- 1
Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
- 2
For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.
- 3
It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row.
- 4
There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window in three ranks.
- 5
All the doors and posts were made square with beams; and window was facing window in three ranks.
- 6
He made the hall of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them.
- 7
He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
- 8
His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the same construction. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
- 9
All these were of costly stones, even of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
- 10
The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.
- 11
Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
- 12
The great court around had three courses of cut stone with a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the LORD’s house and the porch of the house.
- 13
King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.
- 14
He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. He came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
- 15
For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them.
- 16
He made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
- 17
There were nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
- 18
So he made the pillars; and there were two rows of pomegranates around the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.
- 19
The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.
- 20
There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around the other capital.
- 21
He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz.
- 22
On the tops of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.
- 23
He made the molten sea ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape. Its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.
- 24
Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
- 25
It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.
- 26
It was a hand width thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.
- 27
He made the ten bases of bronze. The length of one base was four cubits, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.
- 28
The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
- 29
and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
- 30
Every base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze; and its four feet had supports. The supports were cast beneath the basin, with wreaths at the side of each.
- 31
Its opening within the capital and above was a cubit. Its opening was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.
- 32
The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
- 33
The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast metal.
- 34
There were four supports at the four corners of each base. Its supports were of the base itself.
- 35
In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same.
- 36
On the plates of its supports and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around.
- 37
He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
- 38
He made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. Every basin measured four cubits. One basin was on every one of the ten bases.
- 39
He set the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south.
- 40
Hiram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for King Solomon in the LORD’s house:
- 41
the two pillars; the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
- 42
the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
- 43
the ten bases; the ten basins on the bases;
- 44
the one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea;
- 45
the pots; the shovels; and the basins. All of these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon for the LORD’s house, were of burnished bronze.
- 46
The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
- 47
Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
- 48
Solomon made all the vessels that were in the LORD’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold;
- 49
and the lamp stands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
- 50
the cups, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
- 51
Thus all the work that King Solomon did in the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them in the treasuries of the LORD’s house.
- 1
Salomão estava construindo sua própria casa há treze anos, e terminou toda a sua casa.
- 2
Pois ele construiu a Casa da Floresta do Líbano. Seu comprimento era de cem cúbitos, sua largura de cinqüenta cúbitos e sua altura de trinta cúbitos, em quatro fileiras de pilares de cedro, com vigas de cedro sobre os pilares.
- 3
Foi coberto com cedro acima das quarenta e cinco vigas que estavam sobre os pilares, quinze em uma fileira.
- 4
There eram vigas em três fileiras, e a janela estava de frente para a janela em três fileiras.
- 5
Todas as portas e postes foram feitos quadrados com vigas; e a janela estava voltada para a janela em três fileiras.
- 6
Ele fez o salão dos pilares. Seu comprimento era de cinqüenta cúbitos e sua largura de trinta cúbitos, com um alpendre diante deles, e pilares e uma soleira diante deles.
- 7
Ele fez o pórtico do trono onde devia julgar, até mesmo o pórtico do julgamento; e foi coberto com cedro de andar a andar.
- 8
Sua casa onde ele deveria morar, a outra corte dentro do pórtico, era da mesma construção. Ele fez também uma casa para a filha do faraó (que Salomão havia tomado como esposa), como este alpendre.
- 9
Tudo isto era de pedras caras, mesmo de pedra cortada à medida, serrada com serras, por dentro e por fora, mesmo desde a fundação até a cobertura, e assim por fora até a grande corte.
- 10
A fundação era de pedras caras, mesmo de grandes pedras, pedras de dez cúbitos e pedras de oito cúbitos.
- 11
Acima estavam pedras caras, até mesmo pedras cortadas, segundo as medidas, e madeira de cedro.
- 12
A grande quadra ao redor tinha três cursos de pedra cortada com um curso de vigas de cedro, como a quadra interna da casa de Yahweh e o alpendre da casa.
- 13
O rei Salomão enviou e trouxe o Hiram para fora de Tyre.
- 14
Ele era filho de uma viúva da tribo de Naftali, e seu pai era um homem de Tiro, um trabalhador em bronze; e ele estava cheio de sabedoria, compreensão e habilidade para trabalhar todos os trabalhos em bronze. Ele veio ao rei Salomão e realizou todo o seu trabalho.
- 15
Pois ele moldou os dois pilares de bronze, dezoito côvados de altura cada um; e uma linha de doze côvados circundava qualquer um deles.
- 16
Ele fez duas capitéis de bronze fundido para colocar na parte superior dos pilares. A altura de uma capital era de cinco côvados, e a altura da outra capital era de cinco côvados.
- 17
Havia redes de trabalho em damasco e coroas de trabalho em cadeia para as capitéis que estavam no topo dos pilares: sete para uma capital e sete para a outra capital.
- 18
Então ele fez os pilares; e havia duas fileiras de romãs ao redor de uma rede, para cobrir as capitéis que estavam no topo dos pilares; e ele o fez para a outra capital.
- 19
As capitais que estavam no topo dos pilares na varanda eram de lírio, quatro côvados.
