*
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Mori '
ah ,
where the LORD had appeared to David his father ,
at the place that David had appointed ,
on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb '
usite .
*
He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign .
*
These are Solomon '
s measurements for building the house of God :
the length ,
in cubits of the old standard ,
was sixty cubits ,
and the breadth twenty cubits .
*
The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long ,
equal to the width of the house ;
and its height was a hundred and twenty cubits .
He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold .
*
The nave he lined with cypress ,
and covered it with fine gold ,
and made palms and chains on it .
*
He adorned the house with settings of precious stones .
The gold was gold of Parva '
im .
*
So he lined the house with gold--its beams ,
its thresholds ,
its walls ,
and its doors ;
and he carved cherubim on the walls .
*
And he made the most holy place ;
its length ,
corresponding to the breadth of the house ,
was twenty cubits ,
and its breadth was twenty cubits ;
he overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold .
*
The weight of the nails was one shekel to fifty shekels of gold .
And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold .
*
In the most holy place he made two cherubim of wood and overlaid them with gold .
*
The wings of the cherubim together extended twenty cubits :
one wing of the one ,
of five cubits ,
touched the wall of the house ,
and its other wing ,
of five cubits ,
touched the wing of the other cherub ;
*
and of this cherub ,
one wing ,
of five cubits ,
touched the wall of the house ,
and the other wing ,
also of five cubits ,
was joined to the wing of the first cherub .
*
The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits ;
the cherubim stood on their feet ,
facing the nave .
*
And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen ,
and worked cherubim on it .
*
In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high ,
with a capital of five cubits on the top of each .
*
He made chains like a necklace and put them on the tops of the pillars ;
and he made a hundred pomegranates ,
and put them on the chains .
*
He set up the pillars in front of the temple ,
one on the south ,
the other on the north ;
that on the south he called Jachin ,
and that on the north Bo '
az .
