This was the dedication of the altar. After filling his own hands, and after the anointing, ⁸⁹ when Moses went into the tabernacle of the testimony to speak to the Lord, he heard the voice of the Lord speaking to him, from above the propitiatory, which is over the ark of the testimony, between the two cherubims, and he answered him,

² Speak to Aaron, and thou shalt say to him, When thou hast put on the side lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in a range with the front of the candlestick.

⁴ Now the workmanship of the candlestick was of solid gold; both its stem, and its lillies, were of one solid piece. He had made the candlestick according to the pattern which the Lord shewed Moses.

¹⁷ having taken down the tabernacle, to move on; carrying the tabernacle.

⁴ and thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the testimony. By these I will there make myself known to thee;

⁴ and thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the testimony. By these I will there make myself known to thee; ⁵ and it shall come to pass, that the staff of the man whom I will chuse, shall bloom: and I will remove from me this murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. ⁶ So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all the chiefs gave him, every one a staff; for every chief a staff, according to the houses of their patriarchal families, twelve staves, with Aaron's staff among theirs. ⁷ And Moses laid the staves before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. ⁸ And on the next day when Moses went in, with Aaron, into the tabernacle of the testimony, behold Aaron's staff, for the house of Levi, had bloomed, and brought forth a bud, and had shot forth blossoms, and produced almonds.

²⁴ Because I have given the Levites for their portion the tithes of the children of Israel, which they set apart for the Lord, as a dedication, therefore I have said to them, they shall have no lot of inheritance among the Israelites.

²⁶ For what mortal, who hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, can live. ²⁷ Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God may say, and thou shalt rehearse to us all that the Lord our God may speak to thee, and we will hear and do it. ²⁸ And the Lord heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me. And the Lord said to me, I have heard the sound of the words of this people, even all that they have spoken to thee. All that they have said is right. ²⁹ O that they may have their heart so disposed in them as to fear me, and to keep my commandments continually, that it may be well with them, and their children for ever. ³⁰ Go say to them, Return to your houses. ³¹ But as for thee, Stand thou here with me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the rules of rectitude, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them; and let them act accordingly in the land which I give them for a possession.

⁹ a land wherein thou shalt eat bread, without scarcity, and in which thou shalt not want any thing; a land, the stones of which are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou shalt dig brass.

¹ At that time the Lord said to me, Hew thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mount; and thou shalt make thee an ark of wood, ² and thou shalt write on these tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou didst break, and shalt put them in the ark.

² and thou shalt write on these tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou didst break, and shalt put them in the ark. ³ So when I had made an ark of incorruptible wood, and hewed two tables of stone, like the first, and had gone up the mount with the two tables in my hand;

³ So when I had made an ark of incorruptible wood, and hewed two tables of stone, like the first, and had gone up the mount with the two tables in my hand; ⁴ and he had written on these tables, according to the former writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord spoke to you at the mount, out of the midst of the fire; and the Lord had given them to me, ⁵ and I had turned, and come down from the mount, and had put these tables in the ark which I had made, and they were there as the Lord commanded me,

¹⁶ every male shall, three times in the year, appear before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord shall chuse; at the festival of unleavened bread, and at the festival of weeks, and at the festival of tabernacles. Thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty handed. ¹⁷ Every one of you shall bring according to the ability of his hand, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee.

²⁶ Take this book of the law; and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there for a witness against thee;

⁹ My heart was fixed on what were enjoined Israel. Ye among the people who offer thank offerings, Praise ye the Lord.

²⁷ For in those days the ark of the covenant of the Lord their God was there,

⁴ So the people sent to Selom, and brought thence the ark of the Lord who is enthroned on the cherubim. And both the sons of Eli, Ophni and Phineas, went with the ark.

⁶ So Abimelech the priest gave him the presence loaves, because he had no other, but only those loaves which were taken from the presence of the Lord, that fresh bread might be put in their place on the day he took them.

² And David arose, and set out on his march, he and all the people with him, and some of the chiefs of Juda, to bring up thence the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts enthroned on the cherubims, which are on it.

²⁰ The length of this compartment was twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, and the height twenty cubits, and he covered it with plated gold. When he had made the altar in front of the dabir and overlaid it with gold,

²⁰ The length of this compartment was twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, and the height twenty cubits, and he covered it with plated gold. When he had made the altar in front of the dabir and overlaid it with gold, ²¹ he covered all this compartment with gold at the complete finishing of the whole house. ²² [Omitted] ²³ And in the dabir, he made two cherubim; ten cubits the exact magnitude, ²⁴ and five cubits the wing of one cherubim, and five cubits its other wing, making ten cubits from the tip of one wing, to the tip of the other wing. ²⁵ And so in respect to the other cherubim. In measure and workmanship, they were both alike. ²⁶ The height of the one cherubim was ten cubits, and that of the other cherubim was the same. ²⁷ And both the cherubim were in the middle of the innermost house, and they spread their wings so that a wing of one cherubim touched one wall, and a wings; of the other cherubim touched the other wall, and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house. ²⁸ And he overlaid the cherubim with gold,

²⁴ Under its brim, embossments surrounded it, ten to a cubit all around. And the brim of it was like the workmanship of the brim of a cup, with lilly buds. And its thickness was a hand breadth.

