7:1

But Solomon
<08010>

was building
<01129> (8804)

his own house
<01004>

thirteen
<07969> <06240>

years
<08141>_,

and he finished
<03615> (8762)

all his house
<01004>_.

7:2

He built
<01129> (8799)

also the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_;

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] an hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_,

upon four
<0702>

rows
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

pillars
<05982>_,

with cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>

upon the pillars
<05982>_.

7:3

And [it was] covered
<05603> (8803)

with cedar
<0730>

above
<04605>

upon the beams
<06763>_,

that [lay] on forty
<0705>

five
<02568>

pillars
<05982>_,

fifteen
<06240>

[in] a row
<02905>_.

{beams: Heb. ribs}

7:4

And [there were] windows
<08261>

[in] three
<07969>

rows
<02905>_,

and light
<04237>

[was] against light
<04237>

[in] three
<07969>

ranks
<06471>_.

{light was...: Heb. sight against sight}

7:5

And all the doors
<06607>

and posts
<04201>

[were] square
<07251> (8803)_,

with the windows
<08260>_:

and light
<04237>

[was] against
<04136>

light
<04237>

[in] three
<07969>

ranks
<06471>_.

{doors...: or, spaces and pillars were square in prospect}

7:6

And he made
<06213> (8804)

a porch
<0197>

of pillars
<05982>_;

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_:

and the porch
<0197>

[was] before
<06440>

them: and the [other] pillars
<05982>

and the thick beam
<05646>

[were] before them. {before them: or, according to them}

7:7

Then he made
<06213> (8804)

a porch
<0197>

for the throne
<03678>

where he might judge
<08199> (8799)_,

[even] the porch
<0197>

of judgment
<04941>_:

and [it was] covered
<05603> (8803)

with cedar
<0730>

from one side of the floor
<07172>

to the other
<07172>_.

{from...: Heb. from floor to floor}

7:8

And his house
<01004>

where he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

[had] another
<0312>

court
<02691>

within
<01004>

the porch
<0197>_,

[which] was of the like work
<04639>_.

Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8799)

also an house
<01004>

for Pharaoh's
<06547>

daughter
<01323>_,

whom he had taken
<03947> (8804)

[to wife], like unto this porch
<0197>_.

7:9

All these [were of] costly
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

according to the measures
<04060>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

sawed
<01641> (8775)

with saws
<04050>_,

within
<01004>

and without
<02351>_,

even from the foundation
<04527>

unto the coping
<02947>_,

and [so] on the outside
<02351>

toward the great
<01419>

court
<02691>_.

7:10

And the foundation
<03245> (8794)

[was of] costly
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

even great
<01419>

stones
<068>_,

stones
<068>

of ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_,

and stones
<068>

of eight
<08083>

cubits
<0520>_.

7:11

And above
<04605>

[were] costly
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

after the measures
<04060>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

and cedars
<0730>_.

7:12

And the great
<01419>

court
<02691>

round about
<05439>

[was] with three
<07969>

rows
<02905>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

and a row
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>_,

both for the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the porch
<0197>

of the house
<01004>_.

7:13

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

Hiram
<02438>

out of Tyre
<06865>_.

{Hiram: also called, Huram}

7:14

He [was] a widow's
<0802> <0490>

son
<01121>

of the tribe
<04294>

of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and his father
<01>

[was] a man
<0376>

of Tyre
<06876>_,

a worker
<02790> (8802)

in brass
<05178>_:

and he was filled
<04390> (8735)

with wisdom
<02451>_,

and understanding
<08394>_,

and cunning
<01847>

to work
<06213> (8800)

all works
<04399>

in brass
<05178>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and wrought
<06213> (8799)

all his work
<04399>_.

{a widow's...: Heb. the son of a widow woman}

7:15

For he cast
<06696> (8799)

two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>

of brass
<05178>_,

of eighteen
<08083> <06240>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>

apiece
<05982> <0259>_:

and a line
<02339>

of twelve
<08147> <06240>

cubits
<0520>

did compass
<05437> (0)

either
<08145>

of them about
<05437> (8799)_.

