II Chronicles 3 · דברי הימים ב

Then Shelomo began to build the house of the Lord at Yerushalayim in mount Moriyya, where the Lord appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing floor of Ornan the Yevusite.

And he began to build on the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

Now, these are the foundations which Shelomo laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the ancient measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was a hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

And the greater house he covered with cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it shapes of palm trees and chains.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvayim.

And he overlaid the house, the beams, the posts, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved keruvim on the walls.

And he made the most holy place, the length of which was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

And in the most holy place he made two keruvim of figured work, and overlaid them with gold.

And the wings of the keruvim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other keruv.

And the wing of the other keruv was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other keruv.

The wings of these keruvim spread themselves out to twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and worked keruvim on it.

Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

And he made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Yakhin, and the name of that on the left Bo῾az.
