THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH
And so be it, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Yisra El go from the land of Misrayim - in the fourth year of the reign of Shelomoh over Yisra El - the month Zif - the second month he begins to build the house of Yah Veh. 2 And the house sovereign Shelomoh builds for Yah Veh, sixty cubits long and twenty wide and thirty cubits high; 3 and the porch at the face of the manse of the house, twenty cubits long at the face of the width of the house, and ten cubits wide at the face of the house. 4 And for the house he works lookouts of shuttered lights: 5 and against the wall of the house he builds chambers all around against the walls of the house - all around the manse and the pulpit: and he works ribs all around: 6 the nethermost chamber, five cubits wide; and the middle, six cubits wide; and the third, seven cubits wide: and outside the house he gives ledges all around not held to the walls of the house. 7 And in building, the house is built of stone which they shalam at the quarry: so that, in building, they hear neither hammer nor axe nor instrument of iron in the house. 8 The portal for the middle rib is in the right shoulder of the house: and they ascend with spiral stairs to the middle, and from the middle to the third. 9 And he builds the house; and finishes and ciels the house with carvings and shingles of cedar: 10 and he builds chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they hold on the house with timber of cedar. 11 And the word of Yah Veh comes to Shelomoh, saying, 12 This house you build, if you walk in my statutes and work my judgments and guard all my misvoth to walk in them; then I raise with you the word I worded to David your father: 13 and I tabernacle among the sons of Yisra El, and forsake not my people Yisra El. 14 And Shelomoh builds and finishes the house: 15 and he builds the walls of the house with ribs of cedar inside - both the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling: and he overlays them on the house with timber and overlays the floor of the house with ribs of cypress: 16 and he builds twenty cubits on the flanks of the house from the floor to the walls with ribs of cedar: he even builds a house for the pulpit - for the Holy of Holies. 17 And the house - the manse at the face in front, forty cubits; 18 and the cedar inside the house are carvings with knobs and open blossoms; all cedar; no stone is seen. 19 And he prepares the pulpit midst the house inside, to give there the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh: 20 and the face of the pulpit, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high; and he overlays it with concentrated gold; and overlays the sacrifice altar with cedar. 21 And Shelomoh overlays the house inside with concentrated gold; and he makes an overpass by the chains of gold at the face of the pulpit; and he overlays it with gold: 22 and he overlays the whole house with gold until he consummates all the house: and he overlays the whole sacrifice altar by the pulpit with gold; 23 and inside the pulpit he works two cherubim of oil tree, ten cubits high: 24 and the one wing of the cherub, five cubits and the second wing of the cherub, five cubits - ten cubits from the end of the wing to the end of the wing. 25 And the second cherub, ten cubits; both cherubim of one measure and one shape: 26 the height of the one cherub, ten cubits; and thus the second cherub: 27 and he gives the cherubim inside the inner house; and they spread the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touches the one wall; and the wing of the second cherub touches the second wall; and their wings touch wing to wing midst the house: 28 and he overlays the cherubim with gold. 29 And he carves all the walls of the house all around with carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open blossoms inside and outside: 30 and he overlays the floor of the house with gold inside and outside: 31 and for the portal of the pulpit he works doors of oil tree; the pilaster and side posts, a fifth: 32 the two doors of oil tree; and on them he carves carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open blossoms; and overlays them with gold; and overlays gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees: 33 and thus for the opening of the manse he works posts of oil tree, a fourth: 34 and the two doors of cypress tree; the two ribs of the one door fold; and the two hangings of the second door fold: 35 and he carves cherubim and palm trees and open blossoms: and overlays them with gold straight on the engraved work. 36 And he builds the inner court with three rows of hewed stone and a row of cedar beams. 37 In the fourth year, in the month Zif, the house of Yah Veh is foundationed: 38 and in the eleventh year, in the month Buwl - the eighth month, the house is finished in every word and every judgment: thus is he seven years in building.