- 20
Havia capitais acima também nos dois pilares, junto à barriga que estava ao lado da rede. Havia duzentas romãs em filas ao redor da outra capital.
- 21
Ele ergueu os pilares no alpendre do templo. Ele montou o pilar direito e chamou-o de Jachin; e montou o pilar esquerdo e chamou-o de Boaz.
- 22
No topo dos pilares estava o trabalho de lírios. Assim, o trabalho dos pilares estava terminado.
- 23
Ele fez o mar derretido dez cúbitos de borda a borda, de forma redonda. Sua altura era de cinco côvados; e uma linha de trinta côvados o circundava.
- 24
Sob sua borda ao redor havia botões que o circundavam por dez côvados, circundando o mar. Os gomos estavam em duas fileiras, fundidos quando foi fundido.
- 25
Estava sobre doze bois, três olhando para o norte, três olhando para o oeste, três olhando para o sul e três olhando para o leste; e o mar estava colocado sobre eles acima, e todos os seus quartos traseiros estavam para dentro.
- 26
It era uma largura de mão grossa. Sua borda era trabalhada como a borda de um copo, como a flor de um lírio. Ela segurava dois mil banhos.
- 27
Ele fez as dez bases de bronze. O comprimento de uma base era de quatro cúbitos, quatro cúbitos sua largura, e três cúbitos sua altura.
- 28
O trabalho das bases era assim: tinham painéis; e havia painéis entre as bordas;
- 29
e nos painéis que estavam entre as bordas havia leões, bois e querubins; e nas bordas havia um pedestal em cima; e embaixo dos leões e bois havia grinaldas de trabalho suspenso.
- 30
Cada base tinha quatro rodas de bronze e eixos de bronze; e seus quatro pés tinham suportes. Os suportes eram fundidos sob a bacia, com grinaldas ao lado de cada um.
- 31
Sua abertura dentro da capital e acima era de um côvado. Sua abertura era redonda como o trabalho de um pedestal, um côvado e meio; e também em sua abertura havia gravuras, e seus painéis eram quadrados, não redondos.
- 32
As quatro rodas estavam debaixo dos painéis; e os eixos das rodas estavam na base. A altura de uma roda era de um côvado e meio côvado.
- 33
O trabalho das rodas era como o trabalho de uma roda de carruagem. Seus eixos, suas jantes, seus raios e seus cubos eram todos de metal fundido.
- 34
There eram quatro suportes nos quatro cantos de cada base. Seus suportes eram da própria base.
- 35
Na parte superior da base havia uma faixa redonda com meia altura de côvado; e na parte superior da base seus suportes e seus painéis eram os mesmos.
- 36
Nas placas de seus suportes e em seus painéis, ele gravou querubins, leões e palmeiras, cada um em seu espaço, com grinaldas ao redor.
- 37
Ele fez as dez bases desta maneira: todas tinham uma fundição, uma medida e uma forma.
- 38
Ele fez dez bacias de bronze. Uma bacia continha quarenta banheiras. Cada bacia media quatro côvados. Uma bacia estava em cada uma das dez bases.
- 39
Ele colocou as bases, cinco no lado direito da casa e cinco no lado esquerdo da casa. Ele colocou o mar no lado direito da casa para o leste e em direção ao sul.
- 40
Hiram fez as panelas, as pás e as bacias. Assim, Hiram terminou de fazer todo o trabalho que trabalhou para o rei Salomão na casa de Yahweh:
- 41
os dois pilares; as duas tigelas das capitéis que estavam no topo dos pilares; as duas redes para cobrir as duas tigelas das capitéis que estavam no topo dos pilares;
- 42
as quatrocentas romãs para as duas redes; duas fileiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrir as duas tigelas das capitéis que estavam sobre os pilares;
- 43
as dez bases; as dez bacias sobre as bases;
- 44
o único mar; os doze bois debaixo do mar;
- 45
as panelas; as pás; e as bacias. Todas estas embarcações, que o Hiram fez para o rei Salomão na casa de Yahweh, eram de bronze polido.
- 46
O rei os lançou na planície do Jordão, no chão de barro entre Succoth e Zarethan.
- 47
Salomão deixou todas as embarcações sem pesagem, pois eram muitas. O peso do bronze não pôde ser determinado.
- 48
Solomon fez todas as embarcações que estavam na casa de Yahweh: o altar dourado e a mesa onde estava o pão de exposição, de ouro;
- 49
e os suportes das lâmpadas, cinco do lado direito e cinco do lado esquerdo, em frente ao santuário interior, de ouro puro; e as flores, as lâmpadas e as pinças, de ouro;
- 50
os copos, os rapé, as bacias, as colheres e as panelas de fogo, de ouro puro; e as dobradiças, tanto para as portas da casa interior, o lugar santíssimo, como para as portas da casa, do templo, de ouro.
- 51
Thus todo o trabalho que o rei Salomão fez na casa de Yahweh foi concluído. Salomão trouxe as coisas que David seu pai havia dedicado - a prata, o ouro e os vasos - e as colocou nos tesouros da casa de Yahweh.
