Solomon & The Temple

And the whole of the house he hath overlaid with gold, till the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle hath, he hath overlaid with gold.

And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits is their height;

and five cubits is the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the ends of its wings even unto the ends of its wings;

and ten by the cubit is the second cherub, one measure and one form are to the two cherubs,

the height of the one cherub is ten by the cubit, and so is the second cherub;

and he setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings are unto the midst of the house, coming wing against wing;

and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold,

and all the walls of the house round about he hath carved with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, within and without.

And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without;

as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth.

And the two doors are of the oil-tree, and he hath carved upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees.

And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth.

And the two doors are of fir-tree, the two sides of the one door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving.

And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work.

And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.

In the fourth year hath the house of Jehovah been founded, in the month Zif,

and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul-- that is the eighth month--hath the house been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he buildeth it seven years.

And his own house hath Solomon built thirteen years, and he finisheth all his house.

And he buildeth the house of the forest of Lebanon; a hundred cubits is its length, and fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar-beams on the pillars;

and it is covered with cedar above, on the sides that are on the forty and five pillars, fifteen in the row.

And windows are in three rows, and sight is over-against sight three times.

And all the openings and the side-posts are square--windows; and sight is over-against sight three times.

And the porch of the pillars he hath made; fifty cubits its length, and thirty cubits its breadth, and the porch is before them, and pillars and a thick place are before them.

And the porch of the throne where he judgeth--the porch of judgment--he hath made, and it is covered with cedar from the floor unto the floor.

As to his house where he dwelleth, the other court is within the porch--as this work it hath been; and a house he maketh for the daughter of Pharaoh--whom Solomon hath taken--like this porch.
