II Chronicles
Chapter 3
1
Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah/God
at
Jerusalem on mount Moriah,
where
Jehovah/God appeared unto David his father,
in
the place that David had prepared
in
the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2
And he began to build
on
the second day of the second month,
in
the fourth year of his reign.
3
Now these are the things wherein Solomon
was
instructed for the building
of
the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead.
The
length by cubits after the first measure
was
threescore cubits,
and
the breadth twenty cubits.
4
And the porch that was in the front of the house,
the
length of it was according to the breadth of the house,
twenty
cubits,
and
the height was an hundred and twenty
and
he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5
And the greater house he ceiled with fir tree,
which
he overlaid with fine gold,
and
set thereon palm trees and chains.
6
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty
and
the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts,
and
the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold;
and
graved cherubim on the walls.
8
And he made the most holy house,
the
length whereof was
according
to the breadth of the house,
twenty
cubits,
and
the breadth thereof twenty cubits
and
he overlaid it with fine gold,
amounting
to six hundred talents.
9
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold.
And
he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10
And in the Most Holy House {Holy of Holies}
he
made two cherubim of image work,
and
overlaid them with gold.
11
And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long . . .
one
wing of the one cherub was five cubits,
reaching
to the wall of the house . . .
and
the other wing was likewise five cubits,
reaching
to the wing of the other cherub.
12
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits,
reaching
to the wall of the house . . .
and
the other wing was five cubits also,
joining
to the wing of the other cherub.
13
The wings of these cherubim
spread
themselves forth
twenty
cubits
and
they stood on their feet,
and
their faces were inward.
14
And he made the veil of blue,
and
purple, and crimson, and fine linen,
and
wrought cherubim thereon.
15
Also he made before the house two pillars
of
thirty and five cubits high,
and
the chapiter that was on the top of each of them
was
five cubits.
16
And he made chains, as in the oracle,
and
put them on the heads of the pillars;
and
made an hundred pomegranates,
and
put them on the chains.
17
And he reared up the pillars before the temple,
one
on the right hand, and the other on the left;
and
called the name of that on the right hand Jachin,
and
the name of that on the left Boaz.
