6:1

And it came to pass in the four
<0702>

hundred
<03967> <08141>

and eightieth
<08084>

year
<08141>

after the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were come out
<03318> (8800)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of Solomon's
<08010>

reign
<04427> (8800)

over Israel
<03478>_,

in the month
<02320>

Zif
<02099>_,

which [is] the second
<08145>

month
<02320>_,

that he began to build
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{began...: Heb. built}

6:2

And the house
<01004>

which king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8804)

for the LORD
<03068>_,

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] threescore
<08346>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof twenty
<06242>

[cubits], and the height
<06967>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_.

6:3

And the porch
<0197>

before
<06440>

the temple
<01964>

of the house
<01004>_,

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the length
<0753>

thereof, according to the breadth
<07341>

of the house
<01004>_;

[and] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the breadth
<07341>

thereof before the house
<01004>_.

6:4

And for the house
<01004>

he made
<06213> (8799)

windows
<02474>

of narrow
<0331> (8801)

lights
<08261>_.

{of...: or, broad within, and narrow without: or, skewed and closed}

6:5

And against the wall
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

he built
<01129> (8799)

chambers
<03326> (8675) <03326>

round about
<05439>_,

[against] the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

round about
<05439>_,

[both] of the temple
<01964>

and of the oracle
<01687>_:

and he made
<06213> (8799)

chambers
<06763>

round about
<05439>_:

{against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall} {built chambers: Heb. built floors} {made chambers: Heb. made ribs}

6:6

The nethermost
<08481>

chamber
<03326> (8675) <03326>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_,

and the middle
<08484>

[was] six
<08337>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_,

and the third
<07992>

[was] seven
<07651>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_:

for without [in the wall] of
<02351>

the house
<01004>

he made
<05414> (8804)

narrowed rests
<04052>

round about
<05439>_,

that [the beams] should not be fastened
<0270> (8800)

in the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>_.

{narrowed...: Heb. narrowings, or, rebatements}

6:7

And the house
<01004>_,

when it was in building
<01129> (8736)_,

was built
<01129> (8738)

of stone
<068>

made ready
<08003>

before it was brought
<04551>

thither: so that there was neither hammer
<04717>

nor axe
<01631>

[nor] any tool
<03627>

of iron
<01270>

heard
<08085> (8738)

in the house
<01004>_,

while it was in building
<01129> (8736)_.

6:8

The door
<06607>

for the middle
<08484>

chamber
<06763>

[was] in the right
<03233>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_:

and they went up
<05927> (8799)

with winding stairs
<03883>

into the middle
<08484>

[chamber], and out of the middle
<08484>

into the third
<07992>_.

{side: Heb. shoulder}

6:9

So he built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

it; and covered
<05603> (8799)

the house
<01004>

with beams
<01356>

and boards
<07713>

of cedar
<0730>_.

{with...: or, the vaultbeams and the panellings with cedar}

6:10

And [then] he built
<01129> (8799)

chambers
<03326> (8675) <03326>

against all the house
<01004>_,

five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>_:

and they rested
<0270> (8799)

on the house
<01004>

[with] timber
<06086>

of cedar
<0730>_.

6:11

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

6:12

[Concerning] this house
<01004>

which thou art in building
<01129> (8802)_,

if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

and execute
<06213> (8799)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and keep
<08104> (8804)

all my commandments
<04687>

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in them; then will I perform
<06965> (8689)

my word
<01697>

with thee, which I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_:

6:13

And I will dwell
<07931> (8804)

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and will not forsake
<05800> (8799)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

6:14

So Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

it.

6:15

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

within
<01004>

with boards
<06763>

of cedar
<0730>_,

both the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>_,

and the walls
<07023>

of the cieling
<05604>_:

[and] he covered
<06823> (8765)

[them] on the inside
<01004>

with wood
<06086>_,

and covered
<06823> (8762)

the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>

with planks
<06763>

of fir
<01265>_.

{both...: or, from the floor of the house unto the walls, etc}

6:16

And he built
<01129> (8799)

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

on the sides
<03411>

of the house
<01004>_,

both
<04480>

the floor
<07172>

and the walls
<07023>

with boards
<06763>

of cedar
<0730>_:

he even built
<01129> (8799)

[them] for it within
<01004>_,

[even] for the oracle
<01687>_,

[even] for the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

[place].

6:17

And the house
<01004>_,

that [is], the temple
<01964>

before
<03942>

it, was forty
<0705>

cubits
<0520>

[long].

6:18

And the cedar
<0730>

of the house
<01004>

within
<06441>

[was] carved
<04734>

with knops
<06497>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_:

all [was] cedar
<0730>_;

there was no stone
<068>

seen
<07200> (8738)_.

