Entonces Salomón comenzó a edificar la casa del SEÑOR^a en Jerusalén en el monte Moriah, donde el SEÑOR se había aparecido a su padre David, en el lugar que David había preparado en la era de Ornán jebuseo^b. 2 Y comenzó a edificar en el segundo día del segundo mes, del¹ año cuarto de su reinado. 3 Estos son los cimientos que Salomón puso para la edificación de¹ la casa de Dios. La longitud en codos², conforme a la medida antigua, era de sesenta codos, y la anchura de veinte codos^a. 4 Y el pórtico que estaba al frente del templo¹ tenía la misma longitud que la anchura de la casa, veinte codos^a, y la altura, ciento veinte; y lo revistió por dentro de oro puro. 5 Recubrió el salón principal^1a de madera de ciprés, la revistió de oro fino y la adornó² con palmas y cadenillas. 6 Adornó¹ además la casa con piedras preciosas; y el oro era oro de Parvaim². 7 ^aTambién revistió de oro la casa: las vigas, los umbrales, sus paredes y sus puertas; y esculpió querubines en las paredes^b.

8 Hizo asimismo la habitación¹ del lugar santísimo^a; su longitud, correspondiente a² la anchura de la casa, era de veinte codos, y su anchura era de veinte codos; la revistió de oro fino, que ascendía a seiscientos talentos. 9 El peso de los clavos era de cincuenta siclos de oro. También revistió de oro los aposentos altos^a.

10 Entonces hizo dos querubines de obra tallada en la habitación¹ del lugar santísimo y los revistió de oro^a. 11 Y las alas de los dos querubines medían veinte codos; el ala de uno, de cinco codos, tocaba la pared de la casa, y su otra ala, de cinco codos, tocaba el ala del otro querubín. 12 Y el ala del otro querubín, de cinco codos, tocaba la pared de la casa; y su otra ala, de cinco codos, se unía al ala del primer¹ querubín. 13 Las alas de estos querubines se extendían veinte codos; estaban de pie, con sus rostros vueltos hacia el salón¹ principal. 14 Hizo después el velo de violeta, púrpura, carmesí y lino fino, e hizo bordar¹ querubines en él^a.

15 ^aHizo también dos columnas para el frente de la casa, de treinta y cinco codos de alto¹, y el capitel encima de cada una era de cinco codos. 16 Hizo asimismo cadenillas en el santuario interior, y las puso encima de las columnas; e hizo cien granadas y las puso en las cadenillas. 17 Y erigió las columnas delante del templo, una a la derecha y otra a la izquierda, y llamó a la de la derecha Jaquín¹ y a la de la izquierda Boaz^2a.

^aThen 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 ^bon the threshing floor of ¹Ornan the Jebusite. 2 He began to build on the second day in the second month ¹of the fourth year of his reign.

3 Now these are the ¹foundations which ^aSolomon laid for building the house of God. The length in ²cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits. 4 The porch which was in front of the house ^awas as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. 5 He overlaid ^athe ¹main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ²ornamented it with palm trees and chains. 6 Further, he ¹adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from ²Parvaim. 7 ^aHe also overlaid the house with gold—the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he ^bcarved cherubim on the walls.

8 Now he made ^athe ¹room 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. 9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid ^athe upper rooms with gold.

10 ^aThen he made two ¹sculptured cherubim in the room of the holy of holies and overlaid them with gold. 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. 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 ¹first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet ¹facing the main room. 14 ^aHe made the veil of violet, purple, crimson and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.

15 ^aHe also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits ¹high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits. 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. 17 ^aHe 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.

^aThen Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, ^bon the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1+@Chr 21:20-22 2 Solomon began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.

3 Now this is the measurement of the foundation which ^aSolomon laid for the house of God: the length in cubits—by the old standard of measure—was sixty cubits (90 ft.) , and the width was twenty cubits (30 ft.) . 4 The porch in front of the house ^awas as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was 120 cubits. He overlaid it inside with pure gold. 5 He overlaid ^athe main room the Holy Place with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and decorated it with palm trees and chains. 6 And he adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 7 ^aHe also overlaid the house the Holy Place with gold—the beams, the thresholds, and its walls and its doors; and ^bhe carved cherubim on the walls.

8 Now he made the ^aroom of the Holy of Holies: its length equaling the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with 600 talents of fine gold. 9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid ^athe upper rooms with gold.

10 ^aAnd in the Holy of Holies he made two sculptured cherubim, and overlaid them with gold. 11 The wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits: one wing of one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the other cherub’s wing. 12 The wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and its other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. The cherubim stood on their feet, their faces toward the Holy Place (the main room) . 14 ^aHe made the veil between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies of blue, purple, and crimson colors, and ¹fine linen, and embroidered cherubim on it.

15 ^aHe also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each one was five cubits. 16 He made chains like a necklace in the inner sanctuary and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains. 17 ^aHe erected the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right, the other on the left, and named the one on the right Jachin (may He establish) and the one on the left Boaz (in Him is strength) .

^aThen 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 ^bon the threshing floor of ¹Ornan the Jebusite. 2 He began to build on the second day in the second month ¹of the fourth year of his reign.

3 Now these are the ¹foundations which ^aSolomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard, was ²sixty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits. 4 The porch which was in front of the house ^awas as long as the width of the house, ¹twenty cubits, and the height ²twenty; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. 5 He overlaid ^athe ¹main room with juniper wood and overlaid it with fine gold; and he ²ornamented it with palm trees and chains. 6 Further, he overlaid the house ¹with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 7 ^aHe also overlaid the house with gold—the beams, the thresholds, and its walls and doors; and he ^bcarved cherubim on the walls.

8 Then he made ^athe ¹room of the Most Holy Place: its length across the width of the house was ²twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to ³six hundred talents. 9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid ^athe upper rooms with gold.

10 ^aThen he made two ¹sculptured cherubim in the room of the Most Holy Place and overlaid them with gold. 11 The wingspan of the ¹cherubim was twenty ²cubits; 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. 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 ¹first cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet ¹facing the main room. 14 ^aHe made the veil of violet, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and he worked cherubim into it.

15 ^aHe also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits ¹high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits. 16 He made chains in the inner sanctuary and placed them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates and placed them on the chains. 17 ^aHe 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.
