CHAP. III.
The plan and ornaments of the
temple: the cherubims, the
veil, and the pillars.
1 And Solomon began to
build the house of the
Lord in Jerusalem, in mount
Moria, which had been shewed
to David his father, in the
place, which David had prepared
in the threshing-floor of
Ornan the Jebusite.
2 And he began to build in
the second month, in the
fourth year of his reign.
3 Now these are the foundations,
which Solomon laid,
to build the house of God, the
length by the first measure was
sixty cubits, the breadth twenty
cubits.
4 And the porch in the
front, which was extended in
length according to the measure
of the breadth of the
house, twenty cubits: and
the height was a hundred and
twenty cubits: and he overlaid
it within with pure gold.
5 And the greater house he
cieled with deal boards, and
-- --
overlaid them with plates of
fine gold throughout: and he
graved in them palm-trees,
and like little chains interlaced
with one another.
6 He paved also the floor
of the temple with most precious
marble, of great beauty.
7 And the gold of the
plates with which he overlaid
the house, and the beams
thereof, and the posts, and
the walls, and the doors was
of the finest: and he graved
cherubims on the walls.
8 He made also the house
of the holy of holies: the
length of it according to the
breadth of the temple, twenty
cubits, and the breadth of
it in like manner twenty cubits:
and he overlaid it with
plates of gold, amounting to
about six hundred talents.
9 He made also nails of
gold, and the weight of every
nail was fifty sicles: the
upper chambers also he overlaid
with gold.
10 He made also in the
house of the holy of holies
two cherubims of image-work:
and he overlaid them
with gold.
11 The wings of the cherubims
were extended twenty
cubits, so that one wing was
five cubits long, and reached
to the wall of the house: and
the other was also five cubits
long, and reached to the wing
of the other cherub.
12 In like manner the wing
of the other cherub, was five
cubits long, and reached to
the wall: and his other wing
was five cubits long, and touched
the wing of the other cherub.
13 So the wings of the
two cherubims were spread
forth, and were extended
twenty cubits: and they stood
upright on their feet, and
their faces were turned toward
the house without.
14 He made also a veil of
violet, purple, scarlet, and
silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 He made also before the
doors of the temple two pillars,
which were five and thirty
cubits high: and their chapiters
were five cubits.
16 He made also as it were
little chains in the oracle, and
he put them on the heads of
the pillars: and a hundred
pomegranates, which he put
between the little chains.
17 These pillars he put at
the entrance of the temple,
one on the right hand, and the
other on the left: that which
was on the right hand, he
called Jachin: and that on the
left hand, Booz.