⁴⁸ And Solomon the king took the utensils which he made for the house of the Lord, the golden altar, and the table of gold on which was to be laid the shew bread ⁴⁹ and the five candlesticks on the left, and five on their right in front of the dabir, which were of beaten gold, and the lamp-stands with the lamps, and the snuffers, which were also of gold, ⁵⁰ and the doors with the nails, and the cups, and the dishes, and the censers, which were of gold and embossed, and the leaves of the doors of the inner house; the holy of holies, and the doors of the temple which were overlaid with gold.

⁶ while the priests were carrying the ark into its place; into the dabir of the house; into the Holy of Holies; under the wings of the cherubim; ⁷ for the cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark, and from above covered the ark and the hallowed things thereof, and were above these hallowed things.

⁷ for the cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark, and from above covered the ark and the hallowed things thereof, and were above these hallowed things. ⁸ Now the heads of these hallowed things were seen from the Holies in front of the dabir, but were not seen from without. ⁹ There was nothing in the ark but the two tables of stone; the tables of the covenant which Moses made at Choreb; which the Lord established with the children of Israel on their coming out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁶ And king Solomon made three hundred lances of beaten gold, three hundred shekels of gold to each lance; ¹⁷ and three hundred suits of armour of beaten gold, three mnas of gold to each suit of armour. These king Solomon deposited in the house of the forest of Libanus.

¹² Then he sent for the king's son and put upon him the nezer and the testimony, and announcing him king, anointed him. Upon which they clapped with the hand, and said, Long live the king.

¹³ But there were not to be made for the house of the Lord silver doors, nails, goblets, nor any vessels of gold or silver out of the money brought into the house of the Lord;

¹⁵ said, Lord the God of Israel, who art enthroned on the cherubim, Thou alone art God in all the kingdoms of the earth. Thou hast made the heaven and the earth.

¹⁴ And the marshal took the kettles and the goblets, and the dishes and the censers, and all the utensils of brass with which the priests ministered,

³² and Banaias the Kaathite, who was of their brethren, was over the shew bread, to set it in order every sabbath;

¹⁵ the Levites took up the ark of God, as Moses had by the word of the Lord ordered in writing, with the staves on their shoulders.

²⁹ and for the shew bread, and for the fine flour of the sacrifice and for the unleavened cakes, and for the frying pan, and the mixed sacrifice, and for all kinds of measuring,

¹¹ Then David gave his son Solomon the model of the temple, and its houses and its treasuries, and of the upper chambers and the inner depositories, and of the house for the propitiation;

¹¹ Then David gave his son Solomon the model of the temple, and its houses and its treasuries, and of the upper chambers and the inner depositories, and of the house for the propitiation; ¹² and the plan which he had in his mind of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about; those for store houses for the house of the Lord; and of the depositories for the holy things, and the lodging rooms; ¹³ and of the daily courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord; and of the depositories for the vessels used in the service of the house of the Lord; ¹⁴ and the exact weight of these vessels, whether made of gold or of silver. ¹⁵ He gave him the weight of the candle sticks and of the lamps. ¹⁶ He gave him likewise the weight of the tables for the shew bread; of every table made of gold, and likewise of those to be made of silver;

¹⁶ He gave him likewise the weight of the tables for the shew bread; of every table made of gold, and likewise of those to be made of silver; ¹⁷ and of the flesh forks and the libation cups, and of the cups of gold; the weight both of those to be made of gold and of those to be made of silver; and of the censers, of each its several weight; ¹⁸ and pointed out to him the weight of the utensils of the altar of incense, which was to be of pure gold; and the model of the chariot of the cherubims with expanded wings, which over shadow the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

¹⁸ and pointed out to him the weight of the utensils of the altar of incense, which was to be of pure gold; and the model of the chariot of the cherubims with expanded wings, which over shadow the ark of the covenant of the Lord. ¹⁹ All these David gave to Solomon in a drawing of the hand of the Lord, according to the knowledge given him of the workmanship of the model.

¹⁹ All these David gave to Solomon in a drawing of the hand of the Lord, according to the knowledge given him of the workmanship of the model.

