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 año cuarto de su reinado. 3 Estos son los cimientos que Salomón puso para la edificación de la casa de Dios: la longitud en codos (un codo: 45 centímetros), conforme a la medida antigua, era de 60 codos (27 metros), y la anchura de 20 codos (9 metros)(C). 4 Y el pórtico que estaba al frente del templo[a] tenía la misma longitud que la anchura de la casa, 20 codos (9 metros)(D), y la altura, 120; y lo revistió por dentro de oro puro. 5 Recubrió el salón principal(E) de madera de ciprés, la revistió de oro fino y la adornó con palmas y cadenillas. 6 Adornó además la casa con piedras preciosas; y el oro era oro de Parvaim[b]. 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 del Lugar Santísimo(H); su longitud, correspondiente a la anchura de la casa, era de 20 codos (9 metros), y su anchura era de 20 codos; la revistió de oro fino, que ascendía a 600 talentos (20.4 toneladas). 9 El peso de los clavos era de 50 siclos (570 gramos) de oro. También revistió de oro los aposentos altos(I).
10 Entonces hizo dos querubines de obra tallada en la habitación del Lugar Santísimo y los revistió de oro(J). 11 Y las alas de los dos querubines medían 20 codos (9 metros); el ala de uno, de 5 codos (2.25 metros), tocaba la pared de la casa, y su otra ala, de 5 codos, tocaba el ala del otro querubín. 12 Y el ala del otro querubín, de 5 codos (2.25 metros), tocaba la pared de la casa; y su otra ala, de 5 codos (2.25 metros), se unía al ala del primer querubín. 13 Las alas de estos querubines se extendían 20 codos (9 metros); estaban de pie, con sus rostros vueltos hacia el salón[c] principal. 14 Hizo después el velo de violeta, púrpura, carmesí y lino fino, e hizo bordar querubines en él(K).
15 (L)Hizo también dos columnas para el frente de la casa, de 35 codos (15.75 metros) de alto, y el capitel encima de cada una era de 5 codos (2.25 metros). 16 Hizo asimismo cadenillas en el santuario interior, y las puso encima de las columnas; e hizo 100 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[d] y a la de la izquierda Boaz[e](M).

Salomón edifica el templo
(1 R. 6.1-38)
3 Comenzó Salomón a edificar la casa de Jehová en Jerusalén, en el monte Moriah, que había sido mostrado a David su padre, en el lugar que David había preparado en la era de Ornán jebuseo. 2 Y comenzó a edificar en el mes segundo, a los dos días del mes, en el cuarto año de su reinado. 3 Estas son las medidas que dio Salomón a los cimientos de la casa de Dios. La primera, la longitud, de sesenta codos, y la anchura de veinte codos. 4 El pórtico que estaba al frente del edificio era de veinte codos de largo, igual al ancho de la casa, y su altura de ciento veinte codos; y lo cubrió por dentro de oro puro. 5 Y techó el cuerpo mayor del edificio con madera de ciprés, la cual cubrió de oro fino, e hizo realzar en ella palmeras y cadenas. 6 Cubrió también la casa de piedras preciosas para ornamento; y el oro era oro de Parvaim. 7 Así que cubrió la casa, sus vigas, sus umbrales, sus paredes y sus puertas, con oro; y esculpió querubines en las paredes.
8 Hizo asimismo el lugar santísimo,(A) cuya longitud era de veinte codos según el ancho del frente de la casa, y su anchura de veinte codos; y lo cubrió de oro fino que ascendía a seiscientos talentos. 9 Y el peso de los clavos era de uno hasta cincuenta siclos de oro. Cubrió también de oro los aposentos.
10 Y dentro del lugar santísimo hizo dos querubines(B) de madera, los cuales fueron cubiertos de oro. 11 La longitud de las alas de los querubines era de veinte codos; porque una ala era de cinco codos, la cual llegaba hasta la pared de la casa, y la otra de cinco codos, la cual tocaba el ala del otro querubín. 12 De la misma manera una ala del otro querubín era de cinco codos, la cual llegaba hasta la pared de la casa, y la otra era de cinco codos, que tocaba el ala del otro querubín. 13 Estos querubines tenían las alas extendidas por veinte codos, y estaban en pie con los rostros hacia la casa. 14 Hizo también el velo(C) de azul, púrpura, carmesí y lino, e hizo realzar querubines en él.
Las dos columnas
(1 R. 7.15-22)
15 Delante de la casa hizo dos columnas de treinta y cinco codos de altura cada una, con sus capiteles encima, de cinco codos. 16 Hizo asimismo cadenas en el santuario, y las puso sobre los capiteles de las columnas; e hizo cien granadas, las cuales puso en las cadenas. 17 Y colocó las columnas delante del templo, una a la mano derecha, y otra a la izquierda; y a la de la mano derecha llamó Jaquín, y a la de la izquierda, Boaz.
2 Chronicles 3
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.
2 Chronicles 3
New King James Version
Solomon Builds the Temple(A)
3 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. 2 And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 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. 4 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. 5 (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. 6 And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 7 He also overlaid the house—the beams and doorposts, its walls and doors—with gold; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 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. 9 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.
