1 А свой дом Соломон строил тринадцать лет и окончил весь дом свой. 2 И построил он дом из дерева Ливанского, длиною во сто локтей, шириною в пятьдесят локтей, а вышиною в тридцать локтей, на четырех рядах кедровых столбов; и кедровые бревна [положены были] на столбах. 3 И настлан был помост из кедра над бревнами на сорока пяти столбах, по пятнадцати в ряд. 4 Оконных косяков [было] три ряда; и три ряда [окон], окно против окна. 5 И все двери и дверные косяки были четырехугольные, и окно против окна, в три ряда. 6 И притвор из столбов сделал он длиною в пятьдесят локтей, шириною в тридцать локтей, и пред ними крыльцо, и столбы, и порог пред ними. 7 Еще притвор с престолом, с которого он судил, притвор для судилища сделал он и покрыл все полы кедром. 8 В доме, где он жил, другой двор позади притвора был такого же устройства. И в доме дочери фараоновой, которую взял за себя Соломон, он сделал такой же притвор. 9 Все это сделано было из дорогих камней, обтесанных по размеру, обрезанных пилою, с внутренней и наружной стороны, от основания до выступов, и с наружной стороны до большого двора. 10 И в основание положены были камни дорогие, камни большие, камни в десять локтей и камни в восемь локтей, 11 и сверху дорогие камни, обтесанные по размеру, и кедр. 12 Большой двор огорожен был кругом тремя рядами тесаных камней и одним рядом кедровых бревен; также и внутренний двор храма Господа и притвор храма. 13 И послал царь Соломон и взял из Тира Хирама, 14 сына одной вдовы, из колена Неффалимова. Отец его Тирянин был медник; он владел способностью, искусством и уменьем выделывать всякие вещи из меди. И пришел он к царю Соломону и производил у него всякие работы: 15 и сделал он два медных столба, каждый в восемнадцать локтей вышиною, и снурок в двенадцать локтей обнимал [окружность] того и другого столба; 16 и два венца, вылитых из меди, он сделал, чтобы положить на верху столбов: пять локтей вышины в одном венце и пять локтей вышины в другом венце; 17 сетки плетеной работы и снурки в виде цепочек для венцов, которые были на верху столбов: семь на одном венце и семь на другом венце. 18 Так сделал он столбы и два ряда гранатовых яблок вокруг сетки, чтобы покрыть венцы, которые на верху столбов; то же сделал и для другого венца. 19 А в притворе венцы на верху столбов сделаны [на подобие лилии], в четыре локтя, 20 и венцы на обоих столбах вверху, прямо над выпуклостью, которая подле сетки; и на другом венце, рядами кругом, двести гранатовых яблок. 21 И поставил столбы к притвору храма; поставил столб направой стороне и дал ему имя Иахин, и поставил столб на левой стороне и дал ему имя Воаз. 22 И над столбами поставил [венцы], сделанные [наподобие] лилии; так окончена работа над столбами. 23 И сделал литое [из меди] море, – от края его до края его десять локтей, – совсем круглое, вышиною в пять локтей, и снурок в тридцать локтей обнимал его кругом. 24 [Подобия] огурцов под краями его окружали его по десяти на локоть, окружали море со всех сторон в два ряда; [подобия] огурцов были вылиты с ним одним литьем. 25 Оно стояло на двенадцати волах: три глядели к северу, три глядели к западу, три глядели к югу и три глядели к востоку; море лежало на них, и зады их [обращены были] внутрь под него. 26 Толщиною оно было в ладонь, и края его, сделанные подобно краям чаши, [походили] на распустившуюся лилию. Оно вмещало две тысячи батов. 27 И сделал он десять медных подстав; длина каждой подставы – четыре локтя, ширина – четыре локтя и три локтя – вышина. 28 И вот устройство подстав: у них стенки, стенки между наугольными пластинками; 29 на стенках, которые между наугольниками, [изображены] были львы, волы и херувимы; также и на наугольниках, а выше и ниже львов и волов – развесистые венки; 30 у каждой подставы по четыре медных колеса и оси медные. На четырех углах выступы на подобие плеч, выступы литые внизу, под чашею, подле каждого венка. 31 Отверстие от внутреннего венка до верха в один локоть; отверстие его круглое, подобно подножию столбов, в полтора локтя, и при отверстии его изваяния; но боковые стенки четырехугольные, не круглые. 32 Под стенками было четыре колеса, и оси колес в подставах; вышина каждого колеса – полтора локтя. 33 Устройство колес такое же, как устройство колес в колеснице; оси их, и ободья их, и спицы их, и ступицы их, все было литое. 