1 וַיָּחֶל שְׁלֹמֹה לִבְנֹות אֶת־בֵּית־יְהוָה בִּירוּשָׁלִַם בְּהַר הַמֹּורִיָּה אֲשֶׁר נִרְאָה לְדָוִיד אָבִיהוּ אֲשֶׁר הֵכִין בִּמְקֹום דָּוִיד בְּגֹרֶן אָרְנָן הַיְבוּסִי1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, which had been pointed out to his father David, on the spot which David had selected, the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 וַיָּחֶל לִבְנֹות בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי בַּשֵּׁנִי בִּשְׁנַת אַרְבַּע לְמַלְכוּתֹו2 He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.
3 וְאֵלֶּה הוּסַד שְׁלֹמֹה לִבְנֹות אֶת־בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים הָאֹרֶךְ אַמֹּות בַּמִּדָּה הָרִאשֹׁונָה אַמֹּות שִׁשִּׁים וְרֹחַב אַמֹּות עֶשְׂרִים3 These were the specifications laid down by Solomon for building the house of God: the length was sixty cubits according to the old measure, and the width was twenty cubits;
4 וְהָאוּלָם אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֹרֶךְ עַל־פְּנֵי רֹחַב־הַבַּיִת אַמֹּות עֶשְׂרִים וְהַגֹּבַהּ מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים וַיְצַפֵּהוּ מִפְּנִימָה זָהָב טָהֹור4 the porch which lay before the nave along the width of the house was also twenty cubits, and it was twenty cubits high. He overlaid its interior with pure gold.
5 וְאֵת ׀ הַבַּיִת הַגָּדֹול חִפָּה עֵץ בְּרֹושִׁים וַיְחַפֵּהוּ זָהָב טֹוב וַיַּעַל עָלָיו תִּמֹרִים וְשַׁרְשְׁרֹות5 The nave he overlaid with cypress wood which he covered with fine gold, embossing on it palms and chains.
6 וַיְצַף אֶת־הַבַּיִת אֶבֶן יְקָרָה לְתִפְאָרֶת וְהַזָּהָב זְהַב פַּרְוָיִם6 He also decorated the building with precious stones.
7 וַיְחַף אֶת־הַבַּיִת הַקֹּרֹות הַסִּפִּים וְקִירֹותָיו וְדַלְתֹותָיו זָהָב וּפִתַּח כְּרוּבִים עַל־הַקִּירֹות׃ ס7 The house, its beams and thresholds, as well as its walls and its doors, he overlaid with gold, and he engraved cherubim upon the walls. (The gold was from Parvaim.)
8 וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת־בֵּית־קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים אָרְכֹּו עַל־פְּנֵי רֹחַב־הַבַּיִת אַמֹּות עֶשְׂרִים וְרָחְבֹּו אַמֹּות עֶשְׂרִים וַיְחַפֵּהוּ זָהָב טֹוב לְכִכָּרִים שֵׁשׁ מֵאֹות8 He also made the room of the holy of holies. Its length corresponded to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid it with fine gold to the amount of six hundred talents.
9 וּמִשְׁקָל לְמִסְמְרֹות לִשְׁקָלִים חֲמִשִּׁים זָהָב וְהָעֲלִיֹּות חִפָּה זָהָב9 The weight of the nails was fifty gold shekels. The upper chambers he likewise covered with gold.
10 וַיַּעַשׂ בְּבֵית־קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים כְּרוּבִים שְׁנַיִם מַעֲשֵׂה צַעֲצֻעִים וַיְצַפּוּ אֹתָם זָהָב10 For the room of the holy of holies he made two cherubim of carved workmanship, which were then overlaid with gold.
11 וְכַנְפֵי הַכְּרוּבִים אָרְכָּם אַמֹּות עֶשְׂרִים כְּנַף הָאֶחָד לְאַמֹּות חָמֵשׁ מַגַּעַת לְקִיר הַבַּיִת וְהַכָּנָף הָאַחֶרֶת אַמֹּות חָמֵשׁ מַגִּיעַ לִכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הָאַחֵר11 The wings of the cherubim spanned twenty cubits:
12 וּכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הָאֶחָד אַמֹּות חָמֵשׁ מַגִּיעַ לְקִיר הַבָּיִת וְהַכָּנָף הָאַחֶרֶת אַמֹּות חָמֵשׁ דְּבֵקָה לִכְנַף הַכְּרוּב הָאַחֵר12 one wing of each cherub, five cubits in length, extended to a wall of the building, while the other wing, also five cubits in length, touched the corresponding wing of the second cherub.
13 כַּנְפֵי הַכְּרוּבִים הָאֵלֶּה פֹּרְשִׂים אַמֹּות עֶשְׂרִים וְהֵם עֹמְדִים עַל־רַגְלֵיהֶם וּפְנֵיהֶם לַבָּיִת׃ ס13 The combined wingspread of the two cherubim was thus twenty cubits. They stood upon their own feet, facing toward the nave.
14 וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת־הַפָּרֹכֶת תְּכֵלֶת וְאַרְגָּמָן וְכַרְמִיל וּבוּץ וַיַּעַל עָלָיו כְּרוּבִים׃ ס14 He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson and fine linen, and had cherubim embroidered upon it.
15 וַיַּעַשׂ לִפְנֵי הַבַּיִת עַמּוּדִים שְׁנַיִם אַמֹּות שְׁלֹשִׁים וְחָמֵשׁ אֹרֶךְ וְהַצֶּפֶת אֲשֶׁר־עַל־רֹאשֹׁו אַמֹּות חָמֵשׁ׃ ס15 In front of the building he set two columns thirty-five cubits high; the capital topping each was of five cubits.
16 וַיַּעַשׂ שַׁרְשְׁרֹות בַּדְּבִיר וַיִּתֵּן עַל־רֹאשׁ הָעַמֻּדִים וַיַּעַשׂ רִמֹּונִים מֵאָה וַיִּתֵּן בַּשַּׁרְשְׁרֹות16 He worked out chains in the form of a collar with which he encircled the capitals of the columns, and he made a hundred pomegranates which he set on the chains.
17 וַיָּקֶם אֶת־הָעַמּוּדִים עַל־פְּנֵי הַהֵיכָל אֶחָד מִיָּמִין וְאֶחָד מֵהַשְּׂמֹאול וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם־ [הַיְמִינִי כ] (הַיְמָנִי ק) יָכִין וְשֵׁם הַשְּׂמָאלִי בֹּעַז׃ ס17 He set up the columns to correspond with the nave, one for the right side and the other for the left, and he called the one to the right Jachin and the one to the left Boaz.
