And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come 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, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
1Kgs.6.1
It was in midspring, during the fourth year of Solomon's reign, that he began the construction of the Temple of the LORD. This was 480 years after the people of Israel were delivered from their slavery in the land of Egypt.
1Kgs.6.2
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.
1Kgs.6.2
The Temple that King Solomon built to GOD was ninety feet long, thirty feet wide, and forty-five feet high.
1Kgs.6.2
The temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.
1Kgs.6.2
Now the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits, its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
1Kgs.6.2
The Temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
1Kgs.6.3
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.
1Kgs.6.3
There was a porch across the thirty-foot width of The Temple that extended out fifteen feet.
1Kgs.6.3
The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple.
1Kgs.6.3
The vestibule in front of the sanctuary of the house was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the width of the vestibule extended ten cubits from the front of the house.
1Kgs.6.3
The foyer at the front of the Temple was 30 feet wide, running across the entire width of the Temple. It projected outward 15 feet from the front of the Temple.
1Kgs.6.4
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
1Kgs.6.4
Within The Temple he made narrow, deep-silled windows.
1Kgs.6.4
He made narrow clerestory windows in the temple.
1Kgs.6.4
And he made for the house windows with beveled frames.
1Kgs.6.4
Solomon also made narrow, recessed windows throughout the Temple.
1Kgs.6.5
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:
1Kgs.6.5
Against the outside walls he built a supporting structure in which there were smaller rooms:
1Kgs.6.5
Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.
1Kgs.6.5
Against the wall of the temple he built chambers all around, against the walls of the temple, all around the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. Thus he made side chambers all around it.
1Kgs.6.5
A complex of rooms was built against the outer walls of the Temple, all the way around the sides and rear of the building.
1Kgs.6.6
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.
1Kgs.6.6
The lower floor was seven and a half feet wide, the middle floor nine feet, and the third floor ten and a half feet. He had projecting ledges built into the outside Temple walls to support the buttressing beams.
1Kgs.6.6
The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
1Kgs.6.6
The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not be fastened into the walls of the temple.
1Kgs.6.6
The complex was three stories high, the bottom floor being 7 1/2 feet wide, the second floor 9 feet wide, and the top floor 10 1/2 feet wide. The rooms were connected to the walls of the Temple by beams resting on ledges built out from the wall. So the beams were not inserted into the walls themselves.
1Kgs.6.7
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.
1Kgs.6.7
The stone blocks for the building of The Temple were all dressed at the quarry so that the building site itself was reverently quiet--no noise from hammers and chisels and other iron tools.
1Kgs.6.7
In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.
1Kgs.6.7
And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
1Kgs.6.7
The stones used in the construction of the Temple were prefinished at the quarry, so the entire structure was built without the sound of hammer, ax, or any other iron tool at the building site.
1Kgs.6.8
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.
1Kgs.6.8
The entrance to the ground floor was at the south end of The Temple; stairs led to the second floor and then to the third.
1Kgs.6.8
The entrance to the lowest floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third.
1Kgs.6.8
The doorway for the middle story was on the right side of the temple. They went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.
1Kgs.6.8
The entrance to the bottom floor was on the south side of the Temple. There were winding stairs going up to the second floor, and another flight of stairs between the second and third floors.

1Kgs.6.10
The supporting structure along the outside walls was attached to The Temple with cedar beams and the rooms in it were seven and a half feet tall.
1Kgs.6.10
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.
1Kgs.6.10
And he built side chambers against the entire temple, each five cubits high; they were attached to the temple with cedar beams.
1Kgs.6.10
As already stated, there was a complex of rooms on three sides of the building, attached to the Temple walls by cedar timbers. Each story of the complex was 7 1/2 feet high.
1Kgs.6.11
And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
1Kgs.6.11
The word of GOD came to Solomon saying,
1Kgs.6.11
The word of the LORD came to Solomon:
1Kgs.6.11
Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
1Kgs.6.11
Then the LORD gave this message to Solomon:
1Kgs.6.12
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:
1Kgs.6.12
"About this Temple you are building--what's important is that you live the way I've set out for you and do what I tell you, following my instructions carefully and obediently. Then I'll complete in you the promise I made to David your father.
