1 וַיְהִי בִשְׁמֹונִים שָׁנָה וְאַרְבַּע מֵאֹות שָׁנָה לְצֵאת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ־מִצְרַיִם בַּשָּׁנָה הָרְבִיעִית בְּחֹדֶשׁ זִו הוּא הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי לִמְלֹךְ שְׁלֹמֹה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּבֶן הַבַּיִת לַיהוָה	1 Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
2 וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה לַיהוָה שִׁשִּׁים־אַמָּה אָרְכֹּו וְעֶשְׂרִים רָחְבֹּו וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אַמָּה קֹומָתֹו	2 Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
3 וְהָאוּלָם עַל־פְּנֵי הֵיכַל הַבַּיִת עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה אָרְכֹּו עַל־פְּנֵי רֹחַב הַבָּיִת עֶשֶׂר בָּאַמָּה רָחְבֹּו עַל־פְּנֵי הַבָּיִת	3 And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
4 וַיַּעַשׂ לַבָּיִת חַלֹּונֵי שְׁקֻפִים אֲטֻמִים	4 And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 וַיִּבֶן עַל־קִיר הַבַּיִת [יָצֹועַ כ] (יָצִיעַ ק) סָבִיב אֶת־קִירֹות הַבַּיִת סָבִיב לַהֵיכָל וְלַדְּבִיר וַיַּעַשׂ צְלָעֹות סָבִיב	5 And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
6 [הַיָּצֹועַ כ] (הַיָּצִיעַ ק) הַתַּחְתֹּנָה חָמֵשׁ בָּאַמָּה רָחְבָּהּ וְהַתִּיכֹנָה שֵׁשׁ בָּאַמָּה רָחְבָּהּ וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁית שֶׁבַע בָּאַמָּה רָחְבָּהּ כִּי מִגְרָעֹות נָתַן לַבַּיִת סָבִיב חוּצָה לְבִלְתִּי אֲחֹז בְּקִירֹות־הַבָּיִת	6 The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 וְהַבַּיִת בְּהִבָּנֹתֹו אֶבֶן־שְׁלֵמָה מַסָּע נִבְנָה וּמַקָּבֹות וְהַגַּרְזֶן כָּל־כְּלִי בַרְזֶל לֹא־נִשְׁמַע בַּבַּיִת בְּהִבָּנֹתֹו	7 Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 פֶּתַח הַצֵּלָע הַתִּיכֹנָה אֶל־כֶּתֶף הַבַּיִת הַיְמָנִית וּבְלוּלִּים יַעֲלוּ עַל־הַתִּיכֹנָה וּמִן־הַתִּיכֹנָה אֶל־הַשְּׁלִשִׁים	8 The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
9 וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הַבַּיִת וַיְכַלֵּהוּ וַיִּסְפֹּן אֶת־הַבַּיִת גֵּבִים וּשְׂדֵרֹת בָּאֲרָזִים	9 And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
10 וַיִּבֶן אֶת־ [הַיָּצֹועַ כ] (הַיָּצִיעַ ק) עַל־כָּל־הַבַּיִת חָמֵשׁ אַמֹּות קֹומָתֹו וַיֶּאֱחֹז אֶת־הַבַּיִת בַּעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים׃ פ	10 And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
11 וַיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹה לֵאמֹר	11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה בֹנֶה אִם־תֵּלֵךְ בְּחֻקֹּתַי וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַי תַּעֲשֶׂה וְשָׁמַרְתָּ אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֹתַי לָלֶכֶת בָּהֶם וַהֲקִמֹתִי אֶת־דְּבָרִי אִתָּךְ אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֶל־דָּוִד אָבִיךָ	12 “Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
13 וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתֹוךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא אֶעֱזֹב אֶת־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ס	13 And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 וַיִּבֶן שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־הַבַּיִת וַיְכַלֵּהוּ	14 And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 וַיִּבֶן אֶת־קִירֹות הַבַּיִת מִבַּיְתָה בְּצַלְעֹות אֲרָזִים מִקַּרְקַע הַבַּיִת עַד־קִירֹות הַסִּפֻּן צִפָּה עֵץ מִבָּיִת וַיְצַף אֶת־קַרְקַע הַבַּיִת בְּצַלְעֹות בְּרֹושִׁים	15 And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
16 וַיִּבֶן אֶת־עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה [מִיַּרְכֹּותֵי כ] (מִיַּרְכְּתֵי ק) הַבַּיִת בְּצַלְעֹות אֲרָזִים מִן־הַקַּרְקַע עַד־הַקִּירֹות וַיִּבֶן לֹו מִבַּיִת לִדְבִיר לְקֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים	16 And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
17 וְאַרְבָּעִים בָּאַמָּה הָיָה הַבָּיִת הוּא הַהֵיכָל לִפְנָי	17 And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 וְאֶרֶז אֶל־הַבַּיִת פְּנִימָה מִקְלַעַת פְּקָעִים וּפְטוּרֵי צִצִּים הַכֹּל אֶרֶז אֵין אֶבֶן נִרְאָה	18 And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
19 וּדְבִיר בְּתֹוךְ־הַבַּיִת מִפְּנִימָה הֵכִין לְתִתֵּן שָׁם אֶת־אֲרֹון בְּרִית יְהוָה	19 Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
20 וְלִפְנֵי הַדְּבִיר עֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה אֹרֶךְ וְעֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה רֹחַב וְעֶשְׂרִים אַמָּה קֹומָתֹו וַיְצַפֵּהוּ זָהָב סָגוּר וַיְצַף מִזְבֵּחַ אָרֶז	20 And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.
