2 Chronicles 3 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 So Solomon began to build the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to David, his father. The Temple was built on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the site that David had selected.
2 The construction began in midspring, during the fourth year of Solomon's reign.
3 These are the dimensions Solomon used for the foundation of the Temple of God (using the old standard of measurement). It was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
4 The entry room at the front of the Temple was 30 feet wide, running across the entire width of the Temple, and 30 feet high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 He paneled the main room of the Temple with cypress wood, overlaid it with fine gold, and decorated it with carvings of palm trees and chains.
6 He decorated the walls of the Temple with beautiful jewels and with gold from the land of Parvaim.
7 He overlaid the beams, thresholds, walls, and doors throughout the Temple with gold, and he carved figures of cherubim on the walls.
8 He made the Most Holy Place 30 feet wide, corresponding to the width of the Temple, and 30 feet deep. He overlaid its interior with 23 tons of fine gold.
9 The gold nails that were used weighed 20 ounces each. He also overlaid the walls of the upper rooms with gold.
10 He made two figures shaped like cherubim, overlaid them with gold, and placed them in the Most Holy Place.
11 The total wingspan of the two cherubim standing side by side was 30 feet. One wing of the first figure was 7-1/2 feet long, and it touched the Temple wall. The other wing, also 7-1/2 feet long, touched one of the wings of the second figure.
12 In the same way, the second figure had one wing 7-1/2 feet long that touched the opposite wall. The other wing, also 7-1/2 feet long, touched the wing of the first figure.
13 So the wingspan of the two cherubim side by side was 30 feet. They stood on their feet and faced out toward the main room of the Temple.
14 Across the entrance of the Most Holy Place he hung a curtain made of fine linen, decorated with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and embroidered with figures of cherubim.
15 For the front of the Temple, he made two pillars that were 27 feet tall, each topped by a capital extending upward another 7-1/2 feet.
16 He made a network of interwoven chains and used them to decorate the tops of the pillars. He also made 100 decorative pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
17 Then he set up the two pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one to the south of the entrance and the other to the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz.
1 Then Solomon H8010 MMS began H2490 W-VHY3MS to build H1129 the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS at Jerusalem H3389 in mount H2022 Moriah H4179 , where H834 RPRO the LORD appeared H7200 unto David H1732 his father H1 , in the place H4725 B-CMS that H834 RPRO David H1732 had prepared H3559 in the threshingfloor H1637 of Ornan H771 the Jebusite H2983 .

8 And he made H6213 W-VQY3MS the most holy H6944 house H1004 , the length H753 whereof was according to PREP the breadth H7341 of the house H1004 D-NMS , twenty H6242 cubits H520 , and the breadth H7341 thereof twenty H6242 cubits H520 : and he overlaid H2645 it with fine H2896 AMS gold H2091 NMS , amounting to six H8337 RFS hundred H3967 talents H3603 .
9 And the weight H4948 of the nails H4548 was fifty H2572 MMP shekels H8255 of gold H2091 NMS . And he overlaid H2645 the upper chambers H5944 with gold H2091 .
10 And in the most holy H6944 house H1004 he made H6213 W-VQY3MS two H8147 ONUM cherubims H3742 of image H6816 work H4639 M-CMS , and overlaid H6823 them with gold H2091 .
11 And the wings H3671 of the cherubims H3742 were twenty H6242 cubits H520 long H753 : one H259 wing H3671 CFS of the one cherub was five H2568 MFS cubits H520 , reaching H5060 to the wall H7023 of the house H1004 D-NMS : and the other H312 wing H3671 was likewise five H2568 MFS cubits H520 , reaching H5060 to the wing H3671 of the other H312 cherub H3742 .
12 And one wing H3671 of the other H259 cherub H3742 was five H2568 MFS cubits H520 , reaching H5060 to the wall H7023 of the house H1004 : and the other H312 wing H3671 was five H2568 MFS cubits H520 also , joining H1695 to the wing H3671 of the other H312 cherub H3742 .
13 The wings H3671 of these H428 D-DPRO-3MP cherubims H3742 spread themselves forth H6566 twenty H6242 cubits H520 : and they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP stood H5975 VQPMP on H5921 PREP their feet H7272 CFD-3MP , and their faces H6440 W-CMP-3MP were inward H1004 .
14 And he made H6213 W-VQY3MS the veil H6532 of blue H8504 , and purple H713 , and crimson H3758 , and fine linen H948 , and wrought H5927 W-VHY3MS cherubims H3742 thereon H5921 PREP-3MS .
15 Also he made H6213 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP the house H1004 D-NMS two H8147 ONUM pillars H5982 of thirty H7970 MMP and five H2568 cubits H520 high H753 CMS , and the chapiter H6858 that H834 RPRO was on H5921 PREP the top H7218 CMS-3MS of each of them was five H2568 cubits H520 .
16 And he made H6213 W-VQY3MS chains H8333 , as in the oracle H1687 , and put H5414 W-VQQ3MS them on H5921 PREP the heads H7218 NMS of the pillars H5982 ; and made H6213 W-VQY3MS a hundred H3967 MFS pomegranates H7416 , and put H5414 W-VQQ3MS them on the chains H8333 .
