Salomão edifica o templo
(2 Cr 3.1-4)
6 Foi na primavera do quarto ano do reinado de Salomão que ele começou a construção do templo; 480 anos depois do povo de Israel ter deixado a escravidão do Egito.
2 O templo, que o rei Salomão construiu para o Senhor, tinha 30 metros de comprimento, 10 metros de largura e 15 metros de altura. 3 A fachada principal tinha um pórtico com 10 metros de largura e 5 metros de fundo. 4 Tinha janelas com grades.
5 Fez também edificar compartimentos em todo o comprimento de ambos os lados do templo, contra as paredes exteriores. 6 Estas salas tinham a altura de três andares, tendo o primeiro piso de 2,5 metros de largura, o segundo piso 3 metros e o de cima 3,5 metros. Os compartimentos estavam ligados à parede do templo por vigas presas em blocos no exterior da parede; as vigas não estavam mesmo inseridas na parede.
7 As pedras usadas na construção do templo foram assentadas sem o ruído de martelo nem de qualquer instrumento semelhante.
8 Para o andar inferior dos compartimentos laterais entrava-se pelo lado direito do templo e havia umas escadas em caracol até ao segundo andar; um outro lanço de escadas levava até ao último piso, o terceiro. 9 Acabada a edificação, Salomão mandou revesti-la completamente de cedro, incluindo as traves e os pilares. 10 Como se disse, havia de cada lado da construção, encostado às paredes laterais, um anexo ligado ao edifício por vigas de cedro. Cada andar desse anexo media 2,5 metros de altura.
11 Então o Senhor deu a Salomão a seguinte mensagem 12 respeitante ao templo que estava a construir: “Se andares de acordo com a minha palavra e seguires os meus mandamentos e instruções, farei o que disse ao teu pai David: 13 Viverei no meio do povo de Israel e nunca o desampararei.”
O interior do templo
(2 Cr 3.5-14)
14 Por fim, o templo ficou acabado. 15 Todo o seu interior foi revestido de cedro, do chão ao teto. 16 O sobrado foi feito com pranchas de cipreste. Igual revestimento recebeu a câmara interior ao fundo do templo, o lugar santíssimo, também do chão ao teto, com tábuas de cedro; estas tiveram de ser cortadas à medida do compartimento, tábuas com 10 metros. 17 Para o resto do templo empregaram-se tábuas com 20 metros. 18 Por todo o edifício, o revestimento de cedro que cobria a pedra das paredes tinha incrustados botões de flores e flores abertas.
19 O compartimento interior era onde estava a arca da aliança do Senhor. 20 Este santuário interior tinha 10 metros de comprimento, 10 metros de largura e 10 metros de altura. As paredes e o teto estavam cobertas de ouro puro. Salomão fez um altar de cedro para esta sala. 21-22 Depois mandou revestir o resto do interior do templo com ouro puro, incluindo o altar de cedro. Fez também cadeias de ouro para proteger a entrada do lugar santíssimo.
23 Para o interior deste, fez dois querubins de madeira de oliveira, cada um com 5 metros de altura. 24-28 Foram postos lado a lado, de forma a que as asas abertas, do lado exterior, tocassem as paredes laterais e as do interior se tocassem no centro da peça. Cada asa media 2,5 metros e cada querubim, com as asas abertas, atingia o dobro dessa medida. Os dois querubins tinham a mesma medida e estavam revestidos de ouro.
29 Havia figuras de querubins, palmeiras e flores abertas gravadas nas paredes do templo e do santuário interior. 30 O chão de ambos os lugares também estava revestido de ouro.
31-32 A entrada para o lugar santíssimo era uma porta com cinco lados feita de madeira de oliveira; também tinha querubins entalhados, palmeiras e flores abertas, e tudo era revestido a ouro.
33 Mandou fazer igualmente ombreiras de madeira de oliveira para a entrada do templo. 34 Colocaram-se duas portas duplas feitas de madeira de cipreste e cada porta dobrava-se sobre si mesma. 35 Estas portas também tinham os mesmos entalhes: querubins, palmeiras e flores abertas, e eram todas revestidas a ouro.
36 As paredes do átrio interior tinham três fiadas de pedras lavradas intercaladas com uma viga de cedro.
37 Os alicerces do templo foram colocados no mês de Ziv[a] do quarto ano do reinado de Salomão. 38 O edifício ficou inteiramente pronto, com todos os seus acabamentos, no mês de Bul[b] do décimo primeiro ano do seu reinado. Levou 7 anos a ser construído.

Solomon Builds the Temple
6 So Solomon began to build the Temple. This was 480 years after the people of Israel had left Egypt. (This was the fourth year of King Solomon’s rule over Israel.) It was the second month, the month of Ziv.
2 The Temple was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide. It was 45 feet high. 3 The porch in front of the main room of the Temple was 15 feet deep and 30 feet wide. The room ran along the front of the Temple itself. Its width was equal to the width of the Temple. 4 There were narrow windows in the Temple. These windows were narrow on the outside and larger on the inside. 5 Then Solomon built some side rooms against the walls of the main room of the Temple. These rooms were built on top of each other. 6 The rooms on the bottom floor were 7½ feet wide. The rooms on the middle floor were 9 feet wide. The rooms above that were 10½ feet wide. The Temple wall which made the side of each room was thinner than the wall in the room below. The rooms were pushed against the wall but did not have their main beams built into the wall.