¹ Then king David said to all the congregation, My son Solomon whom the Lord hath chosen, is young and tender, and the work is great; for it is not for man but for the Lord God. ² According to my utmost ability I have provided for the house of my God, gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, stones of Soam, and stones to be set, precious and variegated, every kind of precious stones, and Parian marble in abundance. ³ Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, the gold and silver which I kept for myself, behold this I have given for the house of my God, over and above what I provided for the house of the Holies; ⁴ three thousand talents of the gold of Souphir, and seven thousand talents of pure silver, for overlaying therewith the walls of the sanctuary, ⁵ the gold for that to be done with gold, and the silver for that to be done with silver, and for every work to be made by the hand of artists. Now let every one who is so inclined fill his hands this day for the Lord. ⁶ Thereupon the chiefs of families, and the chiefs of the sons of Israel, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the king's works and his builders, were liberally disposed, ⁷ and gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸ And they who had precious stones gave them for the treasures of the house of the Lord which were under the care of Jeiel the Gersonite. ⁹ And the people were rejoiced at this readiness, for with a per 10 feet heart they gave liberally to the Lord. And David the king was exceedingly rejoiced, ¹⁰ and blessed the Lord in the presence of the assembly, saying, Blessed art thou Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting to everlasting. ¹¹ To thee, Lord, be ascribed greatness, and power, and exultation, and victory, and majesty; for thou hast dominion over all things in heaven and on earth. At thy presence every king and nation is struck with awe. ¹² From thee come riches and glory; Thou, Lord, rulest over all. Thou art the head of all dominion, and in thy hand is majesty and power. And by thy hand, Almighty Sovereign, all things are made great and strong. ¹³ Now therefore, Lord, to thee we render thanks; and we praise thy glorious name. ¹⁴ But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be enabled to shew such liberality to thee. For all things are thine and of thine own we have given thee. ¹⁵ For we before thee are strangers and sojourners as all our fathers were. Our days on earth are like a shadow and there is no fixed abiding. ¹⁶ Lord our God, all this store which I have provided for building a house to thy holy name is from thy bounty, and belongeth all to thee. ¹⁷ As I know, O Lord, that thou triest hearts and lovest righteousness, I have with singleness of heart freely offered all these things, and have now seen with joy all thy people who are here present freely offering to thee. ¹⁸ Lord, the God of Abraham and Isaak and Israel our fathers, keep these things forever in the thoughts of the hearts of thy people and direct their hearts to thee, ¹⁹ and give to my son Solomon a good heart to execute all thy commandments, and thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and that he may finish completely the structure of thy house. ²⁰ Then David said to all the congregation, Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and with bended knees made a reverence to the Lord and to the king. ²¹ And on the morrow of the first day, when David had offered up whole burnt offerings to God, he sacrificed as thank offerings to the Lord a thousand young bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs with their libations, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. ²² And having eaten and drunk that day with gladness before the Lord, they proclaimed Solomon son of David king a second time, and anointed him to be king for the Lord, and Sadok to be priest. ²³ So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David and prospered, and all Israel obeyed him ²⁴ The chiefs, and the men in authority, and all the sons of king David his father were subject to him, ²⁵ and the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as no king had before him. ²⁶ When David son of Jessai had reigned over Israel forty years; ²⁷ seven years at Chebron and thirty three at Jerusalem, ²⁸ he died at a good old age, full of days, riches and glory. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead. ²⁹ Now the rest of the acts of David, the first and the last, are written among the words of Samuel the seer, and in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Gad the seer, ³⁰ touching all his reign, and his mighty power, and the times which happened to him, and to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the land.

⁴ The first measurement was in length sixty cubits, and in breadth twenty cubits, including an ailam in front of the house of the same breadth, as that of the house, twenty cubits, and the height of which was a hundred and twenty cubits. And he overlaid the house on the inside, with pure gold.

¹⁰ And in this house, namely in the Holy of Holies, he made two cherubims, a workmanship of wood, and overlaid them with gold.

⁸ And he made ten tables and set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden cups.

¹⁹ But all the utensils for the house of the Lord, namely the golden altar and the tables upon which the presence loaves were to be laid,

²¹ with the snuffers and. lamp dishes. The cups also and the censers and the fire pans were all of pure gold. ²² And with regard to the inner doors of the house into the Holy of Holies; these doors of the house of the temple he covered with gold.

⁹ Now the staves projected, and their heads were seen from the Holies towards the front of the dabir, but were not seen from without, and there they have continued to this day.

¹¹ Moreover king Solomon brought Pharao's daughter from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the city of David king of Israel; for the place to which the ark of the Lord hath come is holy.