21 וַיְצַף שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־הַבַּיִת מִפְּנִימָה זָהָב סָגוּר וַיְעַבֵּר [בְּרַתִּיקֹות כ] (בְּרַתּוּקֹות ק) זָהָב לִפְנֵי הַדְּבִיר וַיְצַפֵּהוּ זָהָב	21 Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 וְאֶת־כָּל־הַבַּיִת צִפָּה זָהָב עַד־תֹּם כָּל־הַבָּיִת וְכָל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲ‍שֶׁר־לַדְּבִיר צִפָּה זָהָב	22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 וַיַּעַשׂ בַּדְּבִיר שְׁנֵי כְרוּבִים עֲצֵי־שָׁמֶן עֶשֶׂר אַמֹּות קֹומָתֹו	23 And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 וְחָמֵשׁ אַמֹּות כְּנַף הַכְּרוּב הָאֶחָת וְחָמֵשׁ אַמֹּות כְּנַף הַכְּרוּב הַשֵּׁנִית עֶשֶׂר אַמֹּות מִקְצֹות כְּנָפָיו וְעַד־קְצֹות כְּנָפָיו	24 One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
25 וְעֶשֶׂר בָּאַמָּה הַכְּרוּב הַשֵּׁנִי מִדָּה אַחַת וְקֶצֶב אֶחָד לִשְׁנֵי הַכְּרֻבִים	25 Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 קֹומַת הַכְּרוּב הָאֶחָד עֶשֶׂר בָּאַמָּה וְכֵן הַכְּרוּב הַשֵּׁנִי	26 that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
27 וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־הַכְּרוּבִים בְּתֹוךְ ׀ הַבַּיִת הַפְּנִימִי וַיִּפְרְשׂוּ אֶת־כַּנְפֵי הַכְּרֻבִים וַתִּגַּע כְּנַף־הָאֶחָד בַּקִּיר וּכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הַשֵּׁנִי נֹגַעַת בַּקִּיר הַשֵּׁנִי וְכַנְפֵיהֶם אֶל־תֹּוךְ הַבַּיִת נֹגְעֹת כָּנָף אֶל־כָּנָף	27 And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
28 וַיְצַף אֶת־הַכְּרוּבִים זָהָב	28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 וְאֵת כָּל־קִירֹות הַבַּיִת מֵסַב ׀ קָלַע פִּתּוּחֵי מִקְלְעֹות כְּרוּבִים וְתִמֹרֹת וּפְטוּרֵי צִצִּים מִלִּפְנִים וְלַחִיצֹון	29 And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
30 וְאֶת־קַרְקַע הַבַּיִת צִפָּה זָהָב לִפְנִימָה וְלַחִיצֹון	30 Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 וְאֵת פֶּתַח הַדְּבִיר עָשָׂה דַּלְתֹות עֲצֵי־שָׁמֶן הָאַיִל מְזוּזֹות חֲמִשִׁית	31 And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
32 וּשְׁתֵּי דַּלְתֹות עֲצֵי־שֶׁמֶן וְקָלַע עֲלֵיהֶם מִקְלְעֹות כְּרוּבִים וְתִמֹרֹות וּפְטוּרֵי צִצִּים וְצִפָּה זָהָב וַיָּרֶד עַל־הַכְּרוּבִים וְעַל־הַתִּמֹרֹות אֶת־הַזָּהָב	32 And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
33 וְכֵן עָשָׂה לְפֶתַח הַהֵיכָל מְזוּזֹות עֲצֵי־שָׁמֶן מֵאֵת רְבִעִית	33 And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 וּשְׁתֵּי דַלְתֹות עֲצֵי בְרֹושִׁים שְׁנֵי צְלָעִים הַדֶּלֶת הָאַחַת גְּלִילִים וּשְׁנֵי קְלָעִים הַדֶּלֶת הַשֵּׁנִית גְּלִילִים	34 and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
35 וְקָלַע כְּרוּבִים וְתִמֹרֹות וּפְטֻרֵי צִצִּים וְצִפָּה זָהָב מְיֻשָּׁר עַל־הַמְּחֻקֶּה	35 And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הֶחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִית שְׁלֹשָׁה טוּרֵי גָזִית וְטוּר כְּרֻתֹת אֲרָזִים	36 And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 בַּשָּׁנָה הָרְבִיעִית יֻסַּד בֵּית יְהוָה בְּיֶרַח זִו	37 In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
38 וּבַשָּׁנָה הָאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה בְּיֶרַח בּוּל הוּא הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁמִינִי כָּלָה הַבַּיִת לְכָל־דְּבָרָיו וּלְכָל־ [מִשְׁפָּטֹו כ] (מִשְׁפָּטָיו ק) וַיִּבְנֵהוּ שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים	38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
