The Temple Built in Seven Years(A)
6 Solomon began to build the Lord’s temple 480 years after Israel left Egypt. He began building in the month of Ziv (the second month) of the fourth year of his reign over Israel. 2 The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high. 3 The entrance hall in front of the main room of the temple was the same length as the shorter side of the temple. It extended 15 feet in front of the temple. 4 He also made latticed windows for the temple.
5 He built an annex containing side rooms all around the temple. This annex was next to the walls of the main building and the inner sanctuary. 6 The ⌞interior of⌟ the lowest story of the annex was 7½ feet wide, the second story was 9 feet wide, and the third story was 10½ feet wide. Solomon made ledges all around the temple so that this annex would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 The temple was built with stone blocks that were finished at the quarry. No hammer, chisel, or any other iron tool made a sound at the temple construction site.
8 The entrance to the first story [a] was on the south side of the temple. A staircase went up to the middle story and then to the third story.
9 When he had finished building the walls, he roofed the temple with rows of cedar beams and planks. 10 He built ⌞each story of the⌟ annex 7½ feet high alongside the entire temple. Its cedar beams were attached to the temple.
11 The Lord spoke to Solomon, saying, 12 “This concerns the temple you are building: If you live by my laws, follow my rules, and keep my commands, I will fulfill the promise I made about you to your father David. 13 I will live among the Israelites and never abandon my people.”
14 When Solomon had finished building the temple’s ⌞frame⌟, 15 he began to line the inside walls of the temple with cedar boards. He paneled the inside of the temple with wood from floor to ceiling. He covered the floor of the temple with cypress planks.
16 He sectioned off a 30-foot-long room at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from the floor to the rafters. He built it to serve as an inner room, the most holy place. 17 The 60-foot-long room at the front of the temple served as the main hall. 18 Gourds and flowers were carved into the cedar paneling inside the temple. Everything was ⌞covered with⌟ cedar. No stone could be seen.
19 He prepared the inner room of the temple in order to put the ark of the Lord’s promise there. 20 The inner room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. Solomon covered it and the cedar altar with pure gold. 21 He covered the inside of the temple with pure gold. He put golden chains across the front of the inner room which was covered with gold. 22 He covered the entire inside of the temple with gold. He also covered the entire altar in the inner room with gold.
23 In the inner room he made two 15-foot-tall angels [b] out of olive wood. 24 Each wing of the angels was 7½ feet long. The distance from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was 15 feet. 25 Both angels had a 15-foot ⌞wingspan⌟. Both had the same measurements and the same shape. 26 Each was 15 feet high. 27 Solomon put the angels in the inner room of the temple. The wings of the angels extended so that the wing of one of the angels touched the one wall, and the wing of the other touched the other wall. Their remaining wings touched each other in the center of the room. 28 He covered the angels with gold.
29 He carved angels, palm trees, and flowers into the walls all around the inner and outer rooms of the temple. 30 He covered the floor of the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
31 He made doors for the entrance to the inner room out of olive wood. The doorposts had five sides. 32 The two doors were ⌞made out of⌟ olive wood. He carved angels, palm trees, and flowers into them and covered them with gold. The gold was hammered onto the angels and the palm trees.
33 In the same way he made square doorposts out of olive wood for the temple’s entrance. 34 He made two doors from cypress. Each of the doors had two folding panels. 35 On them he carved angels, palm trees, and flowers. He evenly covered them with gold.
36 He built the inner courtyard with three courses of finished stones and a course of finished cedar beams.
37 In the month of Ziv of the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid. 38 In the month of Bul (the eighth month) of the eleventh year ⌞of his reign⌟, the temple was finished according to all its plans and specifications. He spent seven years building it.

