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.
