I - Chapter 6

1In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites left the land of Egypt, in the month of Ziv—that is, the second month—in the fourth year of his reign over Yisrael, Shlomo began to build the House of Hashem.

2The House which King Shlomo built for Hashem was 60 amot long, 20 amot wide, and 30 amot high.

3The portico in front of the Great Hall of the House was 20 amot long—along the width of the House—and 10 amot deep to the front of the House.

4He made windows for the House, recessed and latticed.

5Against the outside wall of the House—the outside walls of the House enclosing the Great Hall and the Shrine—he built a storied structure; and he made side chambers all around.

6The lowest story was 5 amot wide, the middle one 6 amot wide, and the third 7 amot wide; for he had provided recesses around the outside of the House so as not to penetrate the walls of the House.

7When the House was built, only finished stones cut at the quarry were used, so that no hammer or ax or any iron tool was heard in the House while it was being built.

8The entrance to the middle [story of] the side chambers was on the right side of the House; and winding stairs led up to the middle chambers, and from the middle chambers to the third story.

9When he finished building the House, he paneled the House with beams and planks of cedar.

10He built the storied structure against the entire House—each story 5 amot high, so that it encased the House with timbers of cedar.

11Then the word of Hashem came to Shlomo,

vai-HI, d'-VAR a-do-NAI el sh'-LO-mo lay-MOR

12“With regard to this House you are building—if you follow My laws and observe My rules and faithfully keep My commandments, I will fulfill for you the promise that I gave to your father David:

14When Shlomo had completed the construction of the House,

vai-YI-ven sh'-LO-mo et ha-BA-yit va-y'-ka-LAY-hu

15he paneled the walls of the House on the inside with planks of cedar. He also overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, from the floor of the House to the ceiling. And he overlaid the floor of the House with planks of cypress.

16Twenty amot from the rear of the House, he built [a partition] of cedar planks from the floor to the walls; he furnished its interior to serve as a shrine, as the Holy of Holies.

17The front part of the House, that is, the Great Hall, measured 40 amot.

יזוְאַרְבָּעִ֥ים בָּאַמָּ֖ה הָיָ֣ה הַבָּ֑יִת ה֖וּא הַהֵיכָ֥ל לִפְנָֽי׃

18The cedar of the interior of the House had carvings of gourds and calyxes; it was all cedar, no stone was exposed.

19In the innermost part of the House, he fixed a Shrine in which to place the Aron Brit Hashem.

20The interior of the Shrine was 20 amot long, 20 amot wide, and 20 amot high. He overlaid it with solid gold; he similarly overlaid [its] cedar mizbayach.

21Shlomo overlaid the interior of the House with solid gold; and he inserted golden chains into the door of the Shrine. He overlaid [the Shrine] with gold,

22so that the entire House was overlaid with gold; he even overlaid with gold the entire mizbayach of the Shrine. And so the entire House was completed.

23In the Shrine he made two cherubim of olive wood, each 10 amot high.

24[One] had a wing measuring 5 amot and another wing measuring 5 amot, so that the spread from wingtip to wingtip was 10 amot;

25and the wingspread of the other cherub was also 10 amot. The two cherubim had the same measurements and proportions:

26the height of the one cherub was 10 amot, and so was that of the other cherub.

27He placed the cherubim inside the inner chamber. Since the wings of the cherubim were extended, a wing of the one touched one wall and a wing of the other touched the other wall, while their wings in the center of the chamber touched each other.

28He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29All over the walls of the House, of both the inner area and the outer area, he carved reliefs of cherubim, palms, and calyxes,

32The double doors were of olive wood, and on them he carved reliefs of cherubim, palms, and calyxes. He overlaid them with gold, hammering the gold onto the cherubim and the palms.