Solomon Builds the Temple
6 (A)In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, (B)he began to build the house of the Lord. 2 (C)The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits[a] long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. 3 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. 4 And (D)he made for the house windows with recessed frames.[b] 5 (E)He also built a structure[c] against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and (F)the inner sanctuary. And he made (G)side chambers all around. 6 The lowest story[d] was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad. For around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
7 When the house was built, (H)it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 The entrance for the lowest[e] story was on the south side of the house, and one went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third. 9 (I)So he built the house and finished it, and he made the ceiling of the house of beams and planks of cedar. 10 He built the structure against the whole house, five cubits high, and it was joined to the house with timbers of cedar.
11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, 12 “Concerning this house that you are building, (J)if you will walk in my statutes and obey my rules and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, (K)which I spoke to David your father. 13 And (L)I will dwell among the children of Israel (M)and will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 (N)So Solomon built the house and finished it. 15 He lined the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar. From the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood, (O)and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress. 16 (P)He built twenty cubits of the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, as (Q)the Most Holy Place. 17 The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long. 18 The cedar within the house was carved in the form of (R)gourds and open flowers. All was cedar; no stone was seen. 19 The inner sanctuary he prepared in the innermost part of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 20 The inner sanctuary[f] was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid[g] an altar of cedar. 21 And Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold. 22 And he overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. (S)Also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
23 (T)In the inner sanctuary (U)he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high. 24 Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the length of the other wing of the cherub; it was ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. 25 The other cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same measure and the same form. 26 The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub. 27 He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. (V)And the wings of the cherubim were spread out so that a wing of one touched the one wall, and a wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; their other wings touched each other in the middle of the house. 28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Around all the walls of the house he carved engraved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms. 30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold in the inner and outer rooms.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood; the lintel and the doorposts were five-sided.[h] 32 He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
33 So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olivewood, in the form of a square, 34 and two doors of cypress wood. (W)The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. 35 On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the carved work. 36 (X)He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and one course of cedar beams.
37 (Y)In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid, in the month of Ziv. 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it.

6 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.
2 And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Zif:
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

Salomón edifica el templo
(2 Cr. 3.1-14)
6 En el año cuatrocientos ochenta después que los hijos de Israel salieron de Egipto, el cuarto año del principio del reino de Salomón sobre Israel, en el mes de Zif, que es el mes segundo, comenzó él a edificar la casa de Jehová. 2 La casa que el rey Salomón edificó a Jehová tenía sesenta codos de largo y veinte de ancho, y treinta codos de alto. 3 Y el pórtico delante del templo de la casa tenía veinte codos de largo a lo ancho de la casa, y el ancho delante de la casa era de diez codos. 4 E hizo a la casa ventanas anchas por dentro y estrechas por fuera. 5 Edificó también junto al muro de la casa aposentos alrededor, contra las paredes de la casa alrededor del templo y del lugar santísimo; e hizo cámaras laterales alrededor. 6 El aposento de abajo era de cinco codos de ancho, el de en medio de seis codos de ancho, y el tercero de siete codos de ancho; porque por fuera había hecho disminuciones a la casa alrededor, para no empotrar las vigas en las paredes de la casa.
7 Y cuando se edificó la casa, la fabricaron de piedras que traían ya acabadas, de tal manera que cuando la edificaban, ni martillos ni hachas se oyeron en la casa, ni ningún otro instrumento de hierro.
8 La puerta del aposento de en medio estaba al lado derecho de la casa; y se subía por una escalera de caracol al de en medio, y del aposento de en medio al tercero. 9 Labró, pues, la casa, y la terminó; y la cubrió con artesonados de cedro. 10 Edificó asimismo el aposento alrededor de toda la casa, de altura de cinco codos, el cual se apoyaba en la casa con maderas de cedro.
11 Y vino palabra de Jehová a Salomón, diciendo: 12 Con relación a esta casa que tú edificas, si anduvieres en mis estatutos e hicieres mis decretos, y guardares todos mis mandamientos andando en ellos, yo cumpliré contigo mi palabra que hablé a David tu padre; 13 y habitaré en ella en medio de los hijos de Israel, y no dejaré a mi pueblo Israel.
