| 1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. | 1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. | 1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where Jehovah appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. | 1 And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. | 1 And Solomon beginneth to build the house of Jehovah, in Jerusalem, in the mount of Moriah, where He appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, | 2 He began to build on the second day in the second month of the fourth year of his reign. | 2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. | 2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. | 2 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. | 2 and he beginneth to build in the second day, in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. | Dimensions and Materials of the Temple |
| 3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits. | 3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. | 3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. | 3 Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits. | 3 And in these hath Solomon been instructed to build the house of God: The length in cubits by the former measure is sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. | 4 The porch which was in front of the house was as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. | 4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. | 4 And the porch that was before the house , the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold. | 4 And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. | 4 As to the porch that is on the front, the length is by the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty, and he overlayeth it within with pure gold. | 5 He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains. | 5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. | 5 And the greater house he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chains. | 5 And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another. | 5 And the large house he hath covered with fir-trees, and he doth cover it with good gold, and causeth to ascend on it palms and chains, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Further, he adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim. | 6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. | 6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. | 6 He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty. | 6 and he overlayeth the house with precious stone for beauty, and the gold is gold of Parvaim, | 7 He also overlaid the house with gold-- the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls. | 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls. | 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls. | 7 And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls. | 7 and he covereth the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and hath graved cherubs on the walls. | 8 Now he made the room of the holy of holies: its length across the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 600 talents. | 8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. | 8 And he made the most holy house: the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. | 8 He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents. | 8 And he maketh the most holy house: its length is by the front of the breadth of the house twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and he covereth it with good gold, to six hundred talents; | 9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold. | 9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. | 9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. | 9 He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold. | 9 and the weight of the nails is fifty shekels of gold, and the upper chambers he hath covered with gold. | 10 Then he made two sculptured cherubim in the room of the holy of holies and overlaid them with gold. | 10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold. | 10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold. | 10 He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold. | 10 And he maketh in the most holy house two cherubs, image work, and he overlayeth them with gold; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 The wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits; the wing of one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub. | 11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. | 11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. | 11 The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub. | 11 as to the wings of the cherubs, their length is twenty cubits, the wing of the one is five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing is five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub. | 12 The wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and its other wing of five cubits was attached to the wing of the first cherub. | 12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. | 12 And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits also , joining to the wing of the other cherub. | 12 In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub. | 12 And the wing of the other cherub is five cubits touching the wall of the house, and the other wing is five cubits, adhering to the wing of the other cherub. | 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet facing the main room. | 13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. | 13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house. | 13 So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without. | 13 The wings of these cherubs are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces are inward. | 14 He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it. | 14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon. | 14 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon. | 14 He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims. | 14 And he maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and causeth cherubs to go up on it. | 15 He also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits. | 15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. | 15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. | 15 He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits. | 15 And he maketh at the front of the house two pillars, thirty and five cubits in length, and the ornament that is on their heads five cubits. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 He made chains in the inner sanctuary and placed them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates and placed them on the chains. | 16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. | 16 And he made chains in the oracle, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. | 16 He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains. | 16 And he maketh chains in the oracle, and putteth on the heads of the pillars, and maketh a hundred pomegranates, and putteth on the chains. | 17 He erected the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left, and named the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz. | 17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. | 17 And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. | 17 These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot. | 17 And he raiseth up the pillars on the front of the temple, one on the right, and one on the left, and calleth the name of that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. |
