1 And it cometh to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year — in the month of Zif, it [is] the second month — of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he buildeth the house for Jehovah. YLT — 1Kings 6:1
2 As to the house that king Solomon hath built for Jehovah, sixty cubits [is] its length, and twenty its breadth, and thirty cubits its height. YLT — 1Kings 6:2
3 As to the porch on the front of the temple of the house, twenty cubits [is] its length on the front of the breadth of the house; ten by the cubit [is] its breadth on the front of the house; YLT — 1Kings 6:3
4 and he maketh for the house windows of narrow lights. YLT — 1Kings 6:4
5 And he buildeth against the wall of the house a couch round about, [even] the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the oracle, and maketh sides round about. YLT — 1Kings 6:5
6 The lowest couch, five by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the middle, six by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the third, seven by the cubit [is] its breadth, for withdrawings he hath put to the house round about, without — not to lay hold on the walls of the house. YLT — 1Kings 6:6
7 And the house, in its being built, of perfect stone brought [thither] hath been built, and hammer, and the axe — any instrument of iron — was not heard in the house, in its being built. YLT — 1Kings 6:7
8 The opening of the middle side [is] at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one unto the third. YLT — 1Kings 6:8
9 And he buildeth the house, and completeth it, and covereth the house [with] beams and rows of cedars. YLT — 1Kings 6:9
10 And he buildeth the couch against all the house, five cubits [is] its height, and it taketh hold of the house by cedar-wood. YLT — 1Kings 6:10
11 And the word of Jehovah is unto Solomon, saying, YLT — 1Kings 6:11
12 ’This house that thou art building — if thou dost walk in My statutes, and My judgments dost do, yea, hast done all My commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father, YLT — 1Kings 6:12
13 and have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and do not forsake My people Israel.’ YLT — 1Kings 6:13
14 And Solomon buildeth the house and completeth it; YLT — 1Kings 6:14
15 and he buildeth the walls of the house within with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling; he hath overlaid with wood the inside, and covereth the floor of the house with ribs of fir. YLT — 1Kings 6:15
16 And he buildeth the twenty cubits on the sides of the house with ribs of cedar, from the floor unto the walls; and he buildeth for it within, for the oracle, for the holy of holies. YLT — 1Kings 6:16
17 And forty by the cubit was the house, it [is] the temple before [it]. YLT — 1Kings 6:17
18 And the cedar for the house within [is] carvings of knobs and openings of flowers; the whole [is] cedar, there is not a stone seen. YLT — 1Kings 6:18
19 And the oracle in the midst of the house within he hath prepared, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. YLT — 1Kings 6:19
20 And before the oracle [is] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits [is] its height; and he overlayeth it with gold refined, and overlayeth the altar with cedar. YLT — 1Kings 6:20
21 And Solomon overlayeth the house within with gold refined, and causeth [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlayeth it with gold. YLT — 1Kings 6:21
22 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. YLT — 1Kings 6:22
23 And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits [is] their height; YLT — 1Kings 6:23
24 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; YLT — 1Kings 6:24
25 and ten by the cubit [is] the second cherub, one measure and one form [are] to the two cherubs, YLT — 1Kings 6:25
26 the height of the one cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so [is] the second cherub; YLT — 1Kings 6:26
27 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; YLT — 1Kings 6:27
28 and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold, YLT — 1Kings 6:28
29 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. YLT — 1Kings 6:29
30 And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without; YLT — 1Kings 6:30
31 as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth. YLT — 1Kings 6:31
32 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. YLT — 1Kings 6:32
33 And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth. YLT — 1Kings 6:33
34 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. YLT — 1Kings 6:34
35 And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work. YLT — 1Kings 6:35
36 And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar. YLT — 1Kings 6:36
37 In the fourth year hath the house of Jehovah been founded, in the month Zif, YLT — 1Kings 6:37
38 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. YLT — 1Kings 6:38
