Construcción del templo(A)

3 Salomón comenzó a construir el templo del Señor en el monte Moria, en Jerusalén, donde el Señor se le había aparecido a su padre David. Lo construyó en el lugar que David había destinado, esto es, en la parcela de Arauna,[a] el jebuseo. 2 La construcción la comenzó el día dos del mes segundo del cuarto año de su reinado.

3 Salomón determinó que los cimientos del templo de Dios fueran de veintisiete metros de largo por nueve metros de ancho.[b] 4 El vestíbulo de la nave medía lo mismo que el ancho del templo, es decir, también medía nueve metros de largo, y nueve metros de alto. Por dentro, Salomón lo recubrió de oro puro. 5 Recubrió la nave central con paneles de madera de ciprés, sobre los cuales colocó figuras de palmeras y cadenas de oro fino. 6 El templo lo adornó con piedras preciosas y con oro de Parvayin. 7 En el interior del templo recubrió de oro las vigas, los umbrales, las paredes y las puertas, y en las paredes esculpió querubines.

8 Salomón hizo también el Lugar Santísimo, el cual medía lo mismo que el ancho del templo, es decir, nueve metros de largo y nueve metros de ancho. Lo recubrió por dentro con veintitrés toneladas[c] de oro fino. 9 Cada clavo de oro pesaba medio kilo.[d] También recubrió de oro las habitaciones superiores.

10 En el Lugar Santísimo mandó tallar dos querubines, y los recubrió de oro. 11 Las alas de los querubines medían nueve metros de largo. Cada una de las alas del primer querubín medía dos metros con veinticinco centímetros; una de ellas tocaba la pared interior de la habitación, y la otra rozaba el ala del segundo querubín. 12 Cada una de las alas del segundo querubín también medía dos metros con veinticinco centímetros; una de ellas tocaba la pared interior de la habitación, y la otra rozaba el ala del primer querubín. 13 Los querubines estaban de pie, con el rostro hacia la nave, y sus alas extendidas medían en total nueve metros.

14 La cortina la hizo de púrpura, carmesí, escarlata y lino, y sobre ella mandó bordar querubines.

15 En la fachada del templo levantó dos columnas de dieciséis metros de altura, y el capitel que coronaba cada columna medía más de dos metros; 16 además, mandó hacer unas cadenas trenzadas[e] y las colocó en lo alto de las columnas; hizo también cien granadas, y las intercaló entre las cadenas. 17 Levantó las columnas en la fachada del templo, una en el lado sur y otra en el lado norte. A la primera la llamó Jaquín, y a la segunda, Boaz.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)

3 Then Solomon began to build(B) the temple of the Lord(C) in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah[a](D) the Jebusite, the place provided by David. 2 He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.(E)

3 The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide[b](F) (using the cubit of the old standard). 4 The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits[c] long across the width of the building and twenty[d] cubits high.

He overlaid the inside with pure gold. 5 He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree(G) and chain designs. 6 He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim(H) on the walls.

8 He built the Most Holy Place,(I) its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents[e] of fine gold. 9 The gold nails(J) weighed fifty shekels.[f] He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.

10 For the Most Holy Place he made a pair(K) of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold. 11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits[g] long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub. 12 Similarly one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched the other temple wall, and its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim(L) extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.[h]

14 He made the curtain(M) of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim(N) worked into it.

15 For the front of the temple he made two pillars,(O) which together were thirty-five cubits[i] long, each with a capital(P) five cubits high. 16 He made interwoven chains[j](Q) and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates(R) and attached them to the chains. 17 He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin[k] and the one to the north Boaz.[l]

2 Chronicles 3
Authorized (King James) Version

3 Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. 6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. 8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold. 11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. 12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon. 15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