{cast: Heb. fashioned}

7:16

And he made
<06213> (8804)

two
<08147>

chapiters
<03805>

[of] molten
<03332> (8716)

brass
<05178>_,

to set
<05414> (8800)

upon the tops
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_:

the height
<06967>

of the one
<0259>

chapiter
<03805>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

of the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>_:

7:17

[And] nets
<07638>

of checker
<07639>

work
<04639>_,

and wreaths
<01434>

of chain
<08333>

work
<04639>_,

for the chapiters
<03805>

which [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_;

seven
<07651>

for the one
<0259>

chapiter
<03805>_,

and seven
<07651>

for the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:18

And he made
<06213> (8799)

the pillars
<05982>_,

and two
<08147>

rows
<02905>

round about
<05439>

upon the one
<0259>

network
<07639>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] upon the top
<07218>_,

with pomegranates
<07416>_:

and so did
<06213> (8804)

he for the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:19

And the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>

[were] of lily
<07799>

work
<04639>

in the porch
<0197>_,

four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>_.

7:20

And the chapiters
<03805>

upon the two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>

[had pomegranates] also above
<04605>_,

over against
<05980>

the belly
<0990>

which [was] by
<05676>

the network
<07639>_:

and the pomegranates
<07416>

[were] two hundred
<03967>

in rows
<02905>

round about
<05439>

upon the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:21

And he set up
<06965> (8686)

the pillars
<05982>

in the porch
<0197>

of the temple
<01964>_:

and he set up
<06965> (8686)

the right
<03233>

pillar
<05982>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Jachin
<03199>_:

and he set up
<06965> (8686)

the left
<08042>

pillar
<05982>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Boaz
<01162>_.

{Jachin: that is, He shall establish} {Boaz: that is, In it is strength}

7:22

And upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>

[was] lily
<07799>

work
<04639>_:

so was the work
<04399>

of the pillars
<05982>

finished
<08552> (8799)_.

7:23

And he made
<06213> (8799)

a molten
<03332> (8716)

sea
<03220>_,

ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

from the one brim
<08193>

to the other
<08193>_:

[it was] round
<05696>

all about
<05439>_,

and his height
<06967>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>_:

and a line
<06957> (8675) <06961>

of thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>

did compass
<05437> (8799)

it round about
<05439>_.

{from...: Heb. from his brim to his brim}

7:24

And under the brim
<08193>

of it round about
<05439>

[there were] knops
<06497>

compassing
<05437> (8802)

it, ten
<06235>

in a cubit
<0520>_,

compassing
<05362> (8688)

the sea
<03220>

round about
<05439>_:

the knops
<06497>

[were] cast
<03333>

in two
<08147>

rows
<02905>_,

when it was cast
<03332> (8803)_.

7:25

It stood
<05975> (8802)

upon twelve
<08147> <06240>

oxen
<01241>_,

three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the north
<06828>_,

and three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the west
<03220>_,

and three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the south
<05045>_,

and three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the east
<04217>_:

and the sea
<03220>

[was set] above
<04605>

upon them, and all their hinder parts
<0268>

[were] inward
<01004>_.

7:26

And it [was] an hand breadth
<02947>

thick
<05672>_,

and the brim
<08193>

thereof was wrought
<04639>

like the brim
<08193>

of a cup
<03563>_,

with flowers
<06525>

of lilies
<07799>_:

it contained
<03557> (8686)

two thousand
<0505>

baths
<01324>_.

7:27

And he made
<06213> (8799)

ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>

of brass
<05178>_;

four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the length
<0753>

of one
<0259>

base
<04350>_,

and four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>

the breadth
<07341>

thereof, and three
<07969>

cubits
<0520>

the height
<06967>

of it.

7:28

And the work
<04639>

of the bases
<04350>

[was] on this [manner]: they had borders
<04526>_,

and the borders
<04526>

[were] between the ledges
<07948>_:

7:29

And on the borders
<04526>

that [were] between the ledges
<07948>

[were] lions
<0738>_,

oxen
<01241>_,

and cherubims
<03742>_:

and upon the ledges
<07948>

[there was] a base
<03653>

above
<04605>_:

and beneath the lions
<0738>

and oxen
<01241>

[were] certain additions
<03914>

made of thin
<04174>

work
<04639>_.

