Salomón edifica el templo

3 Entonces Salomón comenzó a edificar la casa del Señor(A) en Jerusalén en el monte Moriah, donde el Señor se había aparecido a su padre David, en el lugar que David había preparado en la era de Ornán jebuseo(B). 2 Y comenzó a edificar en el segundo día del segundo mes, del[a] año cuarto de su reinado. 3 Estos son los cimientos que Salomón puso para la edificación de[b] la casa de Dios. La longitud en codos[c], conforme a la medida antigua, era de sesenta codos, y la anchura de veinte codos(C). 4 Y el pórtico que estaba al frente del templo[d] tenía la misma longitud que la anchura de la casa, veinte codos(D), y la altura, ciento veinte; y lo revistió por dentro de oro puro. 5 Recubrió el salón principal[e](E) de madera de ciprés, la revistió de oro fino y la adornó[f] con palmas y cadenillas. 6 Adornó[g] además la casa con piedras preciosas; y el oro era oro de Parvaim[h]. 7 (F)También revistió de oro la casa: las vigas, los umbrales, sus paredes y sus puertas; y esculpió querubines en las paredes(G).

8 Hizo asimismo la habitación[i] del lugar santísimo(H); su longitud, correspondiente a[j] la anchura de la casa, era de veinte codos, y su anchura era de veinte codos; la revistió de oro fino, que ascendía a seiscientos talentos. 9 El peso de los clavos era de cincuenta siclos de oro. También revistió de oro los aposentos altos(I).

10 Entonces hizo dos querubines de obra tallada en la habitación[k] del lugar santísimo y los revistió de oro(J). 11 Y las alas de los dos querubines medían veinte codos; el ala de uno, de cinco codos, tocaba la pared de la casa, y su otra ala, de cinco codos, tocaba el ala del otro querubín. 12 Y el ala del otro querubín, de cinco codos, tocaba la pared de la casa; y su otra ala, de cinco codos, se unía al ala del primer[l] querubín. 13 Las alas de estos querubines se extendían veinte codos; estaban de pie, con sus rostros vueltos hacia el salón[m] principal. 14 Hizo después el velo de violeta, púrpura, carmesí y lino fino, e hizo bordar[n] querubines en él(K).

15 (L)Hizo también dos columnas para el frente de la casa, de treinta y cinco codos de alto[o], y el capitel encima de cada una era de cinco codos. 16 Hizo asimismo cadenillas en el santuario interior, y las puso encima de las columnas; e hizo cien granadas y las puso en las cadenillas. 17 Y erigió las columnas delante del templo, una a la derecha y otra a la izquierda, y llamó a la de la derecha Jaquín[p] y a la de la izquierda Boaz[q](M).

New International Version

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
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.
