967> talents<3603>.
9The weight<4948> of the nails<4548> was fifty<2572> shekels<8255> of gold<2091>. He also overlaid<2645> the upper<5944> rooms<5944> with gold<2091>.
10Then he made<6213> two<8147> sculptured<4639><6816> cherubim<3742> in the room<1004> of the holy<6944> of holies<6944> and overlaid<6823> them with gold<2091>.
11The wingspan<3671> of the cherubim<3742> was twenty<6242> cubits<520>; the wing<3671> of one<259>, of five<2568> cubits<520>, touched<5060> the wall<7023> of the house<1004>, and its other<312> wing<3671>, of five<2568> cubits<520>, touched<5060> the wing<3671> of the other<312> cherub<3742>.
12The wing<3671> of the other<312> cherub<3742>, of five<2568> cubits<520>, touched<5060> the wall<7023> of the house<1004>; and its other<312> wing<3671> of five<2568> cubits<520> was attached<1695> to the wing<3671> of the first<312> cherub<3742>.
13The wings<3671> of these<428> cherubim<3742> extended<6566> twenty<6242> cubits<520>, and they stood<5975> on their feet<7272> facing<6440> the main room<1004>.
14He made<6213> the veil<6532> of violet<8504>, purple<713>, crimson<3758> and fine<948> linen<948>, and he worked<5927> cherubim<3742> on it.
15He also made<6213> two<8147> pillars<5982> for the front<6440> of the house<1004>, thirty-five<7970><2568> cubits<520> high<753>, and the capital<6858> on the top<7218> of each was five<2568> cubits<520>.
16He made<6213> chains<8333> in the inner<1687> sanctuary<1687> and placed<5414> them on the tops<7218> of the pillars<5982>; and he made<6213> one hundred<3967> pomegranates<7416> and placed<5414> them on the chains<8333>.
17He erected<6965> the pillars<5982> in front<6440> of the temple<1964>, one<259> on the right<3225> and the other<259> on the left<8040>, and named<7121><8034> the one on the right<3233> Jachin<3199> and the one on the left<8042> Boaz<1162>.