7:30

And every
<0259>

base
<04350>

had four
<0702>

brasen
<05178>

wheels
<0212>_,

and plates
<05633>

of brass
<05178>_:

and the four
<0702>

corners
<06471>

thereof had undersetters
<03802>_:

under the laver
<03595>

[were] undersetters
<03802>

molten
<03332> (8803)_,

at the side
<05676>

of every
<0376>

addition
<03914>_.

7:31

And the mouth
<06310>

of it within
<01004>

the chapiter
<03805>

and above
<04605>

[was] a cubit
<0520>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

thereof [was] round
<05696>

[after] the work
<04639>

of the base
<03653>_,

a cubit
<0520>

and an half
<02677>_:

and also upon the mouth
<06310>

of it [were] gravings
<04734>

with their borders
<04526>_,

foursquare
<07251> (8794)_,

not round
<05696>_.

7:32

And under
<08478>

the borders
<04526>

[were] four
<0702>

wheels
<0212>_;

and the axletrees
<03027>

of the wheels
<0212>

[were joined] to the base
<04350>_:

and the height
<06967>

of a
<0259>

wheel
<0212>

[was] a cubit
<0520>

and half
<02677>

a cubit
<0520>_.

{joined...: Heb. in the base}

7:33

And the work
<04639>

of the wheels
<0212>

[was] like the work
<04639>

of a chariot
<04818>

wheel
<0212>_:

their axletrees
<03027>_,

and their naves
<01354>_,

and their felloes
<02839>_,

and their spokes
<02840>_,

[were] all molten
<03332> (8716)_.

7:34

And [there were] four
<0702>

undersetters
<03802>

to the four
<0702>

corners
<06438>

of one
<0259>

base
<04350>_:

[and] the undersetters
<03802>

[were] of the very base
<04350>

itself.

7:35

And in the top
<07218>

of the base
<04350>

[was there] a round
<05696>

compass
<05439>

of half
<02677>

a cubit
<0520>

high
<06967>_:

and on the top
<07218>

of the base
<04350>

the ledges
<03027>

thereof and the borders
<04526>

thereof [were] of the same.

7:36

For on the plates
<03871>

of the ledges
<03027>

thereof, and on the borders
<04526>

thereof, he graved
<06605> (8762)

cherubims
<03742>_,

lions
<0738>_,

and palm trees
<08561>_,

according to the proportion
<04626>

of every one
<0376>_,

and additions
<03914>

round about
<05439>_.

{proportion: Heb. nakedness}

7:37

After this [manner] he made
<06213> (8804)

the ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>_:

all of them had one
<0259>

casting
<04165>_,

one
<0259>

measure
<04060>_,

[and] one
<0259>

size
<07095>_.

7:38

Then made
<06213> (8799)

he ten
<06235>

lavers
<03595>

of brass
<05178>_:

one
<0259>

laver
<03595>

contained
<03557> (8686)

forty
<0705>

baths
<01324>_:

[and] every
<0259>

laver
<03595>

was four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>_:

[and] upon every one
<0259>

of the ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>

one
<0259>

laver
<03595>_.

7:39

And he put
<05414> (8799)

five
<02568>

bases
<04350>

on the right
<03225>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_,

and five
<02568>

on the left
<08040>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_:

and he set
<05414> (8804)

the sea
<03220>

on the right
<03233>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>

eastward
<06924>

over against
<04136>

the south
<05045>_.

{side: Heb. shoulder}

7:40

And Hiram
<02438>

made
<06213> (8799)

the lavers
<03595>_,

and the shovels
<03257>_,

and the basons
<04219>_.

So Hiram
<02438>

made
<03615> (8762)

an end of doing
<06213> (8800)

all the work
<04399>

that he made
<06213> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

{And Hiram: Heb. And Hirom}

7:41

The two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>_,

and the [two] bowls
<01543>

of the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] on the top
<07218>

of the two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>_;

and the two
<08147>

networks
<07639>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

the two
<08147>

bowls
<01543>

of the chapiters
<03805>

which [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_;

7:42

And four
<0702>
