The First Book of Kings 7

7 And Solomon built his house 13 years, and he finished all of his house. 2 And he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 100 cubits was its length and 50 cubits was its width and 30 cubits was its height, upon four rows of pillars of cedar and beams of cedar upon the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar from above, upon the beams that were on 45 pillars, 15 the row. 4 And the window frames were three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers. 5 And all of the entrances and doorposts were square in frame, and window was directly opposite to window in three tiers. 6 And he made the Porch of Pillars. 50 cubits was its length and 30 cubits was its width. And a porch was on their face, and pillars and a roof were on their face. 7 And he made the Porch of the Throne where he would judge there, the Porch of Judgment. And it was covered with cedar from the floor to the floor. 8 And his house where he would dwell there, in the other courtyard from the house of the porch, was like this work. And he made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken, like this porch.

9 All of these were valuable stones, according to the measurements of hewn stone, sawn with the saw on the inside and on the outside, and from the foundation to the eaves and from outside to the great courtyard. 10 And it was founded with valuable stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11 And from above were valuable stones, according to the measurements of hewn stone, and cedar. 12 And a great courtyard was all around, three rows of hewn stone and a row of beams of cedar, and for the inner courtyard of the house of Yahweh and for the porch of the house.

13 And King Solomon sent and took Hiram from Tyre. 14 He was the son of a woman, a widow, from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a crafter of bronze. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and knowledge to do all work in bronze. And he came to King Solomon, and he did all of his work. 15 And he fashioned two bronze pillars. 18 cubits was the height of the one pillar, and a cord of 12 cubits surrounded the second pillar. 16 And he made two capitals to put on the heads of the pillars, casting of bronze. Five cubits was the height of one capital, and five cubits was the height of the second capital. 17 Networks, a work of netting, strands, a work of chains, were to the capitals that were on the head of the pillars. Seven were to one capital, and seven were to the second capital. 18 And he made pillars, and two rows all around on one network, to cover the capitals that were on the head of the pomegranates, and thus he did for the second capital. 19 And the capitals that were on the head of the pillars were the work of a lily, on the porch, four cubits. 20 And the capitals on the two pillars also from above, from near the belly that was on the other side of the network, and the pomegranates were 200, in rows all around on the second capital. 21 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin. And he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz. 22 And on the head of the pillars was the work of a lily. And the work of the pillars was finished.

23 And he made a cast sea, ten by the cubit from its lip to its lip, circular all around. And five by the cubit was its height, and a cord of 30 cubits surrounded it all around. 24 And gourds were from underneath to its lip all around, surrounding it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea all around in two rows. The gourds were cast when it was cast. 25 It was standing upon 12 cattle, three facing northward and three facing westward and three facing southward and three facing eastward, and the sea was upon them from above. And all of their hindquarters were inward. 26 And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its lip was like the work of the lip of a cup, the blossom of a lily. It contained 2,000 baths.

27 And he made ten bronze stands. Four by the cubit was the length of one stand, and four by the cubit was its width, and three by the cubit was its height. 28 And this was the work of the stand. Panels were to them, and the panels were between the frames. 29 And on the panels that were between the frames were lions, cattle, and cherubs. And on the frames was a pedestal from above, and from below to the lions and to the cattle were wreaths, the work of descent. 30 And four wheels of bronze were to one stand, and axles of bronze. And its four corners, shoulders were to them, from below to the basin. The shoulders were cast on the side of each with wreaths. 31 And its mouth from the inside of the capital and upward was by a cubit. And its mouth was circular, the work of a pedestal, a cubit and half of a cubit, and also on its mouth were carvings. But their panels were square, not circular. 32 And the four of the wheels were beneath the panels, and the hands of the wheels were in the stand. And the height of one wheel was a cubit and half of a cubit. 33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of the wheel of a chariot. Their hands and their rims and their spokes and their hubs, the whole was cast. 34 And four shoulders were to the four corners of one stand, from the stand were its shoulders. 35 And on the head of the stand, half of a cubit was the height, circular all around. And on the head of the stand, its hands and its panels were from it. 36 And he engraved cherubs, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its hands and on its panels, according to the bare space of each, and wreaths all around. 37 Like this he made the ten stands. One casting, one size, one shape was to all of them.

38 And he made ten bronze basins. One basin contained 40 baths. One basin was four by the cubit. One basin was on one stand, for the ten stands. 39 And he put the stands, five on the shoulder of the house from the right and five on the shoulder of the house from its left. And he put the sea from the right shoulder of the house, eastward toward the south.

40 And Hiram made basins and shovels and bowls. And Hiram finished doing all of the work that he did for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh: 41 the two pillars, and the bowls of the capitals that were on the head of the two pillars, and the two networks for covering the two bowls of the capitals that were on the head of the pillars, 42 and the 400 pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the faces of the pillars, 43 and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands, 44 and the one sea, and the 12 cattle under the sea, 45 and the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And all of these vessels that Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh were polished bronze. 46 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay of the ground between Succoth and between Zarethan. 47 And Solomon let all of the vessels rest, from great, great abundance. The weight of the bronze was not determined.

48 And Solomon made all of the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the altar of gold, and the table that on it was the bread of the face, gold, 49 and the five lampstands on the right and five on the left to the face of the inner sanctuary, pure gold, and the blossom and the lamps and the tongs, gold, 50 and the basins and the trimmers and the sprinkling bowls and the palms and the firepans, pure gold, and the sockets of the doors of the inner house, for the Holy of Holies, for the doors of the house, for the temple, gold.

51 And all of the work that King Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was complete. And Solomon brought in the holy things of David, his father. The silver and the gold and the vessels, he put in the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
