THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE OF SHELOMOH
And for thirteen years, Shelomoh builds his own house; and he finishes all his house: 2 and he builds the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high; on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars; 3 and ciels it with cedar above on the ribs - on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row: 4 with lookouts in three rows; and window against window in three steps: 5 and all the portals and posts square with the lookouts: with window against window in three steps. 6 And he works a porch of pillars, fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide: with the porch at their face; and the pillars and the thick beam at their face. 7 And he works a porch for the throne for judging - the porch of judgment; and ciels it with cedar from floor to floor. 8 And his house where he settles has another court to house the porch - of like work. And Shelomoh works a house like this porch for the daughter of Paroh he had taken. 9 All these of precious stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws inside and outside the house - even from the foundation to the support and so on the outside toward the great court. 10 And the foundation is of precious stones - even great stones - stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits: 11 and above are precious stones after the measures of hewed stones and cedars: 12 and the great court all around, three rows of hewed stones and a row of cedar beams - both for the inner court of the house of Yah Veh and for the porch of the house. 13
THE FURNISHINGS OF THE HOUSE OF SHELOMAH
And sovereign Shelomoh sends and takes Hiram from Sor 14 - a son of a woman of the rod of Naphtali, and his father a Soriy, an engraver in copper: and he is filled with wisdom and discernment and knowledge to work all works in copper: and he comes to sovereign Shelomoh and works all his work: 15 and he forms two pillars of copper one pillar, eighteen cubits high; and a thread of twelve cubits surrounds the second pillar: 16 and he works two caps of poured copper to give on the tops of the pillars: one cap, five cubits high; and the second cap, five cubits high: 17 and nets of net work and threads of chain work for the caps on the top of the pillars, seven for the one cap and seven for the second cap: 18 and he works the pillars and two rows all around the one net to cover the caps on the top with pomegranates: and thus he works the second cap: 19 and the caps on the top of the pillars, of lily work in the porch, four cubits: 20 and the caps on the two pillars also above - beside the belly beside the net: with two hundred pomegranates in rows all around on the second cap. 21 And he raises the pillars in the porch of the manse: and he raises the right pillar and calls the name, Yachin/He Established; and he raises the left pillar and calls the name, Boaz/*: 22 and on the top of the pillars, lily work: thus consummates the work of the pillars. *meaning uncertain 23 And he works a poured sea, ten cubits lip to lip all around and five cubits high: and a line of thirty cubits surround it all around: 24 and under its lip all around, knobs surround it, ten in a cubit surround the sea all around; and the knobs, in being poured, poured in two rows. 25 It stands on twelve oxen: three at the face toward the north and three at the face toward the sea and three at the face toward the south and three at the face toward the rising: and the sea is upon them above with all their backs toward the house: 26 and it is a palm span thick and the lip as the work of the lip of a cup with blossoms of lilies - containing two thousand baths. 27 And he works ten bases of copper; one base, four cubits long and four cubits wide and three cubits high: 28 and the work of the bases is thus: with borders; and borders between the ledges; 29 and on the borders between the ledges: lions, oxen and cherubim: and on the ledges, a base above: and the lions and oxen below of wreaths of festoon work: 30 and one base has four copper wheels and axles of copper; and the four supports have shoulder pieces: under the laver, shoulder pieces poured with a wreath at the side of each man: 31 and the mouth of it houses the cap and above, a cubit: and the mouth is round after the work of the base, a cubit and half a cubit: and also on the mouth of it are carvings with their borders - foursquare, not round: 32 and under the borders, four wheels; and the hands of the wheels, to the base: and one wheel, a cubit and half a cubit high: 33 and the work of the wheels as the work of a chariot wheel: their hands and their rims and their spokes and their hubs, all poured: 34 and there are four shoulder pieces to the four corners of one base: and the shoulder pieces are of the very base itself: 35 and in the top of the base all around, half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the hands and the borders of the same: 36 and on the slabs of the hands and on the borders he engraves cherubim lions and palm trees according to the nakedness of man and wreaths all around. 37 Thus he works the ten bases: all have one casting, one measure, one shape. 38 And he works ten lavers of copper: one laver contains forty baths; one laver, four cubits: and on every one of the ten bases one laver: 39 and he gives five bases on the right shoulder of the house and five on the left shoulder of the house: and he gives the sea on the right shoulder of the house eastward toward the south. 40 And Hiram works the lavers and the shovels and the sprinklers: and Hiram finishes working all the work he worked for sovereign Shelomoh for the house of Yah Veh: 41 the two pillars and the bowls of the caps on the top of the two pillars; and the two nets to cover the two bowls of the caps on top of the pillars; 42 and four hundred pomegranates for the two nets: two rows of pomegranates for one net to cover the two bowls of the caps on the face of the pillars; 43 and the ten bases and ten lavers on the bases; 44 and one sea and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 and the caldrons and the shovels and the sprinklers: and all the instruments Hiram works to sovereign Shelomoh for the house of Yah Veh, of polished copper. 46 In the environs of Yarden the sovereign poured them, in the compacted soil between Sukkoth/Brush Arbors and between Sarethan: 47 and Shelomoh set all the instruments for the mighty mighty abundance: and they probe not the weight of the copper. 48 And Shelomoh works all the instruments in the house of Yah Veh: the sacrifice altar of gold and the table of gold, whereon is the face bread, 49 and the menorahs of concentrated gold - five at the right and five at the left at the face of the pulpit, with the blossoms and the lamps and the tongs of gold; 50 and the basons and the tweezers and the sprinklers and the bowls and the trays of concentrated gold; and the hinges of gold for the doors of the inner house - the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the manse. 51 Thus they shalam all the work sovereign Shelomoh works for the house of Yah Veh. And Shelomoh brings in the holies of David his father: he gives the silver and the gold and the instruments among the treasures of the house of Yah Veh.
