Solomon & The Temple

and he covereth the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and hath graved cherubs on the walls.

And he maketh the most holy house: its length is by the front of the breadth of the house twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and he covereth it with good gold, to six hundred talents;

and the weight of the nails is fifty shekels of gold, and the upper chambers he hath covered with gold.

And he maketh in the most holy house two cherubs, image work, and he overlayeth them with gold;

as to the wings of the cherubs, their length is twenty cubits, the wing of the one is five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing is five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub.

And the wing of the other cherub is five cubits touching the wall of the house, and the other wing is five cubits, adhering to the wing of the other cherub.

The wings of these cherubs are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces are inward.

And he maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and causeth cherubs to go up on it.

And he maketh at the front of the house two pillars, thirty and five cubits in length, and the ornament that is on their heads five cubits.

And he maketh chains in the oracle, and putteth on the heads of the pillars, and maketh a hundred pomegranates, and putteth on the chains.

And he raiseth up the pillars on the front of the temple, one on the right, and one on the left, and calleth the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

And he maketh an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

And he maketh the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge unto its edge, round in compass, and five by the cubit its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit doth compass it, round about.

And the likeness of oxen is under it, all round about encompassing it, ten in the cubit, compassing the sea round about; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.

It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east, and the sea is upon them above, and all their hinder parts are within.

And its thickness is a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; taking hold--baths three thousand it containeth.

And he maketh ten lavers, and putteth five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; the work of the burnt-offering they purge with them; and the sea is for priests to wash with.

And he maketh the ten candlesticks of gold, according to their ordinance, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.

And he maketh ten tables, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he maketh bowls of gold a hundred.

And he maketh the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and their doors he hath overlaid with brass.

And the sea he hath placed on the right shoulder eastward, over-against the south.

And Huram maketh the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finisheth to make the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God;

two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two bowls of the crowns that are on the heads of the pillars;

and the pomegranates four hundred to the two wreaths, two rows of pomegranates to the one wreath, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that are on the front of the pillars.

And the bases he hath made; and the lavers he hath made on the bases;