14 Así, pues, Salomón labró la casa y la terminó. 15 Y cubrió las paredes de la casa con tablas de cedro, revistiéndola de madera por dentro, desde el suelo de la casa hasta las vigas de la techumbre; cubrió también el pavimento con madera de ciprés. 16 Asimismo hizo al final de la casa un edificio de veinte codos, de tablas de cedro desde el suelo hasta lo más alto; así hizo en la casa un aposento que es el lugar santísimo.(A) 17 La casa, esto es, el templo de adelante, tenía cuarenta codos. 18 Y la casa estaba cubierta de cedro por dentro, y tenía entalladuras de calabazas silvestres y de botones de flores. Todo era cedro; ninguna piedra se veía. 19 Y adornó el lugar santísimo por dentro en medio de la casa, para poner allí el arca del pacto de Jehová. 20 El lugar santísimo estaba en la parte de adentro, el cual tenía veinte codos de largo, veinte de ancho, y veinte de altura; y lo cubrió de oro purísimo; asimismo cubrió de oro el altar de cedro. 21 De manera que Salomón cubrió de oro puro la casa por dentro, y cerró la entrada del santuario con cadenas de oro, y lo cubrió de oro. 22 Cubrió, pues, de oro toda la casa de arriba abajo, y asimismo cubrió de oro todo el altar que estaba frente al lugar santísimo.(B)
23 Hizo también en el lugar santísimo dos querubines(C) de madera de olivo, cada uno de diez codos de altura. 24 Una ala del querubín tenía cinco codos, y la otra ala del querubín otros cinco codos; así que había diez codos desde la punta de una ala hasta la punta de la otra. 25 Asimismo el otro querubín tenía diez codos; porque ambos querubines eran de un mismo tamaño y de una misma hechura. 26 La altura del uno era de diez codos, y asimismo la del otro. 27 Puso estos querubines dentro de la casa en el lugar santísimo, los cuales extendían sus alas, de modo que el ala de uno tocaba una pared, y el ala del otro tocaba la otra pared, y las otras dos alas se tocaban la una a la otra en medio de la casa. 28 Y cubrió de oro los querubines.
29 Y esculpió todas las paredes de la casa alrededor de diversas figuras, de querubines, de palmeras y de botones de flores, por dentro y por fuera. 30 Y cubrió de oro el piso de la casa, por dentro y por fuera.
31 A la entrada del santuario hizo puertas de madera de olivo; y el umbral y los postes eran de cinco esquinas. 32 Las dos puertas eran de madera de olivo; y talló en ellas figuras de querubines, de palmeras y de botones de flores, y las cubrió de oro; cubrió también de oro los querubines y las palmeras.
33 Igualmente hizo a la puerta del templo postes cuadrados de madera de olivo. 34 Pero las dos puertas eran de madera de ciprés; y las dos hojas de una puerta giraban, y las otras dos hojas de la otra puerta también giraban. 35 Y talló en ellas querubines y palmeras y botones de flores, y las cubrió de oro ajustado a las talladuras. 36 Y edificó el atrio interior de tres hileras de piedras labradas, y de una hilera de vigas de cedro.
37 En el cuarto año, en el mes de Zif, se echaron los cimientos de la casa de Jehová. 38 Y en el undécimo año, en el mes de Bul, que es el mes octavo, fue acabada la casa con todas sus dependencias, y con todo lo necesario. La edificó, pues, en siete años.

6 В четыреста восьмидесятом году по исшествии сынов Израилевых из земли Египетской, в четвертый год царствования Соломонова над Израилем, в месяц Зиф, который есть второй месяц, начал он строить храм Господу.
2 Храм, который построил царь Соломон Господу, длиною был в шестьдесят локтей, шириною в двадцать и вышиною в тридцать локтей,
3 и притвор пред храмом в двадцать локтей длины, соответственно ширине храма, и в десять локтей ширины пред храмом.
4 И сделал он в доме окна решетчатые, глухие с откосами.
5 И сделал пристройку вокруг стен храма, вокруг храма и давира; и сделал боковые комнаты кругом.
