Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

1 And it came to pass in the year four hundred and eighty after the sons of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the beginning of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the LORD.

2 And the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

2 The temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.

3 And the porch before the temple of the house was twenty cubits long, according to the width of the house; and its width was ten cubits before the house.

3 The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple.

4 And for the house he made windows broad within and narrow without.

4 He made narrow windows high up in the temple walls.

5 And against the wall of the house, he built wings round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made chambers round about.

5 Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.

6 The lower wing was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide, for without in the wall of the house, he had made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.

6 The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.

7 And the house, when it was built, was put together of perfect stones made ready before they were brought there; so that there was no hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built.

7 In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.

8 The door for the middle wing was in the right side of the house; and they went up with winding stairs into the middle wing and out of the middle into the third.

8 The entrance to the lowest floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third.

9 So he built the house and finished it and covered the house with work of cedar placed in order.

9 So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar planks.

10 And then he built the wing against all the house, five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

10 And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar.

11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

11 The word of the LORD came to Solomon:

12 Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes and execute my rights and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will perform my word with thee, which I spoke unto David thy father;

12 “As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise I gave to David your father.

13 and I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.

13 And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon my people Israel.”

14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.

14 So Solomon built the temple and completed it.

15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling; and he covered them on the inside with wood and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.

15 He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and covered the floor of the temple with planks of juniper.

16 And he built twenty cubits on the end of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar; and he built an oracle in the house, which is the holy of holies.

16 He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.

17 The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.

18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with wild gourds and open flowers. All was cedar; no stone was seen.

18 The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen.

19 And he prepared the oracle in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19 He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.

20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold and likewise covered the altar which was of cedar.

20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.

21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and he closed the door of the oracle with chains of gold, and he overlaid it with gold.

21 Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.

22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house; also the whole altar that was in front of the oracle he overlaid with gold.

22 So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.

23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

23 For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim out of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

24 And one wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits; from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip.

25 Likewise, the other cherub was ten cubits, for both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.

25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape.

26 The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.

26 The height of each cherub was ten cubits.

27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house, and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

27 He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.

28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.

28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.

29 On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers.

30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

30 He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.

31 And at the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and side posts had five sides.

31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary.

32 The two doors were of olive wood, and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers and overlaid them with gold and covered the cherubims and the palm trees with gold.

32 And on the two olive-wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.

33 In the same manner he made posts of olive wood at the entrance of the temple with four sides.

33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall.

34 The two doors were of fir; the two sides of the one door were rounded, and the two leaves of the other door were rounded.

34 He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets.

35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.

35 He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.

36 And he built the inner court with three orders of hewed stone and an order of cedar beams.

36 And he built the inner courtyard of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.

37 In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month Zif.

37 The foundation of the temple of the LORD was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.

38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and with everything necessary. So he was seven years in building it.

38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it.