1Kgs.6.12
"As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, carry out my regulations and keep all my commands and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise I gave to David your father.
1Kgs.6.12
"Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David.
1Kgs.6.12
"Concerning this Temple you are building, if you keep all my laws and regulations and obey all my commands, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father, David.
1Kgs.6.13
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
1Kgs.6.13
I'll personally take up my residence among the Israelites -I won't desert my people Israel."
1Kgs.6.13
And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon my people Israel."
1Kgs.6.13
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."
1Kgs.6.13
I will live among the people of Israel and never forsake my people."

1Kgs.6.14
So Solomon finished building the Temple.
1Kgs.6.15
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
1Kgs.6.15
He paneled the interior walls from floor to ceiling with cedar planks; for flooring he used cypress.
1Kgs.6.15
He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and covered the floor of the temple with planks of pine.
1Kgs.6.15
And he built the inside walls of the temple with cedar boards; from the floor of the temple to the ceiling he paneled the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the temple with planks of cypress.
1Kgs.6.15
The entire inside, from floor to ceiling, was paneled with wood. He paneled the walls and ceilings with cedar, and he used cypress for the floors.
1Kgs.6.16
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.
1Kgs.6.16
The thirty feet at the rear of The Temple he made into an Inner Sanctuary, cedar planks from floor to ceiling--the Holy of Holies.
1Kgs.6.16
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.
1Kgs.6.16
Then he built the twenty-cubit room at the rear of the temple, from floor to ceiling, with cedar boards; he built it inside as the inner sanctuary, as the Most Holy Place.
1Kgs.6.16
He partitioned off an inner sanctuary--the Most Holy Place--at the far end of the Temple. It was 30 feet deep and was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
1Kgs.6.17
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
1Kgs.6.17
The Main Sanctuary area in front was sixty feet long.
1Kgs.6.17
The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.
1Kgs.6.17
And in front of it the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
1Kgs.6.17

1Kgs.6.19
And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
1Kgs.6.19
The Inner Sanctuary within The Temple was for housing the Chest of the Covenant of God.
1Kgs.6.19
He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
1Kgs.6.19
And he prepared the inner sanctuary inside the temple, to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
1Kgs.6.19
Solomon prepared the inner sanctuary in the rear of the Temple, where the Ark of the LORD's covenant would be placed.
1Kgs.6.20
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.
1Kgs.6.20
This Inner Sanctuary was a cube, thirty feet each way, all plated with gold. The Altar of cedar was also gold-plated.
1Kgs.6.20
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.
1Kgs.6.20
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid it with pure gold, and overlaid the altar of cedar.
1Kgs.6.20
This inner sanctuary was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. Solomon overlaid its walls and ceiling with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar made of cedar.
1Kgs.6.21
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.
1Kgs.6.21
Everywhere you looked there was pure gold: gold chains strung in front of the gold-plated Inner Sanctuary
1Kgs.6.21
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.
1Kgs.6.21
So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold. He stretched gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold.
1Kgs.6.21
Then he overlaid the rest of the Temple's interior with pure gold, and he made gold chains to protect the entrance to the Most Holy Place.
1Kgs.6.22
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.
1Kgs.6.22
-gold everywhere--walls, ceiling, floor, and Altar. Dazzling!
1Kgs.6.22
So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
1Kgs.6.22
The whole temple he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the temple; also he overlaid with gold the entire altar that was by the inner sanctuary.
1Kgs.6.22
So he finished overlaying the entire Temple with gold, including the altar that belonged to the Most Holy Place.
1Kgs.6.23
And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
1Kgs.6.23
Then he made two cherubim, gigantic angel-like figures, from olivewood. Each was fifteen feet tall.
1Kgs.6.23
In the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
1Kgs.6.23
Inside the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
1Kgs.6.23
Within the inner sanctuary Solomon placed two cherubim made of olive wood, each 15 feet tall.
1Kgs.6.24
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.
