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).

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.

Solomon Builds the Temple

3 (A)Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem (B)on Mount Moriah, where the Lord[a] had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, (C)on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign. 3 These are Solomon's (D)measurements[b] for building the house of God: (E)the length, in cubits[c] of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house,[d] and its height was 120 cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold. 5 (F)The nave he lined with cypress and covered it with fine gold (G)and made palms and chains on it. 6 He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parvaim. 7 So he lined the house with gold—its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors—(H)and he carved cherubim on the walls.

8 (I)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 600 talents[e] of fine gold. 9 The weight of gold for the nails was fifty shekels.[f] And he overlaid (J)the upper chambers with gold.

10 (K)In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of wood[g] and overlaid[h] 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[i] stood on their feet, (L)facing the nave. 14 (M)And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.

15 (N)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[j] and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 (O)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 Boaz.