34 Четыре выступа на четырех углах каждой подставы; из подставы [выходили] выступы ее. 35 И на верху подставы круглое возвышение на поллоктя вышины; и на верху подставы рукоятки ее и стенки ее из одной с нею массы. 36 И изваял он на дощечках ее рукоятки и на стенках ее херувимов, львов и пальмы, сколько где позволяло место, и вокруг развесистые венки. 37 Так сделал он десять подстав: у всех их одно литье, одна мера, один вид. 38 И сделал десять медных умывальниц: каждая умывальница вмещала сорок батов, каждая умывальница была в четыре локтя, каждая умывальница стояла на одной из десяти подстав. 39 И расставил подставы – пять на правой стороне храма и пять на левой стороне храма, а море поставил на правой стороне храма, на восточно–южной стороне. 40 И сделал Хирам умывальницы и лопатки и чаши. И кончил Хирам всю работу, которую производил у царя Соломона для храма Господня: 41 два столба и две опояски венцов, которые на верху столбов, и две сетки для покрытия двух опоясок венцов, которые на верху столбов; 42 и четыреста гранатовых яблок на двух сетках; два ряда гранатовых яблок для каждой сетки, для покрытия двух опоясок венцов, которые на столбах; 43 и десять подстав и десять умывальниц на подставах; 44 одно море и двенадцать волов под морем; 45 и тазы, и лопатки, и чаши. Все вещи, которые сделал Хирам царю Соломону для храма Господа, [были] из полированной меди. 46 Царь выливал их в глинистой земле, в окрестности Иордана, между Сокхофом и Цартаном. 47 И поставил Соломон все сии вещи [на место]. По причине чрезвычайного их множества, вес меди не определен. 48 И сделал Соломон все вещи, которые в храме Господа: золотой жертвенник и золотой стол, на котором хлебы предложения; 49 и светильники – пять по правую сторону и пять по левую сторону, пред задним отделением храма, из чистого золота, и цветы, и лампадки, и щипцы из золота; 50 и блюда, и ножи, и чаши, и лотки, и кадильницы из чистого золота, и петли у дверей внутреннего храма во Святом Святых и у дверей в храме из золота же. 51 Так совершена вся работа, которую производил царь Соломон для храма Господа. И принес Соломон посвященное Давидом, отцом его; серебро и золото и вещи отдал в сокровищницы храма Господня.

Solomon builds his palace

1 But it took Solomon 13 years to finish constructing his palace and the other buildings related to it. 2 He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 50 metres long. It was 25 metres wide. And it was 15 metres high. It had four rows of cedar columns. They held up beautiful cedar beams. 3 Above the beams was a roof made out of cedar boards. It rested on the columns. There were three rows of beams with 15 in each row. The total number of beams was 45. 4 The windows of the palace were placed high up in the walls. They were in groups of three. And they faced each other. 5 All the doorways had frames shaped like rectangles. They were in front. They were in groups of three. And they faced each other. 6 Solomon made a covered area. It was 25 metres long. And it was 15 metres wide. Its roof was held up by columns. In front of it was a porch. In front of that were pillars and a roof that went out beyond them. 7 Solomon built the throne hall. It was called the Hall of Justice. That’s where he would serve as judge. He covered the hall with cedar boards from floor to ceiling. 8 The palace where he would live was set further back. Its plan was something like the plan for the hall. Solomon had married Pharaoh’s daughter. He made a palace for her. It was like the hall. 9 All those buildings were made out of blocks of good quality stone. They were cut to the right size. They were made smooth on their back and front sides. Those stones were used for the outside of each building and for the large courtyard. They were also used from the foundations up to the roofs. 10 Large blocks of good quality stone were used for the foundations. Some were 5 metres long. Others were 4 metres long. 11 The walls above them were made out of good quality stones. The stones were cut to the right size. On top of them was a layer of cedar beams. 12 The large courtyard had a wall around it. The first three layers of the wall were made out of blocks of stone. The top layer was made out of beautiful cedar wood. The same thing was done with the inside courtyard of the LORD’s temple and its porch.

