  6:1 ¶
And it came to pass in the four hundred and fortieth year after the departure of the children of Israel out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, in the fourth year and second month of the reign of king Solomon over Israel, that the king commanded that they should take great [and] costly stones for the foundation of the house, and hewn stones. And the men of Solomon, and the men of Huram{gr.Chiram} hewed [the stones], and laid them [for a foundation]. In the fourth year he laid the foundation of the house of the Lord, in the month Ziu, even in the second month. In the eleventh year, in the month Baal, this [is] the eighth month, the house was completed according to all its plan, and according to all its arrangement. |

6:1 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the four°
hundred°°
and eightieth°
year°
after the children°
of Israel°
were come out°°
of the land°°
of Egypt,°
in the fourth°
year°
of Solomon's°
reign°°
over°
Israel,°
in the month°
Zif,°
which°
[is] the second°
month,°
that he began to build°°
the house°
of Yahweh.° |
|
6:2
And the house which the king built to the Lord [was] forty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height five and twenty cubits. |
|
6:2
And the house°
which°
king°
Solomon°
built°°
for Yahweh,°
the length°
thereof [was] threescore°
cubits,°
and the breadth°
thereof twenty°
[cubits], and the height°
thereof thirty°
cubits.° |
|
6:3
And the porch in front of the temple-- twenty cubits [was] its length according to the breadth of the house in front of the house: and he built the house, and finished it. |
|
6:3
And the porch°
before°°
the temple°
of the house,°
twenty°
cubits°
[was] the length°
thereof, according°°
to the breadth°
of the house;°
[and] ten°
cubits°
[was] the breadth°
thereof before°°
the house.° |
|
6:4
And he made to the house secret windows inclining inward. |
|
6:4
And for the house°
he made°°
windows°
of narrow°°
lights.° |
|
6:5 ¶
And against the wall of the house he set chambers round about the temple and the ark. |
|
6:5 ¶
And against°
the wall°
of the house°
he built°°
chambers°°
round about,°
[against]°
the walls°
of the house°
round about,°
[both] of the temple°
and of the oracle:°
and he made°°
chambers°
round about:° |
|
6:6
The under side [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [part] six, and the third [was] seven cubits broad; for he formed an interval to the house round about without the house, that they might not touch the walls of the house. |
|
6:6
The nethermost°
chamber°°
[was] five°
cubits°
broad,°
and the middle°
[was] six°
cubits°
broad,°
and the third°
[was] seven°
cubits°
broad:°
for°
without°
[in the wall] of°
the house°
he made°°
narrowed rests°
round about,°
that [the beams] should not°
be fastened°°
in the walls°
of the house.° |
|
6:7
And the house was built in the construction of it with rough hewn stones: and there was not heard in the house in the building of it hammer or axe, or any iron tool. |
|
6:7
And the house,°
when it was in building,°°
was built°°
of stone°
made ready°
before it was brought°
thither: so that there was neither°
hammer°°
nor axe°
[nor] any°
tool°
of iron°
heard°°
in the house,°
while it was in building.°° |
|
6:8
And the porch of the under side [was] below the right wing of the house, and [there was] a winding ascent into the middle [chamber], and from the middle to the third story. |
|
6:8
The door°
for the middle°
chamber°
[was] in°
the right°
side°
of the house:°
and they went up°°
with winding stairs°
into°
the middle°
[chamber], and out of°
the middle°
into°
the third.° |
|
6:9
So he built the house and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house with cedars. |
|
6:9
So he built°°°
the house,°
and finished°°
it; and covered°°°
the house°
with beams°
and boards°
of cedar.° |
|
6:10
And he made the partitions through all the house, each five cubits high, and enclosed each partition with cedar boards. |
|
6:10
And [then] he built°°°
chambers°°
against°
all°
the house,°
five°
cubits°
high:°
and they rested°°
on°°
the house°
[with] timber°
of cedar.° |

6:11 ¶
And the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
to°
Solomon,°
saying,°° |
|
6:12
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:12
[Concerning] this°
house°
which°
thou°
art in building,°°
if°
thou wilt walk°°°
in my statutes,°
and execute°°
my judgments,°
and keep°°°
all°
my commandments°
to walk°°°
in them; then will I perform°°°
my word°
with thee,°
which°
I spake°°
unto°
David°
thy father:° |
|
6:13
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:13
And I will dwell°°
among°
the children°
of Israel,°
and will not°
forsake°°°
my people°
Israel.° |
|
6:14
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:14
So Solomon°
built°°°
the house,°
and finished°°
it. |
|
6:15 ¶
And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir. |
|
6:15
And he built°°°
the walls°
of the house°
within°°
with boards°
of cedar,°
both the floor°°
of the house,°
and the walls°
of the cieling:°
[and] he covered°°
[them] on the inside°°
with wood,°
and covered°°°
the floor°
of the house°
with planks°
