2Chronicles:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah ,
where the LORD had appeared to his father David ,
at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign .
*
This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God :
The length was sixty cubits (
by cubits according to the former measure )
and the width twenty cubits .
*
And the vestibule that was in front of the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house ,
and the height was one hundred and twenty .
He overlaid the inside with pure gold .
*
The larger room he paneled with cypress which he overlaid with fine gold ,
and he carved palm trees and chainwork on it .
*
And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty ,
and the gold was gold from Parvaim .
*
He also overlaid the house--the beams and doorposts ,
its walls and doors--with gold ;
and he carved cherubim on the walls .
*
And he made the Most Holy Place .
Its length was according to the width of the house ,
twenty cubits ,
and its width twenty cubits .
He overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold .
*
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold ;
and he overlaid the upper area with gold .
*
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim ,
fashioned by carving ,
and overlaid them with gold .
*
The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in overall length :
one wing of the one cherub was five cubits ,
touching the wall of the room ,
and the other wing was five cubits ,
touching the wing of the other cherub ;
*
one wing of the other cherub was five cubits ,
touching the wall of the room ,
and the other wing also was five cubits ,
touching the wing of the other cherub .
*
The wings of these cherubim spanned twenty cubits overall .
They stood on their feet ,
and they faced inward .
*
And he made the veil of blue ,
purple ,
crimson ,
and fine linen ,
and wove cherubim into it .
*
Also he made in front of the temple two pillars thirty-five cubits high ,
and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits .
*
He made wreaths of chainwork ,
as in the inner sanctuary ,
and put them on top of the pillars ;
and he made one hundred pomegranates ,
and put them on the wreaths of chainwork .
*
Then he set up the pillars before the temple ,
one on the right hand and the other on the left ;
he called the name of the one on the right hand Jachin ,
and the name of the one on the left Boaz .