6 Нижний [ярус] пристройки шириною был в пять локтей, средний шириною в шесть локтей, а третий шириною в семь локтей; ибо вокруг храма извне сделаны были уступы, дабы пристройка не прикасалась к стенам храма.
7 Когда строился храм, на строение употребляемы были обтесанные камни; ни молота, ни тесла, ни всякого другого железного орудия не было слышно в храме при строении его.
8 Вход в средний ярус был с правой стороны храма. По круглым лестницам всходили в средний [ярус], а от среднего в третий.
9 И построил он храм, и кончил его, и обшил храм кедровыми досками.
10 И пристроил ко всему храму боковые комнаты вышиною в пять локтей; они прикреплены были к храму посредством кедровых бревен.
11 И было слово Господа к Соломону, и сказано ему:
12 вот, ты строишь храм; если ты будешь ходить по уставам Моим, и поступать по определениям Моим и соблюдать все заповеди Мои, поступая по ним, то Я исполню на тебе слово Мое, которое Я сказал Давиду, отцу твоему,
13 и буду жить среди сынов Израилевых, и не оставлю народа Моего Израиля.
14 И построил Соломон храм и кончил его.
15 И обложил стены храма внутри кедровыми досками; от пола храма до потолка внутри обложил деревом и покрыл пол храма кипарисовыми досками.
16 И устроил в задней стороне храма, в двадцати локтях от края, стену, и обложил стены и потолок кедровыми досками, и устроил давир для Святаго-святых.
17 Сорока локтей [был] храм, то есть передняя часть храма.
18 На кедрах внутри храма были вырезаны [подобия] огурцов и распускающихся цветов; все было покрыто кедром, камня не видно было.
19 Давир же внутри храма он приготовил для того, чтобы поставить там ковчег завета Господня.
20 И давир был длиною в двадцать локтей, шириною в двадцать локтей и вышиною в двадцать локтей; он обложил его чистым золотом; обложил также и кедровый жертвенник.
21 И обложил Соломон храм внутри чистым золотом, и протянул золотые цепи пред давиром, и обложил его золотом.
22 Весь храм он обложил золотом, весь храм до конца, и весь жертвенник, который пред давиром, обложил золотом.
23 И сделал в давире двух херувимов из масличного дерева, вышиною в десять локтей.
24 Одно крыло херувима было в пять локтей и другое крыло херувима в пять локтей; десять локтей было от одного конца крыльев его до другого конца крыльев его.
25 В десять локтей [был] и другой херувим; одинаковой меры и одинакового вида [были] оба херувима.
26 Высота одного херувима [была] десять локтей, также и другого херувима.
27 И поставил он херувимов среди внутренней части храма. Крылья же херувимов были распростерты, и касалось крыло одного [одной] стены, а крыло другого херувима касалось другой стены; другие же крылья их среди храма сходились крыло с крылом.
28 И обложил он херувимов золотом.
29 И на всех стенах храма кругом сделал резные изображения херувимов и пальмовых дерев и распускающихся цветов, внутри и вне.
30 И пол в храме обложил золотом во внутренней и передней части.
31 Для входа в давир сделал двери из масличного дерева, с пятиугольными косяками.
32 На двух половинах дверей из масличного дерева он сделал резных херувимов и пальмы и распускающиеся цветы и обложил золотом; покрыл золотом и херувимов и пальмы.
33 И у входа в храм сделал косяки из масличного дерева четырехугольные,
34 и две двери из кипарисового дерева; обе половинки одной двери были подвижные, и обе половинки другой двери были подвижные.
35 И вырезал [на них] херувимов и пальмы и распускающиеся цветы и обложил золотом по резьбе.
36 И построил внутренний двор из трех рядов обтесанного камня и из ряда кедровых брусьев.
37 В четвертый год, в месяц Зиф, положил он основание храму Господа,
38 а на одиннадцатом году, в месяце Буле, --это месяц восьмой, --он окончил храм со всеми принадлежностями его и по всем предначертаниям его; строил его семь лет.
