st Kings _Chapter 6

In the forty and eighty years after the Israelites left Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign as king of Israel, in the month of Sepher, which was the second month, construction began on the temple of the Lord.

The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

The porch in front of the temple is twenty cubits long, just like the width of the temple, ten cubits wide.

He also made strict window frames for the palace.

By leaning against the palace wall and surrounding the outer and inner halls, a three story side house was built.

The lower layer is five cubits wide, the middle layer is six cubits wide, and the upper layer is seven cubits wide. The beams and beams of the houses outside the hall are placed on the ridge of the hall wall to prevent them from being inserted into the hall wall.

Jiandian is made of stones chiseled from the mountains. When building the palace, I didn’t hear the sound of hammers, axes, or any other iron tools.

There is a door in the side room on the right side of the hall, and there is a spiral staircase inside the door, which can lead to the second floor and from the second floor to the third floor.

Solomon built the temple and placed cedar beams, and covered it with cedar boards.

The side houses built against the temple are five cubits high on each floor, with cedar beams resting on the walls and ridges of the temple.

The word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

As for the temple you have built, if you follow my laws, keep my judgments, and follow all my commandments, I will fulfill the words I promised your father David to you.

I will dwell among the Israelites and not abandon my people Israel.

Solomon built a temple.

Inside the palace, cedar boards were used to cover the walls, from the ground to the ceiling, and pine boards were used to pave the ground.

The inner sanctuary, which is the most holy place, is twenty cubits long and is covered with cedar boards from the ground to the ceiling.

The outer hall in front of the inner hall is forty cubits long.

There are no stones exposed in the hall, all covered with cedar wood. Carved on it are wild melons and blooming flowers.

The inner palace was prepared in the temple to house the ark of the Lord.

The inner hall is twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high, and the walls are covered with pure gold. And he made an altar of cedar wood, and wrapped it with pure gold.

Solomon overlaid the walls of the inner palace with pure gold, and hung gold chains on the front doors of the inner palace, wrapping them in gold.

The entire hall was covered with gold until it was finished. The altars in front of the inner hall are also wrapped in gold.

He made two cherubims of olive wood, each ten cubits high, and placed them in the inner temple.

This cherub has two wings, each five cubits long, from one wing tip to another, totaling ten cubits.

The two wings of that cherub are also ten cubits, and the size and shape of the two cherubims are the same.

This cherub is ten cubits tall, and so is the other cherub.

He placed two cherubims in the inner temple. The wings of a cherub are spread out, with one wing of this cherub touching the wall on one side and the other wing touching the wall on the other side. The two wings inside are connected to each other in the middle of the temple.

And he wrapped the two cherubim in gold.

The walls around the inner and outer halls are carved with cherubims, palm trees, and blooming flowers.

The floors of the inner and outer halls are covered with gold.

He also made olive wood doors, lintels, and frames for the inner hall. There is a fifth of the wall at the entrance.

On the two olive wood doors were carved cherubims, palm trees, and blooming flowers, all overlaid with gold.

He also made the door frames of the outer hall of olive wood, with a quarter of the wall at the entrance.

Use pine wood to make two doors. This fan is divided into two and folded. That fan is divided into two. It’s also folded.

On it were engraved cherubims, palm trees, and blooming flowers, all overlaid with gold.

He built the inner courtyard with three layers of chiseled stones and one layer of cedar wood.

In the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in the month of Sepher, he laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord.

In the eleventh year, in the month of Buhler, which was the eighth month, the temple and all that belonged to it were made according to their design. He built the temple for a total of seven years.
