Seeker Overlay ON
*
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen shalowsh #
years ,
and he finished all his house .
*
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon ;
the length thereof was an hundred cubits ,
and the breadth thereof fifty cubits ,
and the height thereof thirty cubits ,
upon four rows of cedar pillars ,
with cedar beams upon the pillars .
*
And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams ,
that lay on forty #
arba #
iym #
five pillars ,
fifteen in a row .
*
And there were windows in three rows ,
and light was against light in three ranks pa #
am #.
*
And all the doors and posts were square ,
with the windows :
and light was against light in three ranks pa #
am #.
*
And he made a porch of pillars ;
the length thereof was fifty cubits ,
and the breadth thereof thirty cubits :
and the porch was before them :
and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them .
*
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge ,
even the porch of judgment :
and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other .
*
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch ,
which was of the like work ma #
aseh #.
Solomon made also an house for Pharaohs daughter ,
whom he had taken to wife ,
like unto this porch .
*
All these were of costly stones ,
according to the measures of hewed stones ,
sawed with saws ,
within and without ,
even from the foundation unto the coping ,
and so on the outside toward the great court .
*
And the foundation was of costly stones ,
even great stones ,
stones of ten cubits ,
and stones of eight cubits .
*
And above were costly stones ,
after the measures of hewed stones ,
and cedars .
*
And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones ,
and a row of cedar beams ,
both for the inner court of the house of the LORD ,
and for the porch of the house .
*
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre .
*
He was a widows #
H490son of the tribe of Naphtali ,
and his father was a man of Tyre ,
a worker in brass :
and he was filled with wisdom ,
and understanding ,
and cunning to work all works in brass .
And he came to king Solomon ,
and wrought all his work m @
la #
kah #.
*
For he cast two pillars of brass ,
of eighteen sh @
moneh #
cubits high apiece #
H259 :
and a line of twelve sh @
nayim #
cubits did compass #
either of them about .
*
And he made two chapiters of molten brass ,
to set upon the tops of the pillars :
the height of the one chapiter was five cubits ,
and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits :
*
And nets of checker work ma #
aseh #,
and wreaths of chain work ma #
aseh #,
for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars ;
seven for the one chapiter ,
and seven for the other chapiter .
*
And he made the pillars ,
and two rows round about upon the one network ,
to cover the chapiters that were upon the top ro #
sh #,
with pomegranates :
and so did he for the other chapiter .
*
And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch ,
four cubits .
*
And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above ma #
al #,
over against the belly which was by the network :
and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter .
*
And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple :
and he set up the right pillar ,
and called the name thereof Jachin :
and he set up the left pillar ,
and called the name thereof Boaz Bo #
az #.
*
And upon the top of the pillars was lily work ma #
aseh #:
so was the work of the pillars finished .
*
And he made a molten sea ,
ten cubits from the one brim to the other :
it was round all about ,
and his height was five cubits :
and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about .
*
And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it ,
ten in a cubit ,
compassing the sea round about :
the knops were cast in two rows ,
when it was cast .
*
It stood upon twelve sh @
nayim #
oxen ,
three looking toward the north ,
and three looking toward the west ,
and three looking toward the south ,
and three looking toward the east :
and the sea was set above upon them ,
and all their hinder parts were inward .
*
And it was an hand breadth thick ,
and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup ,
with flowers of lilies :
it contained two thousand baths .
*
And he made ten bases of brass ;
four cubits was the length of one base ,
and four cubits the breadth thereof ,
and three cubits the height of it .
*
And the work of the bases was on this manner :
they had borders ,
and the borders were between the ledges :
*
And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions ,
oxen ,
and cherubims :
and upon the ledges there was a base above ma #
al #:
and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work ma #
aseh #.
*
And every base had four brasen wheels ,
and plates of brass :
and the four corners thereof had undersetters :
under the laver were undersetters molten ,
at the side of every addition .
*
And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit :
but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base ,
a cubit and an half :
and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders ,
foursquare ,
not round .
*
And under the borders were four wheels ;
and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base :
and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit .
*
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel :
their axletrees ,
and their naves ,
and their felloes ,
and their spokes ,
were all molten .
*
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base :
and the undersetters were of the very base itself .
*
And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high :
and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same .
*
For on the plates of the ledges thereof ,
and on the borders thereof ,
he graved cherubims ,
lions ,
and palm trees ,
according to the proportion of every one ,
and additions round about .
*
After this manner he made the ten bases :
all of them had one casting ,
one measure ,
and one size .
*
Then made he ten lavers of brass :
one laver contained forty #
arba #
iym #
baths :
and every laver was four cubits :
and upon every one of the ten bases one laver .
*
And he put five bases on the right side of the house ,
and five on the left side of the house :
and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south .
*
And Hiram made the lavers ,
and the shovels ,
and the basons .
So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD :
*
The two pillars ,
and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars ;
and the two networks ,
to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars ;
*
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks ,
even two rows of pomegranates for one network ,
to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars ;
*
And the ten bases ,
and ten lavers on the bases ;
*
And one sea ,
and twelve sh @
nayim #
oxen under the sea ;
*
And the pots ,
and the shovels ,
and the basons :
and all these vessels ,
which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD ,
were of bright brass .
*
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them ,
in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan .
*
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed ,
because they were exceeding #
H3966many :
neither was the weight of the brass found out .
*
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD :
the altar of gold ,
and the table of gold ,
whereupon the shewbread lechem #
was ,
*
And the candlesticks of pure gold ,
five on the right side ,
and five on the left s @
mo #
wl #,
before the oracle ,
with the flowers ,
and the lamps ,
and the tongs of gold ,
*
And the bowls ,
and the snuffers ,
and the basons ,
and the spoons ,
and the censers of pure gold ;
and the hinges of gold ,
both for the doors of the inner house ,
the most holy place ,
and for the doors of the house ,
to wit ,
of the temple .
*
So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD .
And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated ;
even the silver ,
and the gold ,
and the vessels ,
did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD .
