Ang kaayusan ng templo:—ang sanggunian, querubin, haligi, dambana, at dagatdagatan na binubo.

Nang magkagayo'y pinasimulan ni (A)Salomon na itayo ang bahay ng Panginoon, sa Jerusalem sa bundok ng (B)Moria, na pinagkakitaan ng Panginoon kay David na kaniyang ama, sa dakong kaniyang pinaghandaan na pinagtakdaan ni David sa giikan ni Ornan na (C)Jebuseo.

At siya'y nagpasimulang magtayo nang ikalawang araw ng ikalawang buwan ng ikaapat na taon ng kaniyang paghahari.

Ang mga ito nga ay ang mga tatagangbaon na inilagay ni (D)Salomon na ukol sa pagtatayo ng bahay ng Dios. Ang haba sa mga siko ayon sa panukat ng una ay anim na pung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawangpung siko.

At ang (E)portiko na nasa harap ng bahay, ang haba niyao'y ayon sa luwang ng bahay ay dalawang pung siko, at ang taas ay isang daang at dalawangpu: at kaniyang binalutan sa loob ng taganas na ginto.

At ang lalong malaking (F)bahay ay kaniyang kinisamihan ng kahoy na abeto, na kaniyang binalot ng dalisay na ginto, at ginawan niya ng mga palma at mga tanikala.

At kaniyang ginayakan ang bahay ng mga mahalagang bato na pinakapangpaganda: at ang ginto, ay ginto sa Parvaim.

Kaniyang binalutan din naman ng ginto ang bahay, ang mga sikang, ang mga pintuan, at ang mga panig niyaon at ang mga pinto; at inukitan ng mga querubin sa mga panig niyaon.

At kaniyang ginawa ang (G)kabanalbanalang bahay; ang haba niyaon, ayon sa luwang ng bahay, ay dalawangpung siko, at ang luwang niyaon ay dalawangpung siko; at kaniyang binalutan ng dalisay na ginto, na may timbang na anim na raang talento.

At ang bigat ng mga pako ay limangpung siklong ginto. At kaniyang binalot ng ginto ang pinakamataas na (H)silid.

10 At sa kabanalbanalang bahay ay gumawa siya ng (I)dalawang querubin na gawang nilarawan; at binalot nila ng ginto.

11 At ang mga pakpak ng mga querubin ay dalawangpung siko ang haba; ang pakpak ng isang querubin ay limang siko, na abot sa panig ng bahay; at ang kabilang pakpak ay gayon din na limang siko na abot sa pakpak ng isang querubin.

12 At ang pakpak ng isang querubin ay limang siko, na abot sa panig ng bahay: at ang kabilang pakpak ay limang siko rin, na nakadaiti sa pakpak ng isang querubin.

13 Ang mga pakpak ng mga querubing ito ay nangakaladlad ng dalawangpung siko: at sila'y nangakatayo ng kanilang mga paa, at ang kanilang mga mukha ay paharap sa dako ng bahay.

14 At kaniyang ginawa ang lambong na bughaw, at kulay ube, at matingkad na pula, at mainam na kayong lino, at ginawan ng mga querubin.

15 Siya'y gumawa rin sa harap ng bahay ng (J)dalawang haligi na may (K)tatlongpu't limang siko ang taas, at ang kapitel na nasa ibabaw ng bawa't isa sa mga yaon ay limang siko.

16 At kaniyang ginawan ng mga tanikala ang sanggunian at inilagay sa ibabaw ng mga haligi; at siya'y gumawa ng isang daang granada, at inilagay sa mga tanilaka.

17 At kaniyang itinayo ang mga haligi sa harap ng templo, ang isa'y sa kanan, at ang isa'y sa kaliwa; at tinawag ang pangalan niyaong nasa kanan ay Jachin, at ang pangalan niyaong nasa kaliwa ay Boaz.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)

Now (B)Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at (C)Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where [a]the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of (D)Ornan[b] the Jebusite. And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.

This is the foundation (E)which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits. And the (F)vestibule that was in front of [c]the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the height was [d]one hundred and twenty. He overlaid the inside with pure gold. (G)The larger [e]room he (H)paneled with cypress which he overlaid with fine gold, and he carved palm trees and chainwork on it. And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim. He also overlaid the house—the beams and doorposts, its walls and doors—with gold; and he carved cherubim on the walls.

And he made the (I)Most Holy Place. Its length was according to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. He overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold. The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold; and he overlaid the upper (J)area with gold. 10 (K)In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim, fashioned by carving, and overlaid them with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in overall length: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub; 12 one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing also was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim spanned twenty cubits overall. They stood on their feet, and they faced inward. 14 And he made the (L)veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and wove cherubim into it.

15 Also he made in front of the [f]temple (M)two pillars [g]thirty-five cubits [h]high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 16 He made wreaths of chainwork, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on top of the pillars; and he made (N)one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the wreaths of chainwork. 17 Then he (O)set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand [i]Jachin, and the name of the one on the left [j]Boaz.

Building the Temple

Then Solomon began(A) to build the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah(B) where the Lord[a] had appeared to his father David, at the site David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan[b] the Jebusite. He began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign. These are Solomon’s foundations[c] for building God’s temple: the length[d] was 90 feet,[e] and the width 30 feet.[f] The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was 30 feet[g] wide; its height was 30 feet;[h][i] he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold. The larger room[j] he paneled with cypress wood, overlaid with fine gold, and decorated with palm trees and chains. He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was the gold of Parvaim. He overlaid the temple—the beams, the thresholds, its walls and doors—with gold,(C) and he carved cherubim on the walls.(D)

The Most Holy Place

Then he made the most holy place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple, 30 feet,[k] and its width was 30 feet.[l](E) He overlaid it with 45,000 pounds[m] of fine gold. The weight of the nails was 20 ounces[n] of gold, and he overlaid the ceiling with gold.

10 He made(F) two cherubim of sculptured work, for the most holy place, and he overlaid them with gold. 11 The overall length of the wings of the cherubim was 30 feet:[o] the wing of one was 7½ feet,[p] touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7½ feet,[q] touching the wing of the other cherub. 12 The wing of the other[r] cherub was 7½ feet,[s] touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7½ feet,[t] reaching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wingspan of these cherubim was 30 feet.[u] They stood on their feet and faced the larger room.[v]

14 He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, and he wove cherubim into it.(G)

The Bronze Pillars

15 In front of the temple(H) he made two pillars, each 27 feet[w][x] high. The capital on top of each was 7½ feet[y] high. 16 He had made chainwork in the inner sanctuary and also put it on top of the pillars.(I) He made 100 pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork. 17 Then he set up the pillars in front of the sanctuary, one on the right and one on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin[z] and the one on the left Boaz.[aa]