More facts about the temple

13 King Solomon sent messengers to Tyre. He wanted them to bring Huram back with them. 14 Huram’s mother was a widow. She was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram’s father was from Tyre. He was skilled in working with bronze. Huram also had great skill, knowledge and understanding in working with bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all the work he was asked to do. 15 Huram made two bronze pillars. Each of them was 9 metres high. And each was 6 metres round. 16 Each pillar had a decorated top made out of bronze. Each top was 2.5 metres high. 17 Chains that were linked together hung down from the tops of the pillars. There were seven chains for each top. 18 Huram made two rows of pomegranates. They circled the chains. The pomegranates decorated the tops of the pillars. Huram did the same thing for each pillar. 19 The tops on the pillars of the porch were shaped like lilies. The lilies were 2 metres high. 20 On the tops of both pillars were 200 pomegranates. They were in rows all around the tops. They were above the part that was shaped like a bowl. And they were next to the chains. 21 Huram set the pillars up at the temple porch. The pillar on the south he named Jakin. The one on the north he named Boaz. 22 The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on the pillars was finished. 23 Huram made a huge metal bowl for washing. Its shape was round. It measured 5 metres from rim to rim. It was 2.5 metres high. And it was 15 metres round. 24 Below the rim there was a circle of gourds around the bowl. In every half a metre round the bowl there were ten gourds. The gourds were arranged in two rows. They were made as part of the bowl itself. 25 The huge bowl stood on 12 bulls. Three of them faced north. Three faced west. Three faced south. And three faced east. The bowl rested on top of the bulls. Their rear ends were towards the centre. 26 The bowl was 8 centimetres thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup. The rim was shaped like the bloom of a lily. The bowl held 48,000 litres of water. 27 Huram also made ten stands out of bronze. They could be moved around. Each stand was 2 metres long. It was 2 metres wide. And it was 1.5 metres high. 28 Here is how the stands were made. They had sides that were joined to posts. 29 On the sides between the posts were lions, bulls and cherubim. They were also on all of the posts. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths made out of hammered metal. 30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Each stand had a bowl that rested on four supports. The stand had wreaths on each side. 31 There was a round opening on the inside of each stand. The opening had a frame half a metre deep. The sides were 75 centimetres high from the top of the opening to the bottom of the base. There was carving around the opening. The sides of the stands were square, not round. 32 The four wheels were under the sides. The axles of the wheels were connected to the stand. Each wheel was 75 centimetres across. 33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels. All the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were made out of metal. 34 Each stand had four handles on it. There was one on each corner. They came out from the stand. 35 At the top of the stand there was a round band. It was 25 centimetres deep. The sides and supports were connected to the top of the stand. 36 Huram carved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the sides of the stands. He also carved them on the surfaces of the supports. His carving covered every open space. He had also carved wreaths all around. 37 That’s how he made the ten stands. All of them were made in the same moulds. And they had the same size and shape. 38 Then Huram made ten bronze bowls. Each one held 960 litres. The bowls measured 2 metres across. There was one bowl for each of the ten stands. 39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple. He placed the other five on the north side. He put the huge bowl on the south side. It was at the southeast corner of the temple. 40 He also made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work he had started for King Solomon. Here’s what he made for the LORD’s temple. 41 He made the two pillars. He made the two tops for the pillars. The tops were shaped like bowls. He made the two sets of chains that were linked together. They decorated the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars. 42 He made the 400 pomegranates for the two sets of chains. There were two rows of pomegranates for each chain. They decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the pillars. 43 He made the ten stands with their ten bowls. 44 He made the huge bowl. He made the 12 bulls that were under it. 45 He made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. Huram made all those objects for King Solomon for the LORD’s temple. He made them out of bronze. Then he polished them. 46 The king had made them in clay moulds. It was done on the plain of the River Jordan between Sukkoth and Zarethan. 47 Solomon didn’t weigh any of those things. There were too many of them to weigh. No one even tried to weigh the bronze they were made out of. 48 Solomon also made everything in the LORD’s temple. He made the golden altar. He made the golden table for the holy bread. 49 He made the pure gold lampstands. There were five on the right and five on the left. They were in front of the Most Holy Room. He made the gold flowers. He made the gold lamps and tongs. 50 He made the bowls, wick cutters, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and shallow cups for burning incense. All of them were made out of pure gold. He made the gold bases for the doors of the inside room. That’s the Most Holy Room. He also made gold bases for the doors of the main hall of the temple. 51 King Solomon finished all the work for the LORD’s temple. Then he brought in the things his father David had set apart for the LORD. They included the silver and gold and all the other things for the LORD’s temple. Solomon placed them with the other treasures that were there.