{knops: or, gourds} {open: Heb. openings of}

6:19

And the oracle
<01687>

he prepared
<03559> (8689)

in
<08432>

the house
<01004>

within
<06441>_,

to set
<05414> (8800)

there the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

6:20

And the oracle
<01687>

in the forepart
<06440>

[was] twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in length
<0753>_,

and twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in breadth
<07341>_,

and twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in the height
<06967>

thereof: and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_;

and [so] covered
<06823> (8762)

the altar
<04196>

[which was of] cedar
<0730>_.

{pure: Heb. shut up}

6:21

So Solomon
<08010>

overlaid
<06823> (8762)

the house
<01004>

within
<06441>

with pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

and he made a partition
<05674> (8762)

by the chains
<07572> (8675) <07572>

of gold
<02091>

before
<06440>

the oracle
<01687>_;

and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with gold
<02091>_.

6:22

And the whole house
<01004>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_,

until he had finished
<08552> (8800)

all the house
<01004>_:

also the whole altar
<04196>

that [was] by the oracle
<01687>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_.

6:23

And within the oracle
<01687>

he made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

cherubims
<03742>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_,

[each] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>_.

{olive: or, oily: Heb. trees of oil}

6:24

And five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the one
<0259>

wing
<03671>

of the cherub
<03742>_,

and five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

the other
<08145>

wing
<03671>

of the cherub
<03742>_:

from the uttermost part
<07098>

of the one wing
<03671>

unto the uttermost part
<07098>

of the other
<03671>

[were] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_.

6:25

And the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>

[was] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_:

both
<08147>

the cherubims
<03742>

[were] of one
<0259>

measure
<04060>

and one
<0259>

size
<07095>_.

6:26

The height
<06967>

of the one
<0259>

cherub
<03742>

[was] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_,

and so [was it] of the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>_.

6:27

And he set
<05414> (8799)

the cherubims
<03742>

within
<08432>

the inner
<06442>

house
<01004>_:

and they stretched forth
<06566> (8799)

the wings
<03671>

of the cherubims
<03742>_,

so that the wing
<03671>

of the one
<0259>

touched
<05060> (8799)

the [one] wall
<07023>_,

and the wing
<03671>

of the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>

touched
<05060> (8802)

the other
<08145>

wall
<07023>_;

and their wings
<03671>

touched
<05060> (8802)

one
<03671>

another
<03671>

in the midst
<08432>

of the house
<01004>_.

{they...: or, the cherubims stretched forth their wings}

6:28

And he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

the cherubims
<03742>

with gold
<02091>_.

6:29

And he carved
<07049> (8804)

all the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

round about
<04524>

with carved
<06603>

figures
<04734>

of cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_,

within
<06441>

and without
<02435>_.

{open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers}

6:30

And the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_,

within
<06441>

and without
<02435>_.

6:31

And for the entering
<06607>

of the oracle
<01687>

he made
<06213> (8804)

doors
<01817>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_:

the lintel
<0352>

[and] side posts
<04201>

[were] a fifth part
<02549>

[of the wall]. {a fifth...: or, fivesquare}

6:32

The two
<08147>

doors
<01817>

also [were of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_;

and he carved
<07049> (8804)

upon them carvings
<04734>

of cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8765)

[them] with gold
<02091>_,

and spread
<07286> (8686)

gold
<02091>

upon the cherubims
<03742>_,

and upon the palm trees
<08561>_.

{two...: or, leaves of the doors} {open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers}

6:33

So also made
<06213> (8804)

he for the door
<06607>

of the temple
<01964>

posts
<04201>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_,

a fourth part
<07243>

[of the wall]. {a fourth...: or, foursquare}

6:34

And the two
<08147>

doors
<01817>

[were of] fir
<01265>

tree
<06086>_:

the two
<08147>

leaves
<06763>

of the one
<0259>

door
<01817>

[were] folding
<01550>_,

and the two
<08147>

leaves
<07050>

of the other
<08145>

door
<01817>

[were] folding
<01550>_.

6:35

And he carved
<07049> (8804)

[thereon] cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_:

and covered
<06823> (8765)

[them] with gold
<02091>

fitted
<03474> (8794)

upon the carved work
<02707> (8794)_.

6:36

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

with three
<07969>

rows
<02905>

of hewed stone
<01496>_,

and a row
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>_.

6:37

In the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

was the foundation
<03245> (0)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

laid
<03245> (8795)_,

in the month
<03391>

Zif
<02099>_:

6:38

And in the eleventh
<0259> <06240>

year
<08141>_,

in the month
<03391>

Bul
<0945>_,

which [is] the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

was the house
<01004>

finished
<03615> (8804)

throughout all the parts
<01697>

thereof, and according to all the fashion
<04941>

of it. So was he seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

in building
<01129> (8799)

it. {through out...: or, with all the parts thereof, and with all the ordinances thereof}
