2 Chronicles 3
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.

Salomón construye el templo
(1 R 6:1-38)
3 Salomón empezó a construir el templo del SEÑOR en Jerusalén en el monte Moria, donde el SEÑOR se le había aparecido a su papá David. Ese era el lugar que David había destinado para ello, o sea en el lugar donde Arauna el jebuseo trillaba el trigo. 2 Salomón comenzó la obra el día dos del segundo mes del cuarto año de su reinado.
3 Salomón dispuso que las medidas de los cimientos del templo fueran 27 metros de largo por 9 de ancho.[a] 4 El vestíbulo que estaba delante del templo medía lo mismo que el ancho del templo, o sea, 9 metros[b] de largo; su altura también era de 9 metros. Salomón hizo recubrir de oro puro las paredes y el cielo raso. 5 Recubrió la parte principal del templo con madera de ciprés y recubrió la madera con oro puro grabado con figuras de palmeras y cadenas. 6 Adornó el templo con piedras preciosas y con oro de la mejor calidad traído de Parvayin. 7 Las vigas, los umbrales, las paredes y las puertas del templo estaban enchapados con oro y las paredes estaban grabadas con figuras de querubines.
8 En el templo hizo construir el Lugar Santísimo. Medía lo mismo que el ancho del templo, o sea 9 metros de largo por 9 de ancho. Luego lo recubrió con 23 toneladas[c] de oro fino. 9 Se usaron clavos que pesaban medio kilo[d] de oro puro cada uno. También hizo recubrir de oro los salones del piso alto.
10 Dentro del Lugar Santísimo hizo tallar dos querubines, que también estaban recubiertos de oro. 11 Las alas de los dos querubines se extendían en una longitud de unos 9 metros en total. Cada ala de los querubines medía 2.25 metros de largo, un ala tocaba la pared y la otra tocaba la punta del ala del otro querubín. 12 Cada ala del segundo querubín medía lo mismo, 2.25 metros, y una de ellas tocaba la punta del ala del primer querubín y la otra tocaba la pared. 13 Las alas extendidas de los dos querubines medían 9 metros. Estaban de pie haciendo guardia, con el rostro hacia el Lugar Santo. 14 Salomón mandó hacer una cortina de tela azul y roja, carmesí y lino fino, e hizo bordar querubines en ella.
Salomón hizo dos columnas
(1 R 7:15-22)
15 Para la fachada del templo hizo dos columnas de 16 metros de alto con capiteles de 2.25 metros de alto. 16 Como había hecho un diseño de cadenas dentro del santuario, lo hizo también para la parte más alta de las columnas, e hizo cien granadas y las puso en las cadenas. 17 Instaló las columnas en la fachada del templo, una a la derecha y otra a la izquierda. A la columna que estaba a la derecha la llamó Jaquín, y a la que estaba a la izquierda Boaz.

3 Then Shlomo began to build the house of Adonai in Yerushalayim on Mount Moriyah, where Adonai had appeared to David his father. Provision had been made for this at the place David had chosen, the threshing-floor of Ornan the Y’vusi. 2 He began building in the fourth year of his reign, on the second day of the second month.
3 These are the foundations Shlomo laid for building the house of God: the length in old-standard cubits was sixty cubits [105 feet] and the width twenty cubits [thirty-five feet]. 4 The length of the hall fronting the house was the same as the house’s width, thirty-five feet and the height 210 [feet]; and he overlaid it with pure gold.
5 The larger house he covered with cypress-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold and embossed with palm trees and chains. 6 He also decorated the building with precious stones and gold from Parvayim, 7 overlaying the house and its beams, thresholds, walls and doors with gold and carving k’ruvim on the walls.
8 Then he made the Especially Holy Place; its length matched the width of the house, thirty-five feet, and its width was thirty-five feet. He overlaid it with twenty tons of fine gold. 9 The weight of the nails was one-and-a-quarter pounds of gold, and he overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10 Inside the Especially Holy Place he made two k’ruvim of cast metal, and they overlaid them with gold. 11 The wings of the k’ruvim were thirty-five feet long — the wing of the one keruv was eight-and-three-quarters feet long and touched the wall of the house; the other wing was also eight-and-three-quarters feet long, so that it touched the wing of the other keruv. 12 The wing of the other keruv was eight-and-three-quarters feet long, touching the wall of the house; and the other wing was also eight-and-three-quarters feet long, touching the wing of the first keruv. 13 The wings of these k’ruvim spread out over thirty-five feet. They stood on their feet with their faces turned inward.
14 He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson material and of fine linen, with a design of k’ruvim worked into it.
15 In front of the house he made two columns sixty-one-and-a-quarter feet high, with a capital of eight-and-three-quarters feet on top of each. 16 He made chains in the sanctuary and added them to the tops of the columns, and he made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. 17 He erected the columns in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left; the one on the right he called Yakhin, and the one on the left he called Bo‘az.

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]