of fir.° |
|
6:16
And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place. |
|
6:16
And he built°°°
twenty°
cubits°
on the sides°°
of the house,°
both°
the floor°
and the walls°
with boards°
of cedar:°
he even built°°
[them] for it within,°°
[even] for the oracle,°
[even] for the most°
holy°
[place]. |
|
6:17
And the temple was forty cubits [in extent], |
|
6:17
And the house,°
that°
[is], the temple°
before°
it, was°
forty°
cubits°
[long]. |
|
6:18
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:18
And the cedar°
of°
the house°
within°
[was] carved°
with knops°
and open°°°
flowers:°
all°
[was] cedar;°
there was no°
stone°
seen.°° |
|
6:19
in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, [in order] to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. |
|
6:19
And the oracle°
he prepared°°
in°
the house°°
within,°°
to set°°
there°°
the ark°
of the covenant°
of Yahweh.° |
|
6:20
The length [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth [was] twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold. |
|
6:20
And the oracle°
in the forepart°
[was] twenty°
cubits°
in length,°
and twenty°
cubits°
in breadth,°
and twenty°
cubits°
in the height°
thereof: and he overlaid°°
it with pure°°
gold;°
and [so] covered°°
the altar°
[which was of] cedar.° |
|
6:21
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:21
So Solomon°
overlaid°°°
the house°
within°°
with pure°°
gold:°
and he made a partition°°
by the chains°°°
of gold°
before°
the oracle;°
and he overlaid°°
it with gold.° |
|
6:22
And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished [gilding] the whole house. |
|
6:22
And the whole°
house°
he overlaid°°
with gold,°
until°
he had finished°°
all°
the house:°
also the whole°
altar°
that°
[was] by the oracle°
he overlaid°°
with gold.° |
|
6:23 ¶
And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size. |
|
6:23 ¶
And within the oracle°
he made°°
two°
cherubims°
[of] olive°
tree,°
[each] ten°
cubits°
high.° |
|
6:24
And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. |
|
6:24
And five°
cubits°
[was] the one°
wing°
of the cherub,°
and five°
cubits°
the other°
wing°
of the cherub:°
from the uttermost part°°
of the one wing°
unto°
the uttermost part°
of the other°
[were] ten°
cubits.° |
|
6:25
Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure. |
|
6:25
And the other°
cherub°
[was] ten°
cubits:°
both°
the cherubims°
[were] of one°
measure°
and one°
size.° |
|
6:26
And the height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] with the second cherub. |
|
6:26
The height°
of the one°
cherub°
[was] ten°
cubits,°
and so°
[was it] of the other°
cherub.° |
|
6:27
And both the cherubs [were] in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other. |
|
6:27
And he set°°°
the cherubims°
within°
the inner°
house:°
and they stretched forth°°°
the wings°
of the cherubims,°
so that the wing°
of the one°
touched°°
the [one] wall,°
and the wing°
of the other°
cherub°
touched°°
the other°
wall;°
and their wings°
touched°°
one°
another°°
in°
the midst°
of the house.° |
|
6:28
And he covered the cherubs with gold. |
|
6:28
And he overlaid°°°
the cherubims°
with gold.° |
|
6:29
He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and [he sculptured] palm trees within and without [the house]. |
|
6:29
And he carved°°
all°
the walls°
of the house°
round about°
with carved°
figures°
of cherubims°
and palm trees°
and open°°°
flowers,°
within°°°
and without.° |
|
6:30
And he covered the floor of the house within and without with gold. |
|
6:30
And the floor°
of the house°
he overlaid°°
with gold,°
within°
and without.° |
|
6:31 ¶
And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, [there were] porches in a four-fold way. |
|
6:31 ¶
And for the entering°
of the oracle°
he made°°
doors°
[of] olive°
tree:°
the lintel°
[and] side posts°
[were] a fifth part°
[of the wall]. |
|
6:32
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:32
The two°
doors°
also [were of] olive°
tree;°
and he carved°°
upon°
them carvings°
of cherubims°
and palm trees°
and open°°°
flowers,°
and overlaid°°
[them] with gold,°
and spread°°°
gold°
upon°
the cherubims,°
and upon°
the palm trees.° |
|
6:33
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
6:33
So°
also made°°
he for the door°
of the temple°
posts°
[of] olive°
tree,°
a fourth part°°°
[of the wall]. |
|
6:34
In both the doors [were] planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned [on hinges], |
|
6:34
And the two°
doors°
[were of] fir°
tree:°
the two°
leaves°
of the one°
door°
[were] folding,°
and the two°
leaves°
of the other°
door°
[were] folding.° |
|
6:35
being carved with cherubs, and [there were] palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it [was] overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving. |
|
6:35
And he carved°°
[thereon] cherubims°
and palm trees°
and open°°°
flowers:°
and covered°°
[them] with gold°
fitted°°
upon°
the carved work.°° |
|
6:36 ¶
And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about, and he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple. |
|
6:36 ¶
And he built°°
the inner°°
