Beginning the Temple Construction

1

And in the foure hundreth and foure score yeere (after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt) and in the fourth yere of the reigne of Salomon ouer Israel, in the moneth Zif, (which is the second moneth) he built the house of the Lord.

2

And the house which King Salomon built for the Lord, was three score cubites long, and twentie broade, and thirtie cubites hie.

3

And the porch before the Temple of the house was twentie cubites long according to the breadth of the house, and ten cubites broade before the house.

4

And in the house he made windowes, broad without, and narrowe within.

5

And by the wall of the house hee made galleries round about, euen by the walles of the house round about the Temple and the oracle, and made chambers round about.

6

The nethermost gallerie was fiue cubites broade, and the middlemost sixe cubites broade, and the third seuen cubites broade: for he made restes round about without the house, that the beames should not be fastened in the walles of the house.

7

And when the house was built, it was built of stone perfite, before it was brought, so that there was neither hammer, nor axe, nor any toole of yron heard in the house, while it was in building.

8

The doore of the middle chamber was in the right side of the house, and men went vp with winding stayres into the middlemost, and out of the middlemost into the third.

9

So he built the house and finished it, and sieled the house being vawted with sieling of cedar trees.

10

And he built the galleries vpon al the wall of the house of fiue cubites height, and they were ioyned to the house with beames of cedar.
