Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Yisra'el were come out of the land of Mitzrayim, in the fourth year of Shlomo's reign over Yisra'el, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
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.
2 The house which king Shlomo built for the LORD, the length of it was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty [cubits], and the height of it thirty cubits.
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.
3 The porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length of it, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits was the breadth of it before the house.
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;
4 For the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.
4
and he maketh for the house windows of narrow lights.
5 Against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.
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.
6 The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house.
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.
7 The house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
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.
8 The door for the middle side- chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [story], and out of the middle into the third.
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.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
9
And he buildeth the house, and completeth it, and covereth the house [with] beams and rows of cedars.
10 He built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
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.
11 The word of the LORD came to Shlomo, saying,
11
And the word of Jehovah is unto Solomon, saying,
12 Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my mitzvot to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
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,
13 I will dwell among the children of Yisra'el, and will not forsake my people Yisra'el.
13
and have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and do not forsake My people Israel.'
14 So Shlomo built the house, and finished it.
14
And Solomon buildeth the house and completeth it;
15 He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.
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.
16 He built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls [of the ceiling]: he built [them] for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.
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.
17 The house, that is, the temple before [the oracle], was forty cubits [long].
17
And forty by the cubit was the house, it [is] the temple before [it].
18 There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
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.
19 He prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
19
And the oracle in the midst of the house within he hath prepared, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
20 Within the oracle was [a space of] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.
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.
21 So Shlomo overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
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.
22 The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.
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.
23 In the oracle he made two Keruvim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.
23
And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits [is] their height;
24 Five cubits was the one wing of the Keruv, and five cubits the other wing of the Keruv: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
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;
25 The other Keruv was ten cubits: both the Keruvim were of one measure and one form.
25
and ten by the cubit [is] the second cherub, one measure and one form [are] to the two cherubs,
26 The height of the one Keruv was ten cubits, and so was it of the other Keruv.
26
the height of the one cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so [is] the second cherub;
27 He set the Keruvim within the inner house; and the wings of the Keruvim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other Keruv touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
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;
28 He overlaid the Keruvim with gold.
28
and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold,
29 He carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of Keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
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.
30 The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.

31 For the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel [and] door-posts were a fifth part [of the wall].
31
as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth.
32 So [he made] two doors of olive-wood; and he carved on them carvings of Keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the Keruvim, and on the palm trees.
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.
33 So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall];
33
And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth.
34 and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
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.
