建造圣殿(A)

所罗门在耶路撒冷,在耶和华向他父亲大卫显现过的摩利亚山上,就是在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上,大卫预备的地方,开工建造耶和华的殿。 所罗门执政后第四年二月初二开始建造。 所罗门建造 神殿宇的根基是这样:按古时的尺寸,长二十七公尺,宽九公尺。 殿前走廊长九公尺,与殿的宽度相等;高九公尺(“高九公尺”原文作“高一百二十”;现参照古译本修译);里面贴上纯金。 大殿的墙都盖上松木,又贴上精金,又在上面刻上棕树和链子。 又用宝石装饰殿墙,十分华美;金子都是巴瓦音的金子。 正殿和殿的栋梁、门槛、墙壁和门扇,都贴上金子;墙上刻上基路伯。

建造至圣所(B)

他又建造了至圣所,长九公尺,和殿的宽度相等,宽度也是九公尺;里面都贴上精金,共用了二十公吨金子。 钉子共重五百七十克金子。阁楼也贴上金子。

10 在至圣所里,雕刻了两个基路伯,都包上金子。 11 两个基路伯的翅膀共长九公尺;一个基路伯的一边翅膀长两公尺两公寸,触着殿墙;另一边翅膀也长两公尺两公寸,和另一个基路伯的翅膀相接。 12 另一个基路伯的一边翅膀也长两公尺两公寸,触着殿墙;另一边的翅膀也长两公尺两公寸,和前一个基路伯的翅膀相接。 13 这两个基路伯的翅膀都张开,共长九公尺;这两个基路伯都面向殿内站立。 14 所罗门又用蓝色紫色朱红色线和细麻做幔子,上面绣上基路伯。

建造两根柱子(C)

15 在殿的前面又做了两根柱子,高十五公尺半,每根柱上面的柱顶,高两公尺两公寸。 16 又做了像项链(按照《马索拉文本》,“像项链”作“在内殿”,意思不明确,可能是“像项链”的误写)的链子,安放在柱头上;又做了石榴一百个,安放在链子上。 17 他把这两根柱子立在殿前,一根在左面,一根在右面;右面的叫雅斤,左面的叫波阿斯。

Solomon Builds the Temple

Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Mori′ah, where the Lord had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb′usite. He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign. These are Solomon’s measurements[a] for building the house of God: the length, in cubits of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house;[b] and its height was a hundred and twenty cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold. The nave he lined with cypress, and covered it with fine gold, and made palms and chains on it. He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parva′im. So he lined the house with gold—its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.

And he made the most holy place; its length, corresponding to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth was twenty cubits; he overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold. The weight of the nails was one shekel[c] to fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 In the most holy place he made two cherubim of wood[d] and overlaid[e] them with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim together extended twenty cubits: one wing of the one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub; 12 and of this cherub, one wing, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and the other wing, also of five cubits, was joined to the wing of the first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits; the cherubim[f] stood on their feet, facing the nave. 14 And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and worked cherubim on it.

15 In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. 16 He made chains like a necklace[g] and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 17 He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Bo′az.

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.

The Temple Built and Furnished(A)

Solomon began to build the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared to his father David. There David had prepared the site on the threshing floor [a] of Ornan the Jebusite. He began to build on the second day in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.

This is how Solomon laid the foundation to build God’s temple. It was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide. (They used the old standard measurement.) The entrance hall in front of ⌞the main room⌟ was 30 feet wide (the same as the width of the temple) and 30 feet high. He covered its inside walls with pure gold. He paneled the larger building with cypress, overlaid it with fine gold, and decorated it with ⌞designs in the form of⌟ palm trees and chains. He covered the building with gems to beautify it and used gold from Parvaim. He also overlaid the building, the rafters, the threshold, the walls, and the doors with gold, and he carved angels [b] into the walls.

He made the most holy place. It was as long as the temple was wide, 30 feet long. It was also 30 feet wide. He overlaid it with 45,000 pounds of fine gold. The gold nails weighed 20 ounces. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

10 In the most holy place he made two sculptured angels and covered them with gold. 11 The combined length of the angels’ wings was 30 feet. A wing of one of the angels was 7½ feet long and touched the wall of the building. Its other wing was 7½ feet long and touched one wing of the other. 12 The wing of the other one of the angels was 7½ feet long and touched the other wall of the building. Its other wing was 7½ feet long and touched the wing of the first. So the angels’ combined wingspan was 30 feet. 13 They stood on their feet and faced the main hall. 14 Solomon made the canopy of violet, purple, and dark red cloth and of linen and decorated it with angels.

15 He made two pillars for the front of the temple. They were 53 feet long, and the capital on each pillar was 7½ feet ⌞high⌟. 16 He made chains for the inner room and ⌞also⌟ put them on the capitals. He made 100 pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin [He Establishes] and the one on the left Boaz [In Him Is Strength].
