6:1 And it came to pass in the four 702 hundred 3967 8141 and eightieth 8084 year 8141 after the children 1121 of Israel 3478 were come out 3318 8800 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, in the fourth 7243 year 8141 of Solomon's 8010 reign 4427 8800 over Israel 3478, in the month 2320 Zif 2099, which [is] the second 8145 month 2320, that he began to build 1129 8799 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.(began…: Heb. built)

6:2 And the house 1004 which king 4428 Solomon 8010 built 1129 8804 for the LORD 3068, the length 753 thereof [was] threescore 8346 cubits 520, and the breadth 7341 thereof twenty 6242 [cubits], and the height 6967 thereof thirty 7970 cubits 520.

6:3 And the porch 197 before 6440 the temple 1964 of the house 1004, twenty 6242 cubits 520 [was] the length 753 thereof, according to the breadth 7341 of the house 1004; [and] ten 6235 cubits 520 [was] the breadth 7341 thereof before the house 1004.

6:4 And for the house 1004 he made 6213 8799 windows 2474 of narrow 331 8801 lights 8261.(of…: or, broad within, and narrow without: or, skewed and closed)

6:5 And against the wall 7023 of the house 1004 he built 1129 8799 chambers 3326 8675 3326 round about 5439, [against] the walls 7023 of the house 1004 round about 5439, [both] of the temple 1964 and of the oracle 1687: and he made 6213 8799 chambers 6763 round about 5439:(against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall)(built chambers: Heb. built floors)(made chambers: Heb. made ribs)

6:6 The nethermost 8481 chamber 3326 8675 3326 [was] five 2568 cubits 520 broad 7341, and the middle 8484 [was] six 8337 cubits 520 broad 7341, and the third 7992 [was] seven 7651 cubits 520 broad 7341: for without [in the wall] of 2351 the house 1004 he made 5414 8804 narrowed rests 4052 round about 5439, that [the beams] should not be fastened 270 8800 in the walls 7023 of the house 1004.(narrowed…: Heb. narrowings, or, rebatements)

6:7 And the house 1004, when it was in building 1129 8736, was built 1129 8738 of stone 68 made ready 8003 before it was brought 4551 thither: so that there was neither hammer 4717 nor axe 1631 [nor] any tool 3627 of iron 1270 heard 8085 8738 in the house 1004, while it was in building 1129 8736.

6:8 The door 6607 for the middle 8484 chamber 6763 [was] in the right 3233 side 3802 of the house 1004: and they went up 5927 8799 with winding stairs 3883 into the middle 8484 [chamber], and out of the middle 8484 into the third 7992.(side: Heb. shoulder)

6:9 So he built 1129 8799 the house 1004, and finished 3615 8762 it; and covered 5603 8799 the house 1004 with beams 1356 and boards 7713 of cedar 730.(with…: or, the vaultbeams and the panellings with cedar)

6:10 And [then] he built 1129 8799 chambers 3326 8675 3326 against all the house 1004, five 2568 cubits 520 high 6967: and they rested 270 8799 on the house 1004 [with] timber 6086 of cedar 730.

6:11 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to Solomon 8010, saying 559 8800,

6:12 [Concerning] this house 1004 which thou art in building 1129 8802, if thou wilt walk 3212 8799 in my statutes 2708, and execute 6213 8799 my judgments 4941, and keep 8104 8804 all my commandments 4687 to walk 3212 8800 in them; then will I perform 6965 8689 my word 1697 with thee, which I spake 1696 8765 unto David 1732 thy father 1:

6:13 And I will dwell 7931 8804 among 8432 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and will not forsake 5800 8799 my people 5971 Israel 3478.

6:14 So Solomon 8010 built 1129 8799 the house 1004, and finished 3615 8762 it.

6:15 And he built 1129 8799 the walls 7023 of the house 1004 within 1004 with boards 6763 of cedar 730, both the floor 7172 of the house 1004, and the walls 7023 of the cieling 5604: [and] he covered 6823 8765 [them] on the inside 1004 with wood 6086, and covered 6823 8762 the floor 7172 of the house 1004 with planks 6763 of fir 1265.(both…: or, from the floor of the house unto the walls, etc)

6:16 And he built 1129 8799 twenty 6242 cubits 520 on the sides 3411 of the house 1004, both 4480 the floor 7172 and the walls 7023 with boards 6763 of cedar 730: he even built 1129 8799 [them] for it within 1004, [even] for the oracle 1687, [even] for the most 6944 holy 6944 [place].

6:17 And the house 1004, that [is], the temple 1964 before 3942 it, was forty 705 cubits 520 [long].

6:18 And the cedar 730 of the house 1004 within 6441 [was] carved 4734 with knops 6497 and open 6362 8803 flowers 6731: all [was] cedar 730; there was no stone 68 seen 7200 8738.(knops: or, gourds)(open: Heb. openings of)

6:19 And the oracle 1687 he prepared 3559 8689 in 8432 the house 1004 within 6441, to set 5414 8800 there the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068.