1Kgs.6.24
The outstretched wings of the cherubim (they were identical in size and shape) measured another fifteen feet. He placed the two cherubim, their wings spread, in the Inner Sanctuary. The combined wingspread stretched the width of the room, the wing of one cherub touched one wall, the wing of the other the other wall, and the wings touched in the middle.
1Kgs.6.24
One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits-ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip.
1Kgs.6.24
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.
1Kgs.6.24
The wingspan of each of the cherubim was 15 feet, each wing being 7 1/2 feet long.
1Kgs.6.25
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
1Kgs.6.25
The cherubim were gold plated.
1Kgs.6.25
The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape.
1Kgs.6.25
And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape.
1Kgs.6.25
The two cherubim were identical in shape and size;
1Kgs.6.26
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
1Kgs.6.26
He then carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms on all the walls of both the Inner and the Main Sanctuary.
1Kgs.6.26
The height of each cherub was ten cubits.
1Kgs.6.26
The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.
1Kgs.6.26
each was 15 feet tall.
1Kgs.6.27
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.
1Kgs.6.27
And all the floors of both inner and outer rooms were gold plated.
1Kgs.6.27
He placed the cherubim 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.
1Kgs.6.27
Then he set the cherubim inside the inner room; and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.
1Kgs.6.27
Solomon placed them side by side in the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Their outspread wings reached from wall to wall, while their inner wings touched at the center of the room.
1Kgs.6.28
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
1Kgs.6.28
He constructed doors of olivewood for the entrance to the Inner Sanctuary; the lintel and doorposts were five-sided.
1Kgs.6.28
He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
1Kgs.6.28
Also he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
1Kgs.6.28
He overlaid the two cherubim with gold.
1Kgs.6.29
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.
1Kgs.6.29
The doors were also carved with cherubim, palm trees, and flowers, and then covered with gold leaf.
1Kgs.6.29
On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers.
1Kgs.6.29
Then he carved all the walls of the temple all around, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
1Kgs.6.29
All the walls of the inner sanctuary and the main room were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
1Kgs.6.30
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
1Kgs.6.30
Similarly, he built the entrance to the Main Sanctuary using olivewood for the doorposts but these doorposts were four-sided.
1Kgs.6.30
He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.
1Kgs.6.30
And the floor of the temple he overlaid with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
1Kgs.6.30
The floor in both rooms was overlaid with gold.
1Kgs.6.31
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.
1Kgs.6.31
The doors were of cypress, split into two panels, each panel swinging separately.
1Kgs.6.31
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood with five-sided jambs.
1Kgs.6.31
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and doorposts were one-fifth of the wall.
1Kgs.6.31
For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon made double doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.
1Kgs.6.32
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.
1Kgs.6.32
These also were carved with cherubim, palm trees, and flowers, and plated with finely hammered gold leaf.
1Kgs.6.32
And on the two olive wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with beaten gold.
1Kgs.6.32
The two doors were of olive wood; and he carved on them figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
1Kgs.6.32
These doors were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and the doors were overlaid with gold.
1Kgs.6.33
So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
1Kgs.6.33
He built the inner court with three courses of dressed stones topped with a course of planed cedar timbers.
1Kgs.6.33
In the same way he made four-sided jambs of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall.
1Kgs.6.33
So for the door of the sanctuary he also made doorposts of olive wood, one-fourth of the wall.
1Kgs.6.33
Then he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the Temple.
1Kgs.6.34
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.
1Kgs.6.34
The foundation for GOD's Temple was laid in the fourth year in the month of Ziv.
1Kgs.6.34
He also made two pine doors, each having two leaves that turned in sockets.
1Kgs.6.34
And the two doors were of cypress wood; two panels comprised one folding door, and two panels comprised the other folding door.
1Kgs.6.34
There were two folding doors of cypress wood, and each door was hinged to fold back upon itself.
1Kgs.6.35
And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
1Kgs.6.35
It was completed in the eleventh year in the month of Bul (the eighth month) down to the last detail, just as planned. It took Solomon seven years to build it. [JC]
1Kgs.6.35
He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
1Kgs.6.35
Then he carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and overlaid them with gold applied evenly on the carved work.
1Kgs.6.35
These doors were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and the doors were overlaid with gold.
1Kgs.6.36