¹⁵ And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of pure gold were on each buckler;

¹¹ They burn to the Lord, every morning and evening, the whole burnt offering with the sacrifice of compound incense. We have the presence loaves set in order on the pure table, and the golden candlestick with the lamps for light, to be lighted every evening; for we keep the watches of the Lord, the God of our fathers, though you have forsaken him.

¹⁴ Now when they were carrying out the money, which had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelkias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. ¹⁵ Whereupon Chelkias addressing Saphan the scribe said, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. Chelkias gave the book to Saphan,

⁶ And all who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with furniture and with cattle, and with presents, exclusive of free will offerings.

⁹ and this was the number of them; thirty goblets of gold, and a thousand goblets of silver, vessels of an unusual form twenty nine, ¹⁰ golden cups, thirty; and silver plated cups, four hundred and ten, and other vessels, a thousand. ¹¹ All the vessels of gold and silver, all that came up with Sasabasar from the captivity from Babylon to Jerusalem, were five thousand four hundred.

⁶⁸ Now some of the chiefs of families when they came to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, offered free will offerings for the house of God, to raise it on its foundations.

⁵ after this they offered the continual burnt offerings in due course, and those for the new moons, and for all the festivals dedicated to the Lord, and for every one who offered a free will offering to the Lord.

¹⁶ procure in all the country of Babylon, with the free will offerings of the people and the priests who make free will offerings to the house of God which is at Jerusalem;

² And the people blessed all those men who were of their own accord willing to dwell in Jerusalem.

² Iron indeed is made out of the earth, and brass is hewn from a quarry like stones.

¹ In the year in which Ozias the king died I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; and the house was filled with his glory. ² And seraphs stood around him, each having six wings; and with two they covered the face, and with two they covered the feet, and two they used in flying. ³ And they cried one to another and said, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is filled with his glory." ⁴ And the lintel of the door was shaken with the sound of their cry, and the house was filled with smoke. ⁵ Whereupon I said, Ah! Woe is me! [for I was confounded] for being a man, and having unclean lips; and dwelling among a people of unclean lips, I have seen with mine eyes the king the Lord of Hosts. ⁶ Then one of the seraphs was sent to me and he had in his hand a live coal which he had taken from the altar with the tongs.

²⁰ For he hath given a law for assistance; that they may not speak like such an oracle as this, which is not worth the giving of gifts for it.

⁶ Shout for joy and be glad, inhabitants of Sion, for in the midst of it is exalted the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁶ "O Lord of Hosts the God of Israel, who art enthroned on the cherubim! Thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the World. Thou hast made the heaven and the earth.

¹¹ Then a word of the Lord came to me saying, "What dost thou see." Whereupon I said, "I see a rod of an almond tree." ¹² And the Lord said to me, Thou hast seen well: for I have watched over my words to perform them.

²⁰ Wherever the cloud was, there was the wind for their movement; the wheels moved on and were carried aloft with them. Because there was a breath of life in the wheels, when the living beings moved on, the wheels moved on:

² And he said to the man who was clothed with the long robe, Go in between the wheels which are under the cherubims and fill thy hands with coals of fire from the midst of the cherubims and scatter them over the city. So in my sight he went in.

²⁰ This was the living being which I saw under the God of Israel at the river Chobar, and I knew that it was the cherubims.

¹⁰ And I clothed thee with embroidery and shod thee with purple sandals and girded thee with a cotton zone and threw around thee a mantle of tissue.

¹⁴ From the day thou wast created thou wast with the cherub. On the holy mountain of God I placed thee, thou wast born in the midst of sparkling stones.

⁴¹ There were four on one side, and four on the other, back of this gate. Upon these they slay the burnt offerings. And over against these eight tables for the burnt offerings, ⁴² there were four tables of hewn stone for the whole burnt offerings. The breadth of these was a cubit and a half, and the length two cubits and a half, and the height one cubit. On these are to be laid the instruments with which they kill the whole burnt offerings and the sacrifices.

¹⁸ on the whole wall round about, both within and without, cherubim s and palm trees between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces, ¹⁹ a face of a man towards the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion towards the palm tree on the other side. The house was sculptured all around.

¹¹ and let them receive their punishment for all that they have done. Delineate the house and its outlets and its whole figure and make known to them the ordinances thereof and all the rites thereof. And that they may keep my rules of rectitude and all my ordinances and practice them, ¹² thou shalt sketch out in their sight the draft of this house on the top of this mountain, all the boundaries of it round about being Holy of Holies.

¹⁰ Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Sion! for lo! I am coming; and I will dwell amidst thee, saith the Lord;

⁵ Remember therefore from what thou hast fallen, and reform, and do thy first works; else I will come to thee quickly, and remove thy candlestick out of its place, unless thou reform.