7 The stones were prepared at the same place they were cut from the ground. Only these stones were used to build the Temple. So there was no noise of hammers, axes or any other iron tools at the Temple.
8 The entrance to the bottom rooms built beside the Temple was on the south side. From there, stairs went up to the second floor rooms. And from there, they went on to the third floor rooms. 9 Solomon put a roof made from beams and cedar boards on the Temple. So he finished building the Temple. 10 He also finished building the bottom floor that was beside the Temple. It was 7½ feet high. It was attached to the Temple by cedar beams.
11 The Lord spoke his word to Solomon: 12 “Obey all my laws and commands. If you do, I will do for you what I promised your father David. 13 And I will live among the children of Israel in this Temple you are building. I will never leave the people of Israel.”
14 So Solomon finished building the Temple. 15 The inside walls were covered from floor to ceiling with cedar boards. The floor was made from pine boards. 16 A room 30 feet long was built in the back part of the Temple. It was divided from the rest of the Temple by cedar boards reaching from floor to ceiling. It was called the Most Holy Place. 17 The main room, the room in front of the Most Holy Place, was 60 feet long. 18 Inside the Temple was cedar. It was carved with pictures of flowers and plants. Everything inside was covered with cedar. So a person could not see the stones of the wall.
19 He prepared the inner room at the back of the Temple to keep the Ark of the Covenant with the Lord. 20 This inner room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide and 30 feet high. Solomon covered this room with pure gold. He built an altar of cedar and covered it also. 21 He covered the inside of the Temple with pure gold. And he placed gold chains across the front of the inner room. It was covered with gold. 22 So all the inside of the Temple was covered with gold. Also the altar in the Most Holy Place was covered with gold.
23 Solomon made two creatures with wings from olive wood. Each creature was 15 feet tall. They were put in the Most Holy Place. 24 Each creature had two wings. Each wing was 7½ feet long. So it was 15 feet from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing. 25 The creatures were the same size and shape. 26 And each was 15 feet tall. 27 These creatures were put beside each other in the Most Holy Place. Their wings were spread out. So one creature’s wing touched one wall. The other creature’s wing touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 The two creatures were covered with gold.
29 All the walls around the Temple were carved. They were carved with pictures of creatures with wings, palm trees and flowers. This was true for both the main room and the inner room. 30 The floors of both rooms were covered with gold.
31 Doors made from olive wood were put at the entrance to the Most Holy Place. The doors were made to fit into an area with five sides. 32 Creatures with wings, palm trees and flowers were carved on the two olive wood doors. Then the doors were covered with gold. And the creatures and the palm trees were covered with gold. 33 At the entrance to the main room there was a door frame. It was square and was made of olive wood. 34 Two doors were made from pine. Each door had two parts so that the doors folded. 35 The doors were covered with pictures of creatures with wings, palm trees and flowers. And all of the carvings were covered with gold. The gold was smoothed over the carvings.
36 The inner courtyard was built and enclosed with walls. The walls were made of three rows of cut stones and one row of cedar boards.
37 Work began on the Temple in Ziv, the second month. This was during the fourth year Solomon ruled over Israel. 38 The Temple was finished during the eleventh year Solomon ruled. It was finished in the eighth month, the month of Bul. It was finished exactly as it was planned. Solomon had worked seven years to build the Temple.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)
6 In the four hundred and eightieth[a] year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month,(B) he began to build the temple of the Lord.(C)
2 The temple(D) that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.[b] 3 The portico(E) at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits,[c] and projected ten cubits[d] from the front of the temple. 4 He made narrow windows(F) high up in the temple walls. 5 Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.(G) 6 The lowest floor was five cubits[e] wide, the middle floor six cubits[f] and the third floor seven.[g] He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
7 In building the temple, only blocks dressed(H) at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool(I) was heard at the temple site while it was being built.
8 The entrance to the lowest[h] floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third. 9 So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar(J) planks. 10 And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar.
11 The word of the Lord came(K) to Solomon: 12 “As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands(L) and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise(M) I gave to David your father. 13 And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon(N) my people Israel.”
14 So Solomon(O) built the temple and completed(P) it. 15 He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling,(Q) and covered the floor of the temple with planks of juniper.(R) 16 He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.(S) 17 The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits[i] long. 18 The inside of the temple was cedar,(T) carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen.
19 He prepared the inner sanctuary(U) within the temple to set the ark of the covenant(V) of the Lord there. 20 The inner sanctuary(W) was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.(X) 21 Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold. 22 So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
23 For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim(Y) out of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip. 25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape. 26 The height of each cherub was ten cubits. 27 He placed the cherubim(Z) inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 On the walls(AA) all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim,(AB) palm trees and open flowers. 30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary. 32 And on the two olive-wood doors(AC) he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold. 33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall. 34 He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
36 And he built the inner courtyard(AD) of three courses(AE) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.
37 The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. 38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details(AF) according to its specifications.(AG) He had spent seven years building it.