6:20 And the oracle 1687 in the forepart 6440 [was] twenty 6242 cubits 520 in length 753, and twenty 6242 cubits 520 in breadth 7341, and twenty 6242 cubits 520 in the height 6967 thereof: and he overlaid 6823 8762 it with pure 5462 8803 gold 2091; and [so] covered 6823 8762 the altar 4196 [which was of] cedar 730.(pure: Heb. shut up)

6:21 So Solomon 8010 overlaid 6823 8762 the house 1004 within 6441 with pure 5462 8803 gold 2091: and he made a partition 5674 8762 by the chains 7572 8675 7572 of gold 2091 before 6440 the oracle 1687; and he overlaid 6823 8762 it with gold 2091.

6:22 And the whole house 1004 he overlaid 6823 8765 with gold 2091, until he had finished 8552 8800 all the house 1004: also the whole altar 4196 that [was] by the oracle 1687 he overlaid 6823 8765 with gold 2091.

6:23 And within the oracle 1687 he made 6213 8799 two 8147 cherubims 3742 [of] olive 8081 tree 6086, [each] ten 6235 cubits 520 high 6967.(olive: or, oily: Heb. trees of oil)

6:24 And five 2568 cubits 520 [was] the one 259 wing 3671 of the cherub 3742, and five 2568 cubits 520 the other 8145 wing 3671 of the cherub 3742: from the uttermost part 7098 of the one wing 3671 unto the uttermost part 7098 of the other 3671 [were] ten 6235 cubits 520.

6:25 And the other 8145 cherub 3742 [was] ten 6235 cubits 520: both 8147 the cherubims 3742 [were] of one 259 measure 4060 and one 259 size 7095.

6:26 The height 6967 of the one 259 cherub 3742 [was] ten 6235 cubits 520, and so [was it] of the other 8145 cherub 3742.

6:27 And he set 5414 8799 the cherubims 3742 within 8432 the inner 6442 house 1004: and they stretched forth 6566 8799 the wings 3671 of the cherubims 3742, so that the wing 3671 of the one 259 touched 5060 8799 the [one] wall 7023, and the wing 3671 of the other 8145 cherub 3742 touched 5060 8802 the other 8145 wall 7023; and their wings 3671 touched 5060 8802 one 3671 another 3671 in the midst 8432 of the house 1004.(they…: or, the cherubims stretched forth their wings)

6:28 And he overlaid 6823 8762 the cherubims 3742 with gold 2091.

6:29 And he carved 7049 8804 all the walls 7023 of the house 1004 round about 4524 with carved 6603 figures 4734 of cherubims 3742 and palm trees 8561 and open 6362 8803 flowers 6731, within 6441 and without 2435.(open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers)

6:30 And the floor 7172 of the house 1004 he overlaid 6823 8765 with gold 2091, within 6441 and without 2435.

6:31 And for the entering 6607 of the oracle 1687 he made 6213 8804 doors 1817 [of] olive 8081 tree 6086: the lintel 352 [and] side posts 4201 [were] a fifth part 2549 [of the wall].(a fifth…: or, fivesquare)

6:32 The two 8147 doors 1817 also [were of] olive 8081 tree 6086; and he carved 7049 8804 upon them carvings 4734 of cherubims 3742 and palm trees 8561 and open 6362 8803 flowers 6731, and overlaid 6823 8765 [them] with gold 2091, and spread 7286 8686 gold 2091 upon the cherubims 3742, and upon the palm trees 8561.(two…: or, leaves of the doors)(open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers)

6:33 So also made 6213 8804 he for the door 6607 of the temple 1964 posts 4201 [of] olive 8081 tree 6086, a fourth part 7243 [of the wall].(a fourth…: or, foursquare)

6:34 And the two 8147 doors 1817 [were of] fir 1265 tree 6086: the two 8147 leaves 6763 of the one 259 door 1817 [were] folding 1550, and the two 8147 leaves 7050 of the other 8145 door 1817 [were] folding 1550.

6:35 And he carved 7049 8804 [thereon] cherubims 3742 and palm trees 8561 and open 6362 8803 flowers 6731: and covered 6823 8765 [them] with gold 2091 fitted 3474 8794 upon the carved work 2707 8794.

6:36 And he built 1129 8799 the inner 6442 court 2691 with three 7969 rows 2905 of hewed stone 1496, and a row 2905 of cedar 730 beams 3773.

6:37 In the fourth 7243 year 8141 was the foundation 3245 0 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 laid 3245 8795, in the month 3391 Zif 2099:

6:38 And in the eleventh 259 6240 year 8141, in the month 3391 Bul 945, which [is] the eighth 8066 month 2320, was the house 1004 finished 3615 8804 throughout all the parts 1697 thereof, and according to all the fashion 4941 of it. So was he seven 7651 years 8141 in building 1129 8799 it.(through out…: or, with all the parts thereof, and with all the ordinances thereof)
